Something I don't see talked about enough regarding DNA.: The first half of the song is written almost entirely in Pentameter. That is, it's built of pairs of alternating stressed and unstressed syllables, and the lines themselves are composed mostly of 14-15 syllables eg: | I got | LOyal | TY got | ROyal | TY in | SIDE my | D n | A 1 2 | 3 4 | 5 6 | 7 8 | 9 10 | 11 12 | 13 14 | 15 | COca*ne | QUARter | PIECE, got | WAR and | PEACE in | SIDE my | D n | A 1 2 | 3 4 | 5 6 | 7 8 | 9 10 | 11 12 | 13 14 | 15 There are short snippets where he deviates from this. The second half isn't written this way, but it's so good it doesn't need to be.
@paigeseliger836
@paigeseliger836 4 ай бұрын
The second half isn't written that way because apparently, he was going so hard in the studio and the flow was flowing so well that he just went off without a beat when the track they had ready ended, doing as he pleased and trusting that the rest of it would be filled in beautifully later. So much talent, and faith in that talent

I don't usually watch reactions that are just someone experiencing a song/album (usually just watch for breakdowns/funny moments) but your appreciation for the art, open mindedness, and friendly demeanor makes for a very enjoyable watch. It's cool to see someone outside of the space/culture have a genuine take on the art as well. Earned a sub, can't wait for the next one!

So I think the blind lady in Blood is supposed to be lady justice, you can read into it further from there but yea. She’s supposed to be blind and she’s lost “something” when Kendrick tries to help she shoots him. I think this is an interesting way to think about it.

I'd recommend doing the 2 songs per video thing and finishing out Damn. Afterward, I'd jump back to "Good Kid, Maad City", then "To Pimp A Butterfly", then his most recent album "Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers". Many will probably say to do "Section.80" also (which came before Good Kid, but is kind of considered a mixtape according to Kendrick. Still worth a listen).

I love that youre doing the whole album in chronological order! I do however think that you should read the "about" section after listening to the song itself cause it may sometimes spoil the experience of hearing something for the first time. As long as you're paying attention to the songs you should get the general idea of a song, the about section is helpful for clearing up some confusion tho for sure, especially when it comes to Kendrick lmao

Really been enjoying these Kendrick reactions. It’s so clear that, while rap isn’t what you’re used to/familiar with, you’re approaching this with a genuine interest, open mindedness, and appreciation for quality of any genre. I may be in the minority here but I’ve always felt that To Pimp a Butterfly (TPAB) is Kendrick’s best album. He won the Pulitzer for DAMN but i personally think TPAB is even more well-written. But you really can’t go wrong with Kendrick’s music. Keep up the great work and looking forward to more!

I think people enjoy Damn because it has more hits and re-playable songs. TPAB is even more linear, and some songs are a better experience in context of the whole album only, but the writing I agree can be more appreciated on the surface, Damn is kind of complex even on the surface

He's talking about DNA beyond blackness and race. This topic becomes a bit more pronounced after his clash with Drake. Sorry bout to yap a little bit: I think Kendrick believes that art should express and deliver subjectivity, beyond just a commodity for entertainment. Kendrick is extremely political and "conscious", he speaks about structural injustice, racism, etc a lot. But even when he's preaching he does that by reflecting his personal experiences. This song is directed towards people like Drake, who cosplays the "black plight experience" to profit from it without even relating to it. Drake is black, but he grew up Jewish and affluent, he was even a child star. But he presents himself as the new Godfather of hip hop. He's telling them that they don't have the "DNA", the real experience to speak about these topics, so they should stop turning black culture into an empty commodity. J Cole is mixed. Hell, even Eminem is white. But they don't pretend to be something they're not. And they did not commodify the "black plight" to sell their albums, so Kendrick respect them. So this is beyond raciality. It's about artistic sincerety vs greed.

In reference to concept albums, Coheed and Cambria's entire discography except for the 2015 album 'The Color Before the Sun' is a concept album/story called The Amory Wars.

I just stumbled upon your channel because of the euphoria reaction. And I’m so happy to see you start your hip hop journey Bit of advice from seeing a lot of other channels. Is it’s fine to look at what genius has to say about the song for now, once it becomes easier for you to understand the lyrics and pick up on the play on words I suggest you stop as to not let your thought be clouded by any preconceived notions. I’m so excited for this journey definitely subscribed I can’t wait for more. It’s an amazing journey, I can’t wait till you react to the rest of the beef, anything from GKMC and especially anything from TPAB. I’m calling it rn, you’re going to have 10 times the subscribers by the end of the year, def hit a god mine with this one. And also you’re openness to new music is great. I don’t get a snobby vibe as if rap is below you as I’ve seen other channels do, you seem nice, eager, and passionate and that’s the recipe for success in this game

If you like albums that tell a story you’ll love Good Kid, M.A.A.D. City, it’s damn near cinematic. Imo it’s his second best album: To Pimp a Butterfly being number 1, DAMN number 3. Mr. Morale and the Big Steppers isn’t in that conversation for me, not because it doesn’t deserve to be, but because it’s so astonishingly personal that it doesn’t make sense to rank it

You shouldn't worry about the literal specifics, especially in the videos. They're more of mood pieces than a step by step story. Damn as an album functions this way, as does TPaB. You're meant to follow the progression of feelings through situations in life rather than a retelling of a story.

In the context of the album's ethos, it's best to glean the meaning and intent of the song from the music itself (like through Spotify or Apple Music or whatever other streaming platform you fancy) and not the music videos, which often serve as separate art pieces that can muddy the waters and differ from the song's vantage within its place in the album, not to mention how they play with the audio quality and pacing of the music (this makes a BIG difference). Honestly, I think it's very rare that the music videos for Kendrick's songs enhance the listening experience for me. They also inadvertently distract us from the intensity of the music itself, which I believe you experienced, but that others can notice too if you listen to the music video and then pull up the song on Spotify, but that's just my personal opinion lol. When you listen to only the album on Spotify, some of his songs lead directly into one another, which is an effect you can't get when you watch the music videos. Regardless, have fun! Love that you're making this a series! Kendrick's "good kid, m.A.A.d city" album is almost exactly what you're describing in terms of an album that tells a story, even more explicity than DAMN does. It even says so on the cover of the album "good kid mAAd city: A Short Film by Kendrick Lamar". DAMN is more ephemeral in my opinion.

If you listen to Damn (deluxe version) beginning to end it’s one type of story and if you listen to it from end to beginning it turns into a different story. In reverse is essentially a narrative describing what happens to Kendrick had Top Dog shot down Ducky (his dad) at the end of Duckworth. Duckworth sets the stage and tells the story of Anthony (Top Dawg) and Ducky and you get a tease forshadowing what happens to Kendrick because of it with the gunshot sound and the teaser for BLOOD. Also Good Kid M.a.a.d City is one of his best albums

Good kid mad city by kenddrick lamar is a cd that tells a story from beginning to end. Same as To pimp a butterfly, but that album is deep, it's better to start w good kid to prepare yourself for to pimp a butterfly

After you finish this album, I recommend listening to Good Kid, Maad City or To Pimp a Butterfly next. Those two are unarguably his greatest albums and they tell a great story when listening to them in order. If you watched either one of those, you’d get a ton of views.

I love your reactions! Kendrick has been my fave since early 2000s so i appreciate what your doing. You've definitely earned a sub! If you want another song Cartoons and Cereal is another good listen. Thats more early Kendrick and of course sing about me is another great one

If you like albums with a theme…. Listen to To Pimp a Butterfly. All the way through. In order. It’s probably my favorite album from any artist of all time. And rap isn’t my favorite genre. It’s extremely good. I’ve even seen reactions to the album where people end up in tears at the end

Any kendrick would be a godsend. I think Saba is another rapper on a similar pedigree to Kendrick but doesnt get quite as much attention. I''d say a good first song for him is Ziplock / Rich Don't Stop Also totally unrelated but I am curious what those books are on your shelf! Hard to make them out but the spines seem like Fantasy books!

DON'T read the About section before you listen to the final track DUCKWORTH. You'd ruin it for yourself that way. 🫡 I thought you might start with Good Kid MAAD City, but maybe checking out the most (many people say altho personally I find it his most difficult to digest sonically lol) Commercially accessible album is a good choice. After this I'd def do GKMC, TPAB (they're his & the whole genres' classics) and then the newest, MMATBS in that order. 👌 Have funnnnnn I'll be tuning in for everything :)

Lmao let him get on the surface level stuff first (kendrick def ain't shallow), let him ease in to it. I'd say: 1. Damn 2. GKMC 3. Section .80 4. Mr. Morale 5. TPAB 6. Untitled This is not from worst to best, this is if you are a new person trying to get in to Kendrick. Feel free to disagree

@@neilz. Kendricks Discographie is so introspective, I personally feel listening the albums in the order of release is best. So: 1. Section 80 2. GKMC 3. TBAB 4. Damn 5. Untilted 6. Mr. Morale Respect your order too tho, and also yeah don't go To Pimp A Butterfly right at the top. 😅
