@@jacobstathers8823 the album is really good and the flow is awesome. Now 4 your eyes only now that shit is garbage. This albums has a theme and sticks to it.
@@tylerhayes7133 yeah because everyone listens to music for the “thematics” and not because it actually sounds good. That’s like saying I go to the strip club because I like the strippers “personality” f outta here
do you even get it tho? like the saying is him explaining away his vices as grieving when in reality its just him harmfully coping and then it kicks off the whole therapy narrative for the album.
Lyrics of the music United In Grief 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 them, tell 'em the truth) Tell 'em, tell 'em, tell 'em, tell them your- I've been goin' through somethin' One thousand, eight hundred and 55 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 killin' 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 rep'table? 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 (whoa) Consolidate all my comparisons Humblin' up because time was imperative (whoa) Started to feel like it's only one answer to everything, I don't know where it is (whoa) Popping a bottle of Claritin (whoa) Is it my head or my arrogance? (Whoa) 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 religionous I wake in the morning, another appointment, I hope the psychologist listenin' The new Mercedes with black G Wagon The "Where you from?"

My daughter and I listened to this album from start to finish last Sunday, while on the road. 21 and 51 years old. We jammed, grooved, cried and were amazed. A hip hop opera. Incredible. We are busting butts to make ticket money for the Detroit show. Some things can't be missed.
My homie and I used to listening to " DAMN " every single day, unfortunately he past away on august 2022 he didn't get a chance to listening to this masterpiece. RIP Enzo Tavares🕯️
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.
When the album dropped I had this track on repeat for like a whole weekend just for that line. To me that's the best way to intercede in prayer for a loved one.
yeah - is a masterpiece. that instrumental is outstanding. Those piano tones / chord progressions / drum patterns / synth samples. amazing. If you like similar piano tones, feel free to listen to some of my music on channel/sub.
@@TigermoonMusic The drum usage in this sounds a lot like the loops used in 'The Ling of Limbs', would't be suprised if that was their actual inspiration
I have to say this album makes me go threw a whole spectrum of emotions. Sadness, hope, angry, and euphoria from the choice collabs, his technique and style of story telling, and the instrumentals. Never heard anything like it. Never heard a rap artist with such an appreciation for instrumentals in my life.
Nobody paints a clearer picture of the black experience, through rap, than Kendrick. This album may make some uncomfortable, but this album is so necessary. He's grieving while healing and bringing us along for the journey. This album may not make you dance but it'll definitely make you think. Hats off to K- Dot for being authentic.
this is the dream. to be able to express yourself as an artist, completely outside of the mainstream sound, and still have millions of people hearing and seeing your vision as you hoped they would. all time rap legend 💖💖💖
@@Juniichiiro See, I think they're talking about it because the first 15 seconds show Kendrick's versatility. We're all fans because he's a brilliant rapper, lyricist, etc so we all know how capable he is in that respect. But this song highlights another facet to his talent that I wish he would utilize more often.
I agree but i'm not sure if it's the our bias that welve been waiting for years and kendrick finally drop and he started hot. It was fire but i guedd waiting for years adds fuel to it ya feel me?
I can't relate to a rapper who's always talking about millions of dollars, exceptionally beautiful woman, cars, houses, clothes and who's always projecting the image of perfection, 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, and we shouldn't let past trauma and present doubts hold us back. If you understand that you'll realise how groundbreaking this album is.👑
@@jackmarino4808 I agree with you and I want the same but your not understanding what I'm saying, when someone at Kendricks level admits to having faults it takes away the image of perfection all celebrities project, that image that the only way to "make it" is if your a completely emotionally and mentally stable human and all your shit is in order. He's saying you don't have to let past trauma and hurt stop you from achieving all you want.
@@user-zo2ek3mk2s 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 love that "i grieve different part"..there is a sad piano beat mixed with an up tempo drum. So the instrumental speaking the same lyrics as kendrick. Thats dope !
Wow. This is pure artistry. 1st listen, and wow. It is a modern masterpiece. The time signature, the instrumentation along with the flow hitting every pocket. Amazing.
One of the greatest things about Kendrick is that each album he releases sounds completely different than the previous one, five albums and not two albums sound alike He’s always innovating and that’s one reason why he’s the goat This will probably be the aoty, in any case it definitely will be for me Welcome back King Kendrick!
@@anthonyponce5858 and that's one of the reasons why Kendrick is my favourite artist and rapper because he changes up always Eminem is a goat too definitely but the problem is he doesn't like change the sound like Kendrick
I’m 71 and love all kinds of music. My favorite kind is the kind that evokes thought. I’m sitting here analyzing how I grieve - this kind. Thank you for creating this and sharing it.
Just when you think that he can't get better, that he's truly done everything he can, he comes out again with something completely new and amazing. Kendrick is truly an incredible musical artist...
Fr I'm tired of people talking shit about this album it is one of the best if not the best price of music Ive ever heard. Hasn't even been out for 24 hours. I have a huge emotional connection to this album and some of the songs in it
@@spinalrex no disrespect but i conect more emotionally with this album and the things he went through because i have gone through alot of the same things to
I love that Kendrick has the freedom to make whatever music his heart, mind & soul desire without the constraints of the mainstream industry all while maintaining his huge following
Holy damn. Everything from the crown of thorns on the cover to the “I grieve different” has so much meaning Yooooo I just noticed the g!n in his pants and the holes in the walls
The production on this is insane, 1:50 kicks in you get that piano the 808 going in time with it and that little synth melody a few seconds later like oh my gawwd 😭
This is haunting, scary, eerie, impactful. The beat switches stay on par with kendrick's flow and delivery. I love the piano at the end. What an intro.

1:27 - 2:48 is something else for me. I need more of it in my life. I love how the flow feels perfectly matched to the aggression of the percussion and then the piano and violins come in. I guess Ive always had a soft spot for orchestral elements being added into hip hop. Albums like MBDTF are an example of that for me
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.
This song have all the things that made me love this guy. The lyrics, the beat, the rhythm changes, the speed, and the fact that is so enjoyable. This man in not a rapper anymore, he's an artist
Can't lie, I just wanna hear what he has to say. The beats don't matter they're just the vehicle for his message. I'm here for the message. Other rappers people listen for the beats not the lyrics.

Kendricks music always made me feel better about myself. Thank you Kendrick for being there for your fans. Im going through alot right now and i hope this album can help. Much love to you Kendrick.
