crazy thing about DNA is that he lists off 23 things in his DNA ... which is the same amount of chromosomes you have in your DNA. Kendrick is on a whole nother level 🤣
also the part after the beat drop near the end was apparently him freestyling, and they left the mic on even though the song was over. crazy.
Kendrick is the greatest living lyricist alive today imo. He’s constantly putting out incredibly detailed, deep, real music
Just like in “how much a dollar cost” hes writing his verses to tell a story from the bible that warns about greed. Hes on another level 🐐
yes guys, you prolly got only 23
23 *pairs of chromosomes.
Okayyyy here we go. So DAMN. tells two stories about two different paths. Wickedness or Weakness. BLOOD. to DUCKWORTH. is the path of weakness. And DUCKWORTH. to BLOOD. is the path of wickedness. So BLOOD. starts off by asking the listener if you will choose the path of Kendrick. That path being wickedness or weakness. Weakness is essentially the path where Kendrick chooses humbleness over pride and chooses love over lust. And chooses his faith in God instead of losing it which is the track XXX. (XXX in Roman numerals is 30 which is the year where Jesus died). and DUCKWORTH. is essentially the track where Kendrick lives since he was signed into the Top Dawg label because of his father(Ducky) met Anthony (the person who made the Top Dawg Label). However if you listen to the album backwards. Kendrick loses his faith in God, chooses lust over love, and chooses his pride over humbleness. And at BLOOD. he dies in a gunfight (probably gang related) because his father (Ducky) died and Kendrick wasn't signed into the Top Dawg Label since Ducky didn't meet Anthon. And I believe that blind woman in BLOOD. is justice herself. As people say, Justice is blind. And Kendrick Lamar dies unfairly and his name gets thrown across the mud by the media (CNN, etc). That's what I believe this album is about but who knows it could mean smth else. Am only make these assumptions by the title of the tracks alone so the songs themselves could make an entirely different story.
This is the way of thinking about the album, id agree with majority of this. Starting with Duckworth being the wickedness route makes more sense when you think about how TPAB ended with Tupac not answering Kendrick because he died, like how kendrick does at the end of Damn with BLOOD, he chose wickedness
Great take bro the way you put it is
logical , and also Kendrick didn’t want to answer the question about why the album started and ended that way in an interview with Apple Music I think ,probably because he want us to make what ever we want with it , bro gave us 7 years of homework 😂😂😂
I’m still learning new stuff about this album ever time I listen to it
This album is waaaaay deeper than it comes of as, that especially applies to the more commercial songs. This album has a lot of heavy topics such as religion, and the duality between abstract concepts like humbleness, pride fullness, love, and lust. It’s also a continuation of his two previous studio albums. I honestly suggest you do a personal deep dive because the reason it’s sounds so commercial is this is supposed to be more appealing to the masses so you’ll never truly appreciate what this whole album brings to his overall story just by listening. Hope this helps 👍🏾
"Is it Wickedness? is it weakness?"
@@marche800love how he threw the two main themes off the album so casually, and you don’t realize until you dive in
The line on Duckworth, “ it was always me vs the world, until i found its me vs me” Me vs the World is a tupac album which ties in to the end of TPAB where he has the convo with tupac and he ends the album with that poem about the hungry caterpillar(wickedness) and the weak butterfly (weakness) and he explores that idea more in DAMN.
I gotta listen to some of Tupac’s music 💯
@@justdatboie100%
This a hard reach
@@adawggg425 nah bro you just gotta pay a little attention
@@adawggg425 so in tpab he has the poem about TPAB that grows throughout the album. Then he has this 2nd poem after the convo with tupac, that one leads into the main idea of damn, being a hungry caterpillar (wickedness) vs being a weak butterfly (weakness). He starts DAMN with that same dichotomy in BLOOD.
But Kendrick himself released a second DAMN album thats reversed which means there some weight to that idea. And if you start it from Duckworth it says, “it was always me vs the world(tupacs album also the way he thought about life because he was a hungry caterpillar) until i found its me vs me(Kendrick new way of thinking through weakness)
Never let anyone tell you that DAMN is a commercial album. Its about the struggle between good and evil
just letting you know, Anthony in Duckworth is Top Dawg also known as the guy who signed Kendrick Lamar to Top Dawg Entertainment, his label up untill this past year.
I did not know Top Dawg had that type of background wow
@@justdatboie Please react to the new stonebwoy “5TH DIMENSION “ album and thank me later

Another way to interpret the end part of duckworth that a lot of people thought at the time was this album had a second story. Listening to the album as it tells the story of Kendrick growing up with his father but if you listen to all the songs backwards it tells the story of him growing up without his father. This theory was kinda supported when Kendrick dropped Damn. Collector’s edition and that was just the album flipped backwards
I feel like this album is called Damn. because after every song I sit there and go "Damn." because of how good it was. If you're looking for more good bass I'd recommend checking out Currents by Tame Impala
All I’m waiting for it Mr. Morale and the big steppers 😭 which explores, analyzes and reflects on his life experiences during his therapy journey. Its lyrics touches on a variety of personal themes, including childhood and generational trauma, infidelity, and celebrity worship.
I love how your last words after the album ended were simply "Wow.. Damn."
Excellent video! I was excited for this. Can’t wait till you get to Mr Morale!
41:07 "I need some water, something came over me" basically saying he's being thirsty without saying the word. Next line "Way too hot to simmer down, might as well overheat" is him giving into his lustful thoughts. Song name is LUST. after all
The line" I'll probably die walking back home from the candy house is probably also a reference to Treyvon Martin, who died on his way back from buying skittles for his little brother
Anthony from Duckworth is Top Dawg, the founder of TDE (Top Dawg Entertainment), Kendrick's label (until last year). He is the guy who signed him, and he also met again his father when he signed Kendrick. "20 years later you make the same strangers meet again, inside a recording studio looking for they own benefits".
I never seen a reactor connect How Much A Dollar Cost to Blood. Keep it up bro
Always great to watch your reactions! Really enjoy how much you go in depth and give your thoughts about all the songs
Thank you!
the album was also intended and able to be listened to bottom to top! Offers a different persepective.
Wow, now that’s something I haven’t heard of before
The sample in LUST. Is RAT BOY (I love rat boy), it’s from his song KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK
The sample for Loyalty is so random, it’s 24k magic by Bruno Mars, reversed and x3 high pitch
great work bro!
Unpopular opinion but it's my favourite album from kendrick
The beginning part of Loyalty is a super interpolated version of Bruno Mars' "24 Karat Magic", which actually beat him out at the Grammy's.
god bless you man,goat reacts to goated album🔥🔥🤞🏾
Thank YOU for being so supportive🙏🏾
i love your reactions man seriously

Anthony is TopDawg...CEO of TDE
Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
Give Get an Idea by Kenny Mason, i think youd love it
Duckworth, Pride, and XXX top 3 in no order
i agree 100%
dude you gotta listen to mr morale and the big steppers kendrick’s recent album🙏🏼
Yo the next artist you should check out is MF DOOM he’s referred as your favorite rapper’s rapper for good reason too
yo if you havent already heard it, listen to CARE FOR ME by Saba. 10/10
i need some Mac Miller reactions 🤞🤞
Thundercat played bass on "Feel".
I’ve heard that name around. Does he have his own band or record?
@Just Dat Boi E His own r&b record, "It Is What It Is", is glorious. Let me put it this way: the single is called DRAGONBALL DURAG.
He does a lot of guest spots/session player gigs all over hip-hop and was in the thrash band Suicidal Tendencies for a while.
Kendricks last name is Duckworth, that means his dad's name is ducky Duckworth 💀💀.
💀💀
Wya for mr morale
gee
Rihanna's accountant lost her MILLIONS of dollars. That's why she wrote "bitch better have my money"
MILLIONS??? Hands would’ve been launched👊🏾
Hits?? Smoking rocks 😂
Have you ever heard of Madvillainy?
Also What's Going On.
I’m all good man. Just been real busy. Thanks for asking🙏🏾
54:50 “I beat your ass keep talking back” right after the lyrics were literally talking backwards
