April 7th line too lol...prophetic

Hard

“We want the funk”

Aged well 😅

lmao

The diss was happening since 2010

Facts 😂😂

The Elimination of Drake

Facts 🔥🔥🔥

Every suicidal they ain't even need my help

True back then and now

Even more so now

🙏🙏

😭😭😭😭😭

yo

Wassup dawg

N0t4u2c boi word up bro🙌

ayoo

Mee to

Thanks for this.

Yousef it’s a triple entendre. It also references yams from things fall apart by Chinua Achebe in which yams are seen as a form of currency and therefore power, hence Kendrick says everyone wants to cut the legs off of him when he has achieved wealth and prosperity, notably the white man

Yams are also slang for cocaine

Thank you for sharing! I'm white but Kendrick is THE BEST!!! The more you listen the more artistry there is to discover. I love yams but now I understand the reference!!!!

Easy E would be so proud of Kendrick!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

"I swear I wouldnt tell, but most of y'all sharin' bars like you got the bottom bunk in a two man cell, something's in the water anf if I gotta brown nose for some gold then I'd rather be a bum than a motherf***g baller"

@@BEFORETHEMHYPEBEASTSAeeyee 🙌🏿

​@@BEFORETHEMHYPEBEASTSoh shit

🤣🤣🤣

accurate

Bro go listen to the heart pt 4 now which was dropped right before this album. It reads as a straight up time travel, most ruthless top to bottom response diss to Cole. As he’s saying this song is prophetic and he even got his apology to the day in it April 7th lmfao

1:14 to 2:04 is amazing imo

'm8 io 'll

I was thinking the same thing!!!

im not alone then

Class indeed 🙌

This is what I was just thinking especially In regards to this song.

true

So damn true my guy

soooo... it's bad?

you are right in every aspect

🙋‍♂️

Nah I’m watching this from 2016

Yup

Yea sur

Yea dawg

MJ reference

Desire Chimanikire My college gave an assignment to analyse the songs from his album - to pimp a butterfly.

I already am, in high school.

@@hershitaapandey6916 fr though

Wtf do you mean ten years I had to analyze this for my last project about poetry and rap

xD

Fr Fr. After that trash ass Jcole response, I’m telling Jcole fans that logic is a better rapper than Jcole

@@TheatricsOfTheAbsurdlol logic can rap. Tell ‘em French Montana has better bars. If it’s war send shots 😂

@matthewscanlan2874 French Montana it is🤣🤣 Jcole quadratic equation rapping ass

Cole saying this album is sleepy meanwhile I'm ready to run thru a brick wall when hearing this track

@@allprogrows358for your eyes is a album you can literally sleep to😂

Haha😂

Lexx Nova Bruh if you actually respected Kendrick then you wouldn't be spamming the fuck out of his video begging niggas to come watch your shit smh.

Jay ElecHanukkah He wants to be noticed and u can't let him shine? Smh

bodybag you musta accidently press king kunta instead of king shawnn

400th like

Dont worry man it will be worth it

It's always worth the wait. Let the master work.

When this came out I neva really paid attention to the lyrics now I did I get what he’s trying to say real shit Kendrick

Yes he will

shovel man well we got one in 2017 and 2018 so we cant complain

TooMany Gamez same !

TooMany Gamez Kendrick has inspired ne to create art and dope music, I pray you can take a look and sub or just give a listen its all love doe, akk about the art

I know that's right the first time I listened to it I was like it was cool, but then I listened to the lyrics and it's like being a child being told a story

Blade Zero Yes!! And you catch on to different things after respectively listening. He's been the GOAT since section 80 to me, this album just reassures that.

Lol

It actually makes sense considering the lyrics of the song. Kendrick the goat

@@tigohmortis where are you from bro?

@@dominiquejr1495 All the way from Nigeria man

@@tigohmortis me from congo , so you live in usa?

Nope I do visit from time to time. (Texas)

True

I like that DJ Quik inspiration on the beat here too lol

@@energizr2816 it's also heavily inspired by James Brown's "the payback." Kendrick even borrows a line from it "I can dig rappin..."

@@dirtmcgirt1038 read the credits and you see which funk god this from

​@@energizr2816 Dj Quik worked on this beat but wasn't credited.

Kendrick look old.

Hes almost 30. I think he's 28.

I can do the dance lol

That shit looks so cool and funny at the same time lol

that's LA shit my nigga lol

And he said tpab was boring😂

@@nickSmithOffic1al naahh i want what he was on 😂

On god

Pulitzer Prize isn't that great of a deal in music. But, even without all the prizes he has won, he's one of the greatest, he created a legacy that will never be forgotten. Prizes are bullshit if you want to compare quality of something, atleast in rap. Look at Nas, we all know that he didn't won big prizes, but he's one of the greatest rappers to ever touch a pen. Music is relative, prizes can't be used as a measure.

@@Portthefirst it's a big deal because it awards based on artistry alone. Whereas the Grammys and other awards choose their recipients based on sales, radio play, and other commercial factors. The Pulitzer Prize committee doesn't care about popularity or revenue potential. They only focus on the contribution the artist has made to the body of artistic work.

Will B you can check in google, in the music section it's not that much of a deal. You have plenty of albums/ songs that have better body artistic of work, one of them is Lupe Fiasco - Mural. But, nevertheless as I told you, rap is domething different, no prizes can truly determine if a rapper is better than the other, and Nas, Hov, Em, Rakim, G Rap, Kendrick, Lupe Fiasco, the whole Wu Tang and so on told us that. Glad to live in an era where I can listen freely these rap songs, it's wonderful.

Preach 💙💙💙👥👥👥🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

Brandon B. kendrick uses ghost writers, even in this song

Rumford Chimpenstein ^Bitch where?

Richard Burton bitch learn to look stuff up for yourself: Stephen Bruner, Johnny Burns, Stefan Gordy all helped write this song. u really thought he writes his own stuff?

Word

4:3

actually it's 666:420 i measured

It's too thin to be 4:3. I have no fucking clue what the aspect ratio is, but it's fuckin cool.

FrankJavCee The aspect ratio is 1:1

Not to be mean but Kanye's first and second album was doing that.

Tayo Rufai Kanye was bringing soul back, Kendrick's bringing the funk...

Tayo Rufai naaa he was using more soul samples rather than funk. This is taking it back to the roots.

Tayo Rufai Not mean simply wrong. Kanye's album had no funk it was all soul.

Tayo Rufai Kanye's first and second albums were released in 2004 and 2005, it's 2015, so yes, Kendrick brought the sound back

Am I bugging is the BUM at 1:13 sound like the same one in Like That?

ghost writer moment

@@RachmaelBenApplebaumnah the shot here is “y’all share bars like you got the bottom bunk in a two man cell”

He been dissing Aubrey since poetic justice

That throw back g-funky sounds kind of helps with that lol

the word almost is working overtime rn

@@sarc143 lol fr

Music is timeless bruh fo sure

dont say this was almost a decade ago, stop it

WTFflow 2pac is stupid overrated.

This nigga Kendrick is overrated. Tupac is underrated.

Killuminati Soldiers Nah, they both overrated.

Killuminati Soldiers Tupac definitely is not underrated

Kidd kulture... Go listen to tyga. Pacs the Goat. Kendricks the best right now.

Isnt that from his other song alright

+Kaden Walsh yeah ahah

+Kaden Walsh No... It's said throughout the whole entire album, after almost every song.

+ZDub Tha Gawd o well this and alright is the only 2 songs ive heard in this album

You have to check out the full thing bro. I think it's the best album ever made.

he made it out the hood but he never forgets where he came from

But what regular people do

Every rapper does that

And a Pulitzer prize winner...screw those fixed Grammys

@@ponvishwesh5907 not really u don’t see chief keef in the hood anymore he in la

🖐🏾

meee

Same

Yeah.....Lol

me!!!!! ics di

He needs to get back in this pocket in the next diss

Me

Yea this song is way better than the new songs

I'm here after "meet the grahams", Kendrick is a lyrical and spiritual artist of unparalleled skill

nallly Eh it's pretty obvious he was trying to distance himself from classic rock. Common knowledge he listened to Death grips and Kendrick

He always did what he wanted and never tried to make "classic rock" . Listen to "Young Americans" and tell me if that is classic rock. It's more soul than anything. Each album of his 26 albums has it's own character.

Everyone knows this.

There are some people who didn't know this until I posted it. Now some of those people know this. There are still people that don't know. Pass it on...

very interesting indeed.

Drake doesn't have a ghostwriter.

Mark Williams Yes he does.

jojo kyle Nah fam,his shit is way too personal to use a ghostwriter

JUST GTA V He just tell they story, they make the bars.

JUST GTA V he gave the ghostwriter his diary and said do your best

Exactly the first song was hype the second one had a whole queer the third is a banger I’m confused where I’m supposed to be sleeping 😅

​@@donaldbarre151That part. I was listening to TPAB front to back yesterday. No skips. Cole was definitely capping. It's anything but boring. How can you fall asleep to Wesley's Theory, King Kunta, Alright, The Blacker The Berry or I ? Make it make sense

@@AngeBiampandou exactly if TPAB is boring than what is for your eyes only 😂😂

I so agree with you!

@pleznt808 damn, yall uncles mad young n shit lol

Yes, but he's cool AF

Im not saying everyone needs to rap the same but at least find somethin relevant to talk about then the typical drugs and women k dot and j cole for example

lol people say its j.cole, kendrick, and drake in the top im a j.cole fan and i like 1 song from kendrick and 1 from drake but i respect all the of their styles but yea i dont even know why im writing this to you guys

***** lol is it bad to like a single song from an artist then say im not a fan of someone ive been listening to since sideline story? Funny

+Jalen Marks-Allen Here's how I feel about it, Kendrick is great, but he has terrible fans that like him for all the wrong reasons. Kendrick makes entertaining music, and he's a talented rapper that can incorporate social commentary into his music without it being distasteful, but he's not the "brooding and deep" incredible lyricist that his seemingly youthful fans make him out to be. He makes references and can form some clever word play on his lyrics, but they're not deep or hard to figure out. Sorry but Kendrick's career is turning into an Odd Future situation with these young ass overzealous fans. Odd Future ain't shit anymore because all the little white kids jump on the next act. Y'all gonna hate me for saying this, but I know that Kendrick has a ton of white fans and white people just don't like real hip hop - they like the "oh so "clever" social commentary"...a rapper with too many white fans is doomed to be forgotten, just like Tyler the Creator and Hopsin. Yeah I said it. This is the reason they don't like J Cole, who has the quintessential hip hop sound that white people just can't get into. J Cole was influenced by one of hip hop's greatest lyricists (Nas) and has exhibited lyrical genius himself and is why he'll be remembered more. But to re-iterate, Kendrick is definitely great but a little overrated.

+Jalen Marks-Allen >y'all gotta respect all forms of hip hop No I don't....everyone should just like what they like.

He dissing drake the whole album.

He really shootin through out this whole album

Jon Ottosen It did for a little while....when all that snappin and dancing was all that was out lol

No hip hop never died most hip hop songs are good to true hip hop fans regardless of the lyrics, I'm sorry but not everything has to be hella lyrical to be good if the beat gives you good vibes and makes you feel good you shouldn't hate it because of some lyrics, I don't listen to music to learn new vocabulary that's why I read books lmao

Hip hop never left. We left hip hop.

Jon Ottosen boy with apple! exquisite!

Jon Ottosen dont get me wrong, i like the song, not so much the album but this is hardley hiphop - its a pop song lol

edgy.

Harnoor Singh mad u said dat. thas funny as hell. its tru tho lmao

Harnoor Singh True shit. This year has been amazing so far regarding lyrical hip hop and production. 2014 was mostly lackluster (the Iggy Azalea year). The fight for awards this year gonna be something serious. The string of albums that have come out...that are coming out, gives me hope. If this track is called CPR, I got to say J Cole's Be Free may have been the 911 call.

***** Or he's probably watched Roots, or grew up in Virginia. I grew up in Fredericksburg/Spotsylvania county, so I learned a lot about Kunta Kinte. It wasn't hard to find information about his life.

I wonder, is it really towards drake tho?? Or someone else

f jaramillo dr. dre

f jaramillo He already had a fallout with Drake over the Control verse. So it'd make sense that it was Drake he was going after. djleeparody why would he go after Dre who is his boss and mentor, and who doesn't hide the fact that he got ghostwriters writing his verses unlike Drake?

djleeparody I doubt it seeing as Dre helps to mentor Kendrick, unless it was a bit of banter that Dre didn't mind

DjLj11 im not sure but ive heard from plenty sources that he was calling out dre

I ain't reading all that shit FOH b

true.. through an thru
