This is easily one of the most complex and greatest albums ever made. There's so much to digest that there's almost no way to understand it all first few listens. I recommend watching videos which do a great job at showing just how many layers and thoughts went into every aspect of the making of this album, its amazing. Even when you think you understand a song entirely, you can find another thing elsewhere which completely opens up your mind and doubles its meaning. On "These Walls" for example, I picked up fast that the second verse was about the prison cell walls of the womans lover, but it wasnt til later that I picked up that that man was also the man who killed Kendricks friend from the song "Sing About Me, Im Dying of Thirst". That completely blew me away. The fact that hes using his "power" as a "famous rapper" to get back at him for killing his friend by having sex with his lover. This album is amazing and generational to say the least.

Oh, OutKast changed the rap scene forever. They were so open and free with their themselves and their sound in an era of rap that tended to express a harder/tougher side of life. They still go into serious and thoughtful topics, but they really were creative and opened the rap world to what the South can do. They influenced a lot of Atlanta rap, like EARTHGANG. They weren't even accepted by the culture at first, but they gained the acceptance of the culture and changed it forever. They are truly pioneers and legends in their own right.

@TheLastOutlaw289 Год назад

Outkast so overrated I can’t stand these dudes.

@m16fermy Год назад

I always said how Earthgang reminded me of Outkast before I found out they were from Atlanta and it's because of their style the way they present themselves it really brought me back to those times when I started drinking at 8 years old playing dominoes with my dad my uncle and my older brother and we had the 100 disc changer in the stereo and listen to every single outcast album back to back those were the days bro 😅

As a white European teen back when this was released (and even now), this album really helped me to get a sense of social injustices in the US. A topic that was very objective to me was suddenly connected with emotions and personal experiences. That‘s not where this album stops though. I feel like a lot of Kendrick‘s messages a applicable to social and structural issues all over the world, which makes me come back to it over and over again and take new learnings away from every listen. Add that to the personal struggle he describes on many of the songs and I have a hard time finding a more thought out and layered album out right now. I‘m forever grateful to Kendrick for releasing TPAB. Also, really appreciate your reactions. I‘m usually a quiet watcher of yours, but I had to comment on this one 🫡

What I love so much about this album is even the music, like the instrumentals, tell the same story. Like in King Kunta the octave goes up every time he repeats the hook, or how he’s breathing in For Sale because he was just “running for answers”. Just so good I’m glad you finally experienced this

@pathreacts Год назад

absolutely incredible!

@papa_p4965 Год назад

One of my favorite examples of musical storytelling on this album is how Kendrick utilizes rhythm and the nature of the musical measure to reinforce the lyrical concepts on Momma. If you listen to his flow in each verse, a lot of the lines start after the downbeat of each bar and he's also rhyming across the bar line which gives an off-beat/syncopated feeling to his flow almost like it's wandering around. For context the downbeat, the first beat of a bar, is the strongest or most stressed beat in a bar or measure of music. At the end of each verse, the word "home" always lands on the downbeat of the bar which provides a strong feeling of resolution, like you're finally landing at home since he has been avoiding the downbeat a lot and 'wandering' throughout the verse. Just like how in the poem he talks about how he went running for answers until he found home.

@rubrub5264 3 месяца назад

I feel like in Wesley's Theory, the chorus (at first I did love you...) is actually him talking about Lucy, AKA Lucifer, AKA Uncle Sam, AKA money in general. He's saying he loved and clung to his fortune, but now he realizes he doesn't love money, he just wants to use it. The bridges he burned accordingly could be referring to multiple things, such as the spot in heaven referenced later in the album.

I can’t describe this album any better so I’ll just copy and paste my comments from Bob’s video 👍: People often use hyperbole when describing music or just things they love in general, but this album is literally one of - if not the most lyrically dense album ever made. It’s hard to even describe how much weight it holds and the amount of meaning it possess. It’s really more than an album. Although this type of praise seems overzealous and even unnecessary, once you go down the rabbit hole of research/ simply listening and discovering the different meanings it’s very difficult to dismiss. While I don’t like to throw around the word “genius” this is an album that could only be made by someone with an astute understanding of the world at large and more importantly themself.

Indeed, this album is one of the most album aver made One thing I find interesting, is how despite how massive of a deal this was, nobody in the game tried to really replicate what kindred put out here. With most big albums you do see some sort of creative uhh appreciation, but this time it was different. Part of it could be due to soundcloud rap rising so much at the time, another could be from how this album is so clearly an assortment of countless craftsmen at their apex, you can't realistically try replicating it without being clearly watered down.

I don't know how many times I had chills watching this video... amazing work on understanding and explaining what the album is and your perspective as well path!! thank you

@justin1355 Год назад

It's so cool to me that there are people out there that just love music as much as she does, it's almost relieving

@cleeshay Год назад

Always cool to see someone dip their toes into a new genre! I hope you continue to have fun exploring all types of music. I appreciate the fact that you clearly enjoy the music but can also approach it with such thoughtfulness and introspection.

@ale11_ Год назад

One of my favorite things out of this channel is the voice over. Hearing your thoughts AS we watch your reaction is far more intriguing than guessing what you could be thinking in a specific moment. Top tier !

@danielmerriman8118 Год назад

Sza’s CTRL and J Cole’s 2014 FHD are a must listen Loved the reaction Path ❤️

@rastivicyco2661 Год назад

You've grown so much in your editing skills!! I love how you tell the story of the album whilst not just reacting to it like alot of other channels! Your videos are so well edited🔥

@aryanshshrivastava2650 Год назад

The sheer amount of love and care you put into truly understanding Kendrick's story as a reactor is heartwarming, and I'm inspired by the way you've edited and put this together. One of the best reactions to one of my favorite albums: you have yourself a new subscriber

Seriously love the way this channel merged video essays with video reactions. So creative

@Rogersensei93 Год назад

This one is tough to digest on first listen. But after a couple of listens not only do you hear clearly what he's saying, every song starts to have profound meaning you can relate to. At least for me that's what happened. Best album of all time for me.

@roll6091 14 дней назад

The format of these videos is actually amazing, watching your initial perspective and hearing your developed thoughts overlayed is just the most perfect presentation of this medium. I've been binging your videos and being able to watch your reactions and hear your thoughts always strikes so much harder than the other reaction content on RU-vid. Thank you for pushing the envelope!

@iameNeRG 7 дней назад

I've Revisited this video so many times. Your Insight and commentary is so good. I love the way these reactions are edited. Cant wait for more in the future!

@TheSmokeyWolf. Год назад

It's actually kinda cool that your point of reference for Kendrick is Mr Morale/big steppers. It gives you like a retrospective point of view on his past works/ struggles. Glad you enjoyed his music, I definitely enjoyed being on this ride through your Kendrick journey. : )

@x0x0skiller2 Год назад

Path, we are here for you! Not for the correct analysis! I understand why you’d care about getting the right answers but the reason why you’ve amassed this audience is because of 1. Your overall calming vibe, 2. The way you intake and approach your reactions and 3. The care and effort you put into listening too music and making videos. Wrong analysis is fine, we genuinely want to hear how your brain works and digests music that we also love. I also don’t mind either way whether you dig into the lyrics upon your first listen or not, as with concept albums missing 1 thing can leave you clued out of the concept as a whole. Love the video though!

Thank you for making this reaction so appreciative and analytical too! This is my favourite album of all time and you picked up on characteristics that I did not notice before which was amazing. I was getting emotional too with you. Keep making these!! the edit was great too

@beepboopp79 6 месяцев назад

Every couple months I come back to watch this, the amount of effort put into your videos really is unmatched. What a special album and what an amazing vid !!!

@pathreacts 6 месяцев назад

Glad you enjoy it :)

@baileydixon4559 Год назад

So excited for this reaction vid! One of my favourite albums ever.

@arturalmeida2143 Год назад

What a journey that reaction was! I can't even imagine how difficult it has been to prepare, record and edit this video. As always, perfect execution, Path!!! Really glad that you manage to pull this off and was able to portrait all your emotions and thoughts on an album that is more than 1 hour long. Also, it was truly inspiring hearing that you came from a very traditional/religious upbring and that's the main reason you didn't listen to a bunch of rap prior to this phase. Surely there is a lot of people that has a similar background and opening up about it is very important to us to realize that is okay to not know all of the metaphors and references of this culture, but to respect it and try to understand is our job as human beigns. Can't wait to see what's next, but, again, congrats a lot!!! btw, you mentioned your desire to expand more on conscious rappers and I think that's a fantastic idea! I would suggest the following albums: - Black on Both Sides - Mos Def - The Low End Theory - A Tribe Called Quest - Things Fall Apart - The Roots - Cheat Codes - Danger Mouse and Black Thought - It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back - Public Enemy - Straight Outta Compton - N.W.A

@pathreacts Год назад

ohhh thank you so much for the kind words and for the recommendations! will definitely keep these in mind, been looking into mos def & the cheat codes album already!

@turdferguson9452 Год назад

Cheat codes is amazing!!! Things fall apart is also a masterpiece, black thought on the mic with the incredible live instrumentation by the roots

@SgtGatorade Месяц назад

This is the first vid I’ve been recommended of yours. mostly due to the Kendrick diss recently, I’ve just been consuming more music content again recently, and specifically Kendrick and J Cole. When I saw your reaction style I was intrigued so I’ve been watching pretty engaged. The reaction to these walls opened my eyes to the depth of the song, because I just never did a genius dive on that one. When I got to u, I actually started tearing up, because I’ve dealt with depression and understand the point of the song, but just never focused on how good it really is. I think after I finish the video, I’m going to listen to the album again, because it’s been a while since I listened without skips. It’s so powerful, and I first heard it as a dumb 15 year old, so most of the messages went over my head.

@SgtGatorade Месяц назад

TLDR, thanks for doing these first reaction deep dives because they help me understand the context I missed when I was younger

@SgtGatorade Месяц назад

My conscious rapper recommendation would be Joey badass, his early albums are great. 1999, All Amerikkkan Badass are really my favorites. Very powerful.

@user-dv3ip4hi9v Год назад

I’m sincerely amazed with how much effort was put into this video, amazing. Your reaction to U almost got me crying to this song like I did at my current lowest back in the day. Amazing work!

@harrisonwhite107 Год назад

The fact that Kendrick had been reciting the poem he’d been reading excerpts from the entire album to Tupac gets me every time. The first time I listened to this album, my Spotify crashed after the last song finished and I was just in disbelief. One of the best albums of all time.

@jacobfreund9368 Год назад

this album is truly a masterpeice not just in hip hop or music, but in the most basic artistic form. Amazing video!!!

@leothearsonist Год назад

I binged the entire Kendrick videos in a single night, love your reactions TPAB and GKMC are one of my favorite albums of all time

Thank you for doing this reaction! A while ago commented on your community tab about the endless analysis that one could dive into with this album, and I was really excited to see that you finally uploaded your reaction. Funny coincidence but just yesterday, I showed this album to one of my best friends for the first time, and now you've uploaded your reaction the next day! :o

These walls to this day is still one of my favorite Kendrick songs, and just favorite songs of all time. The vibe, the lyrics, the way it ties into good kid maad city, everything about it. I especially love the outro to the song, I just love it so much and I really dont know why

@DJKuroh Год назад

My vote would be a Lupe Fiasco album. So many. Food and Liquor. The Cool. Drogas Wave. Tetsuo and Youth. One of the kings of so-called conscious rap and lyricism in general. Or Rapsody's "Eve" album is phenomenal.

@MrKiingpin Год назад

Drogas wave is the most similar to TPAB so would be a good entry, but I'd love to see her react to all Lupe's stuff

@manlikemars2929 Год назад

Eve is a great shout. Love all the samples on that album. She should probably hear 2pac’s discography first though

@justsomejusstsome8994 Год назад

F&L is his best album musically. DW his best album conceptually. The newest of his is a bit of mix of the two strengths.

@beatrax8006 Год назад

This is my favourite album of all time. Listened to it countless times at this point start to finish. The references and the manner they are made in are genius. Every song is a chapter which form this tragic yet beautiful story.

@aust_inc Год назад

Loved your reaction! The voice-over, the lyrics, and the fan comments bring the entire reaction together and sets you apart from other react channels. Your commentary is so insightful and it made me love the album once but from a different perspective. I first heard this album during my first year of college. I downloaded it from iTunes, burned it to a CD, and played it in my car for months on end. This is one of those special albums that come along once in a generation that leaves a lasting cultural impact on hip hop, art, and humanity.

@astraia2012 Год назад

I love this reaction format, the voice overs, the lyrics on screen, the editing, just everything is so 🤌🤌 And to top it all off your voice is so easy to listen to. Up there in the reaction goats.

@zayicza Год назад

"You Aint Gotta Lie" is my favourite song off the album as of late. Its such a slick and groovy anthem of being yourself, instead of continuing to wear the masks we wear as "The Stranger"

@droughdough Год назад

I was expecting a typical reaction video but this is really excellently done and recontextualizes the "reaction" genre. Edit: Also really appreciate that you make effort to sync the beat when you skip segments.

@grospoils31 Год назад

just love how you LIVE in the music, on the second part of "u" the face you made and your voice breaking shows that.

@connorgerhold2532 Месяц назад

From your intuitive means of dissecting this music, to your high-bar of production quality, you've taken one of the greatest albums of all time and shed a new light on the work I haven't seen in my many years of listening to Lamar. Thank you much for your content! Happy to have come across your videos!
