sophomore year in high school my English teacher taught this album as a whole unit. we would listen to a track and then read out the lyrics. we would discuss and analyze it along with learning about the context around the track. we went track to track like they were chapters in a book. I will always be grateful that my teacher choose to teach us that. most people would say that TPAB is a superior album and I don't think I would disagree, but this album I hold higher in my heart because of that unit.

I noticed those details after many more re-listens of the album. Same with "and if die before your album drop I hope.. *gunshots*". This album is flawless in my eyes, the attention to detail in the production of it always mesmerizes me. "The art of peer pressure" is criminally underrated, imo one of his best songs, it has it's own story, same with SAMIDOT. And the names of the tracks are really cool, on my first listen when I saw the title "Sherane aka Master Splinter's daughter" I was really intrigued to listen the album, and the vibe of the track is immaculate. It is honestly my favourite album of all-time.

As a father, I pretty much lost it when his parents are calling during 'Real' and telling him sorry for hearing about your homeboy, I hope you make it back, etc. "Sing this song it's all for you, sing this song it's all for you" is me hearing Kendrick saying to his parents, "I'm trying so hard. I'm trying really, really hard." That coupled with the helplessness his parents feel in that situation, to me, is devastating. I feel for Kendrick, I feel for his parents, I feel for anyone who feels stuck in that situation. Incredible moment of the album.

Sing about me, I’m dying of thirst is quite possibly the greatest track ever. So beautifully made, every single lyric. Every verse. The beats. Only a few songs come close to it.

"Sing About Me" was the way I actually discovered Kendrick and got into hiphop. I'm a white guy who grew up in a suburban, middle/upper middle class environment in the 2000s that really looked down on hiphop as a genre, so I had been force fed this view of hiphop as garbage music. Then, in 2014, I was going through a truly awful time in my life. Borderline suicidal, waking up in a cold sweat that had soaked through my clothes every morning for weeks on end, and feeling utterly destitute and worthless. But one night I was browsing KZread, desperately looking for anything to distract me from my misery, and found that song. From the get go, it was not what I expected aesthetically or lyrically from a hiphop song. And as I listened to the lyrics, I was literally reduced to tears over the stories and sentiment K-Dot was expressing. It made a profound impact on my mindset at the time and helped me get through the worst period of my life while showing me the value in hiphop as a means for black men and women like Kendrick and so many others to tell their stories. And now I'm 27, doing very well, and I have the waveform of the line "Promise that you will sing about me" tattood on my left forearm. A song that genuinely changed my life

I just want to add, that I am glad your dad is grasping the depth of Hip Hop/Rap. A lot of people think its trash music as majority of what is played on radio are the turn up/feel good/violence/bubble gum rap. If more people took some time to dig a little deeper, they will understand how great of a genre it actually is, if not the best, as it is the most versatile. I just love watching people actually understand what hip hop is all about. This type of hip hop is the backbone/life blood of the genre, but there is a time and a place for all the other sub-genres as well.

Yesss omg Velvet Rope is ICONIC

As someone who grew up a teen in mid-90s LA when it was a gang capital it warms my heart to see someone like Kendrick come from the next generation and be a beacon, but more importantly a messenger to the masses of the trials of being a youth, a good well-intentioned kid in a mad city. Dude even won a Pulitzer Prize for his album DAMN… which has one of my favorite tracks by him ever… Fear.

I remember skipping high school as a sophomore to listen to this album. Section80 was a personal favorite of mine. I listened to GKMC on repeat all day and was more amazed through every listen. Being able to see Kevin’s first reactions is great because I’m always able to witness an experience that I wish I could feel again. I think that’s why I can’t stop watching this channel, it’s so good!

Kendrick has a 3 peat classic Album run. Some people don't give Damn. enough credit, but without a doubt it is not up for debate, GKMC and TPAB are modern day classics. Very hard to get one classic, let alone 2 is dam near impossible

I think the idea of him saying “Mom I’ll be back, ima take the car for 15 min” is to give people that didn’t grow up in an area like his a perspective of what a parent in poverty has to think about when there kid leaves the house for “15 minutes”.

I see "Because The Internet" at the background, i cant wait when you guys react to that album, it has a lot of amazing moment in it that made me shocked and i wanna see others people listening to it.

I absolutely love watching your dad's enthusiasm for what many people in his generation including my parents would consider "vulgar" or "corrupting" music. I just wish the lyrics were explored more deeply but i understand how that might be difficult as this brief overview is already 40 minutes long. I just think, as a person of color, there's so many realities and cultural aspects that Kendrick brings to light in a way that allows him to "own it" that many of us never found a way to express

Hands down one of my favorite albums from Kendrick after Section.80 (a classic). Y’all should react to that album as well. I’m happy that I got to see him perform many of his classics when his concerts were $30-$40! ✨

This album is able to create a uniquely vivid story that you can see in your head

Kevin mentioned that "Bitch, Don't Kill My Vibe" is one of the songs he'll be listening to in the future. I think it'd be fun to hear all the songs he's added to his personal playlist since being introduced to Hip-Hop and all these other Albums. Also, this is my favorite series on YT in a looooong time!

Sherane is the sound you hear throughout the album, and when you hear it, she is present. There is a weird, almost "underwater" sound in the beginning of the first track, and that's Sherane.

I always feel like kendrick hoped for this album to show the world the reality of what it means to be black and raised in the ghetto and how crime can be so easily brought in their life. It’s hard to blame them when you realise that they were once just a GOOD KID in a MAAD CITY. Each time I visit this album after a year or so I always understand it a little more!

Any hip hop album these guys cover is worth listening to until you appreciate it, even WLR. In following them you’ve put yourself on an excellent path of discovery. A few recommendations that are initially difficult listens would be JPEGMAFIA, Deathgrips, and Danny brown. All are at times very intense, especially in the case of Deathgrips and Danny, but all three are ridiculously good and expanded my (a self diagnosed hip hop head) mind on what music could be, and especially the extent of what hip hop could be.

When this album was first being rolled out, Kendrick had a pretty big up & coming buzz and the album was very anticipated. Swimming Pools was the first single/track we heard, so it had a lot of people nervous thinking he might have taken a super mainstream turn compared to his older stuff. Also, the song blew up and thats why it became a party anthem. Upon release of the album tho, everyone was surprised by the genius way the song plays in context.
