Kendrick Lamar - m.A.A.d City METALHEAD REACTION TO HIP HOP!!! 

Kendrick explained "M.A.A.D" is an acronym for "My Angels on Angel Dust". It is also known as "My Angry Adolescence Divided."

He doesnt come up with his storys, he lived in compton my man

The thing that makes this album an classic in hip hop is the fact that it's literally a movie. If you listen to the album in order it tells such a cohesive story with incredibly well executed themes. Both sonically and in the more traditional sense. You guys should do a live stream or something where you go through a whole album! That way hip hop fans can give you info and it can be more like a conversation during the reaction!

"This is not a tape recording saying that he did it, but ever since that day I was looking at him different" was that line that made me laugh the most on that track and that album. Commercially Kendrick is a lyrical king

The other voice is MC Eiht

Second guy rapping is MC Eiht. Hes also from compton and is a a veteran in the rap game being part of a rap group called Comptons Most Wanted in 1992. Edit: m.A.A.d is an acronym referring to where kendrick grew up. He never told anyone what it meant, however, he revealed that the meaning is mentioned somewhere in his album. The meaning is unveiled at the end of the song. However Kendrick later would define its meaning as My Angels on Angel Dust, Meaning that in the hood you're best friends and past friends are either dead or on drugs.

I love how passionate Jon gets about Kendrick's wordplay, it's nice to see someone else notice it and get excited about it like I do

The Recipe by Kendrick ft. Dr. Dre is a great one!!!!!!!

J Cole-A Tale of Two Citiez

That album is a masterpiece, storytelling on another level

I love how casually y’all acknowledge how ridiculous his wordplay is

DO MONEY TREES

U is the Kendrick Song that'll hit you in your soul

Fr this channel has a great format and is destined to be huge

1:27 "This channel is gonna go for a long long time" That aged well

I agree that Kendrick's lyricism is so good that it's actually infuriating. You sit there wishing you could write like that

Listen to Swimming Pools and King Kunta next

Random fact: m.A.A.d stands for My Angry Adolescence Divided. Good Kid Maad City is a storytelling album

"This channel is going to go for a long long time"

I forgot how much this song slaps!!! More Kendrick pls!!

I haven’t watched yet but this is what I been waiting for since I found this channel 🤤

Cartoons and Cereal- by Kendrick Lamar

Earl Sweatshirt - he’s one of the best lyricists and has a lot of these old school beats. Check out his song Chum

Simon applauding at 5:40 put a massive smile on my face. Best music reaction channel on RU-vid.

The other rapper is MC Eiht who is also from Compton. He's an older rapper. He's on this song to help Kendrick paint a picture of where he's from and a day in the life.

The whole good kid maad City album is like this but I’d choose swimming pools (drink) as something that shows the trap in good Kid maad city My favorite Kendrick album to pimp a butterfly is more jazzy.I don’t think you’ve reacted to any of the songs on there. Id recommend King Kunta for sure.And maybe blacker the berry of u as they are very VERY hard hitting especially blacker the berry

this will always be my favorite Kendrick song. The way he inflects his voice really makes it seem like you're getting a glimpse into his adolescence

I haven’t seen any of y’all videos but I love how much love y’all show him. Much respect.

I think Backseat Freestyle by Kendrick is a good one to react too. It has a music video too!

First half of the song he's dreaming about how hellish Compton is and the latter half after "wake yo punk ass up" he wakes up and his dream is reality

Man I love this channel so god damn much. You guys don't know how much I appreciate what you do. Please keep it up !!!

m.A.A.d stands for 'My Angry Adolscence Divided' and/or [Made] Me an Angel on Angel Dust' which is the very last lyric of the song. Also the other guy on the song is MC Eight

Simon mentioned that it sounded like Dr. Dre, Dre actually produced the track :) Edit: ima use this opportunity to say, PLEASE REACT TO MORE TRAVIS SCOTT some suggestions: Nightcrawler Mamacita Antidote Oh My Dis Side Piss on Your Grave ft. Kanye West goosebumps ft. Kendrick Lamar

React to jid never or joeybadass Christ conscious

Kendrick & j Cole - Black Friday

I really appreciate y'all because you actually take the time to analyze lyrics and take these songs for what they are, as opposed to a lot of the metal heads I grew up around who just shit on anything that wasn't the style they liked. This song really spoke to me because I'm a poor Appalachian kid and Kendrick describing some of the shit he's been through (specifically the "Where you from? Fuck who you know, where you from? Where your grandma stay, huh?" shit) is immediately relevant to my own experiences and helped me understand what folks living in places like Compton go through in a more visceral way than some generic pop song ever could. He created a bridge between my hillbilly experience and the experiences of someone in the ghetto, and I will always respect him for that.

listen to U and Backstreet Freestyle by kendrick

next one black friday!

You guys are gods! I love you! I am not at all excited by metal music, but so happy you are more open minded than I am. I love that you are open!

Love you guys. These reactions are so different than anything else. Especially love the reactions from the bald dude (Jon obviously is great too (love his channel too), but he knows more - bald dude has really surprising reactions) Keep up the good work!

PLEASESEE FOR ALL THAT IS HOLY, REACT TO BLACK FRIDAY BY J COLE AND KENDRICK LAMAAAAAAR!!!!!

The other rapper is MC Eiht and m.A.A.d. stands for My Angels on Angel Dust

every time I watch a video of sorts I go back and listen to Kendricks whole discography start to finish. Love the man like family.

Backseat freestyle would be your new favorite no doubt

A.D.H.D by Kendrick Lamar- Timeless classic of his came out an album before Good Kidd MAAD city

Alright or king kunta have nice beats too and as you said his lyrics are always on point. But these two songs are sonically pleasing as well

I swear to me you guys aren’t just metal heads anymore you know so much about hip hop and rap already you actually listen, focus on lyrics, beats, delivery etc. I feel so proud and love what you guys do. Respect! ✊🏾 keep up the work

I spent about 5+ hours straight watching your reactions, you guys are awesome :)

J.I.D - Never

REACT TO JUNKY BY BROCKHAMPTON

ive watched a lot of reaction videos and yall r up there with lost in vegas for me at least solid channel keep rockin it

Yesssss!!! i am soo happy to see you guys react to this finally! this is kendrick's best track, imo. fucking flawless

A$AP Rocky & Skepta- Praise the Lord

Nosetalgia - Pusha T ft Kendrick Lamar

Hey guys! I'm sooo happy I found your channel... Been watching your videos for a while, and I thought I'd let you know, because your content is awesome, literally what a reaction video should be. Plus, I love the kind of 'outsider' point of view you have, you actually make me stop on things I did not react to when listening to the song myself. Seeing you educating yourselves in hiphop, and the open mind with which you do it, is amazing, huge W for you. Somebody probably already requested that, but you should react to "The Blacker The Berry" by Kendrick. I think it was the second third single before the release of To Pimp a Butterfly, it's such a powerful track! Also, I would give anything to see you guys do a collab with the guys at the Lost in Vegas channel. They're really cool dudes, very knowledgeable in hip hop, I guarantee you that would be one of the most interesting conversations ever uploaded on the interwebs lol Cheers from Paris!

Loved the reaction, I respect that you guys take the time to analyze and understand hip hop, subscribed

Yesss we're gonna turn Simon into a Kendrick fan

M.A.A.D. city has alot of interpretations but if you listen to the last words of kendrick's last verse "Made me an Angle on Angle Dust" is one interpretation of M.A.A.D.

Haha, love that this already has 47k views the day of putting this video up. Great song, and a great channel! Keep up the great work!

I knew you guys where ready for this one loool great reaction!! keep banging them beats!!!

Kendrick- alright

i knew you guys would love this! thats why ive wanted you guys to listen to more of these type hype kendrick tracks! black friday, look out for detox, king kunta, etc..

Love what you guys are doing! I’m a recent hip hop fan as well. Probably about 2 years now. One thing I learn quickly was that some albums need to be listened to from first song to last because it presents a story. Listen to the podcast dissect and it goes into a lot of detail of Kendrick’s to pimp a butterfly. It’ll make you see his music in a different perspective. Keep up the good work!

Your channel is fucking sick guys, relate to what you guys are saying a lot and it’s dope to see a listener of another genre reacting to the music I listen to daily, keep it up ❄️

OutKast - Ms. jackson or roses both incredible songs

You've got to do some of The Weeknd's Trilogy, not hip hop but truly unique and dark with mind blowing vocals...

So glad y'all checked this one out 🙌🏽 The whole album is fire! A story from beginning to end.

yea you guys are spot on about that "sing about me im dying of thirst" is really heavy and it would be hard to fall in love with him for that song but when you do you can come back an appreciate it for what it is

Do money trees

Kendrick Lamar - The Art of Peer Pressure!

I’ve been waiting for this one ☝🏽

The Isley brothers are soul music legends, “in between the sheets” is one of their biggest hit songs....

U by Kendrick Lamar Or I by Kendrick Lamar Either choice is fine by me!

Mac Miller - Programs Lil Peep - Star Shopping (2018 Fan Made Music Video) Travis Scott - Drugs You Should Try It WifisFuneral - Any of his songs

liked before i even saw love this channel!!!

Finally you react to my favorite song. Let's goooooo!

🔥J Cole x Kendrick Lamar - Black Friday🔥

PLEASE REACT TO TYLER THE CREATOR

Another great video! The second part of the song uses the best from Ice Cube's Bird in the Hand which also is a sample of BB King's Chains and Things

Nosetalgia from Pusha and Kendrick is amazing and both verses are fire, love from Brasil, love the channel!

Phoenix - ASAP Rocky 1 Train - ASAP Rocky DANG- Mac Miller Night Job - BAS Blue Notes- Meek Mill Dreams and Nightmares- Meek Mill 1942 flows - Meek Mill 4r da squad- Isaiah Rashad Never - J.I.D would love to see you do any of these P.S Feature verse is MC Eiht

If you want more like this then "XXX" from his DAMN album

The bodies on top of bodies bar where he says "between the sheets like the isleys" is a reference to the song "Between the Sheets" by the Isley Brothers.

This is one of the greatest rap songs of all time

Kendrick Lamar - God is Gangsta

Pusha T - Nosetalgia (Feat. Kendrick Lamar) Drake - Crew Love (Feat. The Weeknd) Best of polar opposites IMO

King Kendrick 👑 you guys deserve more vieuws and subs!!

Good reaction guys im glad you enjoy Kendricks skills! A tune that you should give a listen to is Cartoons and Cereal by Kendrick and Gunplay

Earl Sweatshirt - Chum & Kendrick Lamar - How Much a Dollar Cost

"m.A.A.d" is and acronym for both "my Angels on Angel dust" and "my Angry Adolescence divided."

Jon and Simon exemplify the two types of head bangers: Jon head bangs every 1 and 3 and Simon every beat

Keep em coming guyz

Schoolboy Q - Groovy Tony would be sick

Why has nobody told y’all to bounce with “backseat freestyle” and I have to request “Kings Dead” partially for the Lols but it’s a good song most of it.

I knew you’d love this one, and I think you should try GOOD KID next.

They lied. The channel didn't go on for a long long long long time. 😥

Or Isaiah Rashad

Do Tyler the Creator or Earl Sweatshirt next.

You should watch his performance on the Grammy's if you haven't already. He performed this song with Imagine Dragons. They mixed this song with their song "radioactive". It was soooo good!

5:18 this is/was everyone's reaction circa 2012. And yet, *still* , one of the most impressively hard transitions on an album ever. This song practically cemented young K.Dot a Compton legend. Thanks for this video. PS: MC Eiht is the feature on here guys. He's a well known West Coast rap legend. He blessed the culture with some classics but most importantly his acting appearance in Menace II Society and song composed for said movie is very well respected in black film. This validates the album plot and familiarizes listeners of the good kid m.A.A.d city theme. Check it out some time!
