[@rainkid8807]

Hey guys I would love for you to react to Kendrick Lamar’s new song ‘The Heart Part 5’ now you can experience his music and where he is real time and how his music only gets better

[@xulq]

imagine these 2 reacting to the whole to pimp a butterfly album, theyd be mind blown

[@usrnam8795]

we really need to recommend them more kendrick songs tbh

[@TwoOldDudes]

That's actually going to be our first album reaction on Patreon.

This reaction will be a classic episode

[@CALCIUM17]

Kendrick Lamar's To Pimp a Butterfly album really is a masterpiece but it's probably best listened to in it's entirety, at least for the first listen

[@EvanBlack11]

They should do a album review

[@seansilveiro2463]

The contrast and development between "u" and "i" is crazy

[@jbtreee4047]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/gGSciZSgo9V5jJo it’s music btw

[@cfoley1014]

Guys, that was Ron Isley in the video, and there was also cameo by George Clinton. The Isley brothers wrote this with Kendrick and instead of sampling they re-recorded which is so cool. It won 2 Grammys. You should check out Anderson .Paak’s “Tints” featuring Kendrick. They are friends ( also w Thundercat ) and have great chemistry. ✌🏻

[@ryankennon8164]

You guys should give Dang by Mac Miller and Anderson Paak a try since y’all liked the jazzy beat on this song

[@blueknightcraze6766]

Soulmate on that same album and ladders from swimming have somewhat that same sound. Funk/jazz

[@robinvolpi]

Jazz has been integrated into Hip Hop since its early inception. Became a bit more rare throughout the years but there's still plenty to pull from.

Mac miller is overrated

[@itscomplicated11]

@@deanpeanuts5112 You have time to delete your comment.

[@frantzaudige2623]

I really appreciate when you guys recognize samples in modern songs. Makes me wanna do homework and check it out. Been diving more into Isley Bros music this past year. Such a sonic gem

[@cfoley1014]

That actually wasn’t a sample! The Isley Brothers helped write the song and re-recorded their old song for it.

[@jbtreee4047]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/gGSciZSgo9V5jJo it’s music btw

[@aceospades7]

@@cfoley1014 it was an interpolation. They replayed the original just like they did on The Heart Part 5

[@brettellier]

you guys should also listen to "u" by kendrick, very deep and introspective track with some crazy production on it

[@user-ic6nm4ol4r]

Lol after two uplifting tracks this one would be a shocker to them

[@saadasif]

Yesss

[@jbtreee4047]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/gGSciZSgo9V5jJo it’s music btw

[@frantzaudige2623]

I was really hoping you guys caught the Ron Isley cameo towards the end. The swagged out gentleman next to the car while while Kendrick is dancing in the bass breakdown... and While we're on the topic of Isley check out Alex Isley. She's the daughter of Earnest Isley. Wonderful music.

[@theboy5462]

alex isley is amazing!

[@kyriesampson7781]

And George Clinton was in the beginning reading his own book

[@jbtreee4047]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/gGSciZSgo9V5jJo it’s music btw

[@Kima-e1b]

I’m pretty sure the bassist is “Thundercat” he would be a good one to check out. He makes a bass talk as some would say

[@jaybee2714]

Funny he knew right away the sample from the Isley brothers. But he didn't recognize the driver in the video was lead singer Ron Isley

[@miguelacosta5446]

Awesome reaction

[@Israel._3x]

God is Gantsta is gone make you guys cry!!

[@karekarebonito3684]

"u" by Kendrick is a must before this song, but anyways it's a good reaction tho.

[@piepiemanman]

Would definitely recommend some Thundercat, while I like kendricks discography, To Pimp A Butterfly's jazzy and funk sounds stand above all the others still. These are large in part to thundercat's production on a majority of the songs on the album, and while I don't know for certain, those funky bass chords at the end sound like classic thundercat

[@solstice3525]

These Walls by Kendrick Lamar should be next, its from the same album To Pimp A Butterfly similar to "i" and "Alright"

[@cordaroharris9102]

Amazing humility! Thank You Brothers ✊🏾

[@Mr12Northside]

Kendrick Lamar -U

[@hippityhoppity5823]

What's great is that this song is a single, when the album came out the song i was turned into a more raw live feeling version that gets interrupted towards the end by the mob he's preforming for, he then goes on to give a speech and an acapella. Kendricks music is very artistic to me

[@saikojoji4079]

since you guys have reacted to i, u should be next on the list! very powerful juxtaposition to the positivity of this song. the music video of "u" is titled god is gangsta

[@mila21pila]

I’m so glad you immediately recognized the Isley Brothers sample!

[@kristilouque8412]

A telling fact is that he is one of the only rappers to ever win a Pulitzer Prize. Pretty impressive.

[@Infamouscritter]

Happy to find this channel

[@TwoOldDudes]

Thanks for finding us!

[@robinvolpi]

Spot on about The Isley Brothers.... you, however, missed that Mr. Ron Isley was the gentleman standing next to the car near the videos end. ;) 😎

[@robinvolpi]

Also, I enjoy your reactions. ;) Cheers...

[@DDPK]

Kendrick Lamar is a legend Im so glad you guys are watching this.

[@aGumball]

bro I love this song. ever since it first dropped it always made my day a whole lot better

[@R30-o2x]

Please bring more kendrick reactions , just watched the kendrick lamar -alright reaction and just finished this one love the way you guys actually pay attention not just to the lyrics but the videos as well

[@FortheLoveofMonsters]

The guy standing by the car at the end is one of the Isley Brothers!! Did you guys catch it?? Love that he included the guy he sampled from.

[@PhreshBueller]

You guys are doing great work. It not only means a lot and shows respect to the people who enjoy these different genres, it also sets an example for people who maybe prejudice towards another genre. This is how we learn about each other, and appreciate our similarities and differences as well. Again, great work guys!

[@TwoOldDudes]

Thanks Phresh!

[@Rexicity]

Anyone recognized Roland Isley in the video? He was driving the car Kendrick was in.

[@TwoOldDudes]

Oh man that's crazy! Thanks for pointing it out.

[@ryukenchi]

you guys should listen to "how much a dollar cost" from kendrick :)

[@EvanBlack11]

Childish Gambino "This is America"

[@TwoOldDudes]

We love that video, which means we can't react cuz we've seen it. But definitely one of the best videos ever!

[@BeastingBoli]

Great reaction guys :) Because you enjoy his jazz fusion and lyrical ability so much I really recommend yall to listen to To Pimp A Butterfly in its entirety. It's got both this song and Alright on there, and the context of the album adds a ton to understanding the extra layers of these tracks. I know the channel is just meant for singles n videos, so dont worry keep it that way. But please do listen to the album in your own time! One of the best albums in music (let alone hip hop) history. It's a visceral concept album with a great story line and stunning orchestration that can only blow you away. Makes me emotional every time I decide to put it on. Anyways, great job w the channel. The openness of you guys' approach to contemporary music is great to see and highly appreciated, keep it going!

[@Shyhispanicmale]

You should listen to the album version of this song (To Pimp A Butterfly is the name of the album) which is a Live version plus it has a little something extra at the end like a dialogue of Kendrick talking to the audience.

[@Chiodi4real]

Thanks for the referencing the Isley Brothers “That Lady”, it helped. I maybe maybe wrong, but I think the Isley Brothers where featured in the video. Great work, Guys.

[@1974sidnei]

Yes he was in the video

[@idrissmerahi4040]

He's widely considered to be the best of his generation and I don't disagree! Always delivering necessary messages, but never in a ham fisted or preachy way. Not to mention the incredible artistry and lyrical ability. One of the best to do it

[@Noskiprod]

Live version of this is far better in my opinion

[@futurekdb17]

hey guys, discovered your channel yesterday w the tyler the creator reaction and watched most of the videos since then, and after watching the kendrick one i wondered what would be the another great song by him for u to react and "i" just popped in my mind, and past one day here we are. loving the content, keep it up! much love from brazil.

[@TwoOldDudes]

Thank you Luis!

[@jenniferguirado4827]

Amazing reaction

[@everyoone]

You guys should check out the whole album To Pimp A Butterfly, its truly one of the best albums in history

[@darkknightcars7951]

Logic Under Pressure video is really good! It’s the shorter version of the song but really unique and I think you guys would like it!

[@brojob5102]

You guys gotta listen to his albums in long form videos. That’s how Kendrick’s work is best enjoyed imo

[@oviiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii]

omg they should also react to the live version on SNL

[@bestyoueverhad.2408]

Huge fan of your channel you two old geezers 😅

[@Thashining]

React to "If these Walls Could Talk" by Kendrick Lamar

yay

Whooooooooooooooooooooos That Lady young brotha!!

Aw yeah!

[@BlackRain469]

For those that did not catch the special appearance, that is Ronald Isley of The Isley Brother that picks Kendrick Lamar up in the Caddy towards the end.

[@YoMommaHouse.]

You guys need to add the closed caption to the videos to understand what he is truly saying

[@999petterson4]

I love reaction , i love kendrick 🤴🏾👑

[@hermanturfle]

love these videos!

[@TwoOldDudes]

Thanks Nathan.

[@kristilouque8412]

You must see him do this live on SNL!

[@sethp26]

my goat

[@blertstain]

I think once you guys have run through a lot of the current artists of today, I would like to see your reactions to the kind of artists and groups that influenced the likes of Kendrick. I'm thinking A Tribe Called Quest, The Pharcyde, Souls of Mischief, Outkast etc. I'm enjoying your stuff, gents.

[@liandremarcoricafort6606]

My favorite artist, great review🍺

[@alanguerrero2002]

Please listen to "sing about me, I'm dying of thirst" by Kendrick you won't regret

[@mangochutney84]

One of my fav Kendrick songs, another one of my favorites is PRIDE, def recommend if want to check out more Kendrick

[@colskizz6504]

Humble? You got to do humble! They would love that

[@JayDeadie]

Crooked Smile by J. Cole has one of the best music videos I've seen, definitely recommend it! Great videos guys

[@edisezam7535]

you have to make a super video of the entire TPAB album. its a mind blowing experience and it changed my life

[@wholelottateo]

God is gangsta video by Kendrick would be amazing

[@EvanBlack11]

Kendrick Lamar "These Walls" if you want a lighter song from him

[@Moonjulyyy]

Reaction “Smokin out the window “ pls

[@TwoOldDudes]

Great song! We have our reaction to it up on our Patreon.

[@danielj3752]

Love you guys!!!!

Thanks Daniel! Glad you're watching.

[@one.shavn.michael4702]

fyi, Ronald Isely is driving the car in the video and also singing background vocals on the song itself.

[@rowdysargent9690]

We should have them react to "U" now lol

[@ebbykayyc8442]

The album version of this song is my favorite a different song but soooooo good

[@taylorrobinson678]

Honestly listening to one off song of Kendrick doesn't do him justice. He does nothint but concept albums where all the songs are just pieces in a over all message and how he structure his albums it just paints a vivid story

[@TwoOldDudes]

We just finished reacting to "To Pimp A Butterfly" album (on our Patreon) so that definitely rings true. Thanks for watching!

[@Dophlamingo_Cat]

Anyone notice the Dark knight reference when Kendrick was riding in the car , The GOAT paying respect to the GOAT Heath Ledger

[@reemthememe]

SUGAR by BROCKHAMPTON is definitely one to listen to!

[@PaulVRo]

Yo guys.. here me out.. react to Covet Falkor or Yvette Young something from her.. it's her band anyway. Time for some really cool amazing and artful rock my dudes.

[@Jul_K]

If you guys really love the bass on this song, you should check out Thundercat. He did all the bass on this album

[@SkyFlier]

please do more kendrick!

[@miguelcampusano4402]

For some early kendrick, listen to Hiiipower

[@wakaman94]

A great song that just puts you in the right vibes as well is dots & lines by lupe fiasco.

[@Blade383210]

I wish you did the album version but he single version is still a good song. I don't know our its a live performance or if he made it sound like a live performance in the studio but it has an amazing extra verse that's just absolutely amazing

[@Angelko1]

NF - Remember this , Joyner Lucas - Happy Birthday would be cool !!!!!!

[@rockylikm]

Mac Miller ft. Ariana Grande- My Favorite Part. Beautiful song in a beautiful album. The 2 were a couple at the time of the songs release

[@Shuffffff]

If you listened to the TPAB album in full "i" would hit harder

[@blueyoda4385]

If neither of you have epilepsy, then check out DNA or Humble both by Kendrick. Both have videos.

[@GucciGoblins]

M.A.A.D. City is next Kendrick song 🙏

[@kingkb54]

Just in case if you don't know when Kendrick says Lucy he's referring to Lucifer

[@joethompson6260]

Another UPLIFTING song by Kendrick is Untiled 08

[@blueyoda4385]

Great reactions! You should check out u by Kendrick Lamar. There's no video, but it comes right before Alright on the album and it makes the songs that much more impactful.

[@gloomyasaske]

I wish you could react to the silk Sonic's cover of love's train

[@RANDOM77GAMING]

the live version of this song hits different

[@TwoOldDudes]

We'll check it out Luke, thanks man!

[@GoogakProductions]

React to Dave - Black (Live at the Brits) He is and english rapper it’s an amazing piece on racism especially in the UK

[@alicej.9722]

Love your vids! Have you considered reacting to live performances? 😊

[@blac_yahh6649]

Listen to "u" from pimp to butterfly

[@JoshDun6]

You should react to Twenty One Pilots (My blood, nico and the niners, jumpsuit etc.)

[@MiloLamar]

Maybe, since you already made "i", "u" should be next

[@TwoOldDudes]

Hey Emil. We actually just posted a reaction video to the whole album on Patreon. It was great! Thanks for watching!

I wish you guys could react to some of Colter Walls music, I have a feeling you would like it a lot.
