[@lordsafro]

that 4 count is like his non verbal producer tag

[@ryanmc8112]

Molly after every song on TPAB: “I loved that.” Same, Molly. Same.

[@needtocomment]

‘These Walls’ is a quadruple entendre: 1 - vaginal walls 2 - walls of the projects/hood 3 - prison walls 4 - walls of the inmate’s mind (as he thinks about his girl with a famous rapper)

[@eco5312]

Walls of the girls mind too as he brings up interrogation as he’s trying to find out why she’s sad and what she thinks about her man in jail while they have sex

[@needtocomment]

@@eco5312 then it’s a quintuple entendre. So many people get caught up with the incredible beat & hook that they don’t realize how technically incredible (from a lyricism point of view) that song is. Nearly impossible to get on a first listen so not critiquing this video at all; just a general statement

This album transcends music for me it’s more than an album

[@lovegalore8101]

Same, a beautiful philosophical and personal journey. It's a work of art and pure genius with so many relevant and painful themes that are the reality for so many to this day.

[@GiniusX10]

It’s an art piece. It’s the only way I can describe it. It’s that good that I find it hard to believe someone manage to construct an album in this manner.

[@86Sentra]

Its so fucking weird! In the best way

[@yammerrryeet511]

How much a dollar cost is honestly my favorite track off this album. Just the build up, the backing jazz band, and story telling is unparalleled. Simply perfect.

[@TheMissinLink]

then Ron at the end to tie it all up. Definitely my favorite track as well.

[@javi0313]

For sale interlude is so underrated, probably my favorite instrumental on the album. It feels so surreal. Great reaction!

[@sandenson]

It sounds so majestic. Reminds me of some shit I've heard from Snarky Puppy, with those synths.

[@redmondsurvivor7222]

A lyric from this album that doesn't get talked about a lot but I really love is on the intro of the Blacker The Berry, where the female voice sings ''They want us to bow... down to our knees. And pray to the god... we don't believe.'' Right before the beat comes in

[@juwanrigby1924]

Kendrick wife was saying “we want the funk” in king junta and she was in another song to

[@BankaiFever]

One of the best albums ever. Kendrick’s magnum opus. I remember I was dating a girl and she didn’t care to listen to the lyrics. Needless to say we ain’t together anymore ! Standouts on this album are Hood Politics, Blacker the Berry, complexion, king kunta, these walls and alright. You two are great you don’t need to understand every lyric 🔥

[@Muzikrazy213]

literally my exact list except you left "i" off? Shocked tbh but different (left) strokes 👌

[@BankaiFever]

@@Muzikrazy213 “I” the album version is a little different from the lead single version. I had enough of the song before the album came out

[@jarrahkron9]

In Alright when your wife comments on the reused lyrics of "40 acres, a mule, a piano a guitar", that entire verse opening is almost word for word from the second verse of Wesley's theory... Only major lyric changed is in Wesley's theory it's "my name is uncle Sam, im your dawg, motherfucker you can live at the mall" where in Alright it's "my name is Lucy I'm your dog, motherfucker you cab live at the mall". This part of the album is when Kendrick starts getting more aware of the pressures of neoliberal America and the music industry, so this reveal is him relating neoliberal America to being unholy, and speaking for Lucifer etc.

[@user-yf9bh4zh9d]

She said Pharrel when Alright started. Man, you won!

[@ivanfernandezramirez2629]

I love how she looks at him when he is explaining stuff.

[@jigg0r114]

It's so nice seeing your wife be so open to new music. Really enjoyed the reaction! TPAB may not be my favorite Kendrick album but its definitely one if not his best album.

[@isaactorres1050]

it’s actually pretty sweet every time i watch these videos cause i find so pure the fact that you as a couple are able to share things that each other like and be open minded even when’s not the usual type of music you would enjoy, it really shows how close you are

[@anthonyv6962]

You two have quickly become my favorite reaction channel. I can't wait to hear what she thinks of this album, the production is so good. Thank you both for the entertaining content.

[@freeshipping7]

yeah!

[@IceKoldKilla]

Can't wait for a Mr Morale reaction

[@TheCre88tor]

17:38 - These Walls is almost a prequel for some of the self issues he addresses on Mr. Morale and the Big Steppers: his addiction of infidelity which almost cost him his own relationship

[@Colinkrauss1]

Great reaction here. Kendrick’s self-reflection is always masterful. And it’s always more interesting than the more mainstream content. All over this album are moments where Kendrick takes a lot of time to explain why he is the way he is, only to turn the story back around on himself. Momma: “I’m famous. I have everything. I know everything. I’m untouchable. Oh wait, when I came home, I realized nothing I just bragged about has any importance.” How much a dollar cost: “I got where I am alone, I don’t owe you anything. You can’t guilt me into helping you. Oh wait, this is the high power speaking to me, and I deserve to lose my spot in heaven because of how I just acted.” Blacker the Berry: “The entire system is pulling us down. It’s all their fault. We wouldn’t do this to eachother like they are. Oh wait, I was literally in the exact same position.”

[@--REGULAR--REGULAR]

Honestly one of the best albums ever made.

[@swagdude6220]

definitely should look back on section 80 it’s awesome seeing the foreshadowing to albums further down the line

[@MerakiAnton]

One of my fav albums of all time. Great video… loved it

[@GoliathWarfare]

Even the unreleased demos from this album ended up going on Untitled, Unmastered which became #1 on billboard US Top 200. That just let's you know how much Kendrick was in his bag during this album

[@YahBoiDevin]

phenomenal video and album truly

[@TheCre88tor]

32:37 - y'all missed the focus of "Momma" but it's because he didn't vocally say it in the song. It was mostly about him going to Africa for the first time, specifically Cape Town, South Africa. It's called Momma because of it's nickname for the Motherland of all civilization, especially black people. Some of the rest of the album songs stay in that subject like Complexion, The Blacker the Berry & Mortal Man.

[@f11.studios]

yeah we actually discussed it but we had to edit a lot out as the final video was around 3hrs long lol. thanks for watching ✌🏼

god i wish i had the pleasure of listening to this album for the first time again

[@EShum]

My first interaction with Kendrick's music was during a road trip with my family. My mom and siblings were in the car with my dad driving a moving truck, and I switched to riding in the truck with my old man halfway through. The first song I heard was these walls, which unfortunately turned me away from Kendrick because hearing that intro as a middle schooler is a lot to digest! Almost 5-6 years later I'd listen to this album in whole for the first time and it all came back to me. So lucky to learn about Kendrick through my dad first. Thank you both for uploading this reaction, seeing Molly hearing this masterpiece for the first time and fully appreciate the production is cathartic. I'd recommend giving the SNL version of "i" a listen if you haven't! I prefer it over the album version, but both are wonderful

[@franklinsoto2663]
