[@maxsunusannus4989]

Here after new Kendrick, and I kind of think the theory still stands. The new Kendrick album isn’t disappointing by any means, but it is such a curveball in his catalogue compared to his earlier work. No crazy concept or story, no quadruple entendres, just pure west coast rap, which is really unique for him. Similarly, as Radiohead always does, instead of just making “In Rainbows 2”, Radiohead sought out to make something new again. An album with a lot of sampling and mixing, a new route of crating music Radiohead hadn’t explored yet. And although nowadays King of Limbs isn’t the most fond Radiohead albums from fans and critics, and it’s hard to gauge how the public will respond to GNX, I do think the albums are pretty similar. At least in the lens that if any Kendrick album was the closest to King of Limbs, it’d be GNX.

[@johnlindsay7301]

I saw Radiohead perform live in 03 and for the encore they played Everything in its Right Place which blew my mind. And oddly enough for an electronic track the way they used free form jazz to finish the song out, going crazy for a good 10 minutes with these odd computer instruments was one of the most amazing displays of musical expression I’ve ever seen. I’ll never forget it and I wish every Radiohead fan could witness it. Fortunately they have a live version of the song on their Everything In Its Right Place (live) album. You can hear them jamming out to the track for the last half of the song. So awesome.

[@charleswhite9242]

Right? I’m intrigued by the idea. I could imagine an artist like Kendrick sampling Lotus Flower or Feral. Those songs in particular would translate well to hip hop. Also, I don’t like how TKOL is written off by some fans. It’s not my favorite RH album, but I still love it, especially the live versions of each song.

[@dodew1066]

Drum loops and more electronic maybe

[@jovanreid6782]

Huge fan of both Kendrick Lamar and Radiohead, and I couldn't be more stoked that someone's finally having this conversation and comparing these artists and the parallels of their bodies of works; upon first listen, "United in Grief" gave me major Radiohead vibes as well. Never heard of your channel before this video or seen any of your other ones, but on the strength of the subject matter of this one alone, you've got yourself a sub! (BTW, In Rainbows is also my favorite Radiohead album of all time---which is why I guess it only makes perfect sense why Mr. Morale and The Big Steppers would be my personal favorite Kendrick Lamar album of all time, too.)

[@--REGULAR--REGULAR]

Its crazy but this theory makes more sense than not. The sound of the albums or direction they took and where they were at during the time in their respective careers are eerily similar and kind of cool. The Bends and Section 80 so happen to be both of my favorites from each of their catalogs to this day. Honey Pablo = Overly Dedicated The Bends = Section 80 Ok Computer = Good Kid, Maad City Kid A = To Pimp A Butterfly Amnesiac = Untitled Unmastered Hail to the Thief = Damn. In Rainbows = Mr. Morale and the Big Steppers

I hate that it’s RARELY discussed how DAMN. is a double album - when the tracks are played from last to first, the second album is NATION., going from salvation to DAMNATION, the exact opposite of DAMN. There was a WHOLE LOTTA HYPE surrounding this idea that Kendrick was going to release two albums back when DAMN. was released, and I remember so many people being disappointed - but he literally did. DEFinitely a reason why he won a Pulitzer. The man is a genius.

I feel like the matrix made thus video for me

[@sebastianreilly6197]

mother i sober and reckoner together made me tear up i was not expecting that

[@simplyrav]

Personally I consider A moon shaped pool to be Radiohead's Mr Morale. They're both underrated songs that you can tell have a very personal meaning to them, they're largely unlike both artists' previous works, and they both contain a lot of the artists' respective histories in some way. They're also both albums I honestly wouldn't mind being the last in their discographies. AMSP is that kind of album I feel it takes a different kind of Radiohead fan to appreciate. It feels more like an ode to their history, featuring finalized versions of some of their oldest demos and finishing off with true love waits, the song that's been with radiohead their entire career pretty much. It genuinely feels like a final goodbye from the band and has some of the most heartfelt moments of all their albums. It's why it's personally my favorite album from Radiohead. As for Mr Morale, it doesn't feel nearly as much like a closure album, but it matches some of the heartfelt and personal beats. Of course, this would break the linear continuity of the parallelism of their careers but I think if we're talking about what fits best, I'd say it's these two albums over Mr Morale and In Rainbows.

[@RobCortez0416]

How Much A Dollar Costs has a lot of Radiohead influence on it. And as far as Pablo Honey, Anyone Can Play Guitar is probably the most underrated Radiohead song.

[@phillemon7664]

It's definitely a Kid A era or Amnesiac era song with it's lyrical content having that spiritual and profound nature that eludes you somehow on your first 100 listens back when you were an angry teenager

[@Trashious12345]

I've seen them as similar in a lot of ways but not from what you laid out. I largely saw them as similar because I think they both had cracked the code on popular music, but also aren't the least bit worried about having a popular song. I'm sure you know how Radiohead feel about the song creep. I feel like Kendrick was the same about popular music. He could make a number 1 song in 30 min. But as an artist, doesn't so much care about that. I think that's why Not Like Us was so big. (Sorry to touch on the beef for a moment) In NLU Kendrick was showing how easy it is for him to do what Drake does on a regular basis. NLU came out maybe 13 hours after Family Matters, with responses to what was said in Family Matters. I think K. Dot made NLU to prove to Drake that you have the number 1's because you aren't pushing boundaries, not because you're the chosen one. That was my read, anyways. I just don't think either RH or KL are interested in being very popular, rather pushing art forward and being as honest with themselves as possible and being interested, not so much loved by all, but understood by enough people to survive and evolve. There is authenticity in that.

Great video! Are you a fan of Flying Lotus? He and Thom are best friends and have worked together… I think you can hear a bit of this kind of mashup coolness when they do tracks together, I wish they would do more and I think Thom could do lots of excellent work with several unique hiphop people like Kendrick Lamar. Flying Lotus is kind of a mashup all by himself, of course, total freak! Here’s something you’ll like as a huge Radiohead fan… I was at South By Southwest in Austin when Radiohead headlined in 2016… Flying Lotus was on before Radiohead… it was Thom Yorke and Flying Lotus’ birthday… everyone sang happy birthday to Flying Lotus and he told everyone to sing happy birthday to Thom when Radiohead was on. He said Radiohead was his favorite band of all time. He was getting REALLY drunk onstage, drinking tequila out of the bottle…it was so funny… he said “I’m gettin drunk cause it’s my birthday… and someone promised me a hit of acid… Thom wants to get drunk too but he’s a professional… “. 😂 At one point Thundercat came out, he didn’t play, just talked in Flying Lotus’s ear for a few minutes. RZA had played earlier in the lineup, his band with the guy from Interpol … and Flying Lotus said that after the show they were having a birthday party with RZA as DJ, and that’s when Thom was gonna get drunk. So funny!! And my god, to be a fly on the wall at that party! We did all sing happy birthday to Thom after Radiohead had played their first couple songs … it was great, he was embarrassed 😀 , someone has it on KZbin somewhere. Anyway, great video! Cheers!

Kinda strange to see this vid n remember a comparison I came across years ago, which wasn't mentioned. Never considered any correlation between the two til seeing this vid, purely circumstantial, but have been a big fan of both artists across my life, was jamming both at the same time. Anyway, in "Videotape" on In Rainbows the melody exists in the pockets between beats. It's not on beat. There are other vids that talk about this n why it was such a hard song to perform live. The song "Love" off of Damn is the same way. If you try to sing/rap along with it, you'll notice that the vocal parts are also in the pockets between beats. Both start in the empty space, n do so neatly. That's it, that's all I've got to contribute. Thanks for the reminder n interesting provocation. Honestly didn't think the examples of mashups worked too well, but that's just a speculation, I get their purpose here.
