It's a well-known fact of life, and has been for a *very* long time now. Yet another reason why people need to stop treating their significant-others or friends as "improvement-projects." If they're not "good enough" as they are, they're not going to be. No external influence is going to change that. Until they come to the conclusion that what they're doing isn't working, they can't be helped. It's really that simple.

“You preached in front a hundred thousand, but never reached her” Still hits hard 6 years later

“I can feel your vibe, and recognize that you’re ashamed of me. Yes I hate you too.” That one gets me every time.

I write songs as a hobbie, and im always trying to be a better lyricist, and when i hear artists like kendrick im just speachless... how can someone be so transparent and intimate about their emotions and insecurities?, of their dark thoughts and burdens... how can you not be afraid of being that vulnerable?, like, i feel uncomfortable saying im sad and he just opens his soul and then he let us take a look. Add the music, the delivery, the placing in the album and the overall story. An Artist.

Hallelujah your still hanging in with us...me too, whew! Kendrick's Christ force brings out ours, Hell is no joke; calling it Earth was brilliant. The show the Good Place combined with my understanding of duality made me realize their is only Heaven and Hell, residing both in the same place. Ofcourse, one would truly have to be in Hell on Earth to know what Heaven in us could possibly feel and look like. Contrast, polarity is why their are two of us to make it possible to know that their is won. How blessed are we to KNOW that the world in US is far more real the one we perceive to be outside of us bc we were never in any immediate danger, but for us, the pain inside far exceeded the power of the 3d reality around us.

There's probably a good reason for that. It probably wouldn't be what you expected. So seeing it in a video would be disappointing. He wants it to feel actually real and genuine. If there was a random recording it takes away from the powerfulness and the message of it and it makes it not hit as hard because you know it's just a song. He wanted to feel like a real atmosphere that actually happened which is cool so it actually makes sense

He wrote this song so well that you’d understand exactly what he’s talking about after you listen enough

U is really an eye opener for many reasons: it really gives a reflection on your thoughts and emotions, and the sympathy you get towards Kendrick is helpless. Like, you can’t help yourself from wanting to help Kendrick, but he’s pretty much *helping* others by not helping himself. To get to that level of honesty and put yourself in that position of being recklessly emotional, not everyone can do that. It really hurts, but it heals at the same time.

Maybe that’s why he hasn’t come out with an album in so long. It’s emotionally draining to do it in his perspective…. Maybe he feels as if he has no other things he needs to talk about.

I used to violently and silently cry on my way to high school when this song came out. I was denying some issues I was having with myself and for the life of me I couldn't fully understand why this song touched me so much for how deep I was in denial. I related. And it was painful.

I recently listened to “U” it gave me goosebumps I felt the emotion and started to cry, but not tears buy like a baby just crying. I listened to the lyrics and made me tear up again. U is more than a song. Its a story with so much emotion that is hard to understand. It was tough man

The word “u” in itself, is a powerful euphemism for almost anything. Your struggle, situation, past, present, future…anything that conjure the human’s imagination. I believe that Kendrick know wholeheartedly about the word, and when he puts it into the music; it’s speak for itself. For me, personally, this whole song is a call to action. No matter who you are, where your from, what religion or ideology you believe in. It’s your responsibility to learn, to live and, to fight the evil. Whether it’s within you or the circumstance, it’s you who can uplift yourself to become better. And once you done that, then others will be inspired and be thankful.

U has to be one of his most soul crushing songs. Every time I re listen to TPAB I tend to avoid it because of just how heavy it is + hearing Kendrick self-deprication is depressing. I love how important the track is to the core message of the album tho

Been listening to TPAB since 2015 almost every month ever since it’s release and have connected to it ever since. Happy to finally see it get the acknowledgment on an artistic level it deserves.

Yea exactly , I went down the rabbit with this song , and I don’t regret it but I definitely don’t see a point in revisiting , it’s like revisiting the past , I embrace it and appreciate it but don’t see a point to always go back to it

I can only play TPAB. That's K Dot Magnum Opus. It make GKMC, DAMN and Section. 80 sound pop lol

You’re so good i cried literally, my love for Kendricks emotional release in music is unmatched

A rare instant subscribe. Amazing

imo the entirety of tpab encapsulates almost every aspect of mental health and hardship so well. i grew up with my fair share of trauma and struggle that consumed my life and myself but the first time I listened to tpab all the way through i genuinely felt so heard after feelings isolated in my emotions and was js left with a feeling of hope, peace and connection Id never met before. i was 13 and have used writing/lyricism and broadly art as a means to help manage myself and hopefully encourage others since. music and poetry saves lives and I genuinely believe that connection and understanding through sound and words is one of the most beautiful things to exist. beyond tpab, a lot of kendricks work has changed my perspective on life (as dramatic as that sounds haha) for the better and helped me realize a lot that had helped me manage depression, anxiety and bpd. I hope that I’m not alone in my experience and that the love and hope continues to spread to through music, far beyond kdots work. i seriously hope that those who have never surfaced to see and feel the light will do so, catalyzed by sound and lyricism and the beautiful will of themselves and these artists 💘

Sad this was in my recommended feed, as this song has been one of my go tos when I need to scream and cry at myself or anyone really… Rap really is so much more than some give it credit for, and Kendrick is a master of the form… if he never puts out another album, I’d be okay with that, he’s given so much already

Really well explained, I'm happy to know most people's analysis of the song are similar, this WHOLE ALBUM was truly heartbreaking for me, especially when the struggles really hit home, great job fr man

wow the way u were able to express everything was so deep. this video was so well done. very thought prevoking

This was such a beautiful video! Love the mixed media you pulled, the research, and of course the amazing song choice. ngl I teared up a bit, would love to see you make more song deconstruction videos like these!!!

Also he says "loving you is complicated" which spells out L.U.C.Y . The Y comes from the high note he uses at the end.

Glad this was recommended to me. U never made me cry, but it hit home. I was depressed and suicidal for years, and u helped me realize even famous artists like Kendrick Lamar can be, too.

Found this in my recommended just now, great video

Did such a good job on this video breaking it down thank u for a badass breakdown of the song

To Pimp a Butterfly is an absolute MASTERPIECE.

It makes me happy to see the next generation of hip hop fans appreciating real music...

Thank U for making this video. Been feeling worthless and seeing all these comments about how U changed peoples lives has really lifted me mentally. I just pray for anyone going through any painful moment to remember it’s only temporary and you can get out of it! Love light and positivity God bless! ❤️🖤🩸

just got this vid in my rec page! cheers brother great video!

The way I picture this song, it’s like the first part is him looking into a mirror, screaming all this venom at his own reflection until he runs out of energy. Once he’s broken and beaten, his reflection responds by kicking him when he’s down. This song is literally a bad trip in a song.

I’m glad someone understands how crazy this song is. Also you having the same thoughts after listening to it. Great video bro

Loved the analysis.. 💯

Man I love Kendrick and the way he weaves messages into his songs without losing the flow. His lyricism is next to u matched up there with weezy. This song is VERY hard to listen to in an amazing way. I think a lot of people can relate to extreme guilt, regret, and not liking who you see when you look in the mirror but feeling as if you’re unable to change or that you’re too far gone. I’ve hit rock bottom so many times but Kendrick got me through those hard times. His impact in the culture is insane.

You're on your path. I hardly meet people who listen to music and can speak with substance behind a song let alone an album. Thanks for the content.

dude your like 17 and youre already making such good content, keep it up bro
