@Ahava I AM'S Feel you I was just trying to play games while listening to the album but I kept zoning out and focusing on the lyrics when listening to songs like father time and mother I sober because of how relatable they were to me
@N you know what? I will have to one hundred percent agree with you. Like it made me cry like two of the songs like just listening to it it broke my heart literally and it just made me reflect on like certain things that swept under the rug that I you have to hear what you know Afro-American families you know it's rough like I can't even sit down and listen to it I just let it play in the background while I was moving around cleaning my house and talking to people on the phone. I think it would have really made me depressed had I set there and listen to the whole thing.
I can't relate to a rapper who's always talking about millions of dollars, exceptionally beautiful woman, cars, houses and clothes cause that's not the kind of life everyone lives. I can however relate to a rapper that tells me not to look at him as an idol cause he has the same problems, unresolved issues, fears, trauma and hurt as I do. He's humanised himself and in doing so has made me understand that even so called idols go through the same shit as everyone else and they also need to heal, that he's just like me. If you understand that you'll realise how groundbreaking this album is.👑
Yes lord!! This man constantly elevates with every album. It’s like he learns more about himself and writes his true feelings about his journey/progress.
The instrumentals on this track are amazing, after a few replays, it became so interesting to me how Kendrick can carry beats so well in his own artistic form he never ceases to amaze me. His album was great, I can't turn it off repeat. So many great stories to dissect.
Its ironic that this song is called united in grief, because based on the reaction to this album over the past 24-hours, kendrick has successfully united his fans in love and joy through the release of his art. Thank you Kendrick.
Lol I was just thinking about my homie that passed away.. he always bumped kendrick in his Integra. Then saw your comment instant like and comment I never do neither lol
I don’t know what one-in-a-billion chance this is, but my grandmother passed away today, the same day as this song’s release. I needed this so fucking badly. I too hope my grandmother can find some peace wherever she is. I’m in here crying in my room after having just held my sobbing grandfather and family members-“united in grief” just speaks so true to what I’m currently feeling that it borderline feels planned. We all grieve different, and I’ll be grieving the woman who raised me by appreciating exceptional art that same as she did while she was alive. I miss you so much Nonna.
Lyrics: I hope you find some peace of mind in this lifetime (Tell them, tell 'em, tell them the truth) I hope you find some paradise (Tell 'em, tell 'em the truth Tell 'em, tell 'em, tell 'em-tell 'em your-) I've been goin' through somethin' One-thousand eight-hundred and fifty-five days I've been goin' through somethin' Be afraid What is a bitch in a miniskirt? A man in his feelings with bitter nerve What is a woman that really hurt? A demon, you're better off killing her What is a relative making repetitive narratives On how you did it first? That is a predator, hit reverse All of your presidents' evil thirst What is a neighborhood reptable? That is a snitch on a pedestal What is a house with a better view? A family broken in variables What is a rapper with jewelry? A way that I show my maturity What if I call on security? That mean I'm calling on God for purity I went and got me a therapist I can debate on my theories and sharing it (Woah) Consolidate all my comparisons Humble enough because time is imperative (Woah) I'm starting to feel like it's only one answer To everything, I don't know where it is (Woah) Popping a bottle of Claritin (Woah) Is it my head or my arrogance? (Woah) Shaking and moving, like, what am I doing? I'm flipping my time through the Rolodex Indulging myself and my life and my music The world that I'm in is a cul-de-sac The world that we in is just menacing The demons portrayed as religion is I wake in the morning, another appointment I hope the psychologist listenin' The new Mercedes with black G-Wagon The way you front, man, it was all for rap I was 28 years young, twenty mill' in tax Bought a couple of mansions, just for practice Five hundred in jewelry, chain was magic Never had it in public, late reaction Fifty K to cousins, post a caption Pray none of my enemies hold me captive I grieve different I grieve different (Huh) I met her on the third night of Chicago North America tour, my enclave Fee-fi-fo-fum, she was a model Dedicated to the songs I wrote in her Bible Eyes like green penetratin' the moonlight Hair done in a bun, energy in the room like Big Bang for theory, God, hopin' you hear me Phone off the ringer, tell the world, "I'm busy" Fair enough, green eyes said her mother didn't care enough Sympathize when her daddy in the chain gang Her first brother got killed, he was twenty-one I was nine when they put Lamont in the grave Heartbroken when Estelle didn't say goodbye Chad left his body after we FaceTimed Green eyes said you'd be okay, first tour sex the pain away I grieve different I grieve different (Huh) The new Mercedes with black G-Wagon The way you front, man, it was all for rap I was 28 years young, twenty mill' in tax Bought a couple of mansions, just for practice Five hundred in jewelry, chain was magic Never had it in public, late reaction Fifty K to cousins, post a caption Pray none of my enemies hold me captive So what, paralyzed, the county building controlled us I bought a Rolex watch, I only wore it once I bought infinity pools I never swimmed in I watched Keem buy four cars in four months You know the family dynamics on repeat The insecurities locked down on PC I bought a .223, nobody peace treat You won't doo-doo me, I smell TNT Dave got him a Porsche, so I got me a Porsche Paid lottery for it, I ain't want it in portions Poverty was the case, but the money wipin' the tears away I grieve different (Everybody grieves different) (Everybody grieves different) I grieve different (Huh)
Kendrick’s new album has grown on me after a few listens, I wasn’t to big into the first few tracks on the first listen, I’ve started to appreciate them more after 3 or 4 listens
definitely exponentially better than DAMN. I didn't "get" that album like other people did, it did sound like it catered to the market imo. This sounds more like Kendrick's storytelling, creativity, fusion of genres and humility and creativity. Hear it here first: Kendrick will one day receive the Nobel Prize for Literature!
I love that he changes his perspective with his voice and his mood too. In one second Kendrick sound like he just woke up in the next second he sound angry, than happy, than agressive, than sad, his high voice and deep voice his normal voice DAYUM BRO WHICH source of wisdom did u sip from?!?!?🐐❤️🔥
This song has the same energy as walking through a museum exhibit showing black art. The pianos are elegant, classic, a little jazzy, like the women’s gowns. The drums are gritty, heart quickening and attention grabbing, like the art itself. The lyrics are like the philosophy behind the art pieces themselves.
This album broke me down, layer by layer, each time I listened to it over that last 24 hours [6x now]. 1st time, I was just amazed at the layered and breathtaking production, which created this almost 3 dimensional space (like a large scale diorama), and Kendrick's words were like a perfect path being formed, guiding me through it. 2nd time, as I was really hearing/feeling his past and life, it kept triggering me into recollecting similar events and experiences. Keywords and sentences in each song kept sending me down a rabbit hole of memories, with the music suddenly sound tracking my own nostalgic journey. By the end, I wasn't recalling my past, I was confronting it. I was taking insecurities and regrets I had, and with the help of Lamar's gut wrenching honesty, mixed with the amazing way he bends his flows around they hypnotic production, I was able to emotionally retrace my steps to the [honest] root causes of things within myself. I was crying all the way through the second half of the album by the end. Its gonna take some time, but this album is one I'm gonna be processing for a while. However, I think I can comfortably say this is Kendrick's Kid A.
nice radiohead drop. love the piano on this record. I have been obsessed with this album since it dropped. This is the best rap album I have ever heard period
@Joshua Summers Na man, internet is so shallow it will make you feel like what you said is too much. It's not, outside of the internet when people feel genuinely moved or impacted, what you said is most people would feel, but afraid to express. Mainstream internet dulls any expression of depth. You're good bro. Your expression doesn't need to be watered down
@Trey Dennison Ye but the internet represents the opinions and sentiments of the masses, which is mad immature and shallow. Where genuine appreciation is viewed as d-riding, and showing emotional intelligence and openness is viewed as suspect. The internet is a terrible judge or jury
Not for everyone! All people with high intelligence and a ear for music and a eye for art will understand this complex masterpiece of music. I study philosophy and Kendrick is on the Niveau of an Greek philosoph. He's putting the human individual in front and over moral, Jesus and God. All words were perfect. He didn't even rap or rhyme just telling facts and the truth. The beats and music are on Point all the instrumentals are precise and perfect placed to underline his message and meanings. Kendrick is like Michael Jackson with 2pac with Shakespeare with Beethoven and Aristoteles. Kendrick forces u to self reflection. Who in human history did this with music??? Who said that u as an individual are more important than God. Nobody but Kendrick.
I'm Dutch and don't understand all the lyrics of Kendrick's album... unfortunately. but do feel the emotion in the songs. He makes the combination between text, beat, emotion and experience so good that as a non-English speaking person you completely understand and appreciate it. Big Kendrick fan from his first album and he continues to amaze me.
the highlight of this song for me was the sonic background sounds that repeated throughout the song, starting at 1:54. amazing album overall. enjoyed it at least as much as his older projects. appreciated the poetry even more. this album will go down as one of the greatest pieces of art ever made.
Feels like he took lessons from Childish Gambino and applied them to his own flow. Takes a humble person whose accomplished so much to continue to learn from others. Big props to Kendrick for this album! 💎🙏!
@Kenrick.. Man.. This album was a journey for me. The way you arranged it was just incredible.. Youre definitely gonna be looked at as one of those rappers that changed the game with this one. This breaks walls down. Listened to it 3 times front to back already. Masterpiece.
@Chris Haney dude that makes zero sense people can like an album not cause it relates to them but because it’s good 😭 there doesn’t need to be a deep meaning for example adhd by Kendrick doesn’t have a deep meaning but it’s a really good song everything you just said is pretty much invalid.
Listens to all his Albums… this was a emotional but lyrical journey…. Everything ties together… the new story teller…. Respect to Slick Rick, Scarface and Andre3000
@Kendrick Lamar I'm not sure that you'll get a chance to see this, but hope it helps anyone who reads it because this album just rekindled my faith so powerfully word for word, some things in this life we just can't ignore at all because it's so loud and the signs blind all things elsewhere and I've needed this for some time. Thank you for being a vessel to let me hear this.
Feel like this is gonna become a theatre production cos of the footsteps, repeated motifs, progressive narrative, the marketing of the tour, songs like 'we cry together' etc
Sorry I'm feeling this so hard thank you Ken for this bro. My mom committed suicide and people cant understand why I'm so distant and I can just say brother "I grieve different" - Kendrick Lamar
such an incredible opening song, i usually don't listen to albums front to back but everytime kendrick puts something out I feel like you need to listen from beginning to end to get the fullest experience.
@PIZ i gave it a try lessened too it twice but nothing I like his creativity but he gave me nothing to vibe with that had a meaning it was strictly message
Dawg the way 3:24 made my body feel just now is insane. This man is on another wavelength. I vividly dreamt of Kendrick last week working on a music video, totally unaware this album was in store for me.
💜💜💜💜💜 I’ve never been flooded with so much in my spirit from any other album before and it’s all good! You accomplished and surpassed it all! This album is a spiritual masterpiece
just when someone might think, what else can he do from here to impress everyone on all kinds of levels? Ok...Couldnt see this coming, but here it is! Love to see it.
I don’t know what one-in-a-billion chance this is, but my grandmother passed away today, the same day as this song’s release. I needed this so fucking badly. I too hope my grandmother can find some peace wherever she is. I’m in here crying in my room after having just held my sobbing grandfather and family members-“united in grief” just speaks so true to what I’m currently feeling that it borderline feels planned. We all grieve different, and I’ll be grieving the woman who raised me by appreciating exceptional art that same as she did while she was alive. I miss you so much Nonna.
When you said "it borderline feels planned", the way the universe works at times, you just never know. This album will stick with you for the rest of your life. Bank on that.
Sending up prayers for You. Your Grandfather, and the rest of Your family and all whose lives were touched by her. Sending love Your way. We all grieve differently.🙏🏽

💯 Aye bro listen im just tryna make a way out of the HOOD like my biggest inspiration KENDRICK if y'all got a minute to check out my music i would really appreciate it I think I really got the talent to make it i swear you wont be disappointed IM NEXT UP🙏🏽💯
“United in Grief” is Best song on the album imo. I find myself returning to this track, after cycling through the entire album several times. It’s mesmerizing to hear Kendrick yell repeatedly , “I grieve different!” Something so simple yet relatable. Finally, the production and transitions are on a different level. This track definitely carries it’s weight on the album.
