This album for sure isn’t in Kendrick fans’ rotation no more
Can’t believe yall lowkey hated on Luther lol
How can they react to this album and don’t know Nas man at the garden and reincarnated it’s a 2PAC song wtf .. go do some history homework on music
Reactor saying this is not him or saying we didn’t expect this from him .. he has told us to have not expectations of he’s music because he can make any type of music to tell his stories so stop whit the BS
West coast album. If you dislike it, probably just not for you.
Terrell hating on Squabble Up & Luther out the gate damn lol then saying he liked GNX more than Mr. Morale is very telling 😆
29:40 “It’s not gonna be as big as all the stars” lol
Just caught that. It's kinda crazy how big Luther got 😭.
I don’t think the beef needs to be he preaches peace, but then promise war. But it’s just that, he keeps his stuff in his music not leading to gun violence
LUTHAR! "It's not gunna be as big as all the stars"...Kdot *hold my beer* 🤣😂🤣
I’m so frustrated about reactors saying “this ain’t him”. Ninja, he’s dammed if he do and damned if he don’t. Make up y’all’s mind yo. It’s like he can’t do anything right by the Drake fans. Freaking ridiculous 🤦🏽♀️ (referencing Peekaboo track)
Solid 3/10
Rage bait used to be believable
ouuu seeing Terrell reacting to the Severance bar made me catch it And its cus of him I even watch lol Full circle
They legit catch everything and yall here complaining about a biggie reference Jesus Christ 😭😭😭😭
Kendrick!! 🖤
Y’all missed a Biggie reference after the beat switch on TV Off. “Ain’t no other kings in this rap thing, they siblings Nothin' but my children—one shot, they disappearin'” From Biggie’s Kick in the Door track.
So trash… Drake is 100x the artist this guy is
I respect it honestly, hating for the love of the game 😂
HURRY UP TOMORROW YALL ALREADY KNOW. GIVE ME YOUR OPINIONS
Please add a pt-br subtitle, I bought the content, but I don't speak English, I like you guys a lot, hugs from Brazil!
I watched severance after this came out and just now put 2 and 2 together. Definitely a bar!!
Slime season 1 just released on DSP’s can yall please to a re listen to that tape 🙏🏽
That's the struggle between good and bad, on wacced out murals, you wanna off ppl, but when you have compassion and believe In God you kinda back off the things you say. Even though you mean it. Not for them but for God. I love this album....felt like hearing it today
Masterpiece for sure
This album is a classic I only skip 2 songs. But niggas gon find a way to hate this album. But every Kendrick album not named GKMC has recieved hate then niggas say it’s masterpiece later. This album is no different
Where did y’all go?? 😭😭
they owe us $3 for the month lmao
where did the bros go
plz do SLIME SEASON 1 2 FLASHBACKS for it being released on DSPS
Peekaboo is definitely going to be on the next 2k soundtrack. I can already hear it in the loading screen.
This aged well so far. Between being used in the Gatorade commercial and is gonna be used for the NBA finals.
Been a month twins
like idk this ain’t the kdot i remember
But Mr Morale IS the Kendrick we remember
I listened to the album and man these past 2 albums been mad dissapointing
New Cole to review??
Don’t see them doing it considering how mad they were bout port Antonio 😂😂😂
I give this an 8/10 as well on first listen, might go down to a 7.5/10 down the road as it ages. I’m from LA and a lot of the flows hit at home but when stacked against some of his other work it doesn’t stand up. DAMN is my favorite Kdot album and TPAB and GKMC are neck and neck for 2nd place so I immediately can’t say this is a top 3 Kdot album. Still enjoyable and it’s still on replay, would definitely say I prefer it over Mr Morale and it’s right next to Section 80.
lowkey miss the edited videos.
Wacced out murals is for critiques like Rel. Too many back handed compliments came from him, and I was truly surprised. He became the hypocrisy/contradiction police when it came to Kendrick, clearly chose a side but tried to call it “unbiased”. I wish he was just more honest about that. No hate at all, I genuinely fuck with the boys so please don’t take this personal. Just an observation.
Peekaboo needs DRAKEO
Are we getting that Reaction to the new Cole tracks?
u guys are my 1st purchase on this app!!! keep doing the lord work!!!
same lol
Yall gotta know that was a pac beat cmon lol made niggazzzz
Doechii tiny desk reaction 💪🏾💯
Aye react to sahbabi - Saheem PLEASE
Terrell saying on twitter "Telling a black person they cant say the N word because they are half white is colorism " makes no sense to me.. how can you not understand.. Kendrick is not saying drake shouldn't say nigga because hes half white. In meet the grahams kendrick literally said to adonis "YOU ARE A BLACK MAN, EVEN IF DONT BENEFIT YOUR GOALS". It's not about his color, it' about his whole demeanor
Terrell been doing damage control for Drake I swear
Damn this niggas voice fucking sucks idk how ya like this man 🤣
your screen name has kdot in it and you’re on a patreon channel you pay for commenting on his voice…you’re a fan, clown 😂😂
He spit crazy on That intro track that shit was fucking fire
THAT SEVERANCE BAR WENT FOOOOOL
Been bumping Kendrick since Tammy’s Song
We byke
First person in reincarnated is John Lee hooker
He died in 2001. It seems like it’s a combination of different musicians. Considering he’s talking about the devil playing a role in the rise and downfall of these musicians, it would make sense he wouldn’t want to pin that to specific people.
KDot did it with this one. I love how it felt like a mixtape at times and a studio album as well. I know Terrance gonna be spinnin this joint all the time lol. #Realest9
Honestly, critique on the first listen is risky. I leave my judgements for the second or third listen
Yea there’s always a couple songs that initially I may not like for example reincarnated I wasn’t vibing with at first but after a couple more listens it’s one of my favorite songs
50:40 lol confused between plyometric and pyrotechnic
Heart pt.6 was beautifully constructed, perfect use of the swv sample and Dot blacked out, was so needed
Azchike being on the album made my year. Yall need to bump Ouhhh, Drunk and Big Chop by him💀
I'm new to your Patreon, I'm in the DMV area also. It took me 2 listens before I liked some of the other tracks I didn't initially like. After the first listen, I didn't care for Hey Now, Peekaboo, Dodger Blue and GNX. Then I listened again with headphones, watched/read some different perspectives then on the 2nd listen the only track I still don't care for is number 11, GNX. So 11/12 of the songs I rock with💃🏾🤗
Gloria isn't about Whitney or any woman, it's about "his pen/writing."
The title track, GNX is the only song I don't like. HittaJ3 is Kendrick's cousin. For me the only "skip" is that song, 11/12 love the rest of it!
In Reincarnated the first verse is about, John Lee Hooker, the Mississippi-born blues singer and guitarist who made himself a larger-than-life fixture in American music between the 40s and 60s. In the song’s second verse, Kendrick goes into the story of an angelic-voiced female star of the Chitlin Circuit era — likely Billie Holiday or Dinah Washington.
In "Gloria" he reminds us that he had writer's block for 2 years, which he mentions in Mr. Morale and the Bigg Steppers.
I knew it was going to be a good video when the review for the very first song was over 20 minutes
You're a victim to mediocrity. Heal.
15:58 He’s a Gemini😝 Duality has always been his thing, it’s an inner battle we learned this with DAMN.
💯 Also when you fight for what you believe in it’s not necessarily immoral
React to sahbabbi’s new album. It’s the modern day so much fun.
yall. i hadn't heard sing about me in half a decade (AT LEAST) and it made me tear up forreal
Can you guys react to Doja Cat’s Scarlet Album?
Album of the year
Relax.
Good work 💪🏽
Terrell was locked in for this review. Good stuff my boy
Yall def gotta listen to doechii album
Great video. This and Tyler are the first time I’ve paid for your guy patreon. Happy to support. Also Kendrick used to do funny unserious songs like peekaboo way back when. See his Mrs Officer joint lol
Another overrated album. 50% getting skipped. Especially those Chinese knock off versions of NLU. Embarrassing.
What was the other overrated album
Can you guys react to Doja Cat’s Scarlet Album?
Beautiful description of man st the garden. Getting his own Flowers. Fire.
SZA sounded sexy af in Luther
Squabble up is funky, i love it an im from the Midwest
That intro was fire, guys
What songs do drake an cole have thats in the style of reincarnated thats as good or BETTER
Man this album is a hip hop 90s radio station, each joint has a theme
John Lee Hooker 1947 Michigan left home at 14yrs old! R&B guitarist! Album 🔥 10 out 12
Man of the Garden and Nas One Mic
reincarnated is literally about HIS past lives, he did past life regression which is hypnosis and you go through step by step of each past life, to see what lesson this current life is teaching you and what you missed in your past life. he may have the name of his past self as well, you’re normally asked what your name is in that life, but he might’ve left that out on purpose to leave it up to artistic interpretation. there may be actual celebs that have this story but again it’s about HIS past lives.
You guys need to clip the entire end of the gloria reaction and discussion and put it up on tiktok, its amazing
Terrance asking "Is this Mustard?" after Kenny yells MUSTARD had me dying lmfao
Doechii album plssss
Doechi album next. Please
As a huge Kendrick fan since like 2009 and being from the west coast . This album is what I WANTED . We got all the introspective and deep albums from him . I wanted a fun west coast album . This album is getting better and better for me
Pls comeback and tell us what songs yall still spin after a week
This is a good idea for the fans that trust their taste like me 😭
Promise That You Will Sing About Me
That "heartbeat" editing is toughhh
Reincarnated is Made Niggaz by PAC & Man in the Garden is Nas-One mic
The confusion when GNX came on lol
Is Gloria (Kendrick’s Pen) the one singing throughout the album in Spanish also?
Nah, the artist singing is Deyra Barrera.
the bros could hear Kendrick fart for a hour and somehow it’ll be fire for them …
Found the OVhOe Drake gobbler😂😂😂🫵🫵
Reincarnated is the story of Lucifer. He says it at the end!
Heart pt 6 sampled from swv
Reincarnated is also pac beat called made niggas
That man at the garden is nas one mic beat
Zzz...
Can you guys do a more in depth video of Reincarnated, and give us a full analysis. I feel like no one would do it better than you guys
Terrell wearing the same durag material type sweater that Terrance was on the last pod & he was roasting him for it lmaoo
Peek a boo I just put boogers in my chain lmaooo this Kendrick Lamar.
I will rate this album 8 1/2 stars out of ten =classic
Man at the garden gives me that old Big Krit feel
That intro Zoommmmmm woo
paid that $3 real quick 😂😂
This is DAMN part 2 to me
Why is this? I feel like DAMN had a whole different sound pallet as well as message/direction so I’m intrigued
Sahbabii AOTY
belt to azzzzzzzzz
Just realized Roddy was on the hook of Dodger blue
Gloria and Reincarnated are 10s
Terrell act like this then get on twitter rage baiting 😂😂
Great album, I didn't like GNX and peekaboo at first but they grew on me the more i listened to it.
MUSTAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRDD
This album is phenomenal man. Like ima sit wit it a little longer but I got it above some albums most wouldn’t expect
You didn’t hear him just scream MUSTARD
Sonically, it's one of my favorites.
🔥🔥🔥
“Damn Whitney a real one she done caught a body before” 😂😂😂😂
1:21:27 the way Terrance manages to fuck up the family matters cadence is hilarious
This mixtape is for sure a WestCoast groove. If you are from Los Angeles specifically, this is Summer Sunday night lowriders cruising The Shaw sound. It’s for sure something funky to hold us until SuperBowl Sunday. The actual album I believe will drop on that day or the day after.
Some of the tracks I can only listen once in a while but overall, 8/10. Not a Dot classic, but he still cooked hard on this
I think this project more for the West Coast niggas. It’s good for what it is but I do think people hyping it
Why Terrell look like "your such a fucking hoe, I love it"
If u don’t like west coast sound you want appreciate this album he didn’t miss with this tape think a deluxe with 5/7 more songs is coming or a whole new album January before Super Bowl
Im from the Midwest an i love tye west sound. Kendrick reppin
Terrell absolutely bugging for the squabble up take
In reincarnated he’s talking about Chuck Berry and Billie Holiday
Another overrated dot album. Two in a row now
Lucifer was known as one of heavens best musicians and I love how he related Lucifer’s story to himself. Saying he’s rewriting Lucifer’s story as instead of continuing to live in gluttony and using music as a way to destroy the righteousness of people he turns his life back to God. Unlike Lucifer. Saying he’s reincarnated but also transforming for the better to get life right one last time.
I can’t believe so many people dislike GNX. I love it!! Ig those that get it, get it.
Or could just not be that good just a thought
Album some mid
Your mom was mid but your dad still boned her
Dot the 🐐
Terrell, please give us a documentary on this.
I love the deep cuts
anyone got an ID terrell’s crew? nice boxy cropped fit
What is FBA language??
“foundational black american”
NY ATL AND TX sounds people vibe with way more than that west coast sound. People are trying so hard to act like this album was fire. I listen to this 3 times back to back and I could not vibe to at all. This is coming from someone that said from the jump that Drake don’t want to fuck with kdot. But let’s not act like this album the one 6/10 for me
Just because you couldn’t vibe to it doesn’t mean the album wasn’t fire. Move around, your opinion doesn’t matter to anyone else but you
The Kobe tshirt is hard
Man from first listen to like my 10th listen now, i wholeheartedly felt this is one of his best, way better than DAMN. sonically for me. But MM is defo better, none of his albums got me sobbing like that one 😭
Better than DAMN? Cmon
This album is phenomenal to me. It just proves Kendrick’s range. I mess with the west coast sound heavy since the pop-out show. It put me on to a lot of LA artists so I love these records. 9/10 no skips
SOLID ALBUM PERIOD!
Terrell is a j cole love meat rider
Ehh, don’t really care about Terrell’s opinion on this one. If you don’t like west coast music, you gotta just sit this one out and shut up lol.
Agreed lmao
Terrance you gotta understand the west coast SOUND is regional bro. It’s impressive to the people who are from out here. People in ATL all talk about the same stuff, just like people in Texas all rap about the same stuff. Regional rap is about exploring/exploiting what the region is about. In the WEST it’s about the hood you from.
None of that really addresses his comment about it all sounding the same…
Album is so ass bruh 2/10 maybe
i love how they’re letting more of the song play in the reactions
Terrell fronting with this “I’m not a west coast guy” bs. Brody just likes to the same trap beat bs that rap’s flooded with currently. If you from the West Coast then you supposed to sound like you from there. If you from NY then sound like where you from and not pretend to sound like something that isn’t authentic to where you from. I don’t rate plagiarism and people pretending to be something they not. Need more authenticity in the rap game and less copycat, mumbling, ain’t rapping about nothing bs
Tyler the creator is from LA. his music doesn’t sound anything like this. Real artists can’t be put in a box. Kendrick is a rapper, Tyler is an artist.
Kendrick just having fun 😂
Mannnnnn this man. Like how do you even compare to someone like this he just built different and he knows it. Broo this production is disgustingly fireeee 😖. Once again it’s just proving why that nigga he battled didn’t even deserve to battle him artistically he just different his whole personality with him being a Gemini them two personality be showing 😂 . Sorry Terrell & Terrance what yall said about him being conflicted he just a Gemini 😂 so sometimes he gonna chill or be out for blood it’s just him.
On second listen I might be putting GNX above DAMN.
Chill bruh it just came out. I respect your opinion but that’s wild 😂😭
Terrell said “Kendrick don’t do this” but you have to realize he’s trying to show yall HE CAN DEFINITELY DO it and do it BETTER
I love love this album. He’s shown so much range on this album
Loved it... gave mixtape, UNTITLED UNMASTERED vibes with a fun WEST COAST twist.
2024 Was the Year of Hip Hop Fight Me
It’s up there with 1999, 2004 imo
10:54 is a quadruple entendre
That severance bar is crazy 🔥 Severance is great series too
The lack of west coast in the bros showed on squabble up. Lol Terrell got a little more in him then Terrance do fasho.. Understandable though
his don killuminati. amazing. also i don‘t get how most people don‘t line the title track i can‘t stop replaying it 😭 hitta n em killeddddd it
Album is a solid 9/10. Only song that could of been left off was GNX ironically
“Sing about me”is still my favorite Kendrick song, I know he made some other great music. It’s just the story telling and production is nostalgic 🔥
Hit the button and wait for the van door to slide open in slo-mo 🤣🤣🤣
The twin moment here gave me like lol 46:55-59
Realest 9!! Loved the album. Hopping on a plane now to vibe out
If anyone knows common, he has a song called I used to love her. I love gloria because kendrick uses a similar style in talking about his pen (although common was referencing hip hop) as if it is his woman.
Yes! And Ye did it before Common, when he revealed “Wendy” was Chicago on Homecoming
Reincarnated was dog shit and for all you cats that said Taylor made freestyle was corny lmao on god if you like this song you really really kill me dawg lmao
Big mad for no reason lol relax
also terrance, please tell me where you got that dark brown long sleeve sweater. It’s 🔥🔥
Shoutout all the Realest 9 🙏🏻 Been with y’all boys since 2017. Much love from Saudi Arabia 🙌🏻
Terrell face during GNX lmaoo
That severance bar is insane y’all NEED to watch that show if you haven’t already
Dot the 👑 no need to add anything else.
Aye terrell funny ashit, mans said he feel like he gettin played on dat peekabo track😂
Gloria is an amazing song frfr
Great break down of Man at the Garden! The build up of the beat at the end of the track reminds me of Auntie Diaries
Exactly
Man sing about me just soothes everything in my soul, personal top 5 song of all time
Let's be real WDTY is better
This will be my fav Kendrick album
First listen this was amazing, it's just keeps getting better each listen! Also you I don't understand why Terrance thinks Kendrick doesn't do fun like is he supposed to be conscious and introspective 24/7, every song, every album?
i think we all just used to getting concept albums at this point
Went to the usc ucla game tonight at the rose bowl and they played squabble up, hey now, and gnx. All sound crazy in a stadium
also i def think this is more of a mixtape before "the album" and I got many reasons for that
Crazy Jcole drops a day after Kendrick
Masterpiece
This album is like a mixtape this shit fire I feel like there’s more coming 👀
Kendrick the only one that can’t have fun I swear 🤣🤦🏾♂️
Really enjoyed this
Kendrick told yall, mfs don’t like the west coast and that he was pushing this west coast sound and if you didn’t like it he’s fine with it. Hearing Chike Peysoh Dody6 Lefty and the rest of the West on this album brought a big smile to my face. Big W.
Yo it’s Isaiah from Trader Joe’s lol. wanted to say it was great to meet you Terrance you’re an inspiration fr. thank yall for keeping up the great content and being yourselves 🤞🏾
IM BACKKKKKKKKKKK PROMISE THAT YOU WILL SING ABOUT ME
He was talking about Elvis Whitney and himself through Lucifer’s perspective
Elvis???
i've played this album everyday since it's dropped. 1000/10. Kendrick is the GOAT and always will be. Love yall Mallory Bros.
Hasn't it just been 2 days??
Dot got these Niggas standing up again? This just might be the good life.
Gloria is amazing
ORCHESTRATË IS BETTER THAN THIS WHOLE ALBUM
Bruh, wat dis shit?🤣🤣🤣🤣
am i the only one that thought he was dissin shannon or nah?
For me after 10 listens its a MISS,i listened this yesterday at work for like 3-4 times in a row and i thought damn this is a no skip album maybe....perfectly balanced because of the amazing strong intro that lets you tolerate more the next 2 tracks (02 is mid modernwestcoast ,03 is nice r&b) and the man in the garden its smooth and ok nice because of how it ends..the reincarnated is verry nice amd nostalgic but i must say that the lil wayne version (im a ridah) is more beautifully for me..not impressed by Kendrick take but give him props for trying to reincarnate 2pac,but after more listens at this point after this it’s all downfall for me…same exhausted west coast mustard beat wich i already didn’t like with ‘not like us ‘ and bow i have to listen to more of thisss? With that weird trash beat change where he yelling’mustard’ are you really fuck with this?? For me its a No…,then you have peekaboo wich is kind of ok in the same league with squable up but more dark abd for this a appreciate it more but not something to turn back at specifically,the heart part 6 was alright ok but again not impressed not something to come back ,and thank god gnx was different and i liked it because inwas tired and bored somehow so ok atleast he switched up,gloria is beautiful but not something to come back at next month…so at the end of the day whe have the amazing first track!! Amazing! And reincarnated… Now before everyone trows a grammy at Kendrick for this think! Just think at all the sings drake has put out (cdq or not,colaboration or feature) and you cand make a solid 12 traks project with all around sounds… Conclusion…nice album for the month with 2 memorable tracks..better for me personally then chromakopia but for me this month freddie gibs had the best album..actually best album of the second half year i might say….
Squabble up is a LA dance - sincerely a LA girl
Thanks for the birthday gift 🔥9️⃣
Still waiting for that AOT homie, I’m not giving up on you
I really liked the album, all the west coast beats on here went crazy. I love heart pt 6 and gloria, those are both such beautiful songs. There's several on here that I'm gonna keep returning to.
A lot of u niggas in the comments are miserable lmfao
Came here just to hate lol
only songs I really like were tv off and luther - granted im a smooth brain drake fan
At least you admit it
The beat is the group "Whodini" Friends 🤔
In the beginning of Reincarnated he said he did his past life regression. I think he's just talking about his past lives not necessarily specific celebrities
!!
I gave it a 9 I liked every song except 1. I respect their opinions because they’re giving actual criticism not just saying it’s trash because
Tv off just a NLU remix, he's also go an inability to create a hook throughout the whole album
Squabble up is ass man it’s okay to admit lol
Nah your wrong
whole last song is a double entendre
For sure! Like i think he’s still talking abt his girl too.
They down played Luther so much
he said the party just died yall cackling at diddy but all of yall on trial
MUSTARDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD🤣🤣🤣 it’s stuck in my head, I liked the album, I was dancing lol it was fun & the features were fire, I can’t wait to see the west coast ppl do they lil dances 10/10 for me
I’m sorry but that Wayne shit wasn’t deep or dense at all
Exactly..i took it like ‘maybe if wayne should have worked harder recently maybe they have had picked him…instead of being disappointed work harder
MUSTARRRRRRDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
We getting another album for sure
"Introduce em to that fire" if you look at a seraphim and you aren't protected by God you catch on fire 🔥 Luther is one of my favorites
I’m sorry I gotta shamelessly ask what’s the song in the beginning?
sing about me/dying of thirst
THIS IS HIS SCARY HOURS
thank you boys
NEW ALBUM ON THE WAY
KENDRICK IS NOT DONE 🔥🔥🔥
RE: REINCARNATED: My interpretation is that in the last verse, "Kendrick" understands why his Father has kicked him out (in this life, but also call back to the past lives, but also setting up the bigger scene: God kicking Lucifer out of Heaven). He "Kendrick"/aka this incarnation now understands and "forgives" IE grows from the pride. The back and forth is really between Lucifer and God, but also works on the Kendrick level. God explains to Lucifer that he kicked him out due to his anxiety and disobedience ("You didn't like authority, only searched to be heinous"), but acknowledges that Lucifer was God's best director "You were my best director... it was colors, reds... blues..." (the Bible references Lucifer as the angel of music). God tells Lucifer he sent him to earth for "rehabilitation" but he's just been poisoning others- "but here we are now, for centuries you manipulated man with music" Lucifer has been using his talent for evil, in each of his manifestations (lives as talented Black musicians in Verse 1, 2, 3). Lucifer - a confused son, has reincarnated through these different lives, exploiting his gift, living selfishly and without discipline. So this is where we understand the story is truly about the fallen angel Lucifer, and his manifestations throughout time. And Lucifer, seeking his Father's love and approval, has only ever wanted to be accepted. But in this lifetime, Kendrick has broken the curse. The verse ends with Kendrick/Lucifer maturing. And it's a similar ending to Mother I Sober, in that Kendrick now vows to use his powers for good. By 'rewriting' this story, and learning the lesson in this incarnation, Kendrick broke Lucifer's generational curse (as he mentioned in the last album), he weakens "evil"; he's now channeling his talent (even in destruction) for salvation. But he's going so deep to acknowledge that the devil is within himself. It's not out there in the world, as we are all taught as kids. And it isn't his denial of this, it's his acceptance and embrace of his nature that earns his place back in Heaven. It's really bone-chilling.
We appreciate you
Yal intro was 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Terrell we still waiting for AOT😑😂. But I enjoyed the album. Definitely has a lot of replay value for me
Terrell is struggling to have fun with Kenny 🤣
"You gotta do the first marry first" lmao
West coast bouta eat this album up 🔥🔥
Introspective masterpiece
"bing bop boom boom boom bop bam" lol
Man at the garden paid homage to NAS one mic track if you listen closely it the same cadence & snippets of some of the beat 🔥🔥🔥 especially since NAS was the only one to congratulate him for the Super Bowl a lot of the beats on GNX are throwbacks
It’s giving he didn’t want to let the party die but he wanted to host the party
My guess is he drops another album anywhere from may-june
1.) Good Kid Maad City 2.) To Pimp A Butterfly 3.) GNX 4.) DAMN 5.) Mr. Morale and The Big Steppers 6.) Section 80
You are on crack
I think something that's funny to me is that kendrick and drake both walked away from all this beef shit this year and feel like the world is against them.
Kinda feels like Kendrick wants to continue playing victim, ain't nobody against him. Not only is the industry backing him but all pop culture is
@51:22 yall know hbcu gonna be UPPPPPPPPPPPPPP wit that hoe
The Mallory Bros don't know Made Niggaz..... damn
Or that lil wayne had a version of it on dedication 4
MUSTARRRRRRRRRRRD
This is also the first time that "the heart" has ever been on an album interesting....wonder if heart 7 will introduce a new album after the superbowl?
It was on mr morale a week after release tbf but i feel U
“We haven’t got a heart part 6 before?”.. “yea we got it from DRAKE” right into the beat drop was hilarious 🤣
I’m from Chicago and love all of the West Coast songs…would easily take a full album of them 🤷🏽♀️
i always look forward to your content but this i was REALLY excited for!
From the West Coast this is phenomenal 10/10
I feel like this he’s dropping an album after the Super Bowl. This album I think he just want to make bangers this album was not has a couple conscious songs he just wanted to rap and make songs to make people dance and hype up to
Actually could be
Where the hell you get that brown crewneck from? I need the link asap
from the west coast, we loving this shit man. the tupac sample on reincarnated and cadence and flow man… true homage to tupac! also man at the garden beautiful track and great catches by Terrell! anyways whole 9 we back! love this shit🤞🏽
As a west coast native, I it's an easy 12/12 for me. This too hard! but I can see how those not from the west need time to let the sound grow on them.
Shoulda pulled up the subs not the headphones lol
“Squabble” is a term we use in LA. Just like “fade” when talking about fighting. This album is for the coast. This album just proved dot point in euphoria.. mfs don’t like the westcoast
squabble is crazy lmaooo sounds like some looney tunes shit
Had to come support once again! Pre watch can’t wait for the breakdown! 🐐
🔥🔥🔥
TV off flow sounds like a Christian rapper named Miles Minnick
The 3rd verse on Reincarnated is the first time I heard a rapper speak from the perspective of God talking to him as-if he is Satan … but Kendrick made a promise with God to use his gifts for understanding and to rewrite Satans narrative that was written in the Bible. (THIS IS ONE OF THEM ONES 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥)
I’m baccccccccck
cmon Luther is better than All the Stars I'm sorry
I wouldnt go that far but its a great record for sure
Man, so much "someone will appreciate this" and "I'm not mad at it" this review. Really hard to believe this shit didn't hit for y'all like it did for everybody else. It's his first fully "fun" project, and its gonna hit hard at the Super Bowl
Some fans are just too accustomed to conscious kendrick and write off tracks where he is just flexing & having fun
New patreon member not new to Mallory Bros though happy to hear this yay yay
I won't be jamming this in the car but was worth the initial listen for sure. I'm glad he dropped for people that was waiting on something to happen
Terrell is such a party pooper 😭 everything doesn’t have to be so deep and serious bro
if he made another "serious" album, people would be over it. this is an untitled, unmastered type experience where its a collage of diff types of Kendrick. idk how they not dancing the whole album!
11/12
I'm sorry Terrell, that is not a double entendre 😅
“Fuck a double entendre, I want you to feel/fill this shit” is a double entendre
Man at the garden, dodger blue, & heart pt 6 🤝🏾
12/12
Yall never heard made nxggxs by PAC?!??
59:48 right at this moment you sound like somebody unc terrell lol but great review as always fellas
Luther clears all the stars in every which way
kendrick and future have a tendency where their music gets better and better with more listens. I appreciate the songs like dodger blue and peekaboo wayy more than first listen. this album a fucking vibe ina whip. it takes a real artist to have 5 different albums that dont sound alike at all. being from the westcoast also a bonus cause we hear this type of music everywhere
omg yes, in the first listen, i didn't know if i liked dodger blue, but now the more i listen, the more i love it!!
1:10:40 I could see that being a cold ass movie scene that was crazy 💀
and it's crazy cus niggas on twitter pretending terrell some sort of kendrick hater 😭😭
He not a hater at all but he just seems to be a lil more negative these days about a lot of artists. I think thats just how it is when you’re getting older too. If this project dropped in 2017 when they was like 20-21 yrs old then they wouldve been even more hyped on it imo
What a year for hip hop
36:45 "we have one"
“Freak bitch, I like my Mac touching Yams” is a crazy bar🔥🔥🤣
(my opinion) DAMN is still his best album but this album was better than Mr. Morale for sure. I wish this one would’ve had interludes that told more of a story just like GKMC did.
Fuckin with the new track display with the vinyl. Please keep this for future vids.
People fuck with Luther a lot
Shit fire, mans dropped some heat this will be talked about in the future
Kendrick don’t know how to miss BUT not his best work. But still brilliant man. This reaction actually made me appreciate the West joints more idk why
This is his first project under pgLAng right?
yes!!
It was weird hearing Kendrick like this but I like it. I love when artists attempt to do something different even if I like it or not. But i give it a solid 8. Shoutout Evil Kenny.
The breakdown after the realization of “Gloria” was ME. LoL — Also, the public reaction to the project is funny to me because the narrative is ‘Kendrick doesn’t make bops or fun songs’ and then he gives a project full of club songs (which are a higher quality than MOST) and the narrative is ‘We need more introspective, double-entendres records.’ and it’s being compared to GKMC and TPAB. 😂
I’m from LA and I still feel awkward listening to Dot on the traditional mustard inspired LA beat. Peakaboo was hard though, that’s Chike’s bag so it made a lot of sense. The album didn’t flow well to me, sequencing wise but that joint with the SWV sample, man in the Garden and Gloria are my favorites.
Fr. Loved that for chike
This album 🔥🔥 Kendrick thought process is so far fetched, til you can’t really judge a track on first listen!!
Next time you in gburg i got you wit a cut check out my ig @ezs_chopshop
Kdot drop cool but Ima need them COLE mixtape reactions !
Top 3 Kendrick album to me
Terrell lookin like a hipster pastor
This fasho his “might delete later” type project and he most definitely got another album in the tuck He dropped not like us and we got the broccoli snippet and he dropped a snippet before the album that’s not even on the album cmon y’all 🤷🏽♂️
This is 10x the quality of might delete later. I like might delete later too but it aint at thus level. And i think there prolly is something else. On that teaser vid theres 2 cars there too.
This is just the prerequisite since we have never had The Heart series before the album. The album is coming soon watch. This just for all the people that supported him at the pop out.
Possible but dont hold your breath. Sounds eerily similar to ppl saying the same thing when DAMN dropped and no second album ever came.
Squabble Up second verse is craaaazy🔥🔥
I think reincarnated is about satan
It is
Intro is sketchy af…🔥🔥
Terrell I gotta know where the crewneck & beanie are from!?🔥
Love the reaction 🙌🏽 The album is pretty good a smooth 8/10 as of rn for me i liked all the tracks he definitely took his home town an made it the whole theme on this album and sprinkled the story teller kendrick introspective kdot on there on a few tracks, an u can tell he had a lot of fun with this album, definitely different from the other albums he put out, it’s very hard to not measure this album with his others bc it’s kendrick but im not going to an jus enjoy the music for what it is, this album is forsure less introspective then all this other projects he got but honestly i didn’t think he rlly needed to be that way bc we already know how much of a talent he is, but ya definitely a fun project 9️⃣ also fav songs r Gloria, heart pt.6 an reincarnated also i love man at the garden🙌🏽9️⃣
Terrance kills the Patreon shoutout every time! Swear he says it the exact same way every time 😂
Square on his back…Jack Dorsey= Back Door
Pretty sure he’s referencing Al Green with the 1947 someone fact check me tho
Bro you fact check it lol
Kendrick got no bars, these dudes broke down maybe 2 bars the whole album. Those bars were reaches too 😂
it’s not that type of project. he literally said “fuck a double entendre, i want em to feel this”
Heart pt 6🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
had to grab some flan for this one
🗣️MUSTARRRRRDDDDDDD🗣️🔥🔥🔥
def his worst album everybody hates drake rn so everybody gassing it i get it
Lmao its a rly good project. Even if its worst, his worst album before this is an 8/10. So thats not rly hating on it. Some kendrick fans just want conscious storyteller kendrick like terrell said
Luther is actually better than y'all think
MUUSTAAAAAAAAARD
The people who hate are literally annoying ass Drake Stan’s. I’m not the biggest Kendrick fan but this album just had everything I like to hear.
Some are drake stans, some are kendrick fans who only want him to be conscious/storytelling based. They bitched about DAMN for this too
MUSTARRRRRRRRD!!! wonderful album, as always 🔥🔥🔥
This album/mixtape is definitely dedicated to the west coast as a victory lap. He came with the hits but also some very introspective tracks like “man at the garden”, “reincarnated” and “gloria”. I feel like all Kendrick fans are getting tracks they enjoy with this project.
You think he’ll release his “actual” album after the Super Bowl! I was kind of thinking the same thing that you wrote. This was for the west coast/mixtape
PHENOMENAL. Album of the year!
Loved this reaction. Luther and Dodger Blue are my favorites, but I love the whole album sonically.
Wacced out 🔥 Squabble up is cool Luther is cool Man at the Garden was moving 🔥 Hey now was a miss for me fw the 2nd half though and the feat Reincarnated was 🔥 basically the heart part 5 part 2 TV off was cool for me but I get the appeal Dodger blue skip Peekaboo skip 💙 pt 6 was cool GNX was cool but on a straight through listen im skipping it Gloria 🔥
Dodger Blue is about gangs. The moves he was describing is the C-walk
That FBA spirit in the building 💪🏾
I think you gotta be from LA to appreciate squabble up lol this song is perfect to me
Terrence gets it🫡
Kendrick my favorite rapper and if this a fun West Coast rollout mixtape type thing, it's damn near flawless and is like a 9. If it's THE album album, it's like a high 7, low 8
I dont rly get how that would change the score of the album. Regardless of what it is in that context, the music remains the same. It’s either that good or its not
You can tell how hurt they are that their daddy Drake lost that battle and how he’s continuing to get stomped on, on this album. They’re hating on tracks that are objectively good. If this album came up before the beef they would be eating it up calling it a master class. They need to get out of their feelings for Drake.
I dont hear that at all. Especially not from terrance. They loved the intro which is the most aggressive he was regarding the beef. So your point kinda loses steam with that alone
Good music fr
Worst album since Section.80 or Overly Dedicated. Seemed very unpolished for Kendrick's standards. It's sad to see an artist regress from the amazing music they've put out in the past.
Its a teaser album..this isn't the main one
This is a great album. Been wanting Kendrick to do a fun west coast album after Not Like Us, and he did just that, and more. Squabble Up, hey now, and tv off are fire tracks. Reincarnated is amazing as well. SZA tracks are on point too. There are some songs for me that are not as good as the others unfortunately, like man at the garden, dodger blue, and gnx, so it’s not a perfect score. But the highs are very high
How tf do you hate on man at the garden 💀 that might be a top 10-15 kendrick track of all time
“✋🏾Hey hey hey hey hey hey hey…” 😂🤣Peekaboo might be my favorite song
Peekaboo goes crazy in the whip lmaoo
Man that hey hey hey just how we be in LA 😂
Reincarnated is a pac song he sampled called made niggaz w the outlaws
I honestly think this is just the beginning of the rollout for the big album, it give west coast mixtape vibes…
*muscle up..Plyometrics
Dope vid, react to sahbabii next. AOTY🔥
Nah the snippet was giving phantom but turned out to be a Chrysler 300
Naa that shit was still fire
This is a teaser album... ppl from Kendricks camp are saying that this isn't the MAIN one. The 1 min video snippet isn't on this project.
Who said that from his camp?
🥱
This is DAMN NEAR PERFECT!!! 🔥🔥
Nxggas saying “Luther” in the same neighborhood as “All The Stars” lol. Bruh fanned out to the max. It’s nowhere near that record. Pales in comparison.
Terrell lookin like cousin ray ray from haunted house🤣
It’s a cool album. If you like the west coast sound you will mess with it. It’s cool
I think the second verse in reincarnated could have been Whitney houston. Did she have an alleged woman lover. And that's why the father saw what he viewed as sin 🤔
Have any idea of who he is on the 1st verse?
wait why it blacked out after the peakaboo breakdown?
7/10
oi but a severance package is what you get when you get let go from a job 15:40
wait but the description says that it’s been met with mixed reviews 🤔 so soon? I’ve seen a lot of love, maybe that’s just me
Masterpiece for me! 🔥 I loved every track except Gloria(it’s still growing on me)…I think it was a perfect album to put a cap on everything, not too serious and just enough lightheartedness…I loved it
In reincarnated he is talking about Lucifer’s story and his fall from heaven. Just to sum it up
But Lucifer made music in heaven, so it’s funny how the devil uses music on earth.
I’m just starting the video, when PND and Drake put out you gotta give the same energy. Don’t do that now
36:46 “nigga what you look like” vibes here😂
Love that show Severance and mad I missed that bar. Respect!
WE LIVE!!!
Currently in the Walmart parking lot bout to drive home to this 🤣🔥🔥🔥
Reincarnated beat is 2pac Made Niggaz beat
Luther finna be on so many “Couple Timelines” lol
THIS STANDING ON IT ENOUGH FOR YOU TERRELL?! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥😂
had to rejoin the patreon so quick
Same😂😂😂
Very weak lyrical album other than the intro. Felt like he wanted to create Not Like Us over and over. 7/10
He’s not trying to recreate not like us, it’s just how the west coast music sounds. It’s like pop smoke with his drill sound which is from New York.
This the only Kendrick album I don’t consider a masterpiece
Terrence was going in on cole for "100 million and I'm still on my grind" yet the squabble up joint he 🤐🤐
Squabble up is literally ao much better than 100 mil lmao. Theres no similarities on there. 100 mil was a messy autotune melodic cut and squabble up got some hard ass verses with a way better beat even if you dont fw the hook
the intro go crazy
Let’s goooooo
LES GOOOO 9️⃣9️⃣9️⃣
Can’t believe how hard they undersold Luther that song is flawless genuinely a perfect record idk what else they could’ve wanted from a song like that
It’s because it’s first listen I think. Kendrick has everybody hanging on every word right now so the first listen is just full of anticipation of what’s next but after we’ve heard it and can digest it on its own as music then I think people can appreciate these songs differently.
Thank yall fellas for making this over an hour! 🔥🔥🔥🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I wish I could mute Terrell from this whole video I’m not gonna lie. I’m so annoyed with him and his takes on anything Kendrick related
It’s okay to have a different opinion than you.
Y’all peep that twin connection of them doing the same exact movement at the same time at the 8:07 mark? Lmao
Sahbabii album harder
All I could hear during Man in the Garden is Nas song “One Mic”
I felt the same thing about squabble up at first. But that next listen you get to appreciate the entirety of the song!
This is heat but then again I’m biased I’m from Cali. This is going crazy out here
the album felt weak to me, but that’s just me
Yo talks editing is 🔥 now salute
Snooze fest
