first time I saw him was a mac miller record, the video was an entire experience lol. sometimes i forget almost anything can evolve and get better, it just takes some thinking outside the box. i appreciate this dude so much
This is definitely an album that grows in appreciation with every listen even 10 years later, so I'm happy you finally got to listen to it and can enjoy it for 10 more years too
its probably my favorite on the album, besides for Sing about me. The lyricism, the beat, the pharell ft, kendricks vocal inflection and his delivery are absolutely perfect. Absolute goosebumps.
I think it's probably my favourite song on the album too though i find it hard to really pick. My favourite verse is jay rock's verse on money trees though. Really killed the feature
I really don't understand why you don't get the traction of other channels, honestly the amount of effort and the quality of the video is amazing. It doesn't feel just like a reaction, its almost a comedy remix / reaction
Agreed. My honest thought right now is that I just need to accept the situation. People want lyric analysis. Me just sitting and talking about the songs. It's a shame that people don't think I can do that... or rather don't think I care about lyrics. I've written lyrics my whole life! I could easily talk about lyrics! I have just chosen not to due to my belief that lyrics are subjective (even to the lyric writer). One camera. Talk about lyrics. Limited editing. Job done! I suppose I just like to make things difficult for myself? The difficulty elevates the genre. I'm sure someone will take my ideas and run with them! I'm a cult! 'Cult' I say! :-)
I’ve watched a lot of reaction channels over the years. The number one complaint I’ve seen on anyones channel is when they talk over the songs or miss parts of the song/lyrics that the person watching the reaction really wants to see a reaction to. His style of reacting just isn’t going to appeal to a lot of people that want him to pay attention to every lyric and the entirety of a song. Speaking throughout the entire piece of music is going to turn a lot of people off, especially when they want to see a reaction to a very particular piece of the song they connect with. I’ve grown to like his style, it is its own unique piece of art and a reaction experience you can’t find anywhere else. However, I can’t pretend not to understand why it wouldn’t appeal to a larger audience when sometimes is can miss why people watch reactions in the first place. He might not garner as much mainstream appeal doing what he does, but he will acquire a more loyal audience that really “gets” and appreciates his style and own art that he contributes to the reaction itself. In the end I’d argue that could matter more depending on his goals and the mark he wants to imprint onto the reaction world. He’s the only one I’ve seen that can’t be replicated.
@@mercurialno6 if you're interested/have time Amazon prime have a full Kendrick concert from his current tour, performed in Paris, which would be worth checking out.
To think that the editing in one of the best edited channels on RUclips just keeps getting better and better. Every Mercurial upload is a treat and a vibe. Incredible.
The more you dive into the lyrics and discover what’s happening in the story makes it 100x better. Especially for songs like art of peer pressure, maad city and sing about me, there’s so much depth to them it’s unbelievable.
I feel like I almost never see reactions truly enjoy music and have such a good time as you! love the effort and energy you’re putting into your videos
Cheers! I don't know how much further I can take it? But that's the challenge. And I like rising to a challenge. I think I can progress the genius-o-meter... maybe.
I'm not one to comment on videos, but I had to just for your remarkable and unfortunately underappreciated content. Keep up the amazing work for us music fanatics!
@@mercurialno6 This is true. Speaking of which, you gotta check out some more JPEGMAFIA! You seemed to really adore All My Heros Are Cornballs a couple years ago. Black Ben Carson, Veteran, LP!(Offline Version) are all *TOP TIER SOUND EXPERIENCES!*
I find that people often only really 'analyse' lyrics on any music I listen to. Such a shame as so much effort goes into the overall sound. People should probably just read books! :-)
@@mercurialno6 yeah man, finally people get to see/hear all the intricate levels Tht Kendrick be having in his music, I mean with every listen you notice something different
30 seconds in to this video i can already tell you have put an absolutely ludicrous amount of work into it. Been waiting for the GKMC reaction for years at this point. one of mf favorite albums, and definitely my favorite "reactor" :) although i know you dont like that term.
This album’s concept, cadences, and lyricism are often the first things to be praised when ppl rave about it (and rightfully so), but the production choices are so iconic as well. From the reverse Beach House sample on Money Trees to the pitch shifting on m.A.A.d city…even the different fusions of sampling, live instruments, and electronic instruments compliment the themes of hypermasculinity, lust, vulnerability, violence, youth, and compton/west coast culture purposefully laced throughout the album. Such a fucking treat.
I AM ABSOLUTELY LOVING THESE CLASSIC REVIEWS. Thank you for doing what you do! You've hit all the greats besides Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) by Wu-Tang Clan ;)
I love watching your reactions because I get to experience that feeling when you suggest a good album to someone that you know hasn't heard it before and they dig it. its a good feeling. btw I recommend any album by Nujabes - Many people have compared him to J Dilla and for pretty good reason.
What a great reaction. Can't wait to see what comes next and bring on the pay-site. Who knows how many great bits we've missed from other albums already!
Listening to the 10th Anniversary edition vinyl. What an album! When you've finished this video check out ruclips.net/video/_hsd1CiYA4k/видео.html my reaction to TPAB. Like a piece of history now! The full version of this 'good kid m.A.A.d city' reaction is at www.patreon.com/mercurialno6 I need to venture into 'charging money' because as perhaps you've noticed, these videos are becoming increasingly epic in audio/visual editing scope!!! Far beyond 'man listens to music'. Fully transformative. Thank you for watching. Please suggest another album for me to listen to below. I may well stick with the gameshow format... determining, via a reaction, whether an artist deserves God-Like-Genius status! For me... I think I've stepped up the reaction game here. Like a reaction, review and gameshow rolled into one! Ha ha! And I'm already as old as everyone's dad - so there will be none of that cannon-fodder going on here! ;-)
A few tips if I may: - Do more reactions, hip-hop (and not only) is filled with marvelous sounds. React to more mainstream rappers to increase your fanbase, like Joey Bada$$, ASAP Rocky, Wiz Khalifa.. - Make polls so we can vote what will it be the next reaction. - Include mixtapes, the Travis and Tyler ones are very good, for example. - Keep up the good work, you're cool. (please do consider listen to James Blake Self Titlted (if you haven't already), you will not regret it)
Incredible work Mr. Mercurial! Indeed you definitely went to another level of editing with this video 😲 Utterly engaging from start to finish. Like Good Kid, this video was 4-D. Whenever a Genius point was earned, the darkness of the tone was funny af to me. Top tier review as always!
Definitely do a patreon, maybe put videos up there uncut and early, maybe a couple of weeks before youtube, and then you can advertise it at the start of each video. Take polls from there and stuff like that too.
While you may have heard this, online will tell you the concept album has a story but the songs are randomized so the story is out of order. There is a "true" way to listen to the story that articles will show you. He did this similarly on his album DAMN., in which he told everyone the album was actually supposed to be listened from ending to beginning to understand the story.
17:30-17:45 was so perfectly timed I love when that happens by accident, you have a great ear for music though and I’ve seen you time things ahead of time before so maybe it isn’t an accident 😅
I just rewatched that bit and, yes, that was complete coincidence. However, I do tend to talk and move on the beat... so it does allow those kinda things to happen!
Path and Mercurial Number Six are the best reaction channels, they put in so much effort into what they do. Edit: Mercurial World by Magdalena Bay is needed simply cause of the name.
Dude the amount of effort you consistently put into these videos is frankly unbelievable. Just know it does not go unappreciated ❤️
Thank you. I genuinely appreciate the sentiment! :-)
Bro is goated right next to Big Quint
@@mercurialno6Indeed.
You have re-invented the reaction format. Amazingly creative video
reaction/review/gameshow Ha ha! :-)
first time I saw him was a mac miller record, the video was an entire experience lol. sometimes i forget almost anything can evolve and get better, it just takes some thinking outside the box. i appreciate this dude so much
This is definitely an album that grows in appreciation with every listen even 10 years later, so I'm happy you finally got to listen to it and can enjoy it for 10 more years too
Cheers. I will be listening to this album a whole lot more!
Even though I've listened to this album a billion times your reactions always add a new dimension to my experience of it. Keep up the good work sir!
Cheers. :-)
Glad you loved Good Kid as much as I did. Definitely feel like that song is underrated in comparison to the other tracks!
Fantastic song. Probably the best song on the album.
@@mercurialno6 yesss! I’m glad we share the same opinion. Probably my favourite Kendrick track ever.
its probably my favorite on the album, besides for Sing about me. The lyricism, the beat, the pharell ft, kendricks vocal inflection and his delivery are absolutely perfect. Absolute goosebumps.

@@mercurialno6 just give it time, no doubt in my mind that this channel with such amazing content isn’t gonna grow
@@mercurialno6 Everyone talks about lyrics, it’s refreshing to see a purely musical & vibey reaction

Just saw Kendrick live at the O2 last week; generational artist in my opinion.
Cool! I'm envious!
same on what day? I went on wednesday
@@sweezy6613 ayy so did I, awesome show
@@sweezy6613 yeah I went Wednesday too
@@mercurialno6 if you're interested/have time Amazon prime have a full Kendrick concert from his current tour, performed in Paris, which would be worth checking out.
Sing about me, I'm dying of thirst never fails to give me chills
Your reactions help me rediscover my appreciation for these albums
Cheers. I like it when people say this! Makes it seem worthwhile! :-)
To think that the editing in one of the best edited channels on RUclips just keeps getting better and better. Every Mercurial upload is a treat and a vibe. Incredible.
Thank you. Much appreciated. :-)
Hell yeah I asked for this album since it just turned 10 years old and he actually did it 😁
It was all down to you. :-)
The more you dive into the lyrics and discover what’s happening in the story makes it 100x better. Especially for songs like art of peer pressure, maad city and sing about me, there’s so much depth to them it’s unbelievable.
production on this is insane. brilliant. just grand. thanks for your hard work as always, super enjoyable video
Thank you very much. :-)
and somehow he continues to improve the edits more and more with each upload
Thank you. The effort doesn't necessarily get me any more views... but I am certainly becoming a pretty good audio/video editor! :-)
@@mercurialno6 Your hard work and effort will pay off tenfold this is too good to go unnoticed!
My first video of yours was TPAB! What a journey it has been to get to here🎉🎉
It has indeed been quite a journey. My lack of research always leaves me a little under-powered... but I really am a proper fan of rap music now. :-)
The editing on this was amazing
Cheers. Check out my Instagram (mercurialno6) if you haven't already for photos of the edit in progress. It was monumental!
A lot has happened since 2012, can't believe this album is that old. Incredible reaction, looking forward to the next!
:-)
Damn, all that's missing are the bonus tracks, those are amazing as well. Still gonna watch cause you the GOAT tho 😤 Much love!
:-)
Hearing that gatefold yell again warms my heart 🤘🤘
Ha ha! Yes! :-)
never ever stop! the best music reactor on this website and the editing is top notch fair play you’ve done it again mr 6
Cheers mate. Much appreciated!
I feel like I almost never see reactions truly enjoy music and have such a good time as you! love the effort and energy you’re putting into your videos
You get it. A video about enjoying music. A kinda pretend communal experience. It's not supposed to be difficult! Cheers! :-)
you have pretty much mastered the album reaction video. love these videos the execution is so good
Cheers! I don't know how much further I can take it? But that's the challenge. And I like rising to a challenge. I think I can progress the genius-o-meter... maybe.
Best reaction videos on youtube, more passion than any other channel I’ve seen
Cheers. :-)
HES BACK AND WITH SUCH A BANGER TOO?!??!?
(also your editing style is so unique and chaotic it really fits your videos perfectly)
Fantastic album. Lived up to the multiple requests over the years!
I'm not one to comment on videos, but I had to just for your remarkable and unfortunately underappreciated content. Keep up the amazing work for us music fanatics!
Thank you. I appreciate it. I think views are inversely proportional to effort! But comments like this keep me going. :-)
Wow, im actually shocked you haven't heard this one yet! This is very exciting for me
Still a million classic albums that I've yet to ever hear! /which is a good thing for someone doing a 'reaction' channel! :-)
@@mercurialno6 This is true. Speaking of which, you gotta check out some more JPEGMAFIA! You seemed to really adore All My Heros Are Cornballs a couple years ago. Black Ben Carson, Veteran, LP!(Offline Version) are all *TOP TIER SOUND EXPERIENCES!*
Crazy visuals, keep up the good work :-)
Cheers! :-)
each of ur reactions are a whole ass experience. have a good day man, genuinely.
Cheers! :-)
Hope this video blows up,you really need more recognition for your amazing edits and album reviews❤️
Well, it's not looking too good at the moment... but I quite like that we're almost a secret cult! :-)
This was the first vinyl I ever got so seeing you finally reacting to it was a treat!
Classic album. Cheers!
On the list of albums I wish I could unlisten and listen to again for the 1st time, this is up there.
That would be a good topic for a podcast/video.
Brother, you've put so much effort into leveling your videos up and it doesn't go unnoticed! Tuning in for EVERYTHING from now on :)
You get it. Cheers mate! :-)
this is television level of quality your the best man (: (great album aswell art of peer pressure is my personal favorite!)
i fucking love this format please keep this going the levels of genius is genius
I will always try my best. Thanks for the compliments. :-)
Congrats on 100k subscribers dude 🔥
Thank you very much. :-)
such a great reaction! reminds me of when I first heard this
Easy album to 'react' to. Great stuff.
I feel like Kendrick's insane lyricism overshadows the amazing production on this album, glad you enjoyed it
I find that people often only really 'analyse' lyrics on any music I listen to. Such a shame as so much effort goes into the overall sound. People should probably just read books! :-)
@@mercurialno6 yeah man, finally people get to see/hear all the intricate levels Tht Kendrick be having in his music, I mean with every listen you notice something different

He should hire you as a publicist! :-)
the reaction/discussion meta is evolving and the 3 leaders are Bob the Poppop, path, and The Mercurial Number Six
Nice
So fun and creative, great video mr mercurial keep it up
Thank you!
congrats on 100k mr. mercurial very deserved sir
Thank you. :-)
This is a fantastic reaction honestly
Thank you. I try to provide entertainment. Not everyone understands that! Thank you. :-)
I love the 2000s infomercial editing.
money trees is probably my favourite song ever, recently saw him at the 02 and it was incredible.
I was with someone a couple of days ago who was at the 02 gig and they agree with you about how incredible it was!
Man I love you so much, the heart you put in these
I chucked the kitchen sink and a variety of birds at this one! :-)
@@mercurialno6 lol my english is not good enough to understand that one but I feel what you meant anyway

I'll get there in the end! :-)
Love the editing on this, so out there and unique for a reaction video, so dope.

the number 1 greatest concept review. hell yes MN6, hell yes.

Looks like you had a really fun time making this one. Love to watch videos like this. Glad you enjoyed
Cheers. :-)
In Business Right now can’t wait to watch when I get home. You just made my week
My pleasure!
You have instantly risen to the top of my “Coolest people in the world” list. Great Vid
Ha ha! Cheers. :-)
Tx for this. Mercurial just invented the concept yt video. All yt videos prior to this have been conceptless
Ha ha! Yes!!!
Love your vids man keep them coming.
I think with Kendrick, To Pimp A Butterfly is Kendrick's best album but good kid, m.A.A.d city is my personal favourite
Best music reacting channel on RUclips!
OMG THE GOAT IS BACK !
It's good to be here. :-)
Good kid is unreal.
Oh fuck man, I’m not fucking prepared for this. EVERYTHING about this is right.
This one was a lot of effort! A lot!!!! :-)
@@mercurialno6 I can see that very clearly, thank you for this!🦋
I can tell your passion for music!! its refreshing
Thank you. :-)
Awesome video :) I had the joy of watching him live recently
Cool! :-)
Wow, you do so many things to make the video higher quality! much appreciated.
You get it! Thank you. :-)
I just discovered your channel and I have to say you are one of a kind, and the editing is so fun! Instant sub
Welcome! :-)
This is the best review I’ve ever seen…..
This is the best comment I've ever read...
I love watching your reactions because I get to experience that feeling when you suggest a good album to someone that you know hasn't heard it before and they dig it. its a good feeling.
btw I recommend any album by Nujabes - Many people have compared him to J Dilla and for pretty good reason.
Well, I would likely love anything that has a Dilla vibe... although I also need to listen to more Dilla! :-)
the bonus tracks on the deluxe are an absolute must!
Yes, The Streets! You should do a kinda reaction or review playing the album like Original Pirate Material
I did do the opening track once but, yeah, the whole album would be cool!
This is the longest charting hip-hop album of all time. Glad you experienced it sir, we appreciate your videos and musical intellect 🎶🫡
:-)
Wow! This editing is so insane! I can’t even imagine how many hours went into this video.. Calling it a “reaction video” would be a disservice.
Yes, I need to try and avoid that label now. I think the music is reacting to me!
Wake up babe new Mercurial Number Six reaction just dropped
:-D
Just saw Kendrick live last night, one of the best nights of my life
Awesome! :-)
