Hey from L.A. 👋🏾👋🏾👋🏾 You really have to be from here to understand most of the video. Like, there's really a man who stands on the corner with the "Jesus saves gangsters too" sign. The bikes - Bay area (hyphy) The flag- African American flag The girl at the beginning - crumpin Boy on the big wheel - menace to society Showin love to the Mexicans Low rider Black panther Black Moses Black Jesus Freeway sign entering Compton Soul train RIP candles - we do that Woman with the 🔫 - Ice T album cover The lil boy with the remote - Kendrick Bloods, crips, and Hoovers It's so much. You gotta find a breakdown video if interested.
I feel like we’re still babies in the music industry, we do have alot of local/upcoming artists but I wouldn’t say we have a staple type of sound yet where you’d hear it and be like ‘oh that’s definitely Toronto’. Hopefully soon we have a breakthrough 🥲
Hey cousins. Red, black and green are the Pan African flag colors for the African diaspora in the western hemisphere. The American flag as red, black and green is considered the African American flag in this case.
There’s a lot of culture, callbacks & Easter eggs that many won’t understand or familiarize with. This is a bop, but not the commercial or pop sound that most are familiar with. Fortunately/unfortunately a listener of K-Dot needs to put on the thinking cap & know a little something about somethings. Good catch on the Roots homage; there are many, many, many more eggs there & in Kendrick’s portfolio. Thanks for sharing your Canadian reaction.
Drake fans thinking this is the "Kendrick sound" & this is how he usually dress & rap because they only tuned to him after the beef is the funniest shit to me 🤣🤣 Kdot only doin it to prove the point that he can make catchy simple songs if he wants, & to show love to his roots.. but in the last 15 years he gave the most progressive experimental complex sounds & themes out of any other rapper.. he is reinventing himself like every true artist should.. But Drake is "borrowing sounds" by doing features with artists from different places, he is a fake artist who used his acting skill to create his hip hop persona its not about Canada or where he from, its about what he do.
The chick with the shotgun was a reference to Ice-T's album, "Power". The kid on the Big Wheel bike was a reference to the movie "Menace to Society". (Watch the movie and you'll understand) The two people by the board with the letters on it was a reference to a show called "Soul Train". There was alot more though 😅
A few shots at Drake in this song and on the album. Yall missed it😂. There's a reason it was at the start of the Not Like Us video. (Another one in the chamber, but the Drake response to NLU was so weak that it wasn't worth responding to). I wouldn't be surprised if he changed the lyrics after winning the battle to be less brutal and less about Drake since it's a bop.
belt is a call back to tupac wearing the all the jewels in the bathtub photo I think. kendrick was heavily inspired by him, drake bought the ring tupac had so its been up since then. one of kendrick biggest songs in to tpab he gets advice from tupac in a creative way and the taylor made AI song with tupac voice by drake rly was disrespectful to LA culture (why kendrick did reincarnated without the AI to actually show appreciation to LA and tupac)
I surprisingly havnt done a soca reaction, that’ll be what i look out for next! On @thatsaux channel we did a soca call dancehall battle 😂 you should check it out
😂 because hip hop isn’t what I listen to on a daily basis and I typically prefer listen to music from my cultural background? Lmao I clearly didnt make the video pose an opinion, I asked for insight several times. If someone wanted insight on a soca or dancehall music video I would love to share the knowledge with them and support them for even listening, rather than put them down & tell them what they think doesn’t matter 😂
@@CaramelleRosay obviously you missed my point. So let me break it down for you ( in my kendrick voice ) . I stated your opinion didn’t matter to ME. And who am I but one of a billion people online. So on that note, MY opinion is exactly that, mine. You yourself stated that you don’t typically listen to hip-hop music. when I clicked on your video, I was under the impression that you had a reaction coming from a hip-hop background. At that point in the video, I realized that you didn’t which is why I left. I never put you down, I just made a statement. So sorry you were offended.
And you still missed mine cause I didn’t make the video to pose an opinion, I was interested in understanding more about it. Also, because I don’t have a hip hop background that’s why I chose someone who’s more into that genre of music to do the video with. But completely understand where you’re coming from, my videos aren’t for everyone and like you said, you’re opinion is yours so thank you for sharing it anyways
I feel like we missed a lot of gems, drop something cool about the video in the comments! ⤵️

@@s.h5836appreciate you!! We would’ve never known half of these things 😅
Fun fact, Kendrick Lamar the GOAT removed all copyrights for content creators reaction videos so people can profit from it, the real peoples champ!!!!
I would love to know what the Toronto sound is or prominent music. We can’t tell from Drake because he sounds like he’s from Atlanta
I feel like we’re still babies in the music industry, we do have alot of local/upcoming artists but I wouldn’t say we have a staple type of sound yet where you’d hear it and be like ‘oh that’s definitely Toronto’. Hopefully soon we have a breakthrough 🥲
@@CaramelleRosay that fact u would say this is crazy, whole underground scene in the UK lol
What does that have to do with Toronto?
See what u asking for reals. What canada sound like. Lol drake doesn't have a genuine flow. Kendrick is unmistakenly los angels.
Hey cousins. Red, black and green are the Pan African flag colors for the African diaspora in the western hemisphere. The American flag as red, black and green is considered the African American flag in this case.
Good to know!! I love that he had that in the video
It’s gotta be tough to be from Canada when the rest of the world doesn’t respect you as far as hiphop goes 💯

Magnificent reaction video….‼️
Appreciate that! 🙌🏽
All these scenes were filmed at different times then inserted into the frame so none of them in the room together
Oh that’s dope! You can’t even tell at all
Welcome Back to RUclips!
@@ThatsAUX a very long overdue return🫣😂
Collab of the year 🔥
@@TDOTGlobeTrotter love a collab! Def gotta run it again🤞🏽
Alot of this video is just references to things someone would've seen if they grew up in Compton/L.A. back in the 80s, 90s, and early 2000s.
The chick with the shotgun was a reference to Ice-T's album, "Power".
The kid on the Big Wheel bike was a reference to the movie "Menace to Society". (Watch the movie and you'll understand)
The two people by the board with the letters on it was a reference to a show called "Soul Train".
There was alot more though 😅

American hip-hop

Interesting!
The reason Kendrick did the Roots format is because Guest love has been secretly dissing and hating on Kendrick
I saw a clip about this and didn’t fully understand 😂 I guess Questlove tried to flip it by trying to thank Kendrick
Another Trini showing love! wasup with the soca reactions Naila blackmond and others. Love it tho Check out Asake - uh yeahh
I surprisingly havnt done a soca reaction, that’ll be what i look out for next! On @thatsaux channel we did a soca call dancehall battle 😂 you should check it out
#FBA
8:05 and on that note, I’m gone. Your opinion on this doesn’t matter to me since you’re not invested in the culture.
