The Hidden Meaning of Kendrick Lamar's "Gloria" (Song Analysis)

[@drxzi1]

MUSTAAAAAAAAARD

[@Dragon-hu3bi]

9.87/10 video, needs more mustard

[@letsmakeapawno]

The title: Gloria is a Guilloche pen model from Laban, a Taiwanese pen-maker known for its quality. Depending on the pen type, these can go for around $250 and are only sold in red and blue (most definitely a reference to Bloods and Crips). I absolutely love these Easter eggs since they are a testament to Kendrick's dedication to his work.

[@jiyoungchoi6732]

damn bro thats sick.. i never would've connected it to bloods and crips

[@itsrealthefi]

I wouldn't ever thought that this song is so damn deep. Thanks for this analysis fr. I'd love to see here nother songs on gnx 'cause I know that there's also hidden meaning to them but I'm just too dumb to figure them out on my own. You're doing great job bud! You just earned a sub!

[@drxzi1]

Lmao just wait for reincarnated I haven’t even fully figured that song out yet

[@itsrealthefi]

@@drxzi1 Holy, I'm waiting then.

[@---pd3dg]

[@GNX.listener]

[@drxzi1]

Thank you so much I hope you choose to stick around :)

[@gabo_sage]

[@raresics]

[@sivuyilekingvura6440]

Amazing breakdown 👏🏾

[@drxzi1]

thank you so much!

[@Dragon-hu3bi]

ok I just watched the video, keep up the good work, I really enjoyed watching it.

[@mayagoodwin6609]

I am a lover of all things stationary. I love notebooks, and I collect pens. 10:25 “Gloria” is also the name of an actual pen that Kendrick May or may not use, that only comes in two colors. Guess which colors?….. 😉

[@johnkennethyumul3054]

Red and blue I guess??😂

[@mayagoodwin6609]

@@johnkennethyumul3054 Bingo!..😂

[@davidcarpenter1373]

"body" of a paragraph

[@x_xmsv]

Broo u deserve much more fame keep up the good work fam 💯

[@drxzi1]

Thanks 🙏

[@rafaelordaz1104]

MIGHT I ADD SOMETHING ... when Kendrick mentions "kiss you in the back of class just to get a buzz with you" In middle school/highschool we would take apart pens to sneak a toke in the back of class catch a buzz. The common term for hitting a pipe is kissing the pipe. I just had to add it in there. I was stoned when it clicked

[@xxojesus]

another amazing video!!! your breakdowns are really on another level man

[@drxzi1]

Thanks ❤️❤️

[@salinyeth8595]

Sza verse when she says “gloria, i wanna take to to euphoria”. That’s a bar, if you know you know

[@furbycurby]

Great analysis and very early too!

[@drxzi1]

Yes I locked in for this one

[@aribs1709]

W vids

[@GIADALAZ]

Great video! You should analyze how Kendrick is massively influenced by the rap goat yuno miles next!

[@drxzi1]

Yeah he's definitely got some influence from him, it's hard not to when he's the GOAT 😂 (this is youtube’s autogenerated response)

[@iampadrino]

I think they also call the pen Gloria because there’s an actual pen called GLORIA that sells for like $200

[@keybored4819]

I don’t think it has anything to do with Whitney, which he clarifies in last line

[@MrDomino954]

Also is a brand of luxury Pen. Another double.

[@EditsbyM]

You missed one! "led" = "lead", like in a pencil. Which I know isn't actually lead but ykno.

[@drxzi1]

Good catch!

[@Treveyyyy]

Do the song count me out please

[@drxzi1]

On my list!

[@nequanperry2013]

Btw there’s is a actual pen named Gloria

[@joaquinpipinich2042]

bro Drake's new tour is called "Anita Max Win"

[@drxzi1]

that’s interesting

[@frankwest4057]

Only thing I’m disagreeing with is you talking about the “body he caught” pretty sure he’s mentioned before about having to take a life and being deeply disheartened by it in older lyrics could definitely be wrong as well I just remember him talking about it and saying oh you thought Kenny wasn’t with it or something of that sort

[@drxzi1]

no you're right that is spot on and honestly im surprised i didn't think of that

[@grymeyworld]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/eXO6dXqAjqZ3adUsi=AZSr2vXFkeNtjDs7 Nobody is mentioning the call back to this song 👆

[@KingJames951.]

FIRE VIDEO BUT NOT GONNA LIE BRO YOU HAVE TO TAKE OUT THAT OUTRO MUSIC THEM FOLKS WILL TAKE YOUR WHOLE PAGE HOSTAGE 🤣🤣

[@drxzi1]

lmao thanks i passed the copyright checks so they would have to manually review and get to the outro which i don't think would happen but i should probably be more careful

[@trustingod0]

It’s way deeper than what this dude is saying

[@Green____T]

Volume is ass

[@drxzi1]

?

[@bluecommand]

I thoguht it was obvious that it's a metaphor for his relationship with music

[@alejandroguerra9413]

Duh.Tupac already did this, me ad my girfriend
