Yeah, maybe because it was before social media, but Wayne got washed by Pusha T and Jay Z. Plus, modern Wayne, even though he still can spit, is a shell of who he was at his prime. If this was 2007ish I could maybe entertain that argument more. But with that along with how Kendrick has navigated this whole beef and post beef tells me Kendrick would completely wash him. And that's no disrespect to Wayne, he will forever be a GOAT and legend, but we have to keep it real. lol
@@YerpDerp17i Dont no Dot may be Slaying wayne, but wayne one of, or may be the most influencing rappers in the new era. Recollect waynes albums in his prime while dude was like 15. For sure i Know more Kendirck songs but thats just my ear and all. Lil wayne has been the father of new school rap and ofc the mumble shii. I love dot but Wayne goota be top 3 all time We have Battle Rappers out here who would wipe that floor with Dot. Gatti.Roc, Clips. Whole lotta more to wipe with Dot. Still Dot be the one and only to bring the smoke. We had no one on that timing. and everybody think he the coldest just because he dropped a couple tracks on drake, the lil owl. Dot Picking on a Popstar and the whole industry. its aight but still he demanding respect from every set and every hood all over hte world like he the one. yea you cool but you are not MLK or smt.
Pops: explaining references to other hip hop icons, talks about Kendrick representing different cultures and sets of Compton and influences of west culture. Josh: 😶 I give it a 9
I’m 48 & can’t stand this rap today. I stopped listening to it years ago. This battle introduced me to Kendrick. I went from album one binge watching videos, & researching him… now I absolutely love & will listen to only Kendrick. Thank you Drake.
It was so cool to see your dad break everything down that he recognized and share some musical history with me that I had no idea about. It just goes to show that Kendrick had something for the old and new generation in this mv. Super cool.
Reactions with older generations should show Kendrick haters why he's able to get so many people interested in listening. Always a lot of throwback references
@@DiningWithDiego im not even from cali, west coast, or the US - and I still enjoyed every minute of it and caught a couple references myself. Real sincerity reaches all and is universal, even if the references and language might not be.
So many Cali & Cultural References! Kendrick is 37 (year younger than Drake). Love that your Dad gets it. -Kendricks belt is homage to Pac in that famous photoshoot naked in the bathtub by David LaChapelle (1996) -The Roots The Next Movement is the Room background -Number 16 on the back of the kids shirt hanging on the Cali Sign for the friends Kendrick said he lost in “Wacced Out Murals” -ICE-T’s Power Album Cover with the Naked lady with the gun -Nate Dogg Homage with CD spinning. Crooked I appreciated it -Balloons for Drake’s Children Reveal (13 Yr Son & 11 Yr Daughter) I suppose -African American Flags/EbonyPrince Mole -Little kid riding green machine is from Menace II Society “Caine’s Death” scene -Black Moses aka Issac Hayes standing in front of Black Jesus Paintings. Hiii Power TDE News account tweeted about that Issac having a double disc release so we know another album is coming. Notice all the scenes clear out yet Issac Hayes is the only one that stays while Kendrick is dancing around and ending the song and then the banner unravels about the Christmas Parade. If you google the pic, it’s a double album & I saw this somewhere already the title “Nation” was showing up as under one site in Kendrick’s discography -All the Pop Out Concert Artists like Cuzzos & SMAC. Cuzzos look like they’re posing at a Mall* in front of the background drop. -Soul Train with Possible Album clues scrambled on board (Latin translation of “Omina Est Aliquid” is “Everything Means Something.” The rest cant figure out) -Compton Christmas Parade Sign- Album Dec 14th Drop? I was also hoping 12 Visuals for “12 Day of Christmas” so maybe he drops 1 video each day for all the tracks
@@crystalro4425 Yes, but Only mentioned the baby shower because there’s new lyrics and they touched their belly at a certain part & it was synched right before he says baby. Also since the scene before, he’s sitting with pink & blue balloons
Hey am I tripping but he also referenced to me Lil Jon & Ying U and Twins. They in the club bumping. I haven't seen anyone mention it so I just got to point it out for all who never experienced those days! Kendrick Lamar definitely does jigsaw puzzles in his free time.
The pictures of black Jesus would be found in every black grammas house back in the day. And Isaac Hayes was known as Black Moses. The exact picture in kdot's video was on the Isaac Hayes album cover. When he wasn't sure who Nate Dogg was I wanted to cry. 😅❤
For my non-LA buddies, the street names and numbers are just a freeway sign from the 105 West that runs through Compton. That "Central" is the same as the "From Alondra down to Central" in not Like US.
Pops right, its always US that want to pent artist against one another. Josh definitely didn't know half of what was going on in the video lol. Teach em pops!
I’m 72 and I’m a new fan my played the whole Butterfly lp and I love how his music remind of how Tupac had different meaning for the longest I didn’t know me and my girlfriend was a gun he was talking about I’m from the Bay Area but been living in Atlanta for 7 yrs since my husband passed so it good to see and hear that West Coast plus he has Richie Rich and other Bay Area rappers on his new Lp great job your father gave a reaction
@3:14 they actually did do a track together. mona lisa. it’s a banger fr and everyone wanted a live performance of it but wayne said he doesn’t even know/remember the lyrics lmao
This is what makes y’all’s channel magic. Pops was clockin’ references! - Whenever y’all do the Kendrick deep dive and he watches “King Kunta” or “Father Time” it’s a wrap! 😅
I'm revisiting the old videos from earlier this year and I'm happy and proud that Josh doesn't stop and interrupt as much as before lol he listens more now. Thank you for your wisdom Pops
POPS!! I been waiting on YOU at the DOOR ALL DAYYYYY... There are so many CLASSIC REFERENCES ... YOU are my top 5 favorite K Dot reactors ik you say you're a beginner kendrick catalog connoisseur but you are destined for greatness. Your son has a lot to learn lol but God knew what he was doing making him yours. But pops there's no celebrating Hip Hip trying to omitt battling lol you gonna have to learn to appreciate the cultural impact of disses bc it's a musical and artistic expression the dozens... ik you know the historical importance of that Game lbs
Yay Pops caught that Darlene Ortiz reference. She is currently the female co-host on the 5150 Podcast with Corey Holcomb. She dated Ice-T back in the day.
Drake is not on Kendrick, Cole, or Wayne level bruh. Have you forgotten already how that mindset turned out for him?😂😂😂 his ghost writers couldnt even compete
One of the most incredible things this channel has provided us with is the live-action journey of Pops becoming a Dot fan. ❤ I love you guys & it's been an incredible journey (and an incredible year for rap in general!). Amazing reaction. 🥰
The way I got so excited when the album dropped because pops might post a reaction 😌 I love how well you explain and take the time to embrace every detail!!
I truly appreciate Pop's breakdown for his old school knowledge.
100% Pop knowledge is elite and appreciative!!!
Facts
He even knew girls name was Darlene from the Ice-T album lol
nah fr, he adds so much
Pop's and I are on the same page 100%
Pops got his popsicle, We got a Kendrick reaction. Life's good.
😂😂
Pops was feigning for it when they reacted to the album
💯
I stg he always got a freezie, they gotta sponser them atp
“that little rascal” has me crying
Every time!!!
Lol. Love it
I hollered when he said it and kept saying it😂.
Pops remind of my uncle's and older cousins his age
😅😂..But He Is..👍🏾💯💯💯
Pops was ready to jump ot his seat when he saw the Ice-T homage
It's crazy i was listening to Ice-T all last week on Spotify 😂
Watching your pops becoming a big KDot fan has been dope lmao
Yo facts 😆
Wayne isn't a battle rapper and admitted so. Kendrick would slide him.
Yeah, maybe because it was before social media, but Wayne got washed by Pusha T and Jay Z. Plus, modern Wayne, even though he still can spit, is a shell of who he was at his prime. If this was 2007ish I could maybe entertain that argument more. But with that along with how Kendrick has navigated this whole beef and post beef tells me Kendrick would completely wash him.

And double back stop playing
@@doublecupjohnson2771You just spouted a whole buncha nonsense 😂
I agree, and Wayne has been my fav rapper for DECADES. but him and kendrick - they're different levels individually
Pops: explaining references to other hip hop icons, talks about Kendrick representing different cultures and sets of Compton and influences of west culture.
Josh: 😶 I give it a 9
Embarrassing
Josh barely be listening. 😂 We’re listening though. Keep it going.
7:10 Pops got it! Yep, Power. Ice-T made “Colors” in homage to gang culture.
it's cuz he's still young lol
@@ja_right😂😂
that lil rascal is such a genius
t shirts please
‘THAT LITTLE RASCAL
IS SUCH A GENIUS’
Gen Z missing ALL the Black references lol
They lost… too much integration
@@mrs.spicer Or they just aren't old lol. I highly doubt you'd get the references that oldheads in the 70s would make about the 30s.

You still young my boy
@ truly 🙏🏽🙏🏽
He’s ass.

@ If you listen to Lendrick over Drake, you’re missing out on way better quality music 😂
You don’t understand how lucky you are dawg. Lost my pops before birth. Its a beautiful thing to share moments like this. Glad to have found yall
Right? I’d kill to have a pops like that
I knew your Pops was not gonna disappoint. He would know the references on sight 👏👏
It was so cool to see your dad break everything down that he recognized and share some musical history with me that I had no idea about. It just goes to show that Kendrick had something for the old and new generation in this mv. Super cool.
This is why I love watching Pops, always insightful
Reactions with older generations should show Kendrick haters why he's able to get so many people interested in listening. Always a lot of throwback references
🤌🏾
Because y’all are brainwashed and delusional.
Pops is amazingly intuitive. Deep thinker. Comes with maturity. Love you both. Son? You’re so lucky!
6:55.... "oh im looking" 😂😂
Unc got excited too 💀😂
Pops is awesome educating his boy. Thank you Kendrick for the homage to the hip hop culture.
KENDRICK for the win!
Pops gotta do his own reactions, his takes are spot on.
Pops was 10 for 10!! I loved his reaction.. "That little rascal is such a genius" :)
Pops knows a lot, i appreciate his knowledge of the old school cos some thing i didn't understand
Kendrick is for the culture . This video was truly for the real hip hop heads. I can’t stop smiling
Relax. The song is mid and the video is even worse.

No that is the Bay Area hyphy movement. Known for going dumb hence the book.
Yall gotta do a Good Kid m.A.A.d City album reaction. Pops would really love him after that. It's the REAL introduction to who Kendrick is.
the nucleus of K. Dot to be sure ... Section .80 hard ASF as well though , and real world his 1st Studio Album release July , 2011 .

I watched this just because I knew your dad would know the Ice T Darlene reference. He came thru! These young reactors let me down!
6:20 lmao thought pops was reacting to the yams 😂
😂
I came just to see Pops recognize and breakdown Kendrick’s genius!! My son was just as lost as Josh. 😂
I have really enjoyed watching pop's admiration for Kendrick grow over time!
Kendrick was born in 1987. The Buick GNX was only made that year. It was an experimental car and only in black. 😎
Damn🔥🔥🔥🔥
That Menace 2 Society kid 👌🏾. Kendrick's Pulitzer prize mind!
See I knew it looked familiar😭Genius ✊🏾
Oooohhhh wow didn't even catch that
Pops is so intellectual and I love it
Fr tho, it’s interesting to listen
Pops right, its always US that want to pent artist against one another. Josh definitely didn't know half of what was going on in the video lol. Teach em pops!

"lil wayne the greatest rapper of all time " ...I made the same face as pops! 🤣 I love how this channel speaks for us old heads too
The kid really needs to study rap history...lol
Maybe I'm the only one, but I truly think LIl Wayne's rap sounds like ABC, 123.
Yes pops teach the young ones about music and culture 🎶 🎶
Omg pops knows everythingggg I love it
Kendrick Lamar is 37, same age as me. I grew the same year as him, jcole, drake, bow wow, Soulja boy etc... 86- #89 babies we are the best💯🔥💪

Perfect combination and love how he caught the Ice T cover.
the fact that i have a bunch of pics with me and my friends with that heart drop makes me so damn happy, socal and funk was it in the 90s
School em pops!! Keep them recipes alive!
Come through pops with the knowledge 🙌 Someone said Kendrick is a generational artist & i agree
I'm a dad, I love pops. Brings good knowledge. 👍
Drake is not on Kendrick, Cole, or Wayne level bruh. Have you forgotten already how that mindset turned out for him?😂😂😂 his ghost writers couldnt even compete
He's young, so he doesn't understand. It's a popularity contest for the young folks; I don't think they understand true art and lyrist.
REINCARNATED 🔥🔥
Pops version on every episode is the best.
Pops is a true servant of hip hop
Pops "little rascal" analogies are crazy funny . Congrats on y'alls successes . ~ Da West
He put RJ Mr. LA, G Perico & Cuzzos in the vid. That's what's up, Dot.
Kendrick all day long the Goat
“He represents and respects all sets, and all sets represent and respect him”
Ronald Reagan Era - “But they fuck with me and bitch I love it”
I love how pops just give his proper knowledge as an og, I'm only here for that. Boi you should listen too him.
I love your dad's reaction. His enjoyment was infectious and his knowledge is great.

The little boy on the big wheel is a reference to Menace 2 Society
Look at the aesthetics of the first dancer's attire as well. Very much a throwback...even the hairstyle! This is ao great!
Love Pop's breakdown!!
The way I got so excited when the album dropped because pops might post a reaction 😌 I love how well you explain and take the time to embrace every detail!!
The wire coat hanger😂😂😂😂😂. 80s baby all day. 44 years old next month
I think the gang scene was an ode to Nipsey Hussle.
Best reaction for this video. Go Pops!
I wish bro would interact with his pops and act like he cares for once lol
Kendrick all day, Wayne is not a battle rapper he will get destroyed
5:43 THIS THAT REAL BAY AREA SHIT. THE SCRAPPER BIKES, HYPHY MOVEMENT AND THE AFRICAN AMERICAN FLAGS. REAL TOWN SHIT YEEE
Pops dropping knowledge, son bothered by notifications
Can we talk about how your pops is sooo accurate with his reference breakdowns , I love seeing him react ,he's definitely a hip-hop head!!
the freeway sign tells you would either be on the 105 fwy or the 91 fwy headed EAST. gotta be from cali to know that
Pops is everything! Kendrick is the GOAT glad he’s becoming a fan!
U can see what kendrick is doing just by the way pops is pausing more and recognizing more than my boy josh and it’s working🤷🏻♂️😂
As soon as I saw the lady I screamed " ICE-T!!!"
That freeway sign is the exit on the 105 to get to Compton- South East LA folx know- it’s a nod to us locals. ❤
Yesir....... make a right you're going to Compton, make a left you're going to Watts. Hub and the Dub!
Shoutout yall. Much love n respect
pops the first reactor to pick up the ice T reference hahaha
I he so frustrated with Pops when he ask Josh, do you know that, I be yelling NO HE DON'T, that boy don't do no research
He just there 😂
