Understanding Instrumentals: Kendrick's Untitled 05

How Kendrick Lamar can help us understand instrumentals through his words, not by what it gives us, but how that takes away from our ability to imprint our own meaning on the song. I used the song Untitled 05 to make this analysis.

Untitled 5 is my favorite song off of untitled unmastered. It holds a lot of personal meaning to me.

[@geigster]

Isaac Stamper imo kendricks best song of all time

[@Frdnnd]

🤝

[@tyler8902]

I've always thought that the instrumental of this song was not open for interpretation, but rather very clearly setting and paralleling the aggressive, dissonant atmosphere that Kendrick cements with his flow and lyrics, respectively. The nonstop crash cymbals that follow through the whole song maintain the anger, which Kendrick then reflects in his story. Thundercat's driving and tense bass lick is mirrored in Kendrick's up-front, yelling flow. The emotional turmoil Kendrick embodies in his lyrics is almost made palpable by the haunting horns, Anna Wise's vocals, and almost non-rhythmic piano. I think you really missed the masterpiece that is the relationship between the vocal and instrumental in this song.

[@robbyknight6418]

Wow, I've always loved Untitled 05, but couldn't really put a finger on it. All of the layers on the instrumental really make the song. Some great analysis here Tyler, seriously appreciate this.

[@dylanchilds6522]

exactly this video is dog shit

[@jayko4703]

That is SO INSANE to me that when you hear that intro you think of a sunny day and a coffee shop. It’s so far away from what I picture. I’ve always pictured a more grey and gloomy day inside of a busy city. To me it doesn’t sound happy or peaceful, it sounds somber.

[@Ayo.Ajisafe]

Well the songs chord progression is taken from Nardis by Bill Evans. They even jam on this live. Nardis is not really sunny day Jazz at all.

[@raphgrel5635]

im sorry but if you didnt get a sense of movement from that drum pattern before kendrick even said a word you didnt understand the instrumental

[@adub92199]

raph grel song comes in SO tough

[@onefortysix6955]

the moment the brass kicks in gives me goosebumps everytime. It just feels so epic

[@TheWanAndOnly06]

Definitely. I don't see how he got coffee shop from

[@boy_genius]

If the first thing you think of is "coffee shop, and hipsters" when you hear the beginning of that song just because its "jazz", you might want expand your own listening view.

[@MosesReyna]

my interpretation of the instrumental was already aligned with the tone of kendrick’s narrative. so for me it pieces together nicely.

[@mug9591]

Glad to know I'm in the presence of a Nujabes fan. Emancipator was my favorite track as well.

[@nathannakadegawa-lee]

Just because music doesn't have vocals doesn't mean it isn't a song. Just because music has vocals doesn't mean it is a song

[@ttruiett]

There’s no “jazz sample” that was recorded live

[@ttruiett]

AasimYasirAli really?? is that the only way I’d know it’s not a sample? You know album credits exist right??? google it

[@goyonman9655]

BADBADNOTGOOD, that is all you need.

Get this man a drink

[@chadillue4932]

Or najubes

[@minimonkey252]

"Jazz sample" nope "On it's own, we may call to mind a friend, a sunny day. . ." you have a dark, sloshing, tense, throbbing sense of a sunny day. Yes, there's room for interpretation, but interpreting the sound of an explosion as a hummingbird feels like a failure to listen.

[@frome5000]

I feel like a snob but I’m glad these comments exist this video just is so lame

[@stationshelter]

My mom gets really antsy when a song doesn't have singing in it and it pisses me off

[@brendandaravong9199]

she’s simple minded

[@DannySullivanMusic]

[@wokerwanderung]

Breathe Something/Stellar Star by Flying Lotus is probably my favorite instrumental of all time. The way he uses the electronic sounds to paint an instead very organic picture really intrigues me. I imagine a starry night in a backyard with fireflies dotting my vision. A phenomenal song.

[@vinayarun2287]

shill for communism my god that song is amazig

[@hubblebublumbubwub5215]

You imply too much that insturmental music is always background music. Some instrumental music is less busy because of the lack of vocals but some instrumental music is so busy that there's no room for vocals. Listen to Husker Du - Reoccurring Dreams or Nomeansno - Obsessed or Death Grips - Death Grips 2.0.

[@lukastonneman7151]

I am now hooked on death grips, thanks for the tip!

[@_yuri]

Wulbulbul Lubbubwublub I am on syros mostly and all them songs are better at conveying feelings and titles are creative too.

[@zZE94]

Thanks for the amazing recommendations. Are there more where they came from ?

[@hubblebublumbubwub5215]

Lukas Tonneman I'm going bald and I hooked someone on Death Grips. I'm becoming more and more like daddy Fantano.

[@hubblebublumbubwub5215]

zZE94 Depends on what you want. The bands I named usually don't make instrumental music. Edit: Wipers - Youth of America and Wire - A Touching Display and Fear - We Destroy the Family and Suicide - Mr Ray (live) Not instrumentals but similar vibes

[@totallynollie10]

I looove that quote "instrumentals perfectly lay a mood without intruding" cause that's why I play instrumentals when studying, meditating, etc.

[@inafridge8573]

I find that beat to sound really chaotic not a peaceful summer day with or without the lyrics

[@RonakDhakan]

About 2000 tracks [20% of my music library] is just instrumentals and soundtracks. When working, I exclusively listen to these.

[@jadeanderson9651]

I really enjoy this content, especially this video. Im in an instrumental metal band so its nice having someone show respect for the power that an instrumental can give for interpretation

[@DjVoyagerOfficial]

I think you’re laying out a two dimensional view of “instrumental vs. vocal” music that is way to polarizing. Yes, I agree with you when you say that instrumental music *can* say less then music with vocals.... “can” being the key word here. I, personally, believe that music with vocals isn’t “explicit”, it’s “direct”. An instrumental doesn’t suddenly gain explicit meaning simply because some vocals are applied on top of it. The vocals have their own, independent, meaning that is directly stated through language. Using language does nothing to dictate the meaning of the music behind it, it simply exists with it/compliments it/works against it. Sometimes the instrumental and the vocal do NOT compliment each other in a pleasing way and the result is two, conflicting, stories being told that sort of morph together. I do believe that music without vocals can tell a story/take the majority of listeners to the exact same place. Music intervals are processed by our brains by numerical fractions. The more dissonant the interval (2nds, 7ths, aug and perfect 4ths, dim 5ths) the more complicated the fraction, the more simple the interval (3rds, 5ths, 8vas, unisons, 6ths) the less complicated the fraction. Since our brains all process this intervalic information in the same way, it would be fair to say that they would also process a series of intervals in the same way, release dopamine at the same times, etc. Considering that the majority of the music that is produced today is melody-dominated homophony, we have limited exposure to more technically expressive forms of music such as polyphonic music and hybrids of polyphonic and homophonic music. Granted, it is more difficult to express meaning through a single Melody and texture in an instrumental piece, and it does take more conscious listening power since we aren’t being bombarded with our ear-grabbing language, but the results can’t be compared. Direct/verbal meaning and explicit/implicit/musical meaning are two separate categories.

[@benedanders5804]

Henry Taylor i think taking a look at classical Musik, can underline that!!

[@monopolejoe]

SayJak is my favorite instrumentalist. Experimental Hip-Hop and electronic blends that are amazing.

[@axe7adrian]

The instrumental didn’t imply a coffee shop, or whatever you were talking about, it it’s the positive. It feels depressed, the feeling was implied after the previous song. There’s an art to this and you simply misunderstood it

[@bourne8636]

This song feels existential but in the most positive way. At the ending when the horns fade out almost aggressively it feels like it wants to continue to play but is stopped by the duration of the song. I feel like it’s a metaphor for death and how we will all have to face an end, even if we don’t want to.

[@bourne8636]

It’s also positive because we get a peace from the certainty of our end, nothing in life is certain but death, it’s a chaotic beat until it just ends.

[@Books_With_Brian]

For years, I have been listening to instrumentals far more than other people. In this video, you perfectly defined for me why I do that--I had never taken the time to understand this for myself. Untitled 05 by Kendrick Lamar is a great example of this. I listened to this song (most likely strongly for the instrumental) when I was experiencing a break up and the mood of the song harmonized with the struggle I was enduring. So much to the point that I still have trouble listening to this song because I associate it so much with such a bad time in my life. My favorite instrumentals to listen to are those of 9th Wonder. Highly underrated, 9th has a great way of constucting beats that fit any and every mood. Subscribed.

[@jjay3470]

To recognise someone’s pain and give them props for is a great compliment

[@alexanderl8794]

This is an up and coming channel mark my words

[@10talmaq]

Untitled 5's instrumental is incredible, imo. Been subscribed for like 2 weeks and really impressed by your vids :D

[@CoffeeBreaks]

Thank you Talha, I appreciate that!

[@zyyps]

Passin' Me By - Pharcyde I listened to this instrumental almost all of senior year as I walked through the halls of Lakeside high school.

[@SolaceMusic]

knxwledge all day boi

[@uarelovedd8025]

Great pick with untitled 05. I love the intro. I recommend the intro to "Long time no see" Taku.

[@UnknownChase]

Dude I was your 300th subscriber and I enjoy all of your videos. So glad I subbed, thanks for the quality content man.

[@CoffeeBreaks]

Thanks unknownchase! Early subscribers will always hold a special place with me, Thanks for believing in the channel and supporting me! :D

[@lukastonneman7151]

I like to think that vocals are just another instrument at the artists disposal, it just so happends to be good for telling a story, just like precussion is good for setting a beat. I do not agree with your statement that instrumnetals are better for "background music" because they "say less". Just as many others in this comment section, I can think of many instrumnetal songs that completely grab and hold on to my full attention and many songs with lyrics that I hardly notice are playing. Fundamentally I belive you overrate song lyrics power to grab the attention of the listener. Have a nice day.

[@0xL0uL0]

That's some sassy salt right there over a disagreement of opinion

[@hubblebublumbubwub5215]

Robert Calling him salty.... Nice counter-argument that totally doesn't make you look like a hypocrite.

[@pippincovington1348]

Lukas Tonneman this is exactly what i was thinking

[@nehakiran525]

also to add that ppl don't really pay much attention to the actual beats/tunes ; vocal songs get mainstream media attention cuz songs lyrics are much easier to digest and understand . It takes some skills to understand the musicality of classical songs. And......yeah I pretty much listen to a lot of classical music, I even took up violin, cuz I love classical music so much😃

[@CreamGuy98]

I don't usually pay much attention to the lyrics, so I "construct my own meaning and message" for both instrumentals and tracks with vocals, in the latter case usually disregarding what the lyricist actually wanted to convey (unless it's something I like). It's the music that does the "talking", and a human voice is like another instrument in many ways, a part of the music, and not an obstacle to free interpretation and enjoyment of the music

[@c7zr179]

I listen to a lot of video game soundtracks. I feel like many people underestimate the sheer amount of skill that goes into this music.

[@haleybeldin9247]

Flying Lotus is a frequent collaborator with Kendrick and makes incredible beats. Not all of his songs are instrumentals, but a lot of them are. I highly recommend him.

[@AschKris]

24/7 chill lofi hiphop radio is my favorite youtube search for this reason

[@hstkema1469]

First thing came to mind as soon as the inst. Started playing was Running the fuck away with my life packed in the back of my bucket driving out of town on the highway. At night while its raining. The song starts out hes driving.

[@tomc8693]

Tycho produce some pretty great music that could be categorised as ambient. Enjoyed the vid. Thanks Coffee Break!

[@GhostRider659]

the red orchestra OST is something I love listening to while studying or writing lab reports. While there are occasional vocals, they're often muted, and since I can't understand the Russian ones, they might as well be instruments. The mood they set is a mixture of creeping danger, melancholy and soft urgency that helps me concentrate without riling me up.

[@nonhonome4080]

Beautiful video! I hope you're channel grows mainstream fast and if you keep up this level of quality I think it will!

[@CountryFriedChocobo]

Thank you for this great lovely and quick breakdown as I had not really thought of it this way until now. I do love painting with lyrical music like Kendrick Lamar above, and I sometimes like to use the artist's perspective on the canvas I'm working with, but like what your video is pointing at, I lose my vision. That's when instrumentals come in to play, and I feel a little more free with what I'm seeing. Helps especially when doing abstract art. Here are some instrumental artists I've been listening to over the past week or so: - Perturbator - Rachmaninoff's Piano Concertos - J Dilla - Nujabes - Bonobo Thanks again. -

[@tomsmith4090]

I listen to the ambient album Expanses by the Green Kingdom almost every night when I'm trying to fall asleep... something about it just really gets me

[@ShapurTheLegend]

Your description is a really nice touch, I don't see big youtubers provide shit like that just for the heck of it. Your videos have a very professional quality to them. As for ambient instrumentals, something by Aphex Twin or Boards of Canada can surely fit the bill or maybe even Godspeed You! Black Emperor. Try Rhubarb or Lichen by Aphex twin

[@hoogway622]

Great video, I can tell there's a lot of work behind ! Good insights, hip-hop instrumentals and lofi have been my drug for quite a time now :D

[@CoffeeBreaks]

Appreciate it hoogway, and thanks for contributing the music for this video! yeah I love lofi, so chill

[@mawita867]

I love instrumental music and music in languages i dont understand. I fall into a trance, where im just in my own little world. I can read, study, draw and so much more with inatrumental music. I can´t do all that with songs in languages i understand.

[@pi-2627]

"And this is how Kendrick Lamar can help us understand instrumentals. through what we lose when he starts rapping"'

[@gfr381]

Man I love instrumental music( im a piano player) And i have never heard of Nujabes, I love it. Thank you

[@0hhSly]

I don’t understand why you put all these classical pieces as just « instrumentals », the majority of classical music has a meaning and a real story that’s exposed during the piece. Nowadays it is sometimes also the case but there aren’t poignant story and much depth to it. Think about composers like Prokofiev and his pieces during the Staline era that criticized his regime. He even composed an extremely sordid piece that was found after a suicide attempt. Even the classical music you recommended is entry level and isn’t the more interesting kind. The same goes for jazz, it isn’t just « instrumental ». Jazz back then had a big meaning, these were post slavery time and the greats weren’t just playing to pass time, they had a purpose.

[@HomageBeats]

incredible.. really love this explanation, captures what I seek to accomplish very well.

[@santabunnycone]

Anything Brian Eno for Ambient. He is the godfather of ambient music and has a very in-depth understanding of how music can be used to create an atmosphere instead of communicate a specific message. His most popular albums are Music For Airports and Discreet Music but my personal favorite is his collaboration with Cluster.

[@CoffeeBreaks]

I'll add him! Thanks santabunnycone!

[@santabunnycone]

No problem. And cool video. Untitled 05 is literally my favorite Kendrick song.

[@AZWADER]

I disagree the instrumentals are strictly for background listening and lyrical songs are strictly for active listening, I do them both indiscriminately, although I guess my disagreement may be more of just a personal quirk

[@ALXPRZ17]

Ratatat and Justice are my favourite instrumental artists because a lot of their songs do tell a story for me. I associate colours with their songs/specific instruments because that's how well I "see" what I'm hearing from them.

[@tomeazevedo99]

ayy lmao! Just looked at your recommendations and, watching a year later, I'm seeing Naxatras live next week, very nice.

[@nishonthebeat]

💯 can't agree more brodie love the video 👌

[@ryujetra5668]

When i see a new release i search for the instrumental and listen before i even listen to the song.

[@bigmikejax]

The song Daddy was a rolling stone by The Temptations starts off with the best 4 or 5 min. Instrumental followed bye some of the heaviest lyrics.

[@GrubKiller436]

This video *deserves* to go viral. Hell, your channel is great.

[@FirstLast-cf4mi]

I hope he is challenging the false DMCA strike from the School of life.

[@lucasnaylor5446]

I’m sure it’s in the comments already but the chords are the chord changes are to the jazz standard “Nardis”

[@shz25]

This is amazing content! I've hardly come across your type of videos. Bravo bravo! I'm interested in understanding how people are affected psychologically. I'm assuming either you do marketing or psychology.

[@myllions]

i always felt the instrumental feels like a thunderstorm

[@AirborneSurfer]

Pink Floyd were the masters of mixing instrumentals with lyrical music, especially on their later concept albums like The Wall, Wish You Were Here, and Dark Side of The Moon--entire albums that smoothly shift back and forth between the two worlds giving deeper meaning to both and building into a whole that is somehow greater than the sum of its individual parts or tracks.

[@paulokano5032]

I like your video essays!

[@chrisfotheringham3468]

Bach Partitia no.2 This piece is absolutely breathtaking. It literally changed my life. Listen to it.

[@CoffeeBreaks]

added and I'll listen to it!:D

[@MrDido59]

For all who love some good saxophone but don't really get along with traditional Jazz: *Grover Washington Jr.* Especially his Album Winelight got so many great songs, with awesome melodies, beautiful chord progressions und funky basslines

[@joshuagarcia2218]

One of the greatest instrumentals I've ever came across with was Oddisee's "Slow It Down" I was obsessed with it so much I hunted down the 45 just so I can have it

[@Plansapiensandthenanother]

AMBIENT MUSIC: Loscil - Endless Falls - One of my favourate ambient artists, very spacy album with an emotional edge Brian Eno - Music for airports 1 - If your looking to see what ambient music is all about, this album is the "official" start of it all and a good entry point Others Tim Hecker - Haunt Me Pan American - Quiet city Aphex twin - Selected ambient works 2

[@DrEwApproved]

Outstanding video keep up the great work

[@NoMercyFate]

[Ambient] Suggestions: -Shpongle is a big one, they are THE masters of conveying a story, thought or feeling without neccessarily using vocals it is them, Very psychedelic though, you have to take your time to really sit and listen to the music, and I guess it isn't for everyone. -Carbon Based Lifeforms: More of what you'd expect of ambient music, veeeery calm but goes very deep if you allow it to -Some more dub-like ones are: Koan, Vibrasphere, Globular, Ott, RadioActive Sandwich, Plantrae, Tripswitch, -Some more chill-like ones are: Tipper, Bonobo,, The XX, XXYYXX, Aphex Twin, Enjoy! :)

[@x_no_where]

Alex i love xxyyxx. Hes pretty cool

[@mustardroshi418]

here after the drake diss

[@rafaeltrindade7009]

You could literally say thsi about any artist and still pose Kendrick as this exception that can help one understand what is gained and lost by adding vocals/lyrics to instrumentals. Hundreds of artists could fit that bill of an example, I don't think there's any need of specifying Kendrick so much as if he was this immaculate example when it's a musical concept that's so universal and applicable to SO MUCH music. Good video, however. I've discovered your channel recently and been digging it a lot. Keep creating good content.

[@rahulg3714]

Rafael Trindade It is ok... Kendrick is just an example. In modern times he is the most popular artist who used Jazz and Funky instrumental like Whole To pimp a butterfly album and Untitled Unmastered.

[@rafaeltrindade7009]

Yeah, he sure is one of the best examples in mainstream. Doesn't take anything from what I stated, though, but of course it is appliable to Kendrick and of course he's a good example. Could be lots of artists tho, just that.

[@jp-nl5xc]

Beautiful video, that's what classic music is for! :D

[@henrybrown6480]

Ratatat (a group) does amazing electro-rock instrumentals. Been listening to them for years now.

[@gigglysamentz2021]

That's very interesting. Personally, I've been disappointed so many times by EDM tracks with vocals that clash with the mood I heard in the instrumental.

[@Gaunerchen]

That's what I love about certain electronic music. Roller Mobster by Carpenter Brut for example carries a very unique mood. I also love Glitch Mob for that Kind of music.

[@jessicafavre738]

This was what I needed

[@kylestallings9684]

As for ambient instrumentals, stuff like Boards of Canada, and The Orb are great, almost in the same vein as LoFi hip hop, but really their own thing entirely. Id recommend anything off Geogaddi or Music Has The Right, by Boards of Canada.

[@Wencater]

For the ambient thing in the description I’d recommend 2 8 1 4 - 新しい日の誕生 Brilliant ambient record

[@somekid7]

I like the message concerning instrumentals, but the Kendrick track just felt like you were plugging whatever was on your mind at the time. Of course, that track is my all-time favorite track from Kendrick. Anyway, I feel like music can be hard to understand by itself. Context matters. For example, I didn't give a shit about jazz or blues music till I started digging and learning about what kind of lives those musicians were living. I had no idea that Charlie Parker lived and died addicted to heroin. I thought jazz was music for snotty rich people. But then I learned about tons of different musicians by reading and listening all alone. If I were in the streets and out all the time, then I probably would've never spent that time, and I'd probably see jazz as meaningless.

[@Ayo.Ajisafe]

Exactly so many people think that jazz is for snotty rich people people barely move a muscle in jazz concerts. It's ridiculous.

[@masquecenamarada945]

I spend most my time listening to music and when i try to meditate or focus, It's always the vocals that get stuck in my head and sometimes it gets annoying

[@Myboy-n7z]

Hip hop producers like The Alchemist, J Dilla (RIP) , DJ Shadow all have great albums that are instrumental.. there are vocal samples on these albums but no artist rapping (tho they do also produce music with vocals - these instrumental albums are worth checking out.

[@mestopig]

Lazy day blues by Bert weedon is my favorite and one of the only instrumentals I listen to

[@vitormedeiros153]

Arctic Monkeys - Chun Li Spinning Bird Kick is the best Rock instrumental piece I've ever heard. I also like Mia & Sebastian's theme from La La Land. Oh, and Clair de Lune is a gorgeous song. There's the song Four Shots or absolutely anything else by the canadian band BadBadNotGood as well, quality contempo jazz over there. Loved the video, it made me think about a topic I overlook. This is the best kind of video. Even better than the ones that teach are the ones that make you think about something you know from a different point of view. Im going to take a look at those songs to dive deep into instrumentals, and I'm starting to think it will help me write! Really, this whole thing about building a scene in your head is juicy fiction-writing material.

[@anthonyfen-chong5557]

damn i was exactly looking for this type of channel, glad i found urs but youtube's algorithm surely didn't help

[@ROFLPirate_x]

One of my favourite instrumentals is Pessimist - Another Day in Mania. Any and all of Metallica's Instrumentals.

[@mandaloriancrusader3746]

The Marshmallow Pumpkins are a mostly instrumental band that I would recommend.

[@onalla]

beat tapes are p cool, the neotic radio station on spotify never lets me down

[@Damonfree_]

Unpopular opinion: This is Kendrick’s best song

[@tomrosenjacobson80]

Instrumentals lie very close to Techno in terms of implicit meaning. Techno is dance-instrumental! It's ambiguity helps people shape their own meaning of the sample-based rhythms. This is also the reason why most (uncommercialized) rave's dedicate the bulk of their budget to the sound systems, not the visuals. Great video, also consider setting up a Patreon? Would definitely pay for some extra exclusive content :)

[@NonYaBiznessprod]

Anything from samiyam,mf doom instrumentals, flying lotus, dam funk are all dope to me

[@just-analienboi2052]

i do like your way of thinking of music

[@ShaquanTalbert]

Finally someone spoke on this track!

[@owowhatsthis4023]

My favorite instrumental bands are Naxatras and Agalloch, naxatras is a stoner rock, agalloch is...i don't really know what type it is but i am sure i love it

[@CoffeeBreaks]

I put Agalloch under metal.

[@alex-er3de]

Good video. I'm already a big listener of instrumentals. One of my faves lately is "Async' by Ryuichi Sakamoto.
