Making Media Matter
Добавлен 27 фев 2016
I really love media and this is my place to talk about it. I'm a super big fan of music and movies, most specifically hip-hop/rnb and horror movies. My channel can be pretty eclectic much of the time, but I hope the effort I put into my content shines through and makes every video feels like a focused, complete experience.

The Beef Is Done, But Kendrick Isn’t
Releasing this video off the usual schedule so I can speak on the new Kendrick track from last week!
This one is titled "Watch The Party Die" or "Black Forces" or "Dear God", idk man, maybe we'll never know the true title. But this is Kendrick's first new musical release since "Not Like Us" and the entirety of his beef with Drake, and it contains some really interesting lyrics when thinking about what's come before and what's next for Kendrick.
What excites me most about this track is probably that I already predicted a lot of it in my other videos on Kendrick, the Mr. Morale and The Big Steppers influences, the internal contradictions for Kendrick, and the broader goals of cultural unity....

You Don’t Understand “Not Like Us”

After a month hiatus, I'm back with what might be my best video yet, a return to the Kendrick Lamar beef cycle of 2024 with special attention paid to what I might now think is his best diss track: "Not Like Us". This one was a real labor of love. I did multiple outfits and camera set ups for this video, and generally just altered my usual format into something more ambitious. I hope y'all appre...

HI y'all, dealing with lots of work at the moment so this one is just a small, chill type video talking about a topic that I find interesting.

I heard all your recommendations to cover more of Kendrick's recent diss records and I have returned to meet them! This video dives deep into the most sinister of Kendrick's diss records: "Meet The Grahams" "Meet The Grahams" has honestly become kind of infamous among the recent Kendrick diss tracks for how dark and evil it feels, and how it definitively stole a (momentary) win from Drake.

The remake version is my all time favorite Jason design
Best cinema experience in a long long time. My god I saw myself with my 2 brothers playing ball in this movie. Feelings (tried to hold my tears as I sat alone in the cinema). Best movie of 2023 (the Holdovers close 2nd).
God, 8:15 was an emotional whiplash. I remember being little, and being entranced by the wolfman, and desperately wishing i could be covered in hair and fangs and to truly be a man. It always saddened me when he was killed in the end, as i saw it as a lesson as to what would happen to me should i do the same. Ten years later im now on my second year if testosterone, and gid does it feel hood to be home in my body
Overrated
We can only hope.
I cried a few times watching this
I feel like in so many things people are digging to hard into it when there isn’t really anything there
I saw buffalo bill more as if he thought he was “special” even tho he wasn’t he was just an idiot deranged psychopath but I can see the controversy around it
Just stumbled upon your page and I lovedddd this video thank you for your immense work ✨💘
😂😂😂😂
Lil sis. You are incredibly insightful! Thank you so much for blessing us with the fruits of your introspection
I'm so glad I found you today. Your content is fantastic and I appreciate your perspective.
In part 6 tommy still had the gas on his clothes from return of the living dead. This is what caused the sudden rain and Jason coming back. 😂
Aside from sending my eyes back in time when you said, "but that's just a theory...", this was a pretty damn good essay. I appreciate the breakdown and will probably finally sit and listen to Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers.
“Feeling pain makes them feel weak and feeling weak brings them pain”. That’s a bar and facts.
This movie made me appreciate my dad even more than i already did. Man was never afraid to show his emotions, good or bad. He'd cry like a baby to music and movies and wasn't ashamed to. He always taught me that it's okay to cry
You are the ONLY person Ive seen who has recognized NLU's ability to powerful unite people together as a single universal "in-group" through the establishment of an "out-group" antagonist/target in Drake. It ignites are most base, kind of "bad" impulses towards effectively bullying, to create a moment of powerful universal community. First person to put to words what I felt, and put it to words so elagantly. I love it.
Its like the unity of opposites. A powerfully manifested inclusivity demands a willingness towards strong exclusivity as a balancing and protective force. Its the whole moral dilemma of leftists as being the side of "acceptance and tolerance of all categories of people", and the question born from this desire towards inclusivity, of: is an inclusive and tolerant community forced to then tolerate the intolerant? Does their tolerance doom them to accept and tolerate those who would abuse, exploit or prey upon others? Truly powerful inclusivity and universality, the kind that would seek to unite large swathes of people of diverse character together as family, must make as its priority not mere acceptance and tolerance, but love. Love for that family, that community. And thus a willingness to say "fuck off and get out" to those who would seek to abuse, exploit and prey upon others in that community.
I'm sorry you wrote and filmed this as a TEEN. HBD. You are so talented Jesus.
That's one of the most profound analysis i've ever seen. You just got yourself a new subscriber!
she’s definitely an ellen
Happy Belated Birthday!
I hate how people think this song is another diss to drizzy like Kendrick just said no round twos 😂

i love most of this essay, but i disagree that needy fell into jennifer’s violent ways. i think she killed jennifer not out of vengeance, but because she wanted to save the people of the town, and jennifer from herself. i think she killed the band to avenge jennifer, not just for violence’s sake.
Haven’t seen your videos before, but your editing is beautiful. I was very captivated by the clips you chose, your transitions of “scenes/chapters”, and the one where you had your mouth showing, and your body, it felt like it was easier to understand what you were saying there more, not quite sure why lol. Besides that, the way you spoke throughout the whole video. Very well spoken, not quick, a perfect tempo, and your word choice along with the your flow of the terminology is very well respected and received. Keep it up!!
@@vgoated_god1088 thank you so much! This comment was super kind and encouraging
A non black woman telling me I don’t understand not like us is insane smh
I have been getting into Kendrick’s music lately through Not Like Us reaction videos. I just watched your dissection of the music video and now I’m here. I just want to say that I’m so impressed with the level of detail and dedication you have to dissecting Kendrick’s work line by line. As someone who has a bachelor’s in English, the way you look at his music through lyrics and context within the greater industry reminds me of the literary analysis I did in college. You’re doing a fantastic job and I can’t wait to see what you put out next, regardless of topic. Subscribing!
This was such a well made video. Commenting for the algorithm.
i have been me, and the video has been wonderful
All I know is that Kendrick shows me I am not hating enough nor healing enough and THAT is why he is the GOAT.
Was just listening to MTG and heard "Dear Aubrey, I know you're probably thinking I wanted to crash your party" Instantly thought of this video 😂 So it seems that's even more supporting evidence of your theory alongside the NLU party line
This was a really well composed essay and video. As a 40-something white guy, the title of this video did not come as a surprise to me but even knowing I'm am outsider, I sing along to the refrain with my own personal THEYs in mind that aren't like "us".
A lot of us in Toronto are tired of Drake. King Kendrick will always be the goat.
I for one am pumped for the MAGA Kenny era

Y’all would think the amount of dopamine I get from these endless Kendrick videos would slow down eventually, but it don’t. 🍽️ 🥩
my husband walked out of this film when he saw it in the theatre as a teenage boy… I saw it in my 20s as a sapphic adult woman and was immediately in love with it. even for two queer folks, the viewing experience was SO different for us, I think mainly because of the insane marketing campaign pre-release (& Diablo Cody’s writing style lol) and this video got to the heart of that perfectly!
❤😊
I'm sure you'll hit 100k by the end of the year. Amazing content as always! :)
ayyyy
You’re great, honestly, so transparent and great!
Really hope this was a Heart
This is so good! You gotta examine Lecrae's reponse he made a few days ago
