How much a dollar cost is honestly my favorite track off this album. Just the build up, the backing jazz band, and story telling is unparalleled. Simply perfect.
‘These Walls’ is a quadruple entendre: 1 - vaginal walls 2 - walls of the projects/hood 3 - prison walls 4 - walls of the inmate’s mind (as he thinks about his girl with a famous rapper)
Walls of the girls mind too as he brings up interrogation as he’s trying to find out why she’s sad and what she thinks about her man in jail while they have sex
@@eco5312 then it’s a quintuple entendre. So many people get caught up with the incredible beat & hook that they don’t realize how technically incredible (from a lyricism point of view) that song is. Nearly impossible to get on a first listen so not critiquing this video at all; just a general statement
In Alright when your wife comments on the reused lyrics of "40 acres, a mule, a piano a guitar", that entire verse opening is almost word for word from the second verse of Wesley's theory... Only major lyric changed is in Wesley's theory it's "my name is uncle Sam, im your dawg, motherfucker you can live at the mall" where in Alright it's "my name is Lucy I'm your dog, motherfucker you cab live at the mall". This part of the album is when Kendrick starts getting more aware of the pressures of neoliberal America and the music industry, so this reveal is him relating neoliberal America to being unholy, and speaking for Lucifer etc.
One of the best albums ever. Kendrick’s magnum opus. I remember I was dating a girl and she didn’t care to listen to the lyrics. Needless to say we ain’t together anymore ! Standouts on this album are Hood Politics, Blacker the Berry, complexion, king kunta, these walls and alright. You two are great you don’t need to understand every lyric 🔥
I love that her reaction is just like all of our (hiphop heads) reactions. I'd love to see a follow up video of what she thinks after a few more listens. She already mentioned she's been going back to GKMC and its clear she loves this album as well. Awesome video!
Mortal man is one of my top 1 favorite song of all time, it’s so good. This is a great reaction too, hope to see a reaction to Kendrick Lamar’s DAMN. album💜
Same, a beautiful philosophical and personal journey. It's a work of art and pure genius with so many relevant and painful themes that are the reality for so many to this day.
It’s an art piece. It’s the only way I can describe it. It’s that good that I find it hard to believe someone manage to construct an album in this manner.
It's so nice seeing your wife be so open to new music. Really enjoyed the reaction! TPAB may not be my favorite Kendrick album but its definitely one if not his best album.
A lyric from this album that doesn't get talked about a lot but I really love is on the intro of the Blacker The Berry, where the female voice sings ''They want us to bow... down to our knees. And pray to the god... we don't believe.'' Right before the beat comes in
You two have quickly become my favorite reaction channel. I can't wait to hear what she thinks of this album, the production is so good. Thank you both for the entertaining content.
it’s actually pretty sweet every time i watch these videos cause i find so pure the fact that you as a couple are able to share things that each other like and be open minded even when’s not the usual type of music you would enjoy, it really shows how close you are
17:38 - These Walls is almost a prequel for some of the self issues he addresses on Mr. Morale and the Big Steppers: his addiction of infidelity which almost cost him his own relationship
@@_truthBtold I hate old heads with this mentality, why do you think people nowadays can't make good music? I think ilmatic is an incredible album, probably in my top 5, but this is not bs, the lyrical complexity, the production, the ending with the poem with tupac, it's absolutely insane how good this is
Even the unreleased demos from this album ended up going on Untitled, Unmastered which became #1 on billboard US Top 200. That just let's you know how much Kendrick was in his bag during this album
32:37 - y'all missed the focus of "Momma" but it's because he didn't vocally say it in the song. It was mostly about him going to Africa for the first time, specifically Cape Town, South Africa. It's called Momma because of it's nickname for the Motherland of all civilization, especially black people. Some of the rest of the album songs stay in that subject like Complexion, The Blacker the Berry & Mortal Man.
Not sure if you guys have a running list of projects to hit, but some Mick Jenkins would be sick. Every album is an almost no-skip for me. Love from Maryland you guys rock
I've heard that Prince actually showed up to the studio, but he spent so much time discussing the concept of the record with Kendrick that they ran out of time. I don't know if that's actually true, though.
Awesome video yall! Thank you! Can't wait for you guys to get to the rest of his discography. I hope section 80 and untitled unfastened get done as well even if you do the big main albums first More Danny brown will be great too
Great reaction here. Kendrick’s self-reflection is always masterful. And it’s always more interesting than the more mainstream content. All over this album are moments where Kendrick takes a lot of time to explain why he is the way he is, only to turn the story back around on himself. Momma: “I’m famous. I have everything. I know everything. I’m untouchable. Oh wait, when I came home, I realized nothing I just bragged about has any importance.” How much a dollar cost: “I got where I am alone, I don’t owe you anything. You can’t guilt me into helping you. Oh wait, this is the high power speaking to me, and I deserve to lose my spot in heaven because of how I just acted.” Blacker the Berry: “The entire system is pulling us down. It’s all their fault. We wouldn’t do this to eachother like they are. Oh wait, I was literally in the exact same position.”
I find myself on the verge of tears a lot when i listen to this album, especially during the blacker the berry and how much a dollar cost. Amazing album and there is nothing like it.
I know this may not be one of the first ones on your raydar to do in the future but 1999 by Joey Bada$$ is definitely a mixtape you guys should listen too. One of the best hiphop albums/mixtapes ever
I would love to see you guys react to something from Lil Wayne, Tha Carter 3 for example. I think it's one of the best hip-hop albums of all time and a must-listen to a newcomer in hip hop.
I’m really enjoying watching the reactions from someone who’s new to Kendrick and the other albums and artists you guys post. It really takes me back to when I first heard these songs and how astounding they are. I’m definitely a fan.
@@influxxxNah he’s not, DAMN was good but Mr Morale was pretty good first listen it didn’t have that good of replay value tho, and I def think he could’ve done way better. Still a solid project
Molly after every song on TPAB: “I loved that.”
Same, Molly. Same.
How much a dollar cost is honestly my favorite track off this album. Just the build up, the backing jazz band, and story telling is unparalleled. Simply perfect.
then Ron at the end to tie it all up. Definitely my favorite track as well.
It’s my favorite after Wesley’s theory and blacker the Berry. Those 2 bring the energy. How much a dollar cost is poetic and smooth jazz like you said

2 - walls of the projects/hood

so this broke the 4th wall and goes into 5th

literally my exact list except you left "i" off? Shocked tbh but different (left) strokes 👌
@@Muzikrazy213 “I” the album version is a little different from the lead single version. I had enough of the song before the album came out
Can't wait for a Mr Morale reaction
I love that her reaction is just like all of our (hiphop heads) reactions. I'd love to see a follow up video of what she thinks after a few more listens. She already mentioned she's been going back to GKMC and its clear she loves this album as well. Awesome video!

My favorite album of all time always an emotional ride every listen
Best album in rap period.
I love how she looks at him when he is explaining stuff.
Y'all just made me go back to the album ❤
she NEEDS to mr. morale & the big steppers 😭
Y'all should checkout "The Forever Story" by J.I.D
They gotta listen to the never story first fs
My favorite Kendrick album 💿. The funk element and poetry was on point. 💯
Objectively his best work. Not listening to the album front to back is a cardinal sin. Don’t think it’s his most replayable tho
The blacker the berry literally got me through my break-up, its my favorite song off the album
Congratulations brother. You got a winner 🏆 a great mind on her
I love this channel so much
Still making my way through all this videos but we need more kdot!!
Most important / greatest hip hop album of our generation!!
The Suns Tirade next pls
god i wish i had the pleasure of listening to this album for the first time again
You guys should do Absolutely by Dijon and then, if you can, react to the short film for the album
Just do Kendrick Lamar entire discography at this point she seems to rlly enjoy them
Keep up the good work, love from northeast india.
There will probably never be another album created that’s better than TPAB
You should have waited to show her this. She will forever compare albums to this now. 😭
Great reaction, goated album 🖤
Next video
4 Your Eyez only
or
2014 Forrest Hills Drive
PLEAASSSEEEE :)
I think you two should react to "for yours eyes only" album by J cole
She should listen to IGOR🔥
2014 forest hills drive needed
Ngl I hella respect the top 5 of Molly, especially the number 1 is such a great pick imo
My favorite artist!1
It would be dope if you guys could do a reaction to food and liquor by Lupe fiasco if you haven’t heard of him? he is a very witty and creative rapper
Please please please react to Mr Morale and The Big Steppers and DAMN
Wow reaction guys :)
Best album oat
Happy Holidays to you all, and peace be upon you beyond.
Could you do Cherry Bomb by Tyler the Creator at some point?
the college dropout next
yeah
OMG!
Please react to Damn next 🙏❤️
the greatest 🔥
🔥🔥
Great reactions! New sub here
mr morale pls
21:04 yeah
Producers needs at least $50M for carrying this guy’s entire career 😭😭
Where is the yeah counter
21:01
Sigma rizzy gyattster
You missed interpreting 'for free'
Plz react to Eminem’s albums
"Yeah, yeah, yeah"
"Yeah... Yeah."
"Yeah"
"Yeah"
Transcribed the audio for y'all!
please do untitled unmastered! has some of kendricks best ever tracks on it (in my opinion anyway)
If she thinks this album is vulnerable, she should hear Mr morale 😂
This clears buddy
@@prodigy9885nah mmatbs is way more personal and vulnerable. This is obviously the greater album but you can’t deny the vulnerability of Mr morale.
@@prodigy9885bruh he was talking about vulnerability not how it sounds
@@prodigy9885you need a dictionary buddy😂😂
This is just as vulnerable from a different perspective. People who grew up in this environment get the vulnerability
the way she recognized pharrell's producer tag in alright almost IMMEDIATELY 😭truly amazing
Goals 😂
that 4 count is like his non verbal producer tag
We'd all die if we took a shot every time she said "wow" 😂😂😂
Don't forget the "yeah"😂
"Ok"
Big facts
She said Pharrel when Alright started. Man, you won!
For sale interlude is so underrated, probably my favorite instrumental on the album. It feels so surreal. Great reaction!
It sounds so majestic. Reminds me of some shit I've heard from Snarky Puppy, with those synths.
This album transcends music for me it’s more than an album
Same, a beautiful philosophical and personal journey.
It's a work of art and pure genius with so many relevant and painful themes that are the reality for so many to this day.
It’s an art piece. It’s the only way I can describe it. It’s that good that I find it hard to believe someone manage to construct an album in this manner.
Its so fucking weird! In the best way
It's so nice seeing your wife be so open to new music. Really enjoyed the reaction!

Kendrick wife was saying “we want the funk” in king junta and she was in another song to
She gotta listen to Illmatic
Second this^
That’s a real rap album there not this BS
@@_truthBtoldif this is BS, why are you even here?
@@_truthBtold I hate old heads with this mentality, why do you think people nowadays can't make good music? I think ilmatic is an incredible album, probably in my top 5, but this is not bs, the lyrical complexity, the production, the ending with the poem with tupac, it's absolutely insane how good this is
@@_truthBtoldI don’t think you’ve listened to this album
My favorite album of all time 😊
definitely should look back on section 80 it’s awesome seeing the foreshadowing to albums further down the line
Honestly one of the best albums ever made.
You guys should listen to "By The Time I Get To Phoenix", from Injury Reserve. I think Molly would like that album.
Even the unreleased demos from this album ended up going on Untitled, Unmastered which became #1 on billboard US Top 200. That just let's you know how much Kendrick was in his bag during this album

yeah we actually discussed it but we had to edit a lot out as the final video was around 3hrs long lol. thanks for watching ✌🏼
@@f11.studios I did notice the reference on The Blacker the Berry. Major respect on the patience of editing 💯
you guys are such a fun duo to sit and listen to music with. love your reaction vids!
Not sure if you guys have a running list of projects to hit, but some Mick Jenkins would be sick. Every album is an almost no-skip for me. Love from Maryland you guys rock
Dude wtf I didnt know Prince was supposed to be on this album too yo wtf lol
I've heard that Prince actually showed up to the studio, but he spent so much time discussing the concept of the record with Kendrick that they ran out of time. I don't know if that's actually true, though.
@@sandenson I can honestly see that happening. They would have great conversations
I sincerely ask u to listen to Voodoo by D’Angelo. Y’all will love it
i bought it when it came out! amazing album
You guys look very healthy
Highly recommend you « 4EVA IS A MIGHTY LONG TIME » by Big KRIT
One of the best albums of all time sonically
Awesome video yall! Thank you! Can't wait for you guys to get to the rest of his discography. I hope section 80 and untitled unfastened get done as well even if you do the big main albums first
More Danny brown will be great too
