I’ve always found that metal guys tend to love jazz, so To Pimp a Butterfly is the perfect album to check out. Just an absolutely stacked lineup of contemporary jazz stars came together to produce it, including Kamari Washington, Terrace Martin, and Thundercat. And then, of course, Kendrick raps an extremely dense lyrical narrative over the whole thing. Imagine if John Coltrane and Jaco Pastorius decided to work with a lyricist like Bob Dylan to make an album. That’s basically the equivalent of what this is.
John Coltrane and Jaco Pastorius are numerous levels above Thundercat and Kamasi tho. But even then, I don't think them together couldn't have created something as great as this, on a technical level yes, on a conceptual level, I doubt it.
Usually most metal guys love any type of music that can connect to straight to your emotions. It’s good to feel songs that have a soul to it, if that makes sense
Kendrick’s album To pimp a butterfly came out in 2015 right in the middle of the first wave of the BLM movement. Alright was used a lot within all those marches back then, became somewhat like an anthem. Forgive me for not remembering what songs you’ve already listened to of Kendrick’s but if you haven’t already you should give a couple more songs from that album a listen. - blacker the berry - complexion - how much a dollar costs
First wave..? Modern era wave but homie you late to the party. BLM has been a movement since 1920. Whether it was called BLM or just in general black justice it aint new my guy
@@Iplayquad I’m fully aware that “black justice” in many different forms has been around for a long time but I’m talking SPECIFICALLY the BLM movement. The BLM movement officially started in 2013 but really picked up speed in late 2014 and 2015.
Hey Ghost! I would love to watch these through without pausing. I just get hit with copyright stuff a lot with Kendrick. His stuff is so good and I wish his record company wouldn’t block my videos. The pausing helps 🙂
Divorced from any of the political/lyrical content, this track gives me goose bumps every time. It's so well produced, so well executed, so well designed. Probably one of the most aesthetically beautiful rap songs I've ever heard, and I've heard a lot of them.
The end of the album reveals who he is talking to when he says "I remember you were conflicted...". Though I don't want to spoil it if you are planning on listening to more tracks on the album. In my opinion this is the best rap album ever.
Yes, couldn’t agree more on being the best rap album. I think anyone who really wants to dive into rap and to see what it should be, they need to listen to this album at least once all the way through. The complex way he put it together and how he so beautifully and intricately displayed his ideas is beyond a masterpiece and one of the best projects ever made in any medium in my opinion
@@incandescentserendipity I think it’s better than Illmatic. Obviously just my opinion, but I think the complexities of TPAB is what takes it ever so slightly into a league of its own
@@jordanpinheiro9172 yeah but illmatic is like a classic too and kendrick and nas are also something else cuz hes a bigger lyricist and all that and its like people even put illmatic on number 1 everywhere it was also way more influential etc. th-cam.com/video/2rKJ-ayJXIM/w-d-xo.html And even Kendrick said it's not the best he even prefers GKMC above it everyone thinks different but in the end we both know that both albums are great masterpieces
@@incandescentserendipity yeah but TPAB is pure art, It’s in Harvards libraries of great music (which yes illmatic is too), but what really makes it shine is that it deserved that Pulitzer award, DAMN was given a Pulitzer award when every one knows damn well TPAB is the one that got DAMN that award, His music is leagues above everyone else’s, nothing comes close in my mind, recognized by even the greatest of artists
I love it when metal guys react to hip hop videos because traditionally speaking metal and hip hop kind of came up together in the same types of clubs because they were outcasts and had to play there so they always had a actual mutual respect for one another and if you listen to hip hop as a whole it's far from a shallow concept
Thank you so much, man! I found you through your Kendrick reactions because he's my favorite artist of all time, keep on!🤘🏿 Can I request PRIDE. By Kendrick Lamar?
Great reaction! Id love to hear what you think about Bad Meets Evil - All I think about. (Eminem and Royce) The beat is very different and i would love to see what you think about how anyone can even rap on it. Cheers!!
"Lucy" is Lucifer
Yes

Also talking about Lucien, it’s double

Miles Davis in the mix too?
Beautifully put.
You fuckin' nailed it bro, word up!

@@niki4you ya that makes sense
Dang he was focused
I love watching people watch the entire music video in silence when reacting, adds alot

Such a great track, the silence is the exact same feeling I got first time listening to this song, you just have no words to explain what's going on.
Pulitzer Prize winner. He’s a genius.😎

Kendrick Lamar- Untitled 05
I forgot how much happens at the beginning of this video lol.
I love the fact that you had to pause and regroup after he hit the ground. This, like ALRIGHT gives me hope. ❤
Thanks for the intro music link to this video in the title description. HipHop is my go-to music but metal music is actually dope.
You should react to Kendrick Lamar: HUMBLE.

You should keep on listening and reacting on more of Kendrick's. Keep it up bro.

u look cool
Wow
You should react to The Weeknd
React to U by Kendrick Lamar.
Hey bro listen to kendrick lamar sing about me
What do you mean
@@Rojomoto405 sing about me is the name of the song
@@Rojomoto405 he means “Sing About Me, Im Dying Of Thirst” by Kendrick Lamar
To be fair that song hits hard on the context of the album
Doesn’t have the same impact outside of it
You need to react to “u” now
I feel like there wasn't much reacting in this reaction video 😂
I think his stuff is so deep it takes a few passes through 😆 If anything I was just trying to catch everything.
😈😈
What up metal guy! Please react to our Kendrick Lamar "Alright" Parody ! We PROMISE you will enjoy it!
React to BLACKPINK "HOW YOU LIKE THAT " new song mv its released 4 days ago
This guy's got no emotion on his face
For me, Kendrick Lamar’s lyrics require some concentration and focus 🤘🏼😁
