There's something so magical about watching others experience something you love for the first time and watch them dissect it and have that "oh, shit" moment. Your friend was good at giving you guys context. Having said that tho, I think the audio might have been a bit low on the music, cs we could here him too much, rapping over Kendrick.

Tae Owens

love the reaction can’t wait for y’all to get to DAMN

Sandra

Audio is so low

Meka Tika

Idk if yall peeped it but in dying of thirst at the end when she was praying with them, the first track is them saying the same lines.

Sans Cullotes

Been waiting for this. Would've been cooler if it was only you, two. Glad you enjoyed it, tho.

Meka Tika

Oh and the acronym for M.A.A.D My angry adolescent divded and My angels on angel dust because that's what his homies accidentally laced his weed with.... Yall should watch his interview where he talked about this album.

AB

Atp yall might as well go on the Kendrick journey! To pimp a butterfly next!

Ariel Smoke

Ya'll should check out the Poetic Justice MV.

Danica Spaulding

I hope you guys check out his live performances…unreal 🤯

I’ve never been more hyped for a ‘deep dive’ and glad you’re getting to hear this as it’s intended. It’s said, Good Kid = a Movie, To Pimp A Butterfly is a Poem, Damn is a Magazine and Mr. Morale is a Play — shoutout to the homie for setting the tone. He’s low key the friend who has seen the movie and says “Watch this.” the whole time 😂 but it’s hard not to rap Kendrick lyrics so I get it. 😂 “To Pimp A Butterfly” is how he grapples with the success of this album. So, think of it as the “good kid” ‘reacting’ to the Industry. 👌🏾

Ro Renea

This is basically a story about him growing up in Compton, so the stories he told are true to his life. Of course it didn’t all happen in one night, but this album is literally a movie. & yes Bitch Don’t Kill My Vibe is pretty much a response to his momma. Because remember he pulled up to go be with Sherane so he’s ignoring his momma’s call, & the brothers also pulled up on him

Ro Renea

& yes that was actually his parents

Ro Renea

Poetic Justice is basically him finally getting to Sherane. That’s why the vibe is different

Ro Renea

He kinda got it wrong on the “I’ll never fade away” part. The girl is talking about being a prostitute & says she feels great & doesn’t need to go to the doctor. But her good health starts fading away (HIV/AIDS), so her voice fades away & she eventually dies

Mizzheaven83

Go and listen to Section 80!! Pleeease! Cuz this definitely loops into it! Yall gonna love Spiteful chant, Kush and Corinthians

Shelice Benson

So glad y’all getting into K.Dot’s discography! TPAB is a great album, but my favorite is DAMN. He got a Pulitzer Prize on it for a reason!!!

bby.bluesi

GKMC is just different. The story telling is out of this world. This album is no skips for me. I'm so glad yall giving it a listen and really listening!

bby.bluesi

Whaaaat... I would suggest your friend listen to DAMN. again bc that was art and that's really the one that talks about the 7 deadly sins.

bby.bluesi

Idk why the friend is getting so much hate bc his feedback and thoughts were great. We all have to remember that our interpretations are just that and not things we know 100% for fact bc Kendrick doesn't give us a flat out answer.. As Kendrick said in the Heart Part 5, "my perception may differ from yours." Please bring him back for all of the Kendrick reactions!!

Kiesha Smartt

I remember hearing Pooks name in y'all's Euphoria reaction 😂

Kiesha Smartt

Love y'all guys! So glad y'all are giving Kendrick some air time.

A F

Loved your reaction ,TPAB album reaction nextttttt please

Spunkbutter

Yall gotta do To Pimp a Butterfly and DAMN. asap!

TEE

You guys should listen DAMN next this one you choose his outcome it can listen from front to back or back to front

Lovely Daye

I think you guys should listen to TPAB but be aware that it is his most conceptual and poetic album which means sonically it can be off-putting. Just keep in mind that he carefully crafted it that way to marry the message. It’s not a car-ride type of album, it’s for you to become more introspective about blackness as he was when making the album.

Rosalind

Reminds me of Miseducation. Lots of people say you can listen to the album forward or backwards and get a different story. Great you guys are open to Kendrick. So many Drake fans think they can’t appreciate both. You can but they are so different. Definitely a sign of maturity.

Nina Mercep

My stepbrother died a year before this came out, at the start of 2011, and growing up he was so deeply in love with hip hop, the way this album hit me was unreal, from the opening prayer to the haunting first track, it'll always remind me of how much he would have loved this album if he were still here. Truly a movie, this album

Levi

We are just black 😂 it was so long ago when I realized it was now and later two

Ty Cawley

He kinda disses him in King Kunta

Andrew

You guys have to react to the deluxe it’s almost a travesty💯

Andres Roman

You guys should definitely relisten to sing about me I’m dying of thirst but know the history of the song and the perspectives he’s talking in, in each verse

BDR90

I'm waiting on y'all to hit the Control Verse. Lol

Willybeast

Y'all gotta check out Overly Dedicated

Willybeast

The cover literally says "a short film by Kendrick Lamar"

Willybeast

On maad city, the gangbanging at the beginning is something everybody that bangs says. They gangbang based on hoods so they ask where you're from. Doesn't just apply to the niggas pressing him at Sherane's

Willybeast

Check the numbers on the album, Poetic Justice is NOT the biggest song of GKMC pretty sure maad city, backseat freestyle, money trees, and swimming pools, maybe even Bitch don't kill my vibe too.

Willybeast

Yeoooo his is not saying he's Jesus Christ on Real

Sheep

I liked your friend's reaction you guys oughta bring him on for Mr Morale

Danielle karassik

You guys have to let the song play because you are missing shit 😭😭😭

bra

finally some good kid love that song so fuckin peak

Chris

Love the reactions, fellas - keep em coming! One suggestion: please stop following along with the Spotify lyrics 🙏🏽 they're auto generated and very consistently inaccurate. This music is best experienced for the first time without reading along imo, but I fully get that Kendrick's lyrics are so dense that it helps to see what you're hearing. If/and when that's the case, genius is SUCH a better resource, especially because it includes insight and explanations into most lyrics, which will only add to your appreciation once you're exposed to all the easter eggs and doubles/triples etc. in K. Dot's words. Much love from an LA fan 🌴

Mrenee627

You shouldn't talk during song. pause it because kendrick still talking while you're excited about major payne. The context is 90% in beginning when you are talking. No disrespect intended for real. Like Kendrick,I want you to feel this ish

Mrenee627

Thks Mr s for the reaction. My pleasure to relisten withyou and your friend.

January

Him skipping the talking parts of the songs explain why he missed so much about what these songs are about. But I like his excitement to want to share this experience with them

January

DAMN is his least favorite?? Yeah, that baby don't be listening for real!!! He didn't listen to the album from start to finish (or reverse)...smh

L U K E

I'm so mad at your friend for spoiling DUCKWORTH for you😭

Tha Dawg

Yall gotta do the bonus tracks
