Kendrick this is the sound we wanted from you. Thank you for listening to us. I been riding out to this album all weekend and hitting the gym to. Lol please give us more of this.
The woman with the shotgun in that onesie, is a reference to Darlene Ortiz on the back of IceT's 1988 album "Power". Westcoast classic. IceT was dating Darlene at the time. And I love the Hyphy Bay Area shoutout too. This music video filled with Westcoast gems. Kenny does it again!
the giant gold Rolex on the wall was def a tribute to E-40’s “In A Major Way” album cover and the girl in the monokini holding the shotgun is a tribute to Ice T’s “Power” album cover. Kendrick never fails to remind us he’s a student of this hip-hop shit and takes time to give flowers to every era that happened before his
Love that K-DOT shows love to the hispanic community, they are so deeply ingrained in LA culture, and anybody really from socal knows that. Love the influence on this album
It's beautiful to watch, and he has always done so as you say, even when he refers to the dark/affiliation side and the beautiful community side. It's ingrained in his music and life. I'm from South Africa by the way, but I can see what you talking about!
From an LA die hard native… the amount of references to LA Culture that’s avoided past the 10fwy is amazing and a homage to my childhood, adolescent and early adulthood
One of the greatest I agree with He could be the greatest of this era but everyone knows the greatest of all time is.. PAC Frank White Ice Berg Slim J The God Mc And Nasir And if they don’t mention these folks they at least mention 3 out of 5 of them
Why is hardly anyone talking about the Christmas parade?!? I’m in ohio and even I’m excited just knowing how amazing and special it will be for him to pop out and give the kids and community in general a magical experience, he truly is a pure soul😌
Yes to all of this!! It’s so Cali and I am obsessed. I love the references from Ice T’s album cover to Anthony in Menace To Society. The candlelight vigil, training the pitbull, low riders, the unity between crips, bloods and chicanos. Maaaann Kendrick is really for the culture and I am here for all of it.
One of my favorite things about this “beef” is how everything about Kendrick has been cultural, like everything been so Black, so Cali, so authentically him! (Something that Canadian man don’t have.) Dot don’t have to cosplay anything because this is his real life! Man, I love it! ❤❤❤
I mean I’m Team Kendrick all day, but a lot of black Toronto Culture is Caribbean culture. The “Toronto Slang” is basically an offshoot version of Jamaican patois slang. In the same way that Cali culture is a derivative of Down South culture. It’s all migration vibrations sis. But regardless, I love this video too. 🖤 🌴
Ok. Kendrick . Forcing Hip Hop to change direction I see. Pure genius. You either culture or you not. #HipHop is back and outsiders better pay respect when knocking on that door. Debbie Deb sample just nasty
but is it the right direction? corny ass simple beats , simple ass flows, goofy ass vocal inflections. idk how you can make TPAB then about a decade later you make this garbage. its like going from a colony on mars to the stone age, making finger paintings in a cave.
The Black experience!!! Just relived my entire childhood in just under 3 minutes. Man WHAT!!!! The black jaguar statue! My parents had that under they coffee table as a stand!! The Jesus photos on sale at the Compton swapmeet, Soul Train, the old skool photos and backgrounds! Still wrap my hair like that after a flat iron 😅 I'm here for ALL OF IT!!!
It’s crazy I remember back in ‘09 being in high school telling teammates in the locker room that Kendrick was next up. Fast forward now he is the best in the game and firmly in the GOAT conversation.
Why is this energy so immaculate. How is Kendrick broadcasting westcoast to the entire world like this. I never wanted to be from LA so bad in my life. If I cant c-walk immaculately by the time the superbowl comes around i'll never forgive myself.
The soul train reference with the black board and letters and the old school 90's pic background we used to take with the women on the other side. I love this!!!
@@kym1988 I'm on the other side of the world eating dinner fast as a muffuka so I can start on it. Apparently it is ruuuuude to prioritize unscrambling letters from a Kung Fu Kenny video while at the dinner table 🙄 Who knew?🤷🏾♀️
He showin love to the Bay, to the hyphy movement, scraper bikes, everything. Plus he showing love to Chicano/Cholo culture, this video hella dope for all of Cali
The scrabble board : "Omnia Est A liquid" Omnia est aliquid" in Latin translates to "everything is something" in English; essentially meaning that everything can be considered as "something" or has some quality or existence within a larger context.
This video is definitely a Homage to LA culture. But Dot is known to sneak in subtle existential/divine symbolism or message in his music (i.e. reincarnated). Not to mention he ALWAYS has something symbolic in his videos. Everything is literally meticulously intentional with him. As a fan, I always look out for it and enjoy it. One Piece fans would love KDot lol.
Once heard Kanye west say, the industry never allows you to say the name "Jesus" and that it was only him who had the courage to do so without fear of consequences. And here is Kenny just showing us that he is on another level to fear the INDUSTRY 🐐‼🔥
1:10 I believe the lady facing the wall with the gun in hand is referencing the cover for Ice T's album 'Power' from 1988. Kendrick is a true student. Love it.
I love how he put the old school belts with the sayings running across the front 😂!! He brought it way back. I also love the fact he put bbw on as dancers !! He had so much old school stuff in here and messages. I love K Dot ❤❤!!

As an artists, who has been apart of the afrosurrealist movement since before 2020 and the big boom, I'm soooooooooooo happy to see such an authentically black mainstream artist consistently participate and portray the movement and style correctly, hats off to the goat 😌
Yes. gd black folk have been so devoid of self pride and we need it NOW more than ever. If we ever thought we would be accepted by them nah. Time to get back to loving and caring for the community.
So many Cali references. As a person that lived all over from South Central to Compton to Baldwin Hills, Lakewood, Bellflower, Brentwood, Santa Monica, Torrance etc, I know many of these references..That highway sign is what you will see as you head into Compton. It says, Central, Wilmington and Long Beach. The girls in front of the pink background is nostalgic. In high school, so many of us would go to the mall after school and take pictures in the photo stores, then pass em out to our friends or whoever. Wow!! Never hung around gangsters but saw a few of them growing up, especially when they rode their low riders on the shaw (Crenshaw) on Sunday nights before the cops shut it down. So many memories, lol. Oh and can't forget about that Soul Train Board. He even nailed the Latin vibe. Yep, Cali all in one room ☺️
kendrick can make hits, make conscious music, make happy music, make angry music, make depressing music, introspective music, great videos, but most of all he represents our southern cal region proudly. enjoy his music everyone, this stuff doesn't come around much!
The way I feel so inspired after this release and the way Kendrick has dropped without any outside conversations. The music has literally spoken for itself and I understand why inner growth is so imperative to remain in alignment. I am “reincarnated “ hits differently after reflecting on the introspection Kendrick had to really undergo to reach this point. True blessings.

1:45 "omnia est aliquid" is Latin for "everything is something". In case anyone was wondering.
Kendrick Bringing Back Good Rap Music 🎶.. Thank You God ..

Black Moses I just strangled me a goat
The Hyohy movement, the Ice T cover reference, the Cholos, Soul Train, swapmeet pics, there's soo much in this video. I love Kendrick

Thought I was the only one who caught the swap meet painting! The detail fr! So west coast!
Is my music tuff? 🇿🇦🤔
The scrabble board : "Omnia Est A liquid"
Omnia est aliquid" in Latin translates to "everything is something" in English; essentially meaning that everything can be considered as "something" or has some quality or existence within a larger context.
"Everything is everything, this ain't coincidental"
This video is definitely a Homage to LA culture. But Dot is known to sneak in subtle existential/divine symbolism or message in his music (i.e. reincarnated). Not to mention he ALWAYS has something symbolic in his videos. Everything is literally meticulously intentional with him. As a fan, I always look out for it and enjoy it. One Piece fans would love KDot lol.
I was just getting ready to search this!
You need to help someone the people on Internet, who are trying to figure it out now
The capitalised A separate was unlikely to be accidental so he is ALSO saying that everything is fluid imo
Once heard Kanye west say, the industry never allows you to say the name "Jesus" and that it was only him who had the courage to do so without fear of consequences. And here is Kenny just showing us that he is on another level to fear the INDUSTRY 🐐‼🔥
can we talk about how gorgeous the filming is ? every scene looks like a painting.
its because camera is still lmaooo

1:10 I believe the lady facing the wall with the gun in hand is referencing the cover for Ice T's album 'Power' from 1988. Kendrick is a true student. Love it.

As an artists, who has been apart of the afrosurrealist movement since before 2020 and the big boom, I'm soooooooooooo happy to see such an authentically black mainstream artist consistently participate and portray the movement and style correctly, hats off to the goat 😌
W
“Afrosurrealist movement” sounds amazing. I’m looking it up now.
I need a boots Riley directed video
Yes. gd black folk have been so devoid of self pride and we need it NOW more than ever. If we ever thought we would be accepted by them nah. Time to get back to loving and caring for the community.
Ditto on the suggestions for Afrosurrealism!
kendrick is really just a chill guy who drops whenever and lowkey doesn’t gaf. also i love the references

So many Cali references. As a person that lived all over from South Central to Compton to Baldwin Hills, Lakewood, Bellflower, Brentwood, Santa Monica, Torrance etc, I know many of these references..That highway sign is what you will see as you head into Compton. It says, Central, Wilmington and Long Beach.
The girls in front of the pink background is nostalgic. In high school, so many of us would go to the mall after school and take pictures in the photo stores, then pass em out to our friends or whoever. Wow!! Never hung around gangsters but saw a few of them growing up, especially when they rode their low riders on the shaw (Crenshaw) on Sunday nights before the cops shut it down. So many memories, lol. Oh and can't forget about that Soul Train Board. He even nailed the Latin vibe. Yep, Cali all in one room ☺️

kendrick can make hits, make conscious music, make happy music, make angry music, make depressing music, introspective music, great videos, but most of all he represents our southern cal region proudly. enjoy his music everyone, this stuff doesn't come around much!
it really is electrifying
😮
This part!
best comment.
get off the meat
The way I feel so inspired after this release and the way Kendrick has dropped without any outside conversations. The music has literally spoken for itself and I understand why inner growth is so imperative to remain in alignment. I am “reincarnated “ hits differently after reflecting on the introspection Kendrick had to really undergo to reach this point. True blessings.
W
really true :")).
he is such a chill guy
