HipsteR AlshareF lmao 1 month old but really a 5 year old (or longer) album. almost like asking them to react to "Opposites Attract" after damn near a decade. IDGAF if Kendrick hates me. He been doing it and deserves the respect
Well I was wondering if it might be a reference to Dreams by Game, he references Nas in the line "sleep is the cousin of death, so my eyes wide open cos a dream is kin to your last breath". Maybe that's the dreamer reference?
This is one of my favorite songs ever. It has an incredible amount of depth showcasing Lamar's ability to story tell from different perspectives and his vulnerability as an artist. The production on this track is an excellent example of the musicality in Hip Hop. Thank you for reviewing this! 🤘👽❤️️
This is why you guys are in a different league yo anyone else. The way you broke it down line for line and added context. There's other people that reacted to this song and didn't catch any lines and just sat there. Barely even understand it. You guys are the masters of this. Great reaction
Only issue is that they take his words for a story, like a novel of someone else. They analyse and chuckle about it from a 3rd perspective, but they don't feel that he lived these moments from what I could tell. They speak in an upbeat tone, not like the morose and almost satirical overshadowing tune.
@@nemesis2359samidot is sung in the perspective of Dave’s brother and a girl that kendrick knew so idk what ur talking about. I may be wrong so pls correct me if i am.
"I'm not sure why I'm so infatuated with death" one of the realest quotes I've heard from Kendrick and I feel like its one of the foundations of his thought, that specific verse always reconnects with me every time I hear Kendrick on other tracks speaking on that dark topic
Its been known to be his FIRST Studio Album. He considers it a mix tape cause of how he distributed it, not for commercial or financial means.. he wanted the audience to feel him as an artist and see if they receive well to his project...which it did... some would say it shoulda been sold for profit. It woulda done well.
Osman idk your situation or anything but I’m glad you’re safe. There for sure are a lot of tough times that only music can help fix. I’m glad you found the right music to help you
I think the foster care girl's voice faded away shortly after she said she didn't need a doctor's approval because her health declined and she eventually died from her lifestyle, but I never considered that it could be that she withdrew from the people that care about her and became a sort of lost cause.
I interpret the fade away on Keisha's sister as saying she passed away living that life she was talking about. She said she would never fade away and then she starts to fade. Now these ppl live through Kendrick's stories
I'm a metal head but I listened to the local rap station for the hell of it for about 4 months. Kendrick is the only one that made it to my music library. He is on a whole other level.
Do you guys know how long I've been waiting for y'all to do this song? OMG. I love it. This song is my top three hip hop songs and the reason I fell in love with kdot in the first place
I'm so bad at understanding word play and metaphors etc in music in general. This is actually so helpful cause if you understand the deeper meaning to the song you appreciate it way more
I don't listen to hip hop, I only watch your metal/rock videos but I love this album, I started listening the album after listening to Swimming Pools, I was skeptic but I ended up buying it. The only Hip Hop album I own and like. Probably I need to listen more hip hop.
As a metal head Kendrick straight up got me into hip hop he’s probably the only artist I’ve actually listen to and gotten all his albums after that it would jcole and kid cud Logic and few more. But Kendrick has defenetly the biggest influence in my hip hop taste as far lyricism goes.
CONGRATS ON 500K. I love Kendrick Lamar. I remember discovering him through hearing the song Swimming Pools on the radio. I heard it around the time of when Good Kid Maad City was about to come out. I remember being very intrigued by the beat and his flow. So far, he hasn't disappointed me. To Pimp A Butterfly and Damn are pretty awesome. I can't wait to see what he will do next. It's been a while since I've listened to this song but it was nice to hear it again. Great song. Anyways, thanks for reacting to this song. Really enjoyed hearing your insight on this song.
the fading away is her dying. - "did i tell you i physically feel great?" "A doctor's approval is a waste of time, I know I'm straight I'll probably live longer than you and never fade away" Its similar to the ending of the 1st verse. She was wrong and she literally fades away.
Damn. You know what this reminds me of? You know those 90s movies whenever they did an epilogue or an ending where they showed what happened to the characters. The characters who died often faded away as well as there was a caption about them.
This song has aged BEAUTIFULLY. Kendrick is a POET. Probably the best of my generation, I’m 27 years old and I don’t think anyone will ever meet this level of poetry before I die. I can’t stress enough how talented he is, using language to tell a story about his life and the things that happen and have happened around him. His lyrics are SO POWERFUL.
Goosebumps. Amazing choice! Love this song; never hear much about it, always found that odd. A lesson in empathy for people like me outside this reality of others. Always makes me FEEL. Thanks for the review :).
Gail Morkel it annoys me that people don't talk about this song enough. But that's the music game. The more simple songs always become the biggest. Like humbe
*what a great way to celebrate 500k* ; it's been a goddamn long ride but I'm so happy for you guys! keep on going boys! (one of the greatest songs *ever* written in my opionion)
I swear to God I have to meet Kendrick Lamar before I die and he died. This song really spoke to me, his verse I could relate to it because I feel exactly like that, the mirror gets tougher to look at everyday and I just wanna make sure somebody sing about
The first part reminds me of the pain of losing my military buddy, second is my ex of how you can’t save someone if they aren’t willing to save themselves regardless of how much you love them. Pain. It’s what connects us all.
Your perspective and analysis on the lyrics, along with providing context, gives me a whole new appreciation for Kenny. I'm a recent fan of Kendrick Lamar and this was one of those jams that never quite grabbed me because his delivery took some getting used to. This video changed that and I'm revisiting Good Kid, MAAD City now. Keep up the fine work gentlemen!
Best song Kendrick ever made. That whole album is one of the most beautiful stories told through song, and he still found a way to make you want to play on it on the radio and your room with the blinds closed at the same time. Only Kendrick
I loved this reaction guys! I hope you also review I'm Dying of Thirst. That entire song gives me chills. The humming in the background, the drums, and the outro with the old woman initiating a prayer. so beautiful
The music also fades away because she said she'll never fade away. But she wasn't also forgotten about. This probably one of the best songs from Kendrick.
This is definitely my favorite Kendrick Lamar song. It's crazy how he comes up with these concepts. The song in itself has a narration, and is the perfect end track that ties to the bigger concept that is the whole album.
Production, great samples. Phenomenal storytelling, lyricsm. Great skits. A concept followed through from start to finish. Hit songs. Songs you can bump in the car. And his life story. Perfection man. This is his best album
Love how you guys always interpret these lyrics. Thank you for always showing the full picture. This track has healed my friends and I from the lives lost in our lives.
One of his greatest songs to date. Kendrick has so many review worthy tracks. To pick one from these would be appreciated.... Good Kid (still super relevant today) Ronald Reagan Era Cartoons and Cereal The Heart Part 3
Love the review! I wanna add something though, I think the "maybe cause I'm a dreamer and sleep is the cousin of death" line is him saying he has dreams as in aspirations for people to be better or have a better life, but his dreams are the cousin of death so it's almost hopeless. Like his dreams are trying to kill him or something because people either won't listen or the "system" is holding on too tight, keeping them down. Just what I get out of it, but I think you guys are right too considering what the line is surrounded by. Sleep is the cousin of death is also a famous Nas lyric that's been quoted everywhere, but you probably knew that.
Kendrick Lamar brings hope back to hip hop!! Best Rapper since the 90's! OG ❤❤ I love ya'll from the classic rock to the metal to the hip hop. I'm 42 and grew up on hip hop but was around ALOT of metal in school with some friends and have older siblings into the classic rock 80's. Other into old school 80's hip hop and the glam rock😂🤣😂😂 This channel is 🔥🔥🔥
a lot of music brings tears to my eyes. this is one of the nastiest story telling rap songs I’ve ever heard. just everything you need. kendrick is just really an amazing artist. can’t speak enough about him
The Jazz Tune Sampled In "Sing About Me" Was "Maybe Tomorrow" By Grant Green However, The Beat Selection Itself Was Sampled From "Use Me" By Bill Withers.
I love when yall dig in this deeper provocative rap songs. Please listen to Nosetalgia-Pusha T, Power-Rapsody w Kdot, Devil in a New Dress-Kanye, Stan-Eminem, Aquemeni-OutKast
The second verse is from the perspective of Keisha's sister (a continuation of Keisha's Song from Section.80) - It's an angry sister calling Kendrick out for writing a song about her sister. I love the depth of this song so much.
mannn I thoroughly enjoy you guys breakdowns of these songs along with your own ideas and thoughts thrown in, think you could do another Lupe Fiasco song(s)? more so from either Food & Liquor or The Cool. keep the great content coming fam!
I love the irony in the “never fade away” part. As she spills her doctrine, she continues to fade away trying to justify her actions, which makes her a lost cause not only to Kendrick, but also to what might inevitably happen to her in society. I like that attention to detail in the music. After all of the years hearing this song, I’ve recently picked up this interpretation . Great stuff!

The sampling on this song is actually mind blowing.

I'm dying of thirst is the second part of this song.
Isaiah Williams they should've reacted to that afterwards
bydecwhite ikr
I think they know, I think they just did the first part as it would’ve been longer otherwise
It's basically a separate song
@@utm0st not at all the narrative still goes
"Am I worth it? Did I put enough work in?" This gave me the most chills out of any song I've ever heard
yeah man :(
My question
The one I ask myself
"sleep is the cousin of death" is also a nod to Nas, who used that line in a song from illmatic (NY state of mind i think)
And then nas gives a nod to Kendrick in nasir so there's that full circle, Kendrick's made it
Well I was wondering if it might be a reference to Dreams by Game, he references Nas in the line "sleep is the cousin of death, so my eyes wide open cos a dream is kin to your last breath". Maybe that's the dreamer reference?
Which is ironic considering this album is pretty much a Compton equivalent of illmatic
Also in dance with the devil
I was about to say this

Would love to see a review of Rigamortis from Section 80

HOLY SHIT THEY REVIEWED ONE OF MY FAVORITE SONGS TO EVER EXIST
Section.80 is actually Kendrick’s debut studio album. good kid, m.A.A.d. city was his major label debut but Section.80 is his first album technically
Julian Garcia kdot considers it a mixtape.
Kendrick said it was a mixtape tho?
Its been known to be his FIRST Studio Album. He considers it a mix tape cause of how he distributed it, not for commercial or financial means.. he wanted the audience to feel him as an artist and see if they receive well to his project...which it did... some would say it shoulda been sold for profit. It woulda done well.
@@elijahcesar4149 still he says it's a mixtape it's a mixtape
Chris M not technically bro it’s listed as a album in his discography look at wiki
9:56 around this time she says I’ll never fade away and then Kendrick literally fades her out the track. Musical story telling 10/10
This album saved hip hop in my opinion
Saved me too
Facts after this you started to see more and more hip hop “albums” and not just rappers putting a bunch of singles together
Saved couple of lives too
Osman idk your situation or anything but I’m glad you’re safe. There for sure are a lot of tough times that only music can help fix. I’m glad you found the right music to help you
No. Kendrick saved hip hop.
Easily his greatest masterpiece ever created, thank you guys for helping others to appreciate this beauty too.
Isaiah Bernal possible, but debatable
I think maad city and some TPAB songs are as good but it definitely up there

Sleep is the cousin of death.
This line was taken from the song NY State of Mind - Nas
Ago Lmr *referenced, not taken
Smokey A2K It’s been around before NAS. It’s more like a general saying
My interpretation is that she faded away from aids as a doctors approval was a waste of time
Yes but it technically could have been anything.
Facts!
That is the beauty of ambiguity and what you can analyse from it.
Yea faded away as she’s walking away or she died from not going to the doctors
that or she transcended into irrelevance as all women like her became as they became trapped in a vicious cycle of prostitution
The Jazz Tune Sampled In "Sing About Me" Was "Maybe Tomorrow" By Grant Green However, The Beat Selection Itself Was Sampled From "Use Me" By Bill Withers.
Yo when y'all feel like reviewing a Kendrick song can you guys do U, been a long time fan love when y'all break down tracks

As she spills her doctrine, she continues to fade away trying to justify her actions, which makes her a lost cause not only to Kendrick, but also to what might inevitably happen to her in society. I like that attention to detail in the music. After all of the years hearing this song, I’ve recently picked up this interpretation . Great stuff!
I love the breakdown... keep reviewing concious hiphop.
You are amazing boys i waited so long for this. Now I am waiting for more LUPE FIASCO
We gotta reach the 1m subs now 😤😤😤
Loved this review. This track and Money Trees were the two songs that made me realize Kendrick is on his own level, and I’ve been a fan ever since.
This is his greatest work.
The second verse makes me wanna cry. Her being a lost cause and eventually dying from her reckless lifestyle. It makes me sad to think about.
selling yourself and losing all your dignity is still eccentric.
Did you know that’s Keisha sister?
Y’all did really good for being first time listeners. Amazing track and amazing reaction/ review
The production behind the beat and everything is crazy, it’s such a good song
This is the greatest poetry song of all time...no damn cap
Man sing about me is a gem
Love your first reactions, all feels right, no un-needed drama or “acting”
I interpret the fade-away as if Kenny is walking away because his intention was to help her, but she’s too damaged to even mend.
This is one of the all-time great hip-hop records. The flow on each one of the verses is FLAWLESS!!!
