    Guys, that was Ron Isley in the video, and there was also cameo by George Clinton. The Isley brothers wrote this with Kendrick and instead of sampling they re-recorded which is so cool. It won 2 Grammys. You should check out Anderson .Paak’s “Tints” featuring Kendrick. They are friends ( also w Thundercat ) and have great chemistry. ✌🏻

    Would definitely recommend some Thundercat, while I like kendricks discography, To Pimp A Butterfly's jazzy and funk sounds stand above all the others still. These are large in part to thundercat's production on a majority of the songs on the album, and while I don't know for certain, those funky bass chords at the end sound like classic thundercat

    What's great is that this song is a single, when the album came out the song i was turned into a more raw live feeling version that gets interrupted towards the end by the mob he's preforming for, he then goes on to give a speech and an acapella. Kendricks music is very artistic to me

    @BeastingBoli 2 года назад +11

    Great reaction guys :) Because you enjoy his jazz fusion and lyrical ability so much I really recommend yall to listen to To Pimp A Butterfly in its entirety. It's got both this song and Alright on there, and the context of the album adds a ton to understanding the extra layers of these tracks. I know the channel is just meant for singles n videos, so dont worry keep it that way. But please do listen to the album in your own time! One of the best albums in music (let alone hip hop) history. It's a visceral concept album with a great story line and stunning orchestration that can only blow you away. Makes me emotional every time I decide to put it on.
    Anyways, great job w the channel. The openness of you guys' approach to contemporary music is great to see and highly appreciated, keep it going!
