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.
@paigeseliger8364 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.

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).

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!
@A85ramos4 ай бұрын
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.

Thanks for the comment and insight! I see what you are saying and it makes a lot of sense. I completely understand why he says that about Drake. Since I'm fairly new to rap and haven't listened to almost any Drake, I still remember him as that kid that got shot in Degrassi lol.

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.

You should listen to Good Kid, MAAD City or To Pimp a Butterfly if you want a story album. 2 of the very best.

Imma keep this short. I respect you. Im giving you a Sub because at 16:00, you figured out the rhyme schymes, which shows me you actually are hearing him and not only listening, Saulte to you, my friend. Idk if you still want song recommendations for kdot, but if you are, please listen to "Keisha Song."

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. 😅

Albums that tell stories I'd check out the 1st 3 Coheed and Cambria albums and The Mars Volta's Deloused in a Comatorium
