@@fissejakob someone that agrees finally. the beat pales in comparison to the rest on the record and the bars just aren’t there most of the time. Love the message, but it’s one of the few I skip.
I think my biggest Kendrick hot take is that Real is top 5 on Good Kid. The chorus is definitely repetive, but I still think it's catchy. Kendrick's verses are awesome as he discuss how two different people using either materlistic things or the streets as way to cover their personal issues, they don't love the real versions of themselves. Then his final verse is him discussing how he to thought that expensive items and being in the streets and honoring a code made him real but comes to realize these things don't define him. Finally it ends with my favorite voicemail on the album. This voicemail encapsulates the entire story on GKMC, being able to overcome the hardships in Kendrick's early life, but being reminded to never forget where he came from. To come back and inspire the kids in Compton that were no different than Kendrick growing up. This song coming after Sing About Me makes it even better, contrasting the brutal and sad ending of Sing About Me with the hope of escaping Compton. Incredibly underrated song.
Thanks for your opinion! I do love how Real ties up the story, I just think a lot of songs on GKMC do a lot more while sounding better. No hate on Real though, there’s no bad track on that album
I clicked this video thinking i was watching someone with millions of views. Im surprised you only have 50 subs. Your content is great, but the alg isn't reccomending it. You should upload a bunch of shorts to get the algorithm on your side.
i didnt even watch the vid yet but I'm not sure if I wanna anymore u2's part is so good and its so short too its like the cherry on top of the deep meaning and lyricism of xxx😭😭
@@brickradioYT even if the hook is weak, if feel like it is probably in the top 10 on good kid mAAd city (better than Compton, The Art of Peer Pressure, and Poetic Justice at the least)
I will never understand the hate for the U2 part I always thought it was one of the best parts and I feel like the only reason people hate it was because everyone acts like it was bad, like fantano originally said he thought it was great then said he always though it ruined the song recently
firstly, I thought there was a rating from 1 through 10 and noticed that something was wrong. and then, i realized that this is a rating from 1 through 5. well done video btw
u and the art of peer pressure mean so much to me emotionally the emotions on u are so powerful, the struggle to love oneself is so real the art of peer pressure is such a vibe (just ridin') and I connect to it because I am a lot of the times a victim of doing what other people do to fit in I also love the first part of count me out. I can feel the expectations are so heavy on kendrick and I relate to that as well a lot of the tracks just get better when listening to the full album, like backseat freestyle makes a lot of sense in the context of gkmc and it's before one of my favorite songs
untitled 05 deserved a top 10 spot not just because its as good if not better than the ones above it but because its probably the most unique kendrick song ive ever heard, its my most played all time on spotify and still every time i come back to it, it just gets better, idk if its the punch and jay rocks features or the instrumentals or the anna wise chorus or lyrical content, i just know that its the most special song in his catalog for me
Ok ok the data is cool and all, but crown is genuinely one of my favorites off of mmatbs and the fact you rated it a 1.5 astounds me. When I saw that I was salty for the rest of the video. Other than that, my favorite Kendrick song, i, is really high and I love to see that. the reason why the tpab and Mr morale songs are lower than a lot of the other albums despite their quality compared to the others is due to how people don’t really fall in love with each individual song and more so the album itself. The albums are so well crafted that they go into one and other so well that people don’t think of specifically momma or you ain’t gotta lie, they think of the second half of tpab. That’s the hardest part when ranking Kendrick’s songs.
LUST. disrespect really hurts me. I've never listened to a song and felt like I was participating in sin quite like this. It's so nauseating the whole way through.
It feels insane that people be sleeping on momma that much, the lyrical content is so dense and the transition going from the for sale interlude onto it is one of the best I've ever heard. The simple line "Until I realised that I didn't know shit the day I came home" is a perfect analogy for the whole song.
I just listened to YAH again and I really don’t understand the general consensus on this song. The drums are really sick. It’s mixed really well. The bass sounds super full. Sure, the delivery is a little bit goofy and weird, but I feel like it works on this track. I truly do not understand the hatred that the fandom has for this song. I genuinely don’t think I’ve ever skipped this song when listening to this album before.
@@perceusshadowmantle9538 overrated means people say its better than it actually is and its kinda true but its also not overrasted because ur right nobody gives it the recognition it deserves
YES I’m so happy at #1! This shares my #1 Kendrick song and #1 just song in general, I love the dense packed in themes, of both the song and album, and it is literally the best sounding thing to ever touch my ears holy shit. I adore that song but I also adore so many other Kendrick songs. This dude is nothing short of a visionary
Great video. A new approach in ranking songs that I don’t think I’ve seen done before. While I don’t agree with a lot of the rankings it goes to show how great kdots music is. *hot take, mortal man is top 3 songs on Tpab But anyways keep it up. And I’m not sure if I already said it but GREAT video.
Thanks for checking it out! Some days I agree with you that mortal man is top 3, but that album is too hard to rank so thats why i made this video lol.
One day, somehow spotify shuffle played u and mirror back to back. I really almost cried. To hear this man who feels like he needs to be a savior just ripping himself to shreds, I don't think people get how truly gut wrenching u is. But to go straight from that into mirror, 6 years later, where kendrick is to the point where he chooses himself over all of the bullshit is so beautiful to me. Didn't raise my opinion on u because that song is already a 10/10, but it really made me love mirror so much more
i've never heard anybody appreciating for sale? and institutionalized, so thanks for that,but the slander for savior interlude and you aint gotta lie is a bit sad to see.
There's too many perfect songs off tpab. Wesley's Theory, For Free?, Institutionalized, These Walls, U, For Sale?, How Much A Dollar Cost, Complexion, Momma, and Mortal Man are all 10/10. I thought I could choose one but I can't it changes by the second.
i stand by this. not a bad song on damn and god is a great breather track after the weight left by fear (great transition into it too: "i love you family, and i pray for u" and then boom "so this is what god feels like"). its important to the narrative of the album (both ways), and hard to not enjoy. the outro with the warped vocal synths is really unique and totally sold the song for me the first time i heard it (:
Lololol bro I'm totally with you on good kid. I'm one of the few people that likes it more than mad city, that Pharrell beat and those layered vocals are so nuts
