I'm here on the first day of the year to reminding my gah damn self about what we got in US!!!!!!!! If y'all need a reminder at all this year of who U are come back to this comment and just press play. "You got Loyalty....

On his interview on the People's Party, he says he basically learned his part in a few days and hadn't even heard the song before accepting the role in music video
Interesting fact: Kendrick actually possessed Don Cheadle for this video. He still possesses him from time to time to wander around at Avengers's filming sets and read the scripts early.
For all the Black people that are thankfully still here with us today, can you please tell us your stories of how you survived the big bad racist police force that is hunting down and murdering you all?
This song is still one of my favorites on the album. Its fr a war anthem, a hyper aggressive declaration of who kendrick is. Lotta his other songs are more introspective, but this shows that Compton stuff is in his DNA forever, atleast a lil. I like it even more under the context of the reverse tracklist.
Crazy how Kendrick is culturally appropriating Chinese culture with his entire kung fu Kenny persona but wants to call out drake? Just another reason he’s the biggest hypocrite😂😂
@@leultrainstinct406 It seems that you don't understand what is called cultural appropriation. Has KDot used Chinese culture to make money? Has he been packaging himself in this image to make money in the music circle? Stupid🤣
Talking directly to PDF File DRIZZY cosplaying as a African American for financial gain but in the corporate world he’s a Jewish man that lived in a white neighborhood that is the richest neighborhood in the entire country of Canada
Do y'all really realize how many topics Kendrick Lamar touched on in one song? He spoke about; police brutality against black men, African lineage, religion, poverty, and black excellence. He's a beast and much needed in the rap game. Mad respect and props to Kendrick Lamar.✊🏾💯👏🏾✔️🧠
It's will full ignorance at this point. Folks don't get the same awards as astronauts for music. Yet people have more respect for r.kelly rhyming ignition with kitchen
@@CharlesJames-t5r okay this is genuinely funny 😂 that aside, I've come to notice most of the people I argue with about Kendrick's lyrics don't even think about them. As long as it rhymes and it sounds cool they consider it a good song. The same people saying Mr. Morale was mid with all that storytelling and topics and lessons packed into that album
💯Facts! When he speaks of our DNA, I interpret it as he’s speaking on Black Americans whose lineage is rooted in this nation. Our unique ethnogenesis/admixture and our lived experiences for generations in this land…we’re truly the products of sex, money, and murder, yet our beautiful, resilient spirits will always prevail. That’s in our DNA. ✊🏾❤️🔥
@@NightReaper213 I thought I was alone. Thank God I'm not. I appreciate Lamar's flow and lyrics but that voice is just too irregular and picky for me to call 'music'.
Concept of the video is wild too. I like the man who say something to him when he is in the casket and he angrily responds. Like who thinks of this!!!!! Crazy.
If you just called one of the Genius of the new century a.kid you have NOT BEEN LISTENING TO HIS LYRICS A TRULY BLESSED MAN & YOU NOT SO MUCH , WHAT'S UP WITH THIS BLACK ON BLACK JEALOUSY , ENVIE , HATE THAT'S WORSE THAN THE KLAN WHAT WE THINK YOU WHO FELT THIS DON'T NEED JESUS YOU & THE MURDERS WHO ARE SUPOSE TO PROTECT US , YOU ALL NEED A DO OVER YA THINK !!!

3:25 is the best part of the vid.. picture of pac and snoop above his grammys while he spitting on this LEGENDARY Beat.. playing pool.. this song, part, and album just sums up Kendrick’s career and status in one. He knows he’s the greatest but still shows respect to the OGS.. this part gives me straight chills... legendary man
He'll go down the GOAT. Dude is dangerous and just getting started. Hopefully 2020 is the release of his next album. I heard it's going to be more rock influenced also. J Cole is another dude releasing his album "The Fall Off" this year. Easily the best rappers this generation and it's not close at all. If anyone says Drake I swear to god. That ain't rap🤣that's nightclub music.
He rlly is the GOAT; in an era filled with mumblers rapping about their bitches and cash, while he and a few other rappers are continuing what was started by the OGs
Mike Will said about it: With "DNA.," he [kendrick] went the whole way [through] and then he just started rapping a cappella. He said, 'I just want to see if you can put some drums around this.' I said, 'Man, hell yeah.' But he was going so hard; that man was rapping so crazy. Just imagine him a cappella rapping the second half of "DNA." and I had to build a beat around that. I didn't want the beat to just sound like a regular boom-clap, boom-clap. I wanted that s*** to sound just as crazy. I wanted it to sound like he's battling the beat.
He's talking about the DNA of black people, and I think the entire human species. He is saying so many opposing things, war and peace in side his dna? Ambition and greed? Murder and conviction? He's a genius bro
@Gift Moyeni And Mike WiLL Made it is the same person who made 23, (B*tches) Love Me, We can’t stop, and Rake it up. Who knew that such a bad producer was secretly a great producer who made two of some of the best songs of the 2010’s decade.
@@ogrimzyz8643 no, he's saying that some of the songs that Mike WiLL Made It has produced were trash, and that this one specifically isn't bad considering its from him.

love Kendrick but hip hop is fine. I discover amazing new artists every day. if you like Kendrick you might like Kenny Mason. check out his track 'hit'
@@eternallaflame he definitely needs to come back, but hip hop is fine. There are ah ton of great artist out there. Not to mention ah bunch of interesting subgenres
I feel this song goes over most people's heads. It's a real masterpiece. Also, Don Cheadle is such a fucking boss. Video gave me tears. Outro verse makes you grab the steering wheel tighter.
Kendrick is talking about loyalty to his family and close friends not some random street gang which would rob him and try to set him up and only use him for clout and money
Bro go listen to holy key go listen to nosetalgia go listen to look over your shoulders go listen to feel go listen to momma go listen to bdkmv remix go listen to no more parties in la never disrespect kendrick like that lmao he is the goat
Ticket on your plate: This is a play on the term “meal ticket”-a way to earn money. Most of Kendrick’s earnings are from his album sales and live performances. The other ticket on his plate is an endorsement deal with Reebok.

“My dna not for imitation, your dna an abomination”

Kendrick needs to come back and save hip hop
love Kendrick but hip hop is fine. I discover amazing new artists every day. if you like Kendrick you might like Kenny Mason. check out his track 'hit'
@@CancelHappiness he needs to save mainstream hip hop
@@FirstNameLastName-pg3pi agreed
Right he need to come back
@@eternallaflame he definitely needs to come back, but hip hop is fine. There are ah ton of great artist out there. Not to mention ah bunch of interesting subgenres
Cold blooded

Duckworth clear but go off
@@mufodtalkermufo7485 what is this
real talk
Duckworth better
If Hotline Bling won Grammy for best RAP PERFORMANCE then this song should win a Lifetime Achievement Award
The Sign right!!!
The Sign seriously man this song is way way way better than hotline bling
The Sign for real
Harvinder Singh for me hotline bling is not rap !! with it that i stop to listen drake!
how does this song only have 30 mil views? humble has 113 mil
So no ones gonna talk about how Don Cheadle killed this?
I know right
Smh 😪
OMG!!!!!!!!! Mind BLOWN right now!!!!!
he's the original Kung fu Kenny, so of course he'll kill it
@@mevinkalone4277 okay not Kevin
Will forever love this song
"You got two first names... fuck is THAT about?" Priceless.
I feel this song goes over most people's heads. It's a real masterpiece. Also, Don Cheadle is such a fucking boss. Video gave me tears. Outro verse makes you grab the steering wheel tighter.
Can u explain the song? My little pea brain can't understand it
@@qtlayz7631 in the words of my venerable forefathers, "that's bait"
Weirdo lol
@@qtlayz7631 Like exactly, well delivered, but the message is dangerous
“I this song goes over most people’s heads”
Can’t explain why.
man when that beat switch kendrick be spazzing..this nigga flow is godly ridiculous..bring rap back!thank you!
2kool 4U It never left
Q the G.O.A.T its been in the hand of mumble rap and fake trap music the past 2, 3 years..no content ass rappers
great music will always rise to the top homie.
2kool 4U I can't get passed his voice. He's okay he's not groundbreaking by any means. I lived the Golden Era, he's gotta do more for me. Sorry
there are loads of good rappers, you just gotta go looking
This song will never get old. 🔥
Kendrick: i got loyalty inside my DNA
6ix9ine: left the chat
Kendrick is talking about loyalty to his family and close friends not some random street gang which would rob him and try to set him up and only use him for clout and money
@@georgelincolnrockwell4659 i know bro it was a bad joke that's all
@@georgelincolnrockwell4659 I think the joke kinda went over your head.
George Lincoln Rockwell why you gotta overthink that so much?
George Lincoln Rockwell he is not talking about that.

Sorry @@treycarter7826didnt mean to disrespect
Man, that beat switch gets me EVERY time.
I know man so sicck
Whoever produced this track needs recognition
@@bigant763 Mike-WiLL Made It produced this.
Saketh And the flow in that part goes so hard too!
"2 first names, the fuck is up with that?" 😂😂💀💀
The Trilluminati Steve Stevens ain't that some shit
After that last verse how can anyone compare to this man
Let's go
That's the thing, they can't 😌
We blessed to have Kendrick tbh
It finally hit 1 billion on Spotify 🔥🔥 Kendrick deserves it
Hum
The second part though straight fire! 🔥
ImJustTooGuud agreed
yes but what means "You ain't shit without a ticket on your plate"
He rapped that whole verse and MikeWillMadeIt made a beat around the verse. Shits crazy🔥🔥🔥🔥
Ticket on your plate: This is a play on the term “meal ticket”-a way to earn money.
Most of Kendrick’s earnings are from his album sales and live performances. The other ticket on his plate is an endorsement deal with Reebok.
thanks
If this ain’t playing at my funeral I’m not going
Same lol
You notice he was in a casket....

Kendrick focuses on the message he wants to send but this guy is a genius and can make fire songs when he decides to
