The blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice The blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice The blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice The blacker the berry, the BIGGER I SHOOT
i'd personally change mortal man to either the first 15 seconds or the last 15 seconds. Kendrick saying "Pac?" at the end with the crazy instrumentals always get me emotional
For me, it's the part of the verse before 0:03 "What you want? You a house or car? 40 acres and a mule? A piano a guitar? Anything, see my name is Uncle Sam, I'm your dog. Motherfucker you can live at the mall! I know your kind (That's why I'm kind) No receipts man? (Aw man that's fine) Pay me later, wear those gators. Cliche? Then say fuck your haters!" This part essentially shows America (Uncle Sam) convincing Kendrick (Black people) to trust him and spend money irresponsibly(Waer those gators) and fall into debt ( Pay me later). The verse goes even harder into this theme later on, but this specific part will be my favorite on this verse because of the low instrumental in the back. Can sing this whole section of it.
That's probably my favourite verse ever. "I can see the baller in you I can see the dollar in you Little white lies, but it's no white collar in you But it's whatever, though, because I'm still following you Because you make me live forever, baby, count it all together, baby Then hit the register and make me feel better, baby"
When I saw the day where Twitter was convinced this album was bad I was sad , not just as a Kendrick fan , but as a hip hop fan it seems as if albums as we know it is gonna be changed forever in what people consider good. It seems people now prefer a playlist of random songs with no theme as long as the beat sounds good. No story No purpose needed
@@Pokemonfan612when people say it’s the best album of all time that definitely makes it susceptible to being called overrated. It’s a good album though
3:09 hes saying "the blacker the berry the sweeter the juice" until the end of the lines he says "the bigger I shoot" and then I think its "they treat me like a sl@ve call me black, do you feel the leap of pain call me black"
@@Toivious I said they treat me like a slave, cah' me black Woi, we feel a whole heap of pain, cah' we black And man a say they put me inna chains, cah' we black Imagine now, big gold chains full of rocks How you no see the whip, left scars pon' me back But now we have a big whip parked pon' the block All them say we doomed from the start, cah' we black Remember this, every race start from the block, just remember that
For me I love the intro of “i”, the instrumental build-up to the chorus and Kendrick’s crazy flow was one of my favorite parts of the album. Super underrated song
I really like that part but I think the verse that comes just before it is really incredible. Tyler referenced that bridge "Wonder if you look both ways when you cross my mind" on See You Again which is such a good song
"what do you got to offer? tell me before we off ya, put you deep in the coffin" everytime the beat stops and he goes into that verse i ascend to another realm
Man. I fw this content. Most people would usually post this video like “here’s the 15 seconds, you can’t debate anything better” and the comments go ape shit. This video actually explains why they are your favorite and they are all valid explanations which leaves me no reason to be upset or anything. We need to move this way for content. Good shit bro ❤️
For mortal man, I like when Kendrick starts the poem, with the I remember you was conflicted, as the instrumental is playing in the background and slowly fading out, favorite moment in the album
nah blacker the berry is the end of the last verse when the beat stops n he's just spitting heat. and how much a dollar cost is so obviously the god reveal.
I would change king kunta to the part the breakdown where Kendrick is rapping to just the bass cuz the flow is crazy Also in how much a dollar cost I would change it to the part where Kendrick repeats “he staring at me” cuz it’s incredible how well he communicates the situation, it paints the picture in your head perfectly
imo the best bit of instatutionslkzed is the first verse or kendrick’s verse cus his tiny little voice fits really well with the beat and has a nice glow
this is my favorite album of all time and, to me, it's the biggest lyrical triumph in the history of music without a shadow of a doubt. But, what you call a "poem" isn't a poem. It's prose.
I agree with almost all of these 100% but on Alright my favorite part is the first verse especially NOW TELL MY MOMMA I LOVE HER BUT THIS WHAT I LIKE, LORD KNOOWWSSS
"Idk wtf he saying but it's hard"
fr
not watched it yet but i guess its the blacker the berry jamaican man
correct lmao
The blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice
The blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice
The blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice
The blacker the berry, the BIGGER I SHOOT
No way bro doesnt know the 2pac reference

Still my favourite kendrick song ever
He's saying cliche as a question? I always heard it as "Cliche 'gain, say fuck your haters"
Seeing a girl twerk on kendrick while listening to u is crazy 😂

This why I don’t have twitter… what even was their argument that this is remotely bad??
@@mexicanink746Because Cole said it was bad, or more specifically boring and overrated, if I had to guess
@@Pokemonfan612then him saying that kept him awake at night and tore him up so bad he took his shit off streaming and apologized at a festival lmaoooo
@@Pokemonfan612but the Twitter mfs was saying that when it came out… 9 years ago 😭
@@Pokemonfan612when people say it’s the best album of all time that definitely makes it susceptible to being called overrated. It’s a good album though
I feel like the reveal in how much a dollar cost is the best part is the best part of the song.
3:09 hes saying "the blacker the berry the sweeter the juice" until the end of the lines he says "the bigger I shoot" and then I think its "they treat me like a sl@ve call me black, do you feel the leap of pain call me black"
Nah i knew the blacker the berry the bigger I shoot, it was just after
@@Toivious
I said they treat me like a slave, cah' me black
Woi, we feel a whole heap of pain, cah' we black
And man a say they put me inna chains, cah' we black
Imagine now, big gold chains full of rocks
How you no see the whip, left scars pon' me back
But now we have a big whip parked pon' the block
All them say we doomed from the start, cah' we black
Remember this, every race start from the block, just remember that
For me I love the intro of “i”, the instrumental build-up to the chorus and Kendrick’s crazy flow was one of my favorite parts of the album. Super underrated song
i is underrated?
@@kermitthefrog4362 people don’t talk about it enough
personally i think the part at the start of hood politics is the best, i really need a full song over that beat
Yeah I’m honestly a little disappointed he didn’t use that beat instead.
Boo boo
From Compton, to congress.
BOO BOO 🗣🗣🗣
yeah a lot of times i listen to the intro and then skip the song lmao
wesleys theory is easily the LoOk BoThh WaYs BeForE You CrOSS MY MIND
the best part of wesleys theory is "Leavin' metaphors metaphysically in a state of euphoria
Look both ways before you cross my mind"
I really like that part but I think the verse that comes just before it is really incredible. Tyler referenced that bridge "Wonder if you look both ways when you cross my mind" on See You Again which is such a good song
In my opinion the rest of the song after the phone call in Wesley’s theory goes SO hard istg
I love the flow and cadence in that one bar from "You ain't gotta lie", makes me bop my head up and down
"what do you got to offer? tell me before we off ya, put you deep in the coffin"
everytime the beat stops and he goes into that verse i ascend to another realm
The transition from These Walls to u is so breathtaking, truly a visionary.
1:44 the rhythm of the song with videos💀💀💀
Lmao

Really appreciate it bro ❤
FINALLY someone shows some respect to For Sale. Genuinely one of my fav instrumentals on any song, ever. Shoutout to the producer, Taz Arnold!
tbh every take is W but i do thing the "I am god" bit in how much a dollar cost is slightly better than the bit afterwards
On weasleys theory in my opinion the best bar is “a can see the baller in you, I can see the dollar in you”
I personally believe that the best part of "How Much A Dollar Cost?" Was the moment of revelation and the beautiful outro of the song
Also, Mortal Man has a beautiful instrumental climax after the Michael Jackson bar that re-emphazise the message of the song beautifully.
For mortal man, I like when Kendrick starts the poem, with the I remember you was conflicted, as the instrumental is playing in the background and slowly fading out, favorite moment in the album
The transition between hood politics and how much a dollar costs is like opening a door to a safe haven realizing you can defeat the final boss.
nah blacker the berry is the end of the last verse when the beat stops n he's just spitting heat. and how much a dollar cost is so obviously the god reveal.
Kendrick the 🐐 🔥👑
I would change king kunta to the part the breakdown where Kendrick is rapping to just the bass cuz the flow is crazy
Also in how much a dollar cost I would change it to the part where Kendrick repeats “he staring at me” cuz it’s incredible how well he communicates the situation, it paints the picture in your head perfectly
Also shoutout to the transition between hood politics and how much a dollar really cost cuz shits hard as all hell
Idk how you only have 1 k subs your content is insane
i lowk love these best 15 second videos so i can see if i should listen to it or not
imo the best bit of instatutionslkzed is the first verse or kendrick’s verse cus his tiny little voice fits really well with the beat and has a nice glow
“I love the synths” proceeds to play a clip with zero synths 😭😭
Amazing.
Last verse on these walls. The vocal effects, instrumentation, the diss, and reveal
2:08 I’VE BEEN LOOKIN FOR MY WHOLE LIFE!
The one I disagree with the most is u because AAAHAAAHHHAAAA! goes hard
the mortal man one is so true
Not picking rapsody’s part is wild but… i forgive you that whole song bangs
Best part of Complexion is "I got the world attention so I'ma say something that's vital and critical for survival..."
Hmadc has to be the “I am god” part
the around video is these walls music video
this is my favorite album of all time and, to me, it's the biggest lyrical triumph in the history of music without a shadow of a doubt. But, what you call a "poem" isn't a poem. It's prose.
Jamaican guy murdered that song
alright's gotta be the pause!!!!
These walls best part is that last part when Kendrick just spazzing. Like the “and how she fucking on a famous rapper” part me personally.
For sale? Is so underappreciated
So real for ‘i’ the album version is soooo much better than the single
for me momma its the last part the Ive been lookin for you my whole life part
I agree with almost all of these 100% but on Alright my favorite part is the first verse especially NOW TELL MY MOMMA I LOVE HER BUT THIS WHAT I LIKE, LORD KNOOWWSSS
That part is so goood too
You should do Pink Floyd the wall
best part of u is the “i hate you too” part
we just gonna take the hook over the last verse on blacker the berry?
🤷
best part of how much a dollar cost has got to be him revealing that the homeless man is god
whats the song for the outro of the vid?
I love the rebloodican and democrip bar on hood politics
w but tbh i like the chorus in the single version of i better, idk why lol
1:42 what happenin in tha background 😭😭
Do gkmc pls🙏🙏🙏🙏
I know it’s not hip-hop but can you so Dirt please?
can you do the is the ocky way
If you can sing the opening of wesleys theory
@@Toivioussilenced lol
@@Toivious Every ninja has a star
You didn't pick Rapsody's verse on complexion?
It's great, but that chorus is sooo groovy man
kinda cap on some of em
Imo the single is far better than album version of i
TPAB is shmid
