The bar about Nas just confirms that Nas has always wanted what's best for the culture. Nas even put his show on hold to give props, love, and moment of silence the night Pac died. Nas is one of the GOATs for a reason.
But didnt Jay make the decision 🤔 Either Jay had everything to do with it or nothing, is that where we at? He mentioned Snoop b4 Nas. Cali pulled some NY shit and yall silent? 😂 Damn yall dont recognize game.
@@iluvdissheetHe mentioned Snoop posting Taylor Made on his IG and hoping he was high when he did it. I’m not sure what that has to do with Nas congratulating Kendrick on the SB
@@TheRonnieaj I mean Snoop had no business reposting Taylor Made lmao he shoulda supported Kendrick like most of the West Coast did. Especially since it’s Snoop. Shoulda gave Kendrick a shout like Nas did, but clearly he wasn’t going to if he was out here reposting TM. Connection is there. They take shots by either saying it or not saying anything when they should be (ie congratulating Kendrick since the west coast will be represented at the SB). Kinda like celebrating with the team even though you sat on the bench. Disrespectful on Snoops part, clearly been around long enough to know.
Kendrick and Eminem need to be recognized as two of the most amazing modern poets and songwriters they both know how to tell a story and keep you engaged
Kendrick is in it for more than just himself & his immediate family though, that’s what set him apart for me. He cares about dropping knowledge & raising a new generation from the trauma
I saw another reactor say that 'Kendrick says he's gonna mind his business, then he starts to say something and stops. He IS actively minding his business by *not* finishing that sentence.' WHAT a take and feels like the sort of thing Kendrick would do. Great vid as always Knox!
Adding to the breakdown: He had one of his murals wiped by a Drake fan who tagged OVO on it - tying all in with his legacy discussion, the murals, the Drake beef, etc..
The sad part is he's not even taking shots, hes just speaking facts.. the jealousy is there and im sure it hurts when youve been someone who supports others, remains humble and just mind your grind!
Imagine getting to what what you might feel is your highest peak and nearly all he hears from hip hop royalty is silence and jealousy, he is cool with Nas but there's some people you expect loyalty from. And there's a lot of shots at Cole here I feel for not picking a lane.
@@DrewtheJit two different things. In Kendrick perspective all he wants is the same loyalty and respect to be reciprocated, but people wanna be jealous because it’s his peak as if he doesn’t deserve all that he’s done for the past decade. All drake wanted to do was to show that he’s the greatest of all time because of his fame, while using people for his own personal benefit for the past decade. One is genuinely disappointed, while the other only cares about what might hurt his image.
When he said “niggas from my city didn’t entertain homeboy” He’s referring to when Drake “put money in the streets” to get dirt on Kendrick Kendrick said it on 6:16 in LA “it was fun until you put money in the streets, and lost money when they came back with no receipts” No one was willing to sell him out. He’s saying he can’t peace it up with Drake because “if that money got into the hands of a crash dummy, that would jeopardize my family”
i can't help but wonder if what he was talking about wasn't drake, but UMG. Maybe UMG offered k-dot money to drop the beef with Drake, i mean they have almost half a billion in a 360 deal with him.
@@ExarchGaming Could certainly be both. There was talks that UMG wanted them to squash it, and that might be why the momentum kinda slowed down after Meet The Grahams. Cuz Lucian couldn't have his son being called a PDFile and Trafficker in the the same week.
😊 Congratulations to Kendrick Lamar 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 He's the only person who could bring this 59 year old back to enjoying RAP MUSIC AGAIN 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Well done, well done.
I gotta say, man... As a dude that enjoys hip-hop for almost 30 years, this album got me into a nostalgia trip. A lot of references to old times in the lyrics, the beats and the samples. That's why I love Kendrick so much... he can reach modernity but he's never out of touch with his roots.
They're good not impeccable. He misses/misinterprets sometimes but that ok. He seems to respect the culture and that means alot. Besides ain't nobody gon sus out all of Kdot bars. That takes weeks. We all gon be breaking down this album probably til the Superbowl.
@ I agree it’s too layered to catch everything, but I would still call it impeccable. It is near on impossible for anyone to catch more than he has on a first listen.
@JSAFC17 PLEASE SPEAK THE TRUTH!!!! No one had ANY problems with previous SB performances in NOLA. But as soon as they announced that KDot would be performing EVERYBODY got in they damn feelings 🙄. KDot deserves to be there. Wayne does not perform the way he used to when he was on top of his game. I found some later videos of Wayne’s performances and they were horrible. He was forgetting words to his own songs, running late, it was painful to watch. The state that lil Wayne is in, there is NO WAY he can carry a full performance at the SB (I’m not hating on him at all). There is a sure fire way if you don’t want to see KDot perform😏🤭 CHANGE THA FUKN CHANNEL 🙄🙄
What you don't understand is that in the past Wayne never campaign to do the Super Bowl like he did this time and unlike the past there was never a rapper coordinating the halftime show who also had the biggest say and who's going to perform the Super Bowl the way that there is now with Jay-Z. THAT'S the differences. People like you want to bring up current performances by Wayne that aren't good when there's also current performances of him actually doing good as well and with nearly a year of prep time he could put on a fire performance but Jay-Z let his personal feelings toward Drake get in the way of choosing who should have really got picked. If anyone's in his feelings it's Kendrick for coming on here trying to play the victim saying F everybody when everybody has literally been on his dick ever since the Drake beef playing not like us anywhere and everywhere. And don't worry people aren't going to tune in much of the halftime show if he starts playing a bunch of diss tracks toward Drake cuz we know Kendrick's music overall doesn't resonate with people outside of Hip Hop
Harlem New York here we loveeeeeee Kendrick and most of All we Loveeeeee REAL HIPHOP. This is where it all started from AND DOT IS CARRYING IT ON HIS BACK RIGHT NOW. He’s keeping alive why we all feel inlove with hiphop in the first place. We are United not divided❤❤❤❤❤✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾
the way you have all rap info filed away in your head is why I come to you for these breakdowns. bro remembers EVERYTHING and brings it up when it’s needed 😭
I honestly have to commend Kendrick. I wanted to say "Drake could never" but honestly, no artist can grab the worlds attention all at the same time. Dude im in South Africa, cape town. And we are all consuming his words at the same time. Thats power man, in November 2024. Wow, epic stuff. Love how its just plain music, no heavy bass but actual passion in the music.
A Hispanic dude from Compton destroyed his mural but it had nothing to do the Mexican Hispanic community. That’s why you here all the Mexican flavor in this track because they have love for Kendrick
@@FaTaLUniverse0Jack Antonoff does a lot of producing for Taylor Swift. He produced this album and also the 6:16 in LA diss track that Kendrick dropped after Euphoria(to go up against Drake’s Taylor Made). So the joke here is it’s literally Taylor made since he went and got Taylor Swift’s producer
The white comedian he's referring to is Andrew Schultz, clowning black women over the black wife effect tik tok challenge,and black men cackling along with him.
@@XxThePhantomFreezexX nah kendrick is right. It's okay to laugh at the joke but black men used it to disrespect us and insult us. Black women would never let a white woman stereotype our men and then put yall down too. We might can't stand yall half the time but we going off on any white woman that's on that racist stuff with our kings.
This is WHY you guys are very very important to Hip Hop, they way y'all break some of these tracks down, i myself would've never thought of some these stuff, thank you once again man ..
Knox, I was confused cause I thought you covered the e tire album in 33:00 but NO this is just one song! Props to you to give this art the attention it deserves. New Subscriber!!
I think there will be another album, but Kendrick's silence doesn't mean he's not listening and seeing everything that's being talked about, so his way of responding is through music, he's not going to sit in an interview and say these things, it's Through his art he shows his feelings, in some moments his duality, and vulnerability, and this album brought me a lot of answers about everything that was said about him after Like That, during and after the battle, and he responds through music. I think he's also bringing the West Coast to the forefront through this album which resonates really well, and the artists that collaborated on it also show that. I knew Kendrick wouldn't like Taylor Made Freestyle, but I didn't know it would be so profound for him, I think it also contributed to the directions and choices he made in battle, and while I thought Kendrick was playing chess with Drake, I was wrong, he was playing chess, but Drake was only a piece on the board and never his real opponent.
Plus his mural that was painted on the restaurant on Not Like Us was destroyed on the same night the Dodger won 5:23 . Someone throw paint on it. It has been repaired. I love the entire album. Great body of work!
I can't lie, this reaction brought me back to when the battle was in full swing and you were dropping reactions. I honestly don't even wanna listen to the album until i hear your breakdown of each song. You're GOATED for your reactions Sir 🐐 👑
I’m not a music artist… but I feel Kenny. I related to this song HEAVY. Keeping my head down, working hard, putting others up while I’m the one that takes the Ls and backstabs. Keep it pushing as I sift through the fakes. Bc when my time comes they not getting a dime. It will come and it’s already begun.
Chills chills chills!!!!!!! No joke I have a chronic medical condition and when I get the chills or “goosebumps” it actually causes me pain. But…………. I have listened to this 5 times in a row now with chills every time and I will take the pain each time to hear Kendrick light up and bear his soul! Just fire 🔥
Yall crazy as hell. Make no mistake Em never lost his place. Em is GOATED been GOATED FOR YEARS… the only reason why people won’t give him his flowers is because he whites and hip hop is for speaking on black issues… but EM is that dude.. and I say that as a black woman. If Em and KDOT battled it would be ridiculous

@@markheckman2196yeah but after that debut and a couple of shots no one kept attention on him… kendrick surprised dropped and has the world in a frenzy along with being top on spotify and apple music and competing with all the top songs kf the year
Your music is dope. I just heard it on in this intro. I’m impressed!! Kendrick is a bonafide legend. He is on demon time. It’s off with all of their heads👌🥊🥊🥊🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💯💯💯💯💯
I woke up and saw Kendrick dropped and instead of sitting in bed for a bit like I usually do I immediately hopped out of bed and got on my computer to hear it.
The production on this album gives me the same type of energy as Nippsey's Victory Lap. Two albums that feel raw and filled with knowledge that's sprinkled in.
He’s referring Andrew Schulz. The “don’t let know white comedian talk about black women” was also him telling Charlamange the god to check his boy andrew schulz
@25:10 I interpreted that line of money going in the wrong hands of a crash dummy as in somebody who's willing to "crash out" for profit. Wanna be hitman essentially. And it makes sense with the follow up lines about "jeopardize my family and burden the ones who love me". Mourning a loss if the "crash dummy" was successful.
"Ducking strays in the Knickersons" he battle rapped in the Knickerson Gardens housing projects in Watts LA. Bounty Hunter Blood Set hails from there. Aint no joke up in there. Top Dawg comes outta there.
One element that you're overlooking is that the music is the old song Friends by Whodini. Kendrick talks about people showing their true faces over the beat of a song asking how many of us have REAL friends. I believe every song on this album has a sample relevant to the message of the song. Man at the garden is, ironically, One Mic from Nas
In that last verse about the bitcoin, bank transactions, etc. he’s talking about how someone (possibly Drake) was offering people in Kendrick’s city monetary gain for dirt. Kendrick is saying “they wouldn’t entertain ole boy” meaning nobody would give up anything on him. The crash dummy is referencing the money possibly going to someone reckless and irresponsible who could possibly cause harm to Kendrick or his family. Which is just reinforcing Kendrick not being with any truces with the other side
I’ve had the worst week of my life recently. I’ve always told myself, there’s always something positive that comes out of everything that’s negative. Just as I started to think that wasn’t true. Kendrick put out a banger of an album 💿 An we can’t forget about you Knox, thank you for being you and doing what you do best! 🙏
I don't think that was big enough because why bring it up now he has said similar things way before then. Also, shxts and gigs are not big enough to catch a stray from kendrick when the song is based around artist. Maybe it is just a random shot at youtubers but doesn't seem to fit the theme of the song

@@j.r5124 oh ok thank you
Irony
That "sample" from Whodini's "Friends" beat is genius
Always loved that song
Woooow now I hear it!
Came here to say I hear this
Kendrick hit Legendary Rank and started climbing the legend leaderboard. Working his way to Em 😳
Meanwhile Em is slowly but surely working his way down that list....
Yall crazy as hell. Make no mistake Em never lost his place. Em is GOATED been GOATED FOR YEARS… the only reason why people won’t give him his flowers is because he whites and hip hop is for speaking on black issues… but EM is that dude.. and I say that as a black woman. If Em and KDOT battled it would be ridiculous
I honestly have to commend Kendrick. I wanted to say "Drake could never" but honestly, no artist can grab the worlds attention all at the same time. Dude im in South Africa, cape town. And we are all consuming his words at the same time. Thats power man, in November 2024. Wow, epic stuff. Love how its just plain music, no heavy bass but actual passion in the music.
With Em's new album, its selling pretty well throughout the world!
Yup, im a 40 year old woman in KZN and Im up..
I'm in Ug and I woke up to this. Had to pause my morning agenda cause DAMN!!!
I'm 25 from KwaZulu-Natal and Kendrick has always just been the one for me.
@@markheckman2196yeah but after that debut and a couple of shots no one kept attention on him… kendrick surprised dropped and has the world in a frenzy along with being top on spotify and apple music and competing with all the top songs kf the year
Your music is dope. I just heard it on in this intro. I’m impressed!!
Kendrick is a bonafide legend. He is on demon time. It’s off with all of their heads👌🥊🥊🥊🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💯💯💯💯💯
Anyone else noticed that the image of Kendrick on the album looks similar to a picture of ice cube leaning on his car in the 90s?
Yep. Cube in the DC "Soldier" video that also features Wayne
"Head shots for the year, you better walk around like Daft Punk." He was NOT PLAYING!
On the day JFK got assasinated?
@@zacharybuday9991dropped at 12:30pm …same time as the assassination
Kendrick just open his mouth, dropping album fire as hell,he talks about past year, somebody pass him Grammy right now 😅😅😅😅😅 fire 🔥🔥🔥🔥
He's not just top 5, Kendrick is the GOAT.
I frigging love Kendrick, the album is a gift
I woke up and saw Kendrick dropped and instead of sitting in bed for a bit like I usually do I immediately hopped out of bed and got on my computer to hear it.
This had been an amazing year fo hip hop
For*
The production on this album gives me the same type of energy as Nippsey's Victory Lap. Two albums that feel raw and filled with knowledge that's sprinkled in.
We are waiting for your reaction Knox, salute from Italy 🥂
This guy is just soooo goood he never puts a foot wrong like he knows exactly what the people needs, kendrick is just that guy.
@KnoxHill that bass in the background is from Whodini’s “Friends”…that in itself is a subliminal message!
Oh wow 😮
What does it mean ? Break it down
@@SOLUTION_PROVIDER meaning he has “no friends in the industry”….a Drake song.
Oh my goodness that's good old song! There's not too many of them out there!😅
Thank you for pointing that out...I knew it was famiiar but didn't know what it was.
He’s referring Andrew Schulz. The “don’t let know white comedian talk about black women” was also him telling Charlamange the god to check his boy andrew schulz
His Album Is FIREEEE 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
@25:10
I interpreted that line of money going in the wrong hands of a crash dummy as in somebody who's willing to "crash out" for profit. Wanna be hitman essentially. And it makes sense with the follow up lines about "jeopardize my family and burden the ones who love me". Mourning a loss if the "crash dummy" was successful.
"Ducking strays in the Knickersons" he battle rapped in the Knickerson Gardens housing projects in Watts LA. Bounty Hunter Blood Set hails from there. Aint no joke up in there. Top Dawg comes outta there.
🎯but it’s Nickerson
@deandremallory3842 you right.
Kenny is in heat, don't mess with him atm.
Cant wait for Em to jump in with Ken, remind all it ain't about the skin color but the culture
the fact that i got the noti for this no more than 10 minutes after i finished the album is crazy, beautifullll album bro, it’s all 10s 😭😭😭😭😭
The music sample is Friends by Whodini... quite fitting...
Thanks for always having a breakdown that extends my mind to think a lil bit more 👌🏽
L⚜️VE DOT in New Orleans‼️Not all of us rock like Wayne. ⚜️❤️🔥⚜️❤️🔥⚜️❤️🔥⚜️
Kendrick is going to go down in history as the best rapper of all time💯🙌
Facts
Definitely on the mount rushmore
The whole truth here
Right after Em 💯
One element that you're overlooking is that the music is the old song Friends by Whodini. Kendrick talks about people showing their true faces over the beat of a song asking how many of us have REAL friends. I believe every song on this album has a sample relevant to the message of the song. Man at the garden is, ironically, One Mic from Nas
Plus 2pac sampled it on troublesome and Nas if I ruled the world
This is the greatest thing I’ve ever heard
In that last verse about the bitcoin, bank transactions, etc. he’s talking about how someone (possibly Drake) was offering people in Kendrick’s city monetary gain for dirt. Kendrick is saying “they wouldn’t entertain ole boy” meaning nobody would give up anything on him. The crash dummy is referencing the money possibly going to someone reckless and irresponsible who could possibly cause harm to Kendrick or his family. Which is just reinforcing Kendrick not being with any truces with the other side
I’ve had the worst week of my life recently. I’ve always told myself, there’s always something positive that comes out of everything that’s negative. Just as I started to think that wasn’t true. Kendrick put out a banger of an album 💿
An we can’t forget about you Knox, thank you for being you and doing what you do best! 🙏
Same here
💯
Hope things get better for you!
it gets better, believe me. it sucks, and it gets worse too, but the highs are so much higher once you've made it thru the lows.
I think Kendrick feels a type of way about Wayne’s reaction, and I don’t blame him.
“Put your mask on for the covid bars we sick’ 😂😂😂 here’s my subscribe good sir.
This song came out on Friday and Kendrick mentioned the scene from Friday with the captain crunch and water. 😂😂😂😂😂 bruh
Also John F Kennedy assisnation😮
Also GNX is a word play for DMX. A side note ICE CUBE drop his album today 😂😂😂😂
@@andrec2696 no it isn't... It's the name of the car. Grand National X.
The reaction I was waiting for!
Kendrick is a chosen one, spiritually awake, we're entering aquarius, THE LIGHT OVER SHINES THE DARK FOR THE NEXT 20 YEARS, LET'S GOOOOOOO
Now that is how you open an album🔥🔥💯💯
The king is back❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Never left
The white comedian reference is a shot at Andrew Schulz when he dissed black women when Shxts n Gigs came on as a guest appearance.
The shot is to those two clowns that sat there laughing their asses off while some idiot dismantled their entire career.
I don't think that was big enough because why bring it up now he has said similar things way before then. Also, shxts and gigs are not big enough to catch a stray from kendrick when the song is based around artist. Maybe it is just a random shot at youtubers but doesn't seem to fit the theme of the song
Or Gary Owens
Cartoons and Cereal will FOREVER be my favorite song by Dot.
Knox the breakdown Goat. This album is a masterpiece .💪🔥🔥
His ‘they not like us’ mural at Tam’s was vandalized
Mr. Lamar has another classic album
Kendrick is the sickest bro I love this this is real hip hop
Woke up this morning as momma’s innocent kid 👶 after listen to this album GNX , I’m ViLLaiN now 😈
Kendrick's energy in this song is truly immense.
Your reactions and breakdowns are the best! Dot absolutely went nuts!
So actually someone DID vandalize Kendrick's literal mural in Compton! I took it to be very literal
Harlem New York here we loveeeeeee Kendrick and most of All we Loveeeeee REAL HIPHOP. This is where it all started from AND DOT IS CARRYING IT ON HIS BACK RIGHT NOW. He’s keeping alive why we all feel inlove with hiphop in the first place. We are United not divided❤❤❤❤❤✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾
No subliminals. Fk em up K Dot. I am loving the album ❤🔥
Going through your full album breakdown. This album is insane!! Thanks for your hard work Knox!! We all appreciate it!!
Covid Bars is crazy.. this was dope Knox
5:18 someone actually did defaced his mural that somebody painted in Compton for him
31.42...in FRIDAY Ice Cube was eating captain crunch and ran out of milk. Put some water on it
😂
WTF 😮
Wow. Good catch. Interesting! I don’t really know what to make of that since he dropped the same day as Cube… is it just a callout?
😂😂😂😂
WAITTTT😭😭😭
Woah! That last verse goes HARD!!! 🔥🔥🔥 The whole song is sick!!
The Muted couple of secs GONNA KILL SOMEONES CARRER i just know it.
Nah that's just about Diddy.
That was some very tense seconds
@knoxhill is the absolute GOAT of all time. Music reviews and especially lyrical breakdowns are always the best
Knox, the dictionary of rap 😅
Facts!!!!
