It's aight, sista. It's aight. Thank u for your honesty. God bless.

The first time he mentioned his mother's mother and that he loved her dearly, I assume that she had passed away. He thought that he saw her on a bus while driving by, like a ghost. It's a metaphor for the struggles his grandmother went through on the back of the bus and how that haunted his mother and himself through generational traumas. We feel so far away from the generations before us even though the "apparitions" of them are right in front of our eyes within ourselves

I’m here after Drake’s funeral. Kendrick is timeless.

Much love to you Queen 🥹

If that touched you listen to momma duckworth and then do the heart series Kendrick is a special artist

You are so articulate!

Hold tf up… were you my psychiatrist?

You catch more than 95% of reactors. Keep doing your thing I love hearing your analysis on these songs

I wish I could like your review a million times over.

thanks for this reaction, you actually saw the nuance and depth in the lyrics. too many people just judge it surface level and never gave it another chance

Great review!

I still uncontrollably sob to this song.

I think there was a lot of tension and instead of having a real, educated conversation they let anger and projection get the best of them. As soon as real stuff was being said it suddenly turned into sexual tension... giving the illusion that everything's fine again. In reality it's a physiological release of tension, but the underlying issues remain.

As a queer person I have a double edged opinion on the f bombs being used. I understand he was making a point, that it's bad to use. It's supposed to be cringey to listen to him say it but... I don't know if we're at that point yet? I don't think straight people cringe at the f word like they would if a white person said an ethnic slur or if an able bodied person said R-slur. I think we're at the place where we know it's bad but lots of people still say it like the R word for a while . So, I dunno. Appreciated your thoughts on it. I love the song. it brought me to tears. I'm not black but I come from a lower class background where that "don't ask don't tell" taboo exists too. Kendrick blew the roof off that. Super brave and raw. Also I hear what you're saying about the black community but black straight women have also been some of the biggest supporters and allies so there's also that. Both personally and in activist spaces.

2:57 this mindset is what plagued my mind in 8th grade when i was "exposed" for being bi in my classroom. denial of it only results in rumors.

Only 1 way to react to this song! You did amazing Queen! If them tears dont flow on Mother I Sober, I cant trust you. 💔 Amazing review 👏🏾

Thank you thank you thank you for being real and open and wise ❤️

My sister is a LESBIAN. is married to another women. do i support her lifestyle DECISION. HELL NO!!!!! it is embarrassing wen someone crack on ur love in school. Its ALL ABOMINATION. John 7:24, levticus 20:13, matthew 19:4-6, matthew 12:46-50, matthew 9:34-36, isiah 58:1, levticus 18:29

I hope he makes a video to this.

Keep grinding💪

When you start it up, back up the video a few seconds so you don't miss the line when you stopped. Great reaction and perspective yes!

How does a mothers mistrust of her sons honest answer affect him as a man to trust any other woman in his life?

Beautiful reaction

Kendric should make more like this ,,, touched my ❤, beats just slayed 🫶🏻🫶🏻

What you said I can 100% agree with. Not all but many church goers DO DO that. Which is what initially made me leave the church till I found the Creator in my own way Not gay btw lol. But just saying these institutions are messed up They go to church, yet nobody living like Christ. It’s wild

Love the honest reaction

Whew. I'm not the only one that cried when 1st hearing this song!

Sza was on All the Stars with Kendrick!!

This is a great ghetto cha cha song!! One of my favorite songs on the album!🔥🔥🔥

The love that Kendrick shows for his trans family members is so touching 💛

The fact that Kendrick’s trans uncle inspired him to rap 🫡🤯 mind-blowing stuff!

Great Reaction Your on Point When it comes to Listening and Breaking Down This Track

Finally someone who wasn’t scared to touch upon the most heart wrenching part of the song. Seems like everyone wanna skip or not address the part about slavery, sodomy and the black family. Thank you. I was sexually abused within the family too but cousins but I don’t blame them…they was just as young (2-3yrs older than me) and knew no better. This album make me want to seek therapy so bad, I think I will. Great recap, thanks for understanding ❤️❤️❤️ May God heal us from Post Traumatic Slave Syndrome. Anybody looking to learn more Dr. joy DeGruy is the founder of PTSD (still alive and from Cali) she has seminars on TH-cam and another great book that really break down the present effects of slavery in us is Breaking The Chains of Psychological Slavery by Naim Akbar. Praying for us all!

really nice hearing from a females perspective, but also who is catching and understanding. Great reaction and subbed!

"poverty was the case" reference to "murder was the case"? 🤔💭

when he said "I knew you was conflicted", my brain flashed back to his "I rememher you was conflicted" poem from To Pimp a Butterfly. Was that who he was talking about back then? 🤯

💔💔😭😭😭

Good Review!

Love hearing your takes on the album, hope you keep reviewing stuff after this one! I feel like it'll take people a bit to get used to how he stylizes the songs, but to me the instrumentals are so fun. You're so right, parts of this song just scream Kanye

The heart plays in ways the mind can't figure out <3

That was beautiful sister

Dope video

I think what Kendrick and taylour is saying even though our perspective is fractured we still love each other and we still need each other .

Omg sza wouldove murked this 😍

It all ties in to mental slavery and how its all instilled from back then as to ehy we are go through this stuff today. He basically we at some point we have to breaks the chains of bondage. Its all mental. Also i think kendrick is talking about physical abuse his mum went through with her brother and they thought he was going through it with the brothers son, again that never ending cycle.

This was great. Have a feeling good things are going to come for you and your channel.

Thank you for your insights. This song hit me much in the same way. There’s a brilliant therapist, Resmaa Menakem, he wrote a book called “My Grsndmothers Hands”. He really lays out a lot of what Kendrick was putting down here. He says that individual trauma decontextualized starts to look like personality traits, family trauma decontextualized starts to look like family dynamics and patterns, and collective trauma experienced by a people starts to look like culture. It’s going to take a lot of healing for us to work our way out of this, but starting to learn how to face our pain and talk to each other about it is where we start.

I think the “mothers mother” line was a double play on both the prior sentence and the following one. His mother’s mother, followed him after she died. The “back of some buses” line could be stating that she experienced that since her generation was during the civil rights movement. It’s also an extension to the next line “I wake up at night”, saying he sometimes falls asleep in the same spot she used to sit in.. on the back of the bus..

Boring reaction

Great breakdowns and reviews.
