On Sing About Me the first verse was his homie's brother. His homie got killed, and the homie's brother was telling Kendrick how much he appreciated him. And he was telling Kendrick, that he wants revenge for who killed his brother. Then he said if he dies before Kendrick's album drops...then the gunshots go off because its symbolic of him dying before Kendrick's album drops. The second verse is the sister of Keisha, from Keisha's Song on Section 80, who didnt appreciate Kendrick making a song about her story. The 3rd verse is Kendrick explaining he wasnt trying to offend her but he did it to help other people out there that need to hear the story.

This one is one of my favorite albums of all time, very happy to see you react to it, Sing About Me, I'm Dying of Thirst is probably one of the best songs ever created, and the skits on this album are perfect and help create this movie feel.

The song Compton sounds so different because it's supposed to be the credits rolling, so it sounds very triumphant, as credits often do.

"i'm waiting for my broke-ass friends to get PCs so we can play together" that might be the REALEST thing in this whole video, realer than Kendrick's verses even 🤣

LMAO J ROCK ON FEMALE VOICE YOU TRIPPIN

Bro I’ve been listening to Kendrick since fuckin forever and idk why my goofy ass never understood why master splinters daughter meant HOOD RAT GOD DAMN

Also, Brenda's Got a Baby is a song by 2Pac off of his first album, the song talks about a pregnant teenager

the instrumental of the the 2nd part to M.A.A.D city generally is so beautiful i year up everytime i hear it. it’s soooo nasty it makes me emotional lmaooo😭

This is my favorite album im really glad to see a fresh reaction channel good luck man

This album is so incredibly Good . I’ve seen Kendrick live last year and it’s just a crazy experience.

I love the way you do reactions. Sharing your thoughts during the music. Keep doing good work ❤

Really chill reaction, intro was a good touch :)

the first blunt had you foaming at the mouth is actually shown in Art of Peer Pressure at the tape recording when you hear his homies talk about he got the blunt with the "shenanigans" in it

on ‘sing about me’ the first verse is from the perspective of the brother of dave who was killed at the end of swimming pools, and the second about the brother of keisha from ‘keishas song’ off section.80

brooo i love that you recognized the fade away part of sing about me, a lot of ppl miss that😭

Been waiting for this❤❤❤

Definitely go back through all of these songs and go through everything he references, especially with samidot. Fire video

Damn you gotta make it big, you're so professional and sharp, listening to you talk is a bliss

Kendrick is my favourite rapper. He inspires me to make my own music. I’m a rapper too, but I’m not very good yet.

You're at 500 so quick because you're so high quality. I see other react channels occasionally mention they don't like to pause because they know the viewers don't like that. But if I didn't want to hear your thoughts I would just be listening to the music myself! You're listening to and enjoying the music but also taking the time to actually explain your thoughts on the songs, which is what react channels should do. It makes for a very engaging video. Predicting 1k within your next 2-3 videos. Sort of recommending a whole artist here. JID bounces back and forth with K-Dot for my favorite artist. While Kendrick is definitely the more "thoughtful" side, JID just makes straight up sonically fucking fantastic music but is still able to keep way more substance than most artists. Dude finds pockets and flows in places that shouldn't be possible. As far as studio albums go, he debuted with The Never Story and was pretty much instantly signed to J-Cole's Dreamville before dropping DiCaprio 2 (a follow up to his 2015 DiCaprio EP). Both The Never Story and DiCaprio 2 have plenty of substance as I said but are mostly a showcase of his technical ability. After about 5 years he drops a "sequel" to TNS, The Forever Story. TFS is absolutely fucking insane, and was in a lot of people's opinion AOTY even over Kendrick. His technically ability somehow got even better, his production and mixing got much better, and the album has great singing, story telling, and substance to it. It's probably my favorite album of all time behind TPAB.

Ayyyyy let's go!!! Gonna watch this in a sec!

just found you from the tpab reaction and this and i really do enjoy these. you just seen so genuine and reactions are a1. keep it up man 👍🏼

Its a honor being in the first 500 of your subscribers

Excited for DAMN.! Hopefully this gets to 500 likes quickly

Love that reaction g

you gonna get big bro really good content

awesome video! keep up the great work

much love, glad i found your account🖤 id love to see you at 100k+ subs

Banger video🔥🔥🔥🔥

You’ve past 1k now and there’s only further growth from here on. Keep up the good work!

Born in Houston as a white kid, but my dad was involved in crime and we were basically transients. I always always always remember having my mom's voice kinda perma-stuck like the good angel from cartoons. Even over little stuff like goofing off with friends when we were five and some kids wanted to go into the locked laundry room...little stuff. I was a buzz kill kinda, but trouble was always around. And after time, you end up losing the numbers game. The older you get, the more you interface with the outside world, and you still have to carry that. It's all of the BS from that past -- the people who die early before their time. The people who can't shake the drugs. And I'm somewhere else now, doing better, but I look back and it's so real. All of that braggadoccio on "Backseat Freestyle" or the more sincere wishing on "Money Trees"... It's like those private conversations with just your boys about that day coming up any moment when someone is gonna break out and do something special. It all feels very fragile and weak. When Kendrick shifts voice on tracks like "good kidd" or "sing about me" and speaks from a more mature vantage point, the insight is staggering. "What am I supposed to do when the topic is red and blue and you understand that I ain't, but know I'm accustomed to?" Or earlier ''I got animosity building it's probably big as a building me jumpin' off of the roof is me just playing it safe." It's understood that growing up in the hood puts people in a spot where you're damned if you do, damned if you don't. Hell, Too Short rapped about that on The Ghetto: "You can pay your billls and not drink too much, but the problems of life you'll be throwin up." I love how he closes in "Sing about me" with "look at the weak and pray one day you'll be strong, fighting for your rights even when you're wrong, and hope that one day you'll sing about me when I'm gone." But he doesn't even stop the self-interrogation. Beyond that, he's still asking, "did I put enough work in?" And that's why I love Kendrick. I feel he's actually trying to heal a lot of damage not just for himself, but for his entire community. And he understands that it is a process and needs to just...check in on it. Putting that in the art is next level and I love this album for that.

Haven't seen you before but you got a new subscriber. Good quality and you were paying attention fully.

Great reaction brooo🦾

Can't wait for DAMN.

M.A.A.D. stands for Me an Angel on Angel Dust wich is said at the end of the song M.A.A.D city

I hope he completes it and does DAMN next Kendrick never misses

I was always more into folk and jam bands but this album is a masterpiece and is top 3 for me

Love you, guys!💙

Fantastic video, especially when your Sub count is accounted for. Small channel with great content is my jam.

Top 10 rap album ever.

Bro needs more subs, keep it up, love the videos

I think Dave from Real is Dave Free which is one of Kendricks closest friends helped Kenny found pgLang and is also a director of most of Kendricks and Baby Keem's music videos.

Loving your stuff man! If you haven't seen Avatar The Last Airbender or Legend of Korra yet, I would watch the hell out of those :) BTW mAAd city is "my angels on angel dust", though can also mean "my angry adolescence divided"

nice reaction brother👍🏼👏🏽

Yo keep making reactions these are great

Acronym for M.a.a.d city is Made Me An Angel off Angel Dust. He tells you on the very last verse of madd city explaining why he rarely smokes now cuz he had a traumatic experience... someone laced the first blunt he ever hit wit cocaine.

Nice reaction 👍

Hold on you gotta do the bonus tracks if nothing else than for the BDKMV remix. Jay got a great verse and Kendrick's 2nd on it might be my personal favorite of his

You should definitely listen to Brenda’s Got A Baby by Tupac, then listen to Keisha’s Song, Sing About Me, and These Walls in light of that. Could potentially make a really cool video dissecting them too. The message of generational institutionalised trauma runs thick through Kendrick’s work and I find it poignant and profound.

OTW to 1k

(Hopefully you’ve got these questions answered by now but ) Poetic Justice is a movie ft. Tupac & Janet Jackson. The song is a Janet sample (Anytime Any Place) Sherane is Master Splinter’s daughter bc she’s a young hood rat The sister from Sing About Me is Keisha from Keisha’s song on Section.80. Kendrick really works in levels & layers You doing great bro

I'm not sure about the timeline either but there was a skit after the first track, later when his friends said "we're going to drop him off---because you know he tryna F on sherane tonight" So for sure his homies wasn't with him when he got jump. I think he went to her house multiple times because he said in money tress "I fuck sherane and went to tell my bros," ironically after he said this he said then usher "let it burn" came on (i think he said that), which could mean either he ghosted her for a time or she ghosted him for a time, but I'm pretty sure the events of the first song was not the first time he went to see her. Great reaction btw, i know i'm not a patron supported but i would like to hear a reaction of my favorite album of all time: "civil demo" by Isaiah Rashad.

anna wise practically did all the female voclas money trees, bitch don't kill my vibe etc

DAMN. Is the next

i like the intro keep it up

Dont kill my vibe, Money trees & poetic justice so good

Bro started this off telling us to sit back and listen to this album like we haven't LIVED with it for like a decade 😂🤦🏾‍♂️

Yeah, TPAB more just has references to GKMC, I’d say if any tracks have to do with GKMC it’s Weasley Theory which is kind of a continuation from Compton, u which is a continuation of Sing About Me, and Momma is just about Compton so you could say it does I guess, but it’s not a big deal

Yo Im late as hell, but WOLF by tyler the creator(the album) is underrated. I suggest Answer this one. It makes me cry ngl Also even if I don't know you Im so happy to be part of this amazing channel growing

great album

Loving your channel, you should defiantly get a discord server

I clicked this because of your thumbnail is hilarious

You react to great albums so far. I'd love it if you reacted to MF DOOM. So either "Mm.. Food" or the classic "Madvillainy".

I'm unsure if you know about it or not, but there's a podcast called dissect that goes into explaining/gives well-presented information about albums and music in general. He's gone over all of Kendricks albums to some capacity if you wanna check it out on your own time :D

The voice at the beginning of Poetic Justice was Kendrick with some kind of effect on his voice.

damn I thought you were gonna listen to the deluxe songs as well cause Jay kills his verse and then Kendrick comes right after with with a bomb 😂

Facts…. Martin Scorsese level storytelling but all audio. Like we was there! Ayyyy yah yah yah

the homies weren't in the car with him when he pulled up to sherane's. The "shenanigans" he did with his friends were in a white van, as told in The Art of Peer Pressure

I always felt like GKMC was a modern day Chronic or a pt2 of the Chronic album

"Money trees is the perfect place for shade..." i take that to mean you cant really just chill/relax until you secure the bag that you need to be able to relax for a minute.

The skits were actually his parents too. Pretty dope.

waitin for mm&tbs

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🔥

Ay Another great reaction bro and yea you should definitely react to drake. Take care, nothing was the same, and if you're reading this it's too late are must listens

Compton is probably showing that he made it after all and he's now giving back like his mom said that's why It's different

Do the deluxe version

Master splinter daughter is a snitch/rat reference since Sherane set up Kendrick

you gotta listen to CAFEE FOR ME by Saba, 10/10 masterpiece

KEDNRICK WAS A GOOD KID IN THE MAAD CITY

1:06:46

“They’re in Gotham right now what the fuck” lmao facts - actual warzone

can you react to Get an Idea by Kenny Mason? I feel you'd really enjoy it!

You needa react to The Weeknd trilogy mixtapes frfrrr

React to Rodeo - Travis Scott , all time great

Go back and listen to the songs again to get a better understanding of the story line.. thanks

I NEVER PAID ATTN TO MONEY TREES LYRICS. IM DYINNN HAAHAHA

When he said dominoes , he’s talking about the game us on the westcoast play… not the pizza

The reason for her being 'Master Splinters Daughter' is because her brothers or cousins would wear colors like the turtles do, meaning they would gang bangers. They also beat people up so lmao also

He rolled up to her crib solo. She set him up and his homies spinner the block

include timestamps

Listen to now or never

Watching you struggle with TMNT lore was painful 😖

Umm Kendrick wrote those verses for Dre.

Who else thinks kendrick could write a movie script.

React to mac millers albums

Please react to Madvilliany by MF DOOM

Something I think you've might missed is the connection between Money Trees and m.A.A.d City, in Money Trees he mentions his uncle getting killed in Louis Burgers, and in m.A.A.d City from another guy's perspective about seeing a guy with his brain's blown out (2 bullets on my uncle Tony's head) at the same burger stand (Louis Burgers) where **** hang out. It's very difficult getting everything he wants to say in the album so I suggest you to listen to different perspectives so you can get a more complete idea of the album.

Don't talk while the song plays.. you messing up the reaction 🚶‍♂️💔
