This song is his most well known off his album Good Kid MAAd City, this album is what gave him his place as a top rapper since this showed his ability to storytell while still making them hits. This album is his story growing up in Compton and how it shaped him. It has “interludes” between songs that have extra story telling pieces, if you listen from beginning to end it is honestly crazy. You should definitely react to more from this album.
Close but his most well known songs from this album is kill my vibe or swimming pools they had the most main stream success and can’t forget poetic justice and sing about me
Maan this song is so timeless, great reaction! This song truly highlighted what Kendrick is all about, someone who refused to be a product of his environment even though he was surrounded by tragedy
Pirus is a gang that originates from Compton, they wore red before the bloods were formed and even had a short alliance with the crips. But after fights over territory over drugs and money the piru and crips became enemies and joined the bloods when they formed. The piru gang got split up after years of internal conflict. Kendrick grew up in a piru neighborhood the west side piru. He mentions another rapper that comes from a clique called the tree top piru (yg who is another artist who is amazing).
Pirus are pirus they wear burgundy (not red) they say blood and are in conflict with crips and say Brompton which u should never say in compton unless you're a piru. but they are NOT bloods. It's a little more complicated than that. You got Brims, damu, pirus, and then you got bloods. A piru could be walking down the street and come across a blood and bang on him like if he were a crip (some don't get along) Example: there's southsiders and sureños (completely different). We have Maravillas and sureños. Maravilla is just that maravilla they're not sureños even tho they say Ese, Southside, and from los angeles (birth of sureños) they're not Sureños but they are southsiders. Sureño is a gang/mafia southsiders are more of their geographic location. Lowell street gang of Los Angeles are southsiders but NOT sureños
@Moo here's all you need to know piru is the last name. A gang can't call themselves piru street crip even tho at the beginnin they did, piru street 13, piru street 14. Piru street Latin kings, piru street bloods Piru is its own last name they're their own gang even tho they say blood and wear red at times.

Kendrick didn’t intentionally lace his marijuana. Someone else laced it and didn’t tell him (I’m assuming the drug dealer). As he said in the song, it’s the reason he hardly smokes anymore because of his first experience with marijuana being laced.
Once you listen to each song on this album, you should sit down on your own time and listen to the entire album from start to finish. For some context, it's a story album and this song transitions into another song you listened to already, Swimming Pools (Drank). That's what the voicemails at the end or beginning of each song are for.
Absolutely obsessed with your videos lately. Please please, even if you don't review it, do yourself the favor of listening to the full LP good kid, m.A.A.d city. From start to finish the album is nothing short of a masterpiece, literally a short film by Kendrick Lamar. Each song puts you on an emotional rollercoaster in similar ways to m.A.A.d city. My favorite album of all time.
I think you would really like DUCKWORTH by him. It's literally the conincidences that lead to his career. It's a really crazy story. Tbh if you ever get to listen to his full albums they all tell a complete story.
"If Pirus and Crips all got along, They'd probably gun me down by the end of this song" Piru "Bloods" and Compton "Crips" The comptom part is simple enough, but Piru is a street. The original set of bloods, as far as I know.
Honestly... Just to chill with Tom; Nick ur so blessed to have him as a father. Not saying he was perfect... But the effort he puts into this... I can tell he puts it into all facets of his life. It warms my heart. My father was... An addict, God bless em. He was also disabled, divorced... Couldn't play music anymore which was his whole identity. Could u imagine? Also he was battling depression and mental health. I don't hold it against him anymore. But umm yeah. U guys are great, ty.
I didn't grow up in Compton or the LA area but being from North Minneapolis I had quite a few experiences that make able to relate to this song way more than I like to admit sometimes.
Pirus are the original Blood gang that was based off Piru Street in Los Angeles. Bloods, along with Crips, have branched out to many different sets of Bloods and Crips. The more you know 😬😬😬
And bloods were crips but wanted to branched to to make $ and have their own power and crips started to help their community but now it’s just gang gang
Pirus were crips back then but because of conflict reasons they seperated and cslled themselves piru boys. Pirus are pirus they wear burgundy (not red) they say blood and are in conflict with crips and say Brompton which u should never say in compton unless you're a piru. but they are NOT bloods. It's a little more complicated than that. You got Brims, damu, pirus, and then you got bloods. A piru could be walking down the street and come across a blood and bang on him like if they were rivals (some don't get along) Example: there's southsiders and sureños (completely different). We have Maravillas and sureños. Maravilla is just that maravilla they're not sureños even tho they say Ese, Southside, and from los angeles (birth of sureños/southside terms) they're not Sureños but they are southsiders. Sureño is gangs/mafia southsiders are more of their geographic location. Lowell street gang of Los Angeles are southsiders but NOT sureños Fresno bulldogs wear the color red and from Northern California (central cali to be exact) but they're not nortenos they're their own thing they conflict with both nortenos and surenos
Long but important history from an Angelino: The Crips came before the Prius. But the first documented Black gang was formed in the 1840s by runaway slaves as a means to protect themselves from white violence. During Jim Crow/sharecropping/ urban migration, they started to get involved w petty organized crime bc it was the only legitimately viable way for 90% of the community to generate income. Only Du Bois’ “talented tenth” had other options. The Crips were formed in 1969 by two teens who tried to join the Boy Scouts but were rejected bc of their race. It was originally an after school club and youth alternative to the Black Panthers. The name is an acronym for “Community Revolution in Progress.” They then decided to link up w gangbangers from their area as a means to protect themselves from other gangs, who were rising in numbers after segregation was made illegal and “white flight” started to happen. This is bc those parts of the city started to degrade without the privileges, rights, and wealth of the white people. Community development stopped entirely. This lead to an increased demand in income from gangs, then the rivalry and turf wars began bc of competition, much like we see in other gangs like Mafias. The Pirus were formed out of self defense from the Crips in 1969. The Crips jumped two teens at Cenntenial HS (Kendrick’s alma mater). The name came from the Compton’s Piru St. Before all this, non-Crip areas in SLA called each other “blood” as a type of slang. After a few years, in 1973, the Prius formed an alliance with other gangs like the Brims, who were all being overpowered by the Crips. They took on the name “blood” bc the non-Crip slang united them.

Crazy growing up in the same city we're all so desensitized to the violence and when we tell others outside the city they wonder if we are mental lol its always a weird feeling but it's kind of fun telling the crazy stories.
M.A.A.D city. “Made me an Angel in Angel dust. The acronym of the album title is revealed in the final line. This song is perfect and if you want more check out the Dissect podcast
Awesome reaction, You need to check out Dance with the Devil by Immortal Technique but be careful brother that track broke me when I heared it the first time. True underground classic.
The deep voice you hear at the beginning is someone gang banging on him. They ask where his grandma lives because where he grows up and where his grandma lives usually means he knows everyone in that street/hood/gang and he himself hangs with them making him a rival if he answers the wrong streets to the people that's banging on him they could kill him. Basically they're affiliating/labeling him when he might not be a gang member. A piru is just that a piru/gang. People call them bloods but they're not bloods. They say blood, and wear "red" In this case burgundy but they're not bloods. Blood is another gang in compton so you have bloods, Crips, pirus. All rivals The question when he asks if you believe if he killed someone at 16 is just that a question. If you see him walking down the street would you think he's a killer and this tough gang member. Or would you say na he's not a threat he's just a kid. He's just kendrick. What would you see
Please please please please to Father time by him it’s on his newest album that would be a great one for you to listen to I love the way you explain the lyrics while listening to it that’s why I started watching you but I never thought that you’d take MY suggestion but I hope you do

Kendrick didn’t intentionally lace his marijuana. Someone else laced it and didn’t tell him (I’m assuming the drug dealer). As he said in the song, it’s the reason he hardly smokes anymore because of his first experience with marijuana being laced.
And then he said "i made a promise to see you bleeding" does that mean he will make the one who laced it bleed?
In the song "the art of peer pressure"his friends accidentally gave him the wrong one that was laced.
His friends gave him the "shenanigans" accidently instead of the regular blunt

Yessssss we need that
Yep. Black boy fly, master splinter daughter ect….
The art of peer pressure is the best song for him to listen
How much a dollar costs is such an amazing song

This song is an all time, ALL TIME GREAT. One of those that put Kendrick on the map… I performed this song to my H. English class in 8th grade 🤣🤣🤣
"If Pirus and Crips all got along, They'd probably gun me down by the end of this song"
Piru "Bloods" and Compton "Crips"
The comptom part is simple enough, but Piru is a street. The original set of bloods, as far as I know.
“Made me an Angel on Angel Dust”
One of the meanings of m.A.A.d
i think a song from kendrick with more of the mental aspect would be
the art of peer pressure &
money trees
both from the same album

About him foaming out of his mouth, he didn’t mean to mix them. He talked about a time he hit a blunt that was laced.
