The fact your wife instantly recognized the Beach House sample on Money Trees makes her automatically a keeper wow
haha she was a keeper before that! beach house is one my favorite bands. might get her to listen to a project
@@f11.studiosdefinitely do Bloom
@@f11.studiosdon’t doubt it lol! Keep up the great reactions y’all earned a sub
@@f11.studiosand definitely would love to see her reaction to either once twice melody or or depression cherry once y’all get around to Beach House
The way his wife looks at him, shes a keeper💯
Sing About Me is STILL probably Kendrick's best song. Goes without saying it's 100% a classic. The storytelling is off the charts.
I'd say without Maad city or don't kill my vibe this album wouldnt be what it is.
@@BankaiFever This is such a bad take
@@17hildylol fr
@@BankaiFeveryeah stick to listening to Drake
@@hahaownedXD I’m a bigger Kendrick fan than you’ll ever be kid. Have u been to his concerts?
“A beautiful person coming from a bad place.”
Perhaps even… “a good kid coming from a m.a.a.d. city”
For Money Trees I'd say its a combination of things. It is one of the best hip hop songs encapsulating an infectious hook, a brilliant performance and lyrical rapping from kendrick and an all-time incredible feature. So its definitely on playlists of all hip hop fans. But apart from that the main reason for such a large number of listens is the sound. The beat mixed with anna wise and kendricks voice is such an infectious feel good sound which makes it have such a huge following on tiktok and short videos. Even for people who arent into rap much.
The phrase Halle Berry or hallelujah even made it into Kendricks verse, also the reference as juggling both coasts. from Fuckin Problems with ASAP Rocky, and Drake. The verse talks more Good Kid inspired with Kendrick's personality similar to how he portrays himself on Good Kidd
Tiktok trend in early/mid 2023 😒
Kendrick has also said recently (kinda) that money trees is his favorite song he's ever made, and the songs listens also shot up after that
For me the best rap songs of all time is good politics, flow, kendrick also showed he can sing and create a dope hook at the same time, chorus background was at perfection, beat was insane with funk and random piano keys being pressed, just art.
@@srenkristiansen2793 So it was a nice combination of things
this is my favorite kendrick album and i feel like it might his best album. really solid body of work
Definitely his best
I’d say TPAB
His best for sure and for me one of the greatest albums flat out all time
Def not his best
Definitely is his best. Most complete album from top to bottom and most digestible. Very few skippable tracks, if any.
Money Trees was already really popular and a lot of peoples favorite Kendrick song (including me) but it grew in popularity since Anna Wise’s part became a really popular TikTok sound about a year ago
having money trees as ur fav song is crazy lmao samidot is on the same album
@@thekingofkats not crazy
doesnt hurt that its also on the GTA5 soundtrack. Coupled with the fact that its one of the most re-playable songs on the album
and??? who cares? money treest is a top three song in the album@@thekingofkats
@@khylechristianderosales1894 ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhg no
Yess!!! I'm so glad you guys chose this as the first album to listen too. Fun fact without any spoilers. Every kendrick lamar project has a conceptual idea behind it beyond just the content within it. His "section 80'" Album is presented to the audience as a book as some of the tracks within are titled in chapters. "Good kid m.a.a.d city" is presented to the audience as a short film. "To pimp a butterfly" is presented to the audience as a poem. That album got him. His later then "Damn" album is presented as a magazine. And his newest release thus far "Mr morale and the big steppers " is portrayed to the audiance as a play.
yes i remember reading about this a few months ago! great insight
Just waiting on the porno album
Money Trees is a single without being single. Its a deep cut so good, that you hear it in DJs play it at bars and clubs to this day in their sets. and plus most people have it in a playlist or fuck with it, resonating to any young millennial figuring out life. Its the comeup song, but has the nuance to show the struggle it took to get there, and the fragility of life vs getting money, but that is the thought of living the best life. Success. For good kids, and just in a party atmosphere it works for both. Like Swimming Pools, Poetic Justice, Madd City, and Bitch Kill my Vibe.
Couldn't have worded it better 👏
We prayed for times like these
Best Kendrick Lamar Album Ever. That Storytelling,Instrumentals,Transitions etc Are Amazing.
Kendrick A Legend 🐐
No TPAB is better
@@bp2000kwhy do you have to say outlandish things it’s neck and neck you don’t have to say one song clears an entire incredible body of work
@@bp2000k That's craazy, Sing About Me better than Mortal Man? Wesley's Theory? Alright, King Kunta, i, u, Blacker the Berry? NO WAY.
Art is subjective lets enjoy our perspectives
its better @@ph0uad
Swimming Pools was a big song at parties so he probably made it a single knowing people would care more about how it sounds than what he's saying.
I always find it funny when I hear this song at parties because of the irony
I was at a party and every time he said drank people would drink 😅. I said to myself " I don't think they're listening" lol
This came out when I was in high school and it's crazy to think that Swimming Pools was turned into a party anthem back then lol
Lmao same. God were those the days
really love the honesty on how molly reacts to these great albums, as well as never staying on the surface of the lyrics and always going deep! Great stuff guys!
I can’t wait for the TPAB reaction. Your wife’s ability to catch on to things so quickly is so impressive.
Glad you guys took this request, super excited to watch!
I was waiting for this reaction im so hyped
Hit-Boy who made the beat, and was Ye's beat protoge. He has 6 amazing current albums with Nas called Kings Disease, and the Magic series still going. Its an incredible runin hip hop still going.
yessir! nas is actually favorite rapper. will do illmatic at some point
Incredible reaction as always guys, GKMC is a album that even though i heard 100 times always feels like the first time watching a reaction, just like Illmatic i can never get enough.
If i could recommend a couple more albuns i suggest a trip to Atlanta with "Aquemini" by Outkast to introduce Molly to that area and after that JID modern classic "The Forever Story". A random pick would be "Sometimes i might be introvert" by Little Simz. The way y'all are having natural conversations about the albuns is very unique and a pleasure to watch, thank you!
much appreciated bro 🙏🏼 great recommendations!
Loved the point you made at the end. He could easily put out mindless hits and top the charts but instead he chose to create meaningful art. Especially with to pimp a buttetfly
Which are still hits
Would love to see y'all get to Kendricks other albums too, so much to dig into.
Whatever you do though I'll be keeping an eye on it because the videos are awesome. Just watched this and atrocity exhibition. Reactions like this are a winning formula. The vet introducing and taking a new listener on the journey.
Keep up the good work, and have fun!
this channel is the gift that keeps on giving
I love your videos, it's so chill and allows me to have a different pov on some albums I already know to re-discover them on a different angle and to discover some I didn't know and also learning things about the albums
I suggest to anyone to go listen the live version of "Money Trees" it's amazing, the song is even better, the work done on this version is really a masterpiece I still can't get over it still, i was lucky to see it live in Paris Accord Arena in October 2022 (you can see the replay on prime video and it was live on twitch), Kendrick live rearrangement are something. He is someone you have to see live even if you don't generally listen rap, just if love music and the show, he is delivring perfectly
I randomly discovered this channel yesterday and I love your reactions! both of you have great analytical skills of lyrics and your input is very insightful even for me as a massive fan of Kendrick's work, will keep watching for sure!
ngl i may have just found my new favorite reactors, you guys are so raw!! You definitely just earned a new subscriber
I am glad that TH-cam recommended me you guys channel! Great video! 👏
Money trees is the most popular song because it’s as close to a perfect hip hop song as you can get.
Loving this❤❤❤
One of my favourite albums of all time! 🔥🔥🔥🔥 I wish I could listen to it for the first time again😂
you two have such a great chemistry in terms of filming and comments and listening together idk
The breakdown of Good Kid is spot on. It sounds like the soundtrack to a detective noire. Very cinematic
never clicked on a video soo fast haha keep up the good work guys !!! also would love to see some juice wrld albums reactions.
I feel like i never comment on youtube posts but I really love this channel and the music you are showing your wife. I always love reactions to music but seeing a husband show his wife one of his hobbies/interests and seeing how into your interest and open she is to it all is awesome. really love the uploads keep them coming!
🙏🏼
My new favourite reaction channel
Jay rock is from Watts not from Compton and the Money trees is hot song because it feels old school and new school so everyone can really rock with it, the bridge is also fire 🔥
ah thanks for the clarification!
Thanks for another vid! Love the reactions but im really starting to like the comments and backround info you give after the songs too! Actually didnt know some stuff like gaga going to be on a song lol
I like the old intro with the record player and title: it makes it feel like a show.
haha might have to bring it back then!
W video. You guys should keep doing kendrick albums. Excited for a tpab reaction 😁
That film photographer line out the gate was too funny 🤣
first video im seeing of you guys. Love this album so here we go, only 2:00 mins in rn
i love your guys channel :)
keep reacting to ye please! 🏂
Money Trees is top 3 favourite songs of all time. I didn't like it that much when it originally came out but listened to it a lot around 2019 while smoking weed and I feel like i really dissected every small detail about and I truly appreciate it yet every now and again I'll hear something else or catch another punch line or double meaning and it's just the most beautiful piece of art man
great video, as always, thank you! here's a realistic explanation on why the Money Trees has so much more streams then other songs: it's Tiktok lmao
just look up the hook part where the female singer sings "No way" and you'll see ur answer
this is one of the most digestible songs + when something blows up on TT it's like a plague - everyone starts using the same song to stay "hip, cool and in touch"
I've seen different explanations below and they are definitely valid, but this phenomenon has happened not only with Money Trees, but with a ton of other songs that were not this popular before (can't provide examples off the top tbh)
thanks man! yeah we weren't questioning the actual quality of the song. you and many others said tiktok and that was the answer we were looking for. thanks for watching bro!
that female is anna wise 🙂
shes on many other kendrick's songs
Amazing interpretation. Really keen to see you guys review The Water, Mick Jenkins 🤌🏻
Money trees also has alot of streams because it kinda went viral on Tiktok a year or so ago with alot of edits using a version of money trees
Do section 80. Keisha's song might become her favourite song. 👍👍👍
She got a Radiohead shirt and she likes actual hip hop, she a keeper bro. Good for you my brother.
Radiohead t shirt, big w
you guys should do late registration, the whole orchestra thing is amazing imo
Fun fact, Kendrick wrote Dr Dre’s verse. That’s why you can hear a little Kendrick cadence in there
Yep and Ab-soul wrote Dre verse on the recipe
I love this Album, but Section 80 still my Fave. Y’all have to do that album.
Money trees has always been my fav off this album. Anna Wise and Jay Rock's features are all time.
Besides just being a good song, the reason “Money Trees” has such an unexpectedly high stream count is due to a TikTok trend that went viral around 1-2 years ago actually.
This whole album a movie 🔥 🔥
Can’t wait till yall do To Pimp A Butterfly and DAMN
I went to his last tour. When money trees came on the whole crowd went wild!!!
WE NEED MORE KENDRICK, MY FAVORITE ARTIST EVER
"Poetic Justice" hits different after the beef
Yall really do your homework. From the Money Trees sample to the Pharrell signature 4 Count intro. Love to see it lmao
Money Trees was massive on tiktok for that hook with (who i think it was) anna wise singing. Not sure how it became a massive hit on spotify, but it just did after those videos im pretty sure
Dude, you remind me of Toro y Moi. You guys should try a Lupe Album, The Cool, or Tetsuo and Youth. All of the best, really enjoy the videos.
haha she also says that!
I love this album! I also think you need to listen to Collect Calls by Kendrick as well. It was only release on the extended deluxe version of Good Kid M.A.A.D City and now can only be found on TH-cam. It’s a great alternative ending to this album!
The way she heard "Clams Casino" when "Swimming Pools" started playing is really real. Babydoll is solid. Smart, pretty, nice, and a great ear for music. Damn. Archie really did marry a certified Dime Piece. 👏🏿✊🏿
yall shoukd have a million subs, amazing
Love y’all’s reactions … can yall do NWTS next ?
Great video! I believe Money Trees has a lot of streams because it was trending for a while on TikTok.
ah i see! thanks for the info
We need more emotions of these peace of arts!)) You're still very nice personallyties
yess!! so Illmatic and TPAB next?
Dude ive heard this album like 4 times i even heard it today and ur breaking it down for her ao well im even learning new things. I didn't wvn know kendrick got jumped. Or thay he good kid is one if the better lyrical songs on the album. Or that sherane set him up this is dope
Good stuff guys
Idk if you guys end up doing the deluxe version of the album, but there are some bonus songs on that version that are fantastic
I honestly can’t believe how much your wife is able to pick up on different things in each song. It’s so impressive.
16:52 yes, streams got skyrocketed due to the song getting used a lot in tiktok, esp. the bridge/interlude part where Anna Wise sings.
Amazing album review
Good kid might be his greatest single damn he was spitting
i just came across your videos! keep up the good work! please do j cole discography especially 4 your eyes only
Please do every Kendrick album !
cant wait for the tpab reaction
One of my favourite albums
Track 10 is the longest but it’s always been my favorite. Kendrick the goat.
Yall gotta do Section 8.0 or Damn 2 of my other favorites Kendrick projects!!
Great video. Would have been cool if you had lyrics running at the same time you guys are listening if possible
Money Trees is a classic for my generation (28-32). It’s not the most sonically pleasing song on the album but that “ya bish” phrase became very popular after the song, and in general it was a good song for a college party setting
That album is a masterpiece
Still making my way through this! But thought I’d mention, the recognition of Clam Casino, only feels right we check out A$AP Rocky as well. They really experimented on those first few albums to revolution a new sound wave during the 2010s 36:04
Fire reaction 🔥
The biggest reason people miss in terms of Money Trees popularity is the Beach House sample, they caught a wave from this song and got even more popular, also leading Beach House listeners to Kendrick
The Anna Wise part of Money Trees was a big tiktok sound so that's why it has so many plays now
Favorite hip hop / rap album
BTW the reason why Money Trees has a Billiion plays is because of a recent TikTok trend which has a sped up version of the song 💀. It wasn't the most streamed song prior to that. iirc it was a tie between Poetic Justice and Bitch Don't Kill My Vibe.
Money Trees streams have gone up a lot recently due to a tiktok dance. For me its one of Kendricks best songs ever. All time hip hop classic
"intense" a good word to describe kendricks music
TikTok. That's the reason Money Trees blew back up. I really wish that I could say that it's because the song is amazing, but in all reality, it's because it was in a tiktok trend. It did cause a lot of people to rediscover the song and stream it
such a good album
This was really really nice, please do 'Tha Carter III' arguable best rap album.
Money Trees is one of the greatest hip hop tracks of the 2010s. Extremely popular for a good reason
Cant Wait for Illmatic.
Kendricks music makes you sit back and think about your life
We need So far gone, take care and NWTS next
She’s gonna love DAMN
love both of you. good hrmony
If you’ve ever seen Kendrick live, when “Money Trees” comes on the whole stadium goes nuts. Definitely not his most lyrical offer but catchiness and creating an “anthem” cannot be quantified by lyrics alone. Beat example is Tupac. His best/biggest songs, according to his constant listeners, are ones that never got radio play. Everybody sings California Love. But Toss It Up, Blasphemy, Hail Mary, Fuck The World, Ain’t No Fun, etc are considered his best songs by the elitist fans.
