As a 60 yr young African American man, I just wanted to let you know that I really appreciate you, because I believe you really appreciate black culture and what we've gone through by the way you react to black artists. Your comment that "We all have African DNA" was so profound and true. Thank you. 💯😎

This album needs to be in a museum fr. This is what he should have won the Pulizer for.

[@wheatthicks]

I guarantee that if it weren’t for TPAB, DAMN wouldn’t have won a Pulitzer.

[@chichi.phil413]

Yeah during the TPAB era they weren’t open to non classical or jazz but I think they said TPAB was part of the reason he got the attention of the voting body. He was consistent with Damn hence the prize

[@AbsurdCats]

I agree. ❤ a million percent.

​@@KnoxHillThis entire album is like this. Timeless poetry. ✨

[@Pandacalibur]

I think "I am a proud monkey" is a clever bar in the sense of taking ammunition from oppositions and leaving them no choice but to listen to what he is adressing. Such a clever way to say stfu and listen.

[@JoeyDecay]

I'm white, but growing up, my dad would always say to us, "Get yr monkey ass over here." I never seen it as a racist thing. But I do know now that people have used it that way.

I have an extremely similar background and story as Kendrick and I know for a fact that nobody really knows what he means in his art but him. He leaves it without context or explanation and up for interpretation. You are really intelligent and this video was done amazingly.

Wait, have you never heard the album this song is on? To Pimp A Butterfly by Kendrick Lamar is one of the greatest albums in hip hop history IMO, highly recommend, I think you’ll love it.

This song and this whole album is exceptional

[@williamsummerson1204]

Nobody does it better than Knox. Some of us got to listen to How to pimp a butterfly in the studio when kendrick got finished recording it, I said it then and I'll say it again this album is a masterpiece. Our city couldn't be more proud of the man and artist that he's become. 💪

Man that ending is like a gut punch and then the instrumental after, this whole album is just so amazing it makes me wanna cry

[@shaspearman8647]

You can always tell Knox loves doing this and it's amazing! He is a great reactor, and even better at breaking down lyrics!

[@SpiderJAAM]

My favorite Kendrick song next to m.A.A.d City. The anger and fury in Kendrick's voice and the message of hypocrisy is just perfect.

[@AnalyzeThat93]

Whew. Feeling ALL of this song today.

[@snows12152]

It’s so refreshing to watch this channel and to see someone with a genuine appreciation and knowledge of music, keep up the amazing work man

[@KeenanSuber]

My man Knox! I truly appreciate your break down of all these bars! I just started watching reactions this year. For my opinion’s worth, I find that a lot of reactors react to how dope or venomous the bars are and I can appreciate that because I can feel it too most of the time. Others give break downs but they are so boring or have too many unnecessary filler moments. In your reactions, I stay engaged and LEARNNNN more insight into the artist’s head and I get those “ahhh, that’s what he/she meant” moments. You also appreciate the dope venomous bars too, so you really give the all around experience! And finally, this break down is special to me as this is my favorite Dot song. Appreciate you brother, keep it up!

[@hartbydesigns6612]

^Yes!

[@brandyborder-rodriguez9254]

I love how he even explains the rhyme schemes and breaks down the musicality and on videos the visual artistry as well. He is the reactor I watch most of all.

[@KeenanSuber]

⁠​⁠@@brandyborder-rodriguez9254 Yes! 100% true, and when he recognizes certain inflictions and the significance of them! music, all genres, has been my escape all my life but with Knox, in a good way, I realize I don’t understand as much as I thought 😊.

[@gabrielhardin5243]

I love the engagement with a controversial song like this. Kendrick is an amazing writer, and art should reflect the times and honest perception of its creator. What’s important is that we engage with content that challenges us and help us see reality as it is. Not how we want to see it

[@theyonlycomeoutwhenitsquiet]

When I first heard this song I hadn’t been really introduced to rap as a genre and I didn’t know there were racial divides in America (white, but raised out of NA). This song has been a piece of art I kept coming back to. The more I learn about Kendrick, racial tension history, despair, double standards, and politics, the more relevant this song has become. The song has aged well, but only because we haven’t. As people. It’s like Rage Against the Machine that way. The only reason it feels relevant is that we won’t learn

[@miguelfmyers]

My favorite kendrick lamar song feel like this song he talking directly to america like as if its a person “you made me” . Hits different in the morning time, most kendrick songs hit hard in the morning tbh

[@marche800]

Theres also the double of "Vandalizing my Perception" they aren't just making him look bad. They're making him look at himself in a negative light by vandalizing it. But in spite of vandalizing it, painting over it they can't take the style that's underneath that vandalism. The spray paint and the hate speech can be washed off, his foundation is still going to be there st the end of the day.

Hey Knox! Thx 4 chiming in. This is your first Reaction to TBTB from TBAB? Many classics on TBAB. TBTB is one of them. 🙂His 2016 Grammy performance of the song is also astounding and classic. 7:57 During a new moon, the moon appears black because the moon's dark side faces Earth. This happens when the moon passes through the same part of the sky as the sun.

[@7472wayne]

It would be sick if someone comes with an album called ‘Whips and Chains’ and the album cover was a dichotomy of slavery and perceived wealth through whips and chains. An effective cover could split the image: one side could portray the harsh, historical imagery tied to oppression, such as broken chains or shackles in a dark, minimalist style, while the other could showcase sleek, modern representations like luxury cars and jewellery. The contrast could highlight how certain symbols have shifted or been reclaimed, opening up a powerful commentary on history, consumerism, and identity.

Great breakdown, I'm impressed ✊🏾 K Dot fans stand up 👇🏾

Yo Knox, I created this rap but idk if you got a chance to read it yesterday, so I am reposting it. Knox Hill just uploaded, come watch with me bro He said his mom had cancer and just finished her chemo Next up is surgery and radiotherapy Don't worry, Knox, the pain is all temporary Keep appreciating time, you can never put a price tag On the memories you create, happy or sad Even when you think you're going through a bad time, Just remember you'll look back at it with a smile. (this is the first 8 bars I ever made, don't flame me if its bad lol) I just wanna say, I will pray for your mom for her treatment and for your family too. Can't imagine what everyone is going through right now, but the important thing is to just know that this just a bad phase of life, and it will pass. Nothing lasts forever. Just stay strong man, you'll get through this. 🤝

In a time when I have unsubbed from creators who comment on the black experience in ways that are problematic, stereotypical and prejudicial, there is you. I’m cautious and optimistic. I keep my sub here and my views here because not only do you approach what you understand in a learned way, but you don’t SHY AWAY from the conversations that need to be had. I’m not saying your theories or ideas are always right, I’m saying you don’t assume the worst in us and that’s the bar still in 2024.

I think that the lines about the penitentiary being the only place that will hire him could go even deeper and be a comment on how slavery is still perpetuated to this day through the overpolicing of black areas because the Emancipation Proclamation said that slavery was abolished EXCEPT as punishment for a crime, so the prison system is a perpetuation of the system of slavery in America and he's critiquing that
