You only liked TPAB because the person in the middle of the cover art was holding a Ridge Wallet.
I love melon's comment section
Omar R. He only digs the album cause he made this song ruclips.net/video/qlcJwZmT5Lw/видео.html
@@jakobkuylenstierna478 honestly same one of my favorite comments to read are here
I legit looked over the TPAB album cover with a magnifying glass after reading this.
@@Peanut_Arbuckle what was ur discovery babe?
Let's agree: People just come up with the dumbest takes just to be featured in the video.
Depression Cherry either that or they talk about very obscure bands trying to be quirky and end up being wrong anyway
Depression Cherry now thats a hot take i can agree with.
That "If you don't listen to rap, you're racist" take was so hot my ears have third-degree burns.
I...Agree
Yep
Bruh ‘To Pimp a Butterfly’, even without the context of the album (I.e., the whole point), still sounds like a cool rap album title. It’s funky fresh
Jack Gregg yes
To Kill a Mockingbird
funky fresh
not really but ight
@@evandrogge6399 yes really but aight
LET'S ARGUE: Fantano is a bad name because you aren't really a fan of anything, and you aren't tan at all.
Not funny, didn’t chuckle
he's not pale but not really tan either. your comment is pretty funny though
Death grips wanna know your location
His head is in the shape of an O tho
O!
Anthony, you don’t have to use the n-word, his name is Kendrick
These jokes will never get old for me.
These type of jokes always bring light to Fantano's comment section.
I dotnt get the joke
Kameraa what
rip alec r/woooosh
Let's agree. Melon should start doing outdoor intros again
I......... Agree
Hard Agree.
I’m already outside
With the bass
I... agree.
the title “to pimp a butterfly” has always reminded me of “to kill a mocking bird”
Me too, in the context of "its a sin to kill a mockingbird"
I think that’s what he was going for
In the interview that melon is referencing Kendrick says that the title is derived from to kill a mocking bird
Kendrick states this
Yes, that's where it comes from.
Let's argue: Lil Pump giving Anthony the n word pass does not count
Lol
Lets argue, it being put in music defeats the purpose of caucasian censorship. If they don't want it repeated don't put it in the music. Duh.

Ok let’s debate this
Ok mom
Alright Anthony, you're allowed to think that "To Pimp a Butterfly" sounds stupid, but NO, "To Whip a Black Guy" WOULD NOT be the superior title.
God these jokes are so fucking stale.

Lmfao what the hell
To pimp a butterfly is a stupid album title = i didnt listen to the album
I never listened to the album, but I never thought of it as a stupid title
pizza hut I think it’s quite beautiful 😌
Even if you u understand that it’s a metaphor, you gotta listen to the album to really know
The title is literally explained in the last track. It’s not even sung, Kendrick isn’t even rapping he’s telling you what it means. If you still don’t know how to interpret it you’re fucking stupid
@@connorwilliams6486 yep.
Why do we always have to argue with each other Anthony, the kids are crying you need to tone it down
The kids are faking it, stop running away from the problem sharol

Nah it’s more like 40 times
Its the they say it, so why cant we say it argument. And if they didn't want it being said, it wouldn't have had it in the music for it to be recited over and over again.

I'm not going to disagree on that but how great can that be when he's replacing it with blackface and saying things like "I look less out of place than a black man at a father's day event"
Let’s argue: Anthony secretly loved Father of Asahd.
The To pimp a butterfly name is also a play on the famous novel “To kill a Mockingbird” which is a whole story sporting examples of racism in the 1900s and prejudice against African Americans.
Anthony, thanks for taking my kids to school yesterday while I was at work. I really appreciate it

Pimping a butterfly doesn't sound very vegan fanthony
The strip with Calvin’s mum is actually seriously clever. I think it’s a joke on how telling a kid not to listen to music because it’s “evil” will only make them want to listen to it more.
Instead Calvin’s mum tells him that the bands are only pretending so Calvin no longer wants to listen to them because he doesn’t think it’ll annoy his parents
6:39 and I'm to believe you just *happened* to place yourself on *that* Tiny Desk screenshot in *that* spot? I mean damn, shots fired, the teef wars rage on.
I really don’t understand people hating on TPaB as a title. To me just reading it and not even knowing the context and deeper meaning of it, it still sounds poetic and unique.
Its literally the only thing they can hate about the album lol.
@@SkRiLeX3546 That's pretty subjective. But I'll take it.
Evil Deeds and “i”
@@SkRiLeX3546 damn you are dead on right
Evil Deeds The whole album has replay value to me, even though my favorite part of the album is the melody towards the end of “These Walls”. So yeah, it’s subjective.
Loved the video Melon but the part where you said you only gave TPAB a 10 because you thought Kendrick was white was a bit out of line
"To Pimp a Butterfly" is a great title that makes a lot of sense with and without listening to the album.
"To Pimp a Caterpillar" is a dumb title that just references Tupac because TUPAAAACCCC. The change was one of the best decision Kendrick made.
mariomcp ....you didn’t listen to the album...did you? Especially the last track....
I think this flew over most people’s heads, and I still haven’t quite unearthed everything that he was trying to say with the album....
He is reading his poems to Tupac throughout the album ..he finally asks Pac what he thinks and then ....
To pimp a caterpillar acutally makes sense though, TPAB does not. He’s implying that pimping a caterpillar is what makes a butterfly. TPAB is a much better name but it makes way less sense.
zBJoker Sneakers the butterfly part was because of how it has to do with Kendrick evolving from a caterpillar to a butterfly in the last leg of the album or something like that and how a butterfly is pretty and the industry would do anything to pimp it and use it for money.
"To Pimp a Butterfly" is saying when you become the top tier butterfly that you're meant to be, do you fold under the pressures of BEING a butterfly (#1 rapper).
"Tu Pimp A Caterpillar" stands more on the sense metaphor of Tupac going from Digital Underground (caterpillar) to All Eyez On Me (butterfly). During Tupacs come up in the biz, he was constantly being tried, broken, set up by the media but never folded. That's what pimping the caterpillar means.
The both make sense but only 1 makes sense without context.
Love how Anthony used a picture from Anderson .Paak’s tiny desk and framed it so Anderson was blocked out by the real best teeth in the game
I've never even listened to TPAB and I think it's an amazing title that gets across it's theme immediately.
But why haven't you listened yet
You should listen to it, you won’t regret it
@@lucky4696isMyPSNname I plan to at some point. 🅱️amthony 🅱️ambano's review sold it pretty well, so I'm curious to see if I like it. His review of that recent Idles album sold that album well too.

Pika InParis It kind of is though. They talk shit on anything that isn’t black metal, anyone they see who isn’t as cvlt as them they will bully and treat them like dirt, and they even do this within their own genre, if a band isn’t using 1000% distorted guitars and the lead singer isn’t screaming like a goat getting burned alive then they will go absolutely out of their way to hate the fuck out of said band, or hate on its fans as well.

Hey Anthony, great video, and it was super cool how you took the time to mention that we need to save the bee population in the middle of the video.
Let’s agree:fantano subscribers are probably the funniest fanbase on youtube
Let’s Argue: Death is BY FAR the best death metal band there has ever been, and deserves to be regarded in the same respect as Sabbath or Metallica. The influence they have on extreme metal to this day is huge, and it can not be understated.
Let's agree: we should all sell our possessions to buy more minimalistic wallets
Shoutout for including endless on your good mood building albums ✌️
It's really great to see Colors become a thing in the US. As a french rap fan, I've seen their audience go from francophones and other europeans to a very wide international community. Especially check out Sopico, Dinos or Isha on the channel, their music surely relies a lot on lyrics, but I think you can enjoy it even as a non-french-speaker
Anyone else draw any parallels with to kill a mockingbird?
Lol. But yes. TO PIMP A BUTTERFLY IS THE TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD OF MUSIC CONFIRMED!! Hmmmm... I wonder what To Pimp A Butterfly's first draft was like. Guess we'll have to pry it out of old ass, mentally declining Kendrick's barely there head.
Make a 10 years anniversary review of "By The Throat" by Eyedea and Abilities
a new fantano video is always a blessing 😇
Two things: One, I always associated the TPaB title as a reference to Alexander Pope’s “Who breaks a butterfly upon a wheel?”
Second, if post-ambient music is silence, then John Cafe was composing post-ambient music in 1952, some 27 years before Zeno coined the term ambient music.
Just putting those out there…
I'd be happy to discuss the details of my hit take with you some time, should the opportunity arise 🤘

The title question always being first throws me off a little because I usually tune out for the first couple of questions until it’s more likely to show up
@ ~11:29 what's the album that's not Replica or Virgins?
Let’s argue: Music that’s a little badly produced and recorded has more replay value. I think it’s cause you often have to grow on it and it often makes it harder to learn the lyrics, making every listen interesting and fresh.

let's argue: bring back cal chuchesta's favorite of the year, or there will be consequences
If someone agrees with lil xan about tupac's music being boring... Let's be honest, they don't even like old school rap in general because the majority of the artists sang with a similar type of rhythm and flow. They just find them repetitive, which makes it boring cause they're used to hard and fast beats and poor lyrics
I agree with the “not liking the old school rap in general” but the rest you said I was like… wayment ✋
Cause I could say the same thing about this new gay rap
I know, it's just in that case
I think the bass introduction to an episode is a perfect intro taking the Melon's voice specifications. If it was guitar, it should've been tuned low siding to bass we're been treated so frequently
melon in that pink shirt had me drooling
Just flat out linking disliking hip hop with inherent racism seems like a really big stretch to me.
Niketas Delgato its a really old concept with slurs to boot but with so many different ethnic groups included these days its a little less prevalent
