I loved Mr morale and the big steppers , I’ve been listening to and a fan of Kendrick for a while, but I resonated to this album and personally related to this one on a mother level , inspired by how vunerable and introspective he’s been, really took me for a ride like a beautiful piece of art and left me with a memory and a lesson
I always loved Kendricks music in terms of listenability, How Much A Dollar Cost was the first song that made me want to re listen to everything and analyze his lyrics because of how well he strings them together.
This is such a late comment (sorry just discovering your channel now) and if you want a foundational ‘conscious rap’ album to listen to (‘i’ even contains a shout out to it with the line ‘Black stars can come and get me’) Black Star’s only album, Mos Def & Talib Kweli are Black Star. Even though it came out in 1998, and some of the references made are dated, it still hits so deep. Two of the greats teaming up to deliver a masterpiece that still makes me get up and groove. Re:Definition is just…. Wow. Also Mos Def’s Black on Both Sides.
I just found your channel. I've sort of been watching random reactions to Kendrick for some reason. I love the approach you take with your reactions. Wasn't expecting the sort of introspective voiceovers. Very cool. Not sure how you decide what to react to but if I may suggest "Lives Outgrown" by Beth Gibbons an album she just released (May 2024). And also Portishead the band she comes from. They have 3 excellent albums (and a 4th live album recorded at a show in NYC).
Know this is kinda an old reaction but I just finished listening to this album for the first time and knew I had to watch this lmao, I love how real you keep it and how much you share of your own experiences. I feel my perspective on the songs and the album as a whole expands a lot from hearing your interpretations, making me see things on this in a whole different light.
@pathreacts you should react to Ekkstacy next if you want to have something to vibe to while driving in the sunset! 🙏 My recommended songs are: f*ck everything!, I dont have one of those, I gave you everything, I just want to hide my face, alright, I want to die in your arms, it only gets worse, I promise, I want to be by your side. Thank me later 👋
listened to this a ton but didnt get the story till watching(or rewatching idk) this video Sherane sets him up to the other gang (sherane aka) he flashes forward to him now struggling with success (BDKMV) talks about his mindset - before sherane sets him up (backseet frestyle) talks about his peer pressure- before sherane sets him up (the art of peer pressure) flashes forward to now reflecting on the robbery (Money trees) Flashes back to song one, gets beat up by 2 gang members (poetic justice, good kid - half also about police) tells his homies (maad city) get drunk, peer pressure again, get in the fight, dave dies (Swimming pools) flashes forward and backwards, his reflection on gang violence (SAMIDOT) Then he closes with more reflection on himself and compton (real, compton)
Your reactions are great. My only concern would be that reading along to the Genius lyrics could have spoiled the conclusion to the album. It reveals early that 2Pac appears on Mortal Man before the song itself reveals that is who Kendrick is reciting the poem to
