@@lightningmcking1234its a metaphor The story expressed throughout the album is one of those kinds of journeys you sit and enjoy. The Jimi Hendrix experience is another album you should hear because it is like a journey
@@BridgingTheGapYT don't pay this noise any attention bro. It doesn't matter if you came first or he came first.. or if y'all got a similar thing. Everyone's father and son connection are different different and It is dope to see. It's different that just regular reactors, because you get to see how a father and son both connect Plus, I will say that I like your name too. Bridging the gap is legit what you're doing with generations and era's.
Your dad saying "it's just so above the rest" is the perfect way to describe this album, especially at the time, I remember being in shock after my first time listening to it.
Completely agree, my top 5 ⬇️ Sing about me (no 1) ⬇️(No order from here) Maad city Blacker the berry DNA Money trees Hon mentions- alright, good kid, bitch dont kill my vibe
Quick correction: technically, in the context of the album's story Kendrick is/was partially gang affiliated because his close friends he's talking with in the skits are Westside Piru Bloods. He even talks about doing gang shit when he would hang out with them in the music even though he's not a full-fleged member and just *from* the hood. A big theme in the album is young black and brown men who grow up in these rougher neighborhoods don't always have a choice in being connected in some way to the gang culture. Jay Rock (dude who would sign Kendrick to TDE) would literally take a younger Kendrick to the Bounty Hunter Blood neighborhood (Jay Rock WAS fully affiliated) in watts and had him freestyle for the homies on the block. Kendrick is an example of the dude from the affiliated hood who would hang but wouldn't bang.
Dude, I'm from South Korea and I've been a huge fan of Kendrick since he dropped Section 80. I cannot fully relate to Kendrick's Compton experiences written in GKMC, but I was really inspired by his messages on how we should break the innate environmental obstacles in order to further move on. By the way, your father and son relationship is really cool, they talk and discuss about their son's favorite music and culture. Keep it up dude!
I really love these ‘sons showing dads their favorite music’ type videos because you can see that this is a really indirect way for someone to show their parent a very real side of themselves that they only really get to experience with certain music, like the fact that you can dance around and mouth the lyrics is a really kind of vulnerable place a lot of people cant really relate with sharing with a parent because not everyone has that type of relationships with their parents.
I already know he’s going to love the story and different aesthetics in this album. It is truly a documented journey✨ Money Trees is unmatched in my opinion
@@lauwenskyastrel4790 totally agree. Far better for me. I get that TPAB has a great message and all, but I see not a small, but a huge difference of level with GKMC... Like, I would rate TPAB an 8.5/10 while GKMC is close to a 10
I’ve listened to this album hundreds of times before and each time feels like the first, it’s like Kendrick gives you a first person experience through Compton from master splinters daughter to backseat freestyle to poetic justice, this album is top tier
When you go into this album and you still find it so fucking good and then you're reminded that he still has TPAB and DAMN in his pocket. But especially TPAB, that shit is a trip to another universe similar to Dre's Chronic and Nas' Illmatic.
@@JohnnySensei7 I disagree. I could never say it was better than those albums, because they were game changing, and not just entertaining to the ears. No way you were sound back then and came to that conclusion.
@@LurnWell I think that comes with time. I think we'll look back at TPAB and GKMC in 10+ years the same way we look back at Illmatic, the Chronic and other classic albums now.
Man I love this so much. I don't know why it made me so emotional, but this was genuinely a joy to see. Black father son relationship, just sharing art together and being open. So beautiful. Thank you my friends.
Had a grin on this whole video. This may be a hot take, but I prefer GKMC to TPAB, and it was so wholesome seeing dad enjoy it as much as you do. You guys and Turning the tables are letting me relive my first listens for all these albums
I think that gkmc has better hits, and a more personal story, but tpab doesn’t have a song that isn’t perfect on it, and is more of a cultural album though, but both albums are different and 🔥
@@Youre I think tpab is better but I definitely prefer to listen to good kid. My favorite movies are indie films but I’m not gonna throw those on when I’m tryna chill.
Sing about me im dying of thirst has to be the one of the greatest kendrick songs of all time. I still cant wrap my head around him creating a story and poem while keeping on beat and rhyming every lyric. Then comes the second part, which is the person who i believe killed the person from the first parts’ brother getting baptised and being freed from the weight left on him from that event. Best Kendrick Album, top 10 Rap songs of the 2010’s
Man the love in your Pop’s eyes when he looks at you! Like “yeah I raised this young man to have great taste in music” lol. Incredible to be able to share this album with your Pops! Respect!
40:56 Kendrick once mentioned that this sound indicate a flashback. Small details like these are what made this album a cinematic experience to me 🏃🏽♂️
I love how you show your dad the whole spectrum of rap. Not just trap or just conscience shit. But like the whole thing. Cause rap is really just news of what happens in real life . Both sides of rap tells a story of what really goes on in the world and everyone relates to one or the other or both depending on what you like or live through. Life is crazy and can feel the vibe through anyone’s music or experiences!
Dad looks wise and looks like he can relate through what he’s lived through. My dads second language is English so I wish he would understand word play or double entendres or similes and stuff like that cause I feel he would love it. Bumps to you man. Shout out to y’all for bonding through the amazing thing we call music
Kendrick is so creative - I love your dad’s reaction to this album, he clearly wasn’t expecting it to sound like it did. As you say - there’s fewer classics these days, the art of album making in some ways has been lessened in the move to streaming, but this is a modern classic! Kendrick really don’t miss - I just hope we get another from him this year!
Happy to see a black son & dad version of the turning tables. A perspective that I can relate too. No shade to them, I love what they do, but I like seeing different perspectives and view points. Shame y'all didn't react to Compton, it my favorite track. Hope y'all react to Yak someday for fun lol. Peace ✌
This album feels like it was released just yesterday, and yet it still blows my mind. I am forever grateful for the evolution it forced me to do as a human being. The violin is such a powerful instrument and I love how it really gets your dad, too. Each track on this album is emotionally charged and provides chills. It is truly timeless and remains one of my favorites to this day. I appreciate the hell out of your dads response.
I didn’t expect to sit down and watch this whole video but I did! Y’all definitely know how to dissect songs and I’m glad you two can appreciate this album as father and son.
I’ve watched a lot of Kendrick reactions, but this one has been by far my favourite of any reaction. I absolutely love the album and love it even more after this. Watching your dad experience it for the first time and just seeing his eyes being opened to an amazing artist is ridiculously satisfying haha. Keep up the good work, can’t wait for the TPAB reaction.... cheers!
@@wesleyowusu0805 hip hope 💀💀 So what I do if I'm not a fan? All I'm asking for is an explanation. It's complicated, but I'd rather be watching more interesting stuff with my limited time on YT.
You should show your dad the song “the recipe” featuring Dr Dre it’s on the deluxe of this album and it’s one of my favorite Kendrick songs of all time. I’m very glad the rap beef helped me find your channel😂
Classic! Kendrick is in my Top 5 for this specific album alone GOATED! It transports you to his environment if you don’t relate but if you from the HOOD or better yet Compton it teleports you to a moment of time especially for me “Bitch Don’t Kill My Vibe” I remember the first time I ever heard that song ironically I was pissed at my middle school teacher cause I got in trouble for whatever reason but this was the first song I ever heard by him and when it came on my whole vibration just became relaxed and I forgot why I was even pissed in the first place I’ll never forget that time frfr👊🏽🙌🏽🐐🔥✨💯 (It’s perfect also gotta do the next artist in my Top 5 JERMAINE COLE!!!!)
@@JohnnySensei7 Yes! Off an classic album absolutely! Just like Eminem,Biggie Pac did the only one that didn’t instantly make my Top 5 off of one album is J Cole it just happens spontaneously I guess💯
ANDERSON PAAK - MALIBU!! This isn't a mega-hit album, but I know your pops (and you too if you haven't yet listened to) will absolutely love it. A bit of rap, a bit of west coast living, a lot of smooth jazzy/soulful rapping and harmonics. This is a must!
For a dude sittin on a couch you got some killer clear sound man. Big respect for shouting out the track producers, which is often overlooked. Also love the father/son bonding. Subbed!!
This was such a great watch. I can see that you father genuinely liked the album. Kendrick is undeniably one of the greats, his writing is just leagues above others. I cannot wait for his TPAB reaction
seeing your dad love the jazz aspect of this album makes me think he would really like tbab. the influence jazz has on that album is crazy and i’m sure he’ll like the production
Fuck man i miss the times when this album came out . Freshman in high school no worries no nothing! Good fucking times. Album will forever hold a special place in me .🙏
Kendrick lamar es de mis raperos favoritos. Las vibras de este video son contagiosas. Ya me gustaria estar con mi padre sentados escuchando albumes completos de rap.
Hey guys, i am watching from Portugal, you have been my company during the past week. Just wanted to say that your connection is amazing and we really need those father and son relationship in the world. Thank you 🙏
I hope one day when im old as shit i hear money trees and be again the 19 year old boy on the bus, moving to a new city on his own, working and struggling with uni. This album helped me get through shit, listened to it every morning while commuting.
Classic Kendrick! I remember first listening to Overly Dedicated and then Section.80 dropped it blew my mind and then when Good Kid Maad City dropped that shit changed my life lol i was in middle school , it still feels like this album came out a couple years ago. And Mc Eiht is a west coast legend! Especially his group CMW nothing but classic albums! Definitely gotta show your dad “music to drive by” if he enjoyed hearing Mc Eiht .
Both of your perspectives are really interesting and I love how informed you are about this album. Your dad seemed to really like this as well which is great. I've watched a few of your videos but this one hit different for me in terms of how both of you put it together. I just subscribed and I will be watching all the new videos for suree. Keep doing your thing man this channel is great.
Little bummer that you left out Compton to round out the main album, but that JayZ Remix was dope to finish off the vid! I never heard that one before :) Thanks for the listening session with you and your dad, you both rock!
Oh yeah, before I start watching, I gotta say this is definitely a great progression. Seeing as he heard some real lyricists. It's only natural he continues with another legendary artist. Kendrick has easily become my favorite rapper. He goes beyond rap. He's my favorite artist within Hip-Hop. Nobody does albums like him. He's on a whole other level. He's what Hip-Hop needs. Rock and other genres had more time to evolve. So seeing influences being brought into Hip-Hop by high-level lyricists is dope. Helps the genre progress. And there will always be materialistic Hip-Hop. It's what the youth is into. Every decade Hip-Hop had that. But to see it become way deeper than that is incredible.
Man hearing your pops just feel that jazz energy in kendrick is nuts, just how he picks and flows on his beats. Kendrick said he had no idea about it all until he was working on TPAB, maybe the biggest jazz influenced project in the last two decades.
Man, this is one of my favorite albums of all time and seeing you and your dad connect over this gives me such a heartwarming feeling. I wish I could of had this experience with my dad also but these videos with albums I have such a big emotional connection with fill that gap at least a little bit. Thank you for that
I feel like your dad would really appreciate mos def, especially that black star record him and talib kweli did. Thieves in the night is a phenomenal phenomenal track
hi guys, again a cool reaction. Until now I wasn't a big Kendrick Lamar fan, but now I've heard the album with you guys and I have to say it's incredibly good! Greetings from Germany
Really enjoying you and your dad's vids! Respect from New Zealand bro. Good Kid is one of the last great Hip Hop albums that merged the styles of the 90s, 00's and his decade from 10 to 2020. Album has so much style!
This Album for me was elevated to god status once the art of peer pressure came up and after that it was just bangers after bangers. Still one of my favourite Rap albums imo.
Another great reaction video of you two!! As your dad liked the JAY Z verse in this video I would also recommend 4:44 by JAY Z to your dad because it was another approach on rap by introducing Grown Man Rap as a genre which gives a new perspective on rap. I‘m sure your dad would love this album.
Also, his one of his first interviews apparently was (at the SJSU radio station I ended up taking a class helping with, reviewing music before they were put onto the radio) a few years before I was a freshman at the university I went to in San Jose, I was so geeked, I feel like you embody my being a huge fan of Kendrick so well haha it’s so awesome to see. Much love from the Bay. The whole TDE crew is legendary. I could request so many reactions but if I may, could you both review Schoolboy Q’s albums Blank Face and Crash Talk? And Isaiah Rashad’s The Sun’s Tirade? I have to say, Q’s voice is also legendary, always has me hyped haha,
There was something really touching about how you guys laughed together at the beginning of Sing About Me. The lot of us who are lucky to have a good relationship with our dad can sometimes take it for granted.
I love all the different channels where a son shows his dad a new type of music. Especially cause all of them have different tastes and you get a lot of perspective
@@kachoww5981 yeah they said that already but that’s not always true that’s why I said what I said. Eternal life will happen no matter if you go to heaven or hell is why I said what i said. I just made it deeper more rapper would make it mean both. So it probably does mean both
@@BruceReactsIt might mean both but I think the main message is theyll be immortalized by people after death while the one that shot him gets a short amount of fame but not nearly as much
I think your pops might like Tetsuo and Youth by Lupe, has a lot of great string arrangements which he seems to like. Again, thank you for shouting out the producers after each song!!! we rarely get credit like that and it's appreciated
