I’d also strongly suggest opening the lyrics on genius. A lot of hip hop is metaphor and double entendre heavy and genius will explain anything you didn’t catch
Yousef AH not only that but sometimes RapGenius misinterprets the meanings as well, some of the stuff is broken down by people who didn't really grow up with hip hop culture or street influence and misconstrue some of the references
You missed the part he said “crime allowances” allowance mean to let something happen, but it also means a sum of money. He remembers people letting crime happen, and he remembers getting money from crime. Taste “bloods” is a reference to the bloods gang, who his family has had a history with. Funk is just an ad-lib he is using to make the song flow better. Most of the time Kendrick would be the last to use ad-libs, but for some reason he decided to use it more often this album. His “left stroke” refers to the pen strokes he made in the past (probably when creating the Heart part 4, which came out a couple weeks before this). His right stroke is his next project (which would later be known as Damn). Lil’ bitch is an ad-lib used commonly by big Sean, and many speculate that he was dissing him in this song. The religious connotation is that once you reach a level of popularity, many people may feel like a god, and many people may look at you’re like your a god. However you need to maintain a certain amount of humility toward your followers and those around you. Since grey poupon is known for being expensive, he is saying he can afford it. In the video he is also shown giving it to a far more ghetto lookin man. This is to show his tendency to give back to the place where he came from. Evian is an overpriced water, which most people wouldn’t get, which gives a similar sense of wealthiness. TED talk is a reference to the sharing of knowledge in his music.
It's interesting when he's in the sea of people with their head down and hes the only one looking up and talking. But when the chorus comes and he says "sit down, be humble", he got his own head down, like he's talking to himself, to be humble and remember he's just a person too, like everyone else around him.
To be honest, clicking on this video there was a bias, first time watching a metalhead react to rap. But I was surprised. You weren’t slandering it, you appreciated the visuals as well as the lyrics, your commentary was entertaining. Overall, this was a very entertaining video, I will go on after this with more of an open mind. Liked and Subbed!
didnt watch the video, just saw it and thought "oh great here comes the new ~metalhead reacts~ trend" after coming across RealDeadOne a few weeks back th-cam.com/video/UvLeWPzZLhw/w-d-xo.html check out theirs, im sure youll find the same enjoyment
I was inspired by Lost In Vegas. I enjoyed their prog metal reaction videos and said why don't I do the same but in reverse, a metalhead doing a rap reaction. I haven't seen RealDeadOne reaction videos because I didn't listen to rap before this series of videos so watching a reaction to a rap song would make no sense. I'll check them out.
I like the way you started the video, first time watching one of your videos and I already know in the first 4 seconds; your name, what type of music you like, and what you're doing in the video. Simple is good +1
Well done and interesting video, but in the future please don't only react to the top list tracks by recommended artists. I love both Kendrick and Joey, but Devastated and I would argue Humble too are just commercial cash grabs. I can understand that it's easy to just go for the most popular song of an artists repertoire, but that's also often the most pop and radio directed one. For starters, going with tracks like "Fear", "Duckworth"; "Sing about me, I'm dying of thirst", "How Much a dollar cost", "The Blacker the Berry" and "F*ck your ethnicity" (just to name a few) by Kendrick will yield you much more lyrical and conscious content, which you may find interesting. This is not meant as critique of you, simply constructive feedback. I'm looking forward to your videos, also I think you might like $uicideboy$, seeing as the're heavily influenced by metal (if I'm not mistaken they both made metal before going to hip-hop).
That's some fantastic insight! For that thoughtful comment, name a song and that will be the next rap reaction that I will do and I'll give you a shoutout in the video. (choose one that has a video pretty plz)
Forgot two important songs - "Suicidial Thoughts" by Notorious B.I.G and "u" by Kendrick Lamar, which is an absolute masterpiece. Also has a music video titled "God is Gangsta" (well, until 3:42 when another song comes on) which is equally amazing.
"Holy Moly get outta the way!" LMAOOOOO I'm gonna subscribe for that alone. Your reactions man 😂😂😂😂 For your next few videos: Nas - One Mic J. Cole - Lost Ones Bone Thugs N Harmony - Crossroads Also, someone said it below but the most popular songs from an artist are usually the most commercial ones. Not a big problem as you're an outside looking in so you wouldn't really know. But it'll all depend on what you're looking for. What I posted are some songs that have introspective lyrical content. If you want some of the fun mindless stuff or even gangsta rap, I could suggest more.
So cool. This is why Kendrick is the biggest thing in rap and only getting bigger, he's appealing to not just a variety of audiences, but also audiences that have historically been turned off to rap by upending they're long held preconceptions about the genre. Love Kendrick.
Dude... your reactions are great. You do a breakdown of the video and try to figure out what he's talking about. I'd definitely like to see more from you.
I love it when you read all the lyrics after listening to some of the song. it adds alot to your reaction amd i missed that on the "look at me" video. great work over all my dude
The hook on this song “BE HUMBLE , (lil bitch)BITCH SIT DOWN” that is a jab at another well know rapper named big Sean . Big Sean’s catch phase is Lil bitch who said that Kendrick was not creative and was very repetitive. This was a jab at him telling big Sean to sit down and keep his mouth close and be humble while also telling the mainstream and also telling them be humble.
You wouldn’t know how much it means if your not the black person lol. Race is the most inportant issue in the world, even though some might overlook it. White man created the social construct/ race doesn’t exist we all know but it affects everyones reality no matter whAt you say or do. It sucks but yeah/ you just wouldn’t understand
VeryCow No one should use the word if it causes trouble. Its imposible for everyone to be fine with whites saying that word. I'm black myself and don't choose to use it because the connotation of the word itself is terrible. There should be no reason to use it.
Dude you're hilarious. Keep up the good work and plz keep reacting to new rap. Edit: Just rewind the part where u wanna see the visuals again i'll appreciate it.
Glad to see noones talking about how he said nigga. Its just a word and you dont see anyone calling ppl racist for saying cracker. It all depends on context. Nice video Yousef. Luv ur content!!!
One of the lines you missed was when he said, I let my soul speak, you let the meds talk. That's a shot at all of the rappers who use and rap about lean and popping percs.
the camera movement is done with multiple high resolution cameras in certain positions which makes software able to stitch together the imagery. This way the video editor can zoom in and out to wherever he wants!
If you are referring to the shot where it follows his face, the camera is actually mounted on a robotic arm which moves extremely fast and precisely to preprogrammed locations
When Kendrick is on the bike and he’s using that 360 degree gyro camera he’s trying to depict the world revolving around him, I.e the opposite to being humble, so when someone pretends everything revolves around them
He recreated the grey poupon commercial in this video to express how he (and most minorities) can come from nothing, to eating grey poupon since it is generally considered to be a "more expensive" option that comes with a lot of class. in other words, "look at me, I made it."
The part where he hands him something through the car window 10:46 is meant to be sort of a dark joke. Usually you would think when black people are handing something through the window, it is a drug deal. But he took that ad and put a spin on it to portray the message that not all black people are drug dealers.
It’s one of my favorite songs from his latest LP. Primarily because he’s telling the other rappers to be humble, but how he’s going about is the opposite. Also if you want to check out the full album, he makes references to this song. For example, I don’t have to fake humble because you’re insecure.
it isnt just the fans that should sit down and be humble - Even though Kendrick has definitely made it and is in a good place He's just looking in the mirror and telling himself to just sit the fuck down and be humble- i'd say thats the whole joke, even though hes bragging and boasting throughout his verses his Chorus is just Him telling himself (and us) to just Be humble and act like we've got some sense instead of just "flexing" on everyone acting all holier than thou
oh by the by - I know PRIDE doesn't have a video clip to go with it but after a few listens it's probably my favorite track on the DAMN album- if you havent yet, check out the album in reverse order (so starting with Duckworth and ending with Blood)... anyway im going back to playing some video games and listening to QotSA
All the imagery in the music video has some sort of meaning with the song's theme. For example, the scene where his head is on fire, it's a visual metaphor towards him having a hot head and having to be humble, it all ties in to the album's themes as well because on the album he repeatedly talks about the dangers of being big and popular in the music industry and his personal fears and this song is him telling himself to be humble and not take anything for granted. But all the lyrics are about him being the best and having everything. It's honestly a pretty cool message.
"you can sit it on my taste bloods" is just another play on words. the "bloods" are a gang that is really well known and kendrick, being from compton, definitely has some old connections with them
Adel Yaser It doesn't have anything to do with age. I'm 14 and Kendricks lyricism is what captivates me most (among other artists). It just depends on how you listen to rap.
The line “I blew cool from AC, ayy” is a bit of a double entendre leading into the line about Obama. ACA is the affordable care act or “Obamacare” so it’s kind of a set up for a rags to riches type thing, saying he went from not having the money for healthcare to being in personal contact with the former president. And for the grey poupon part, grey poupon mustard has a really odd interesting place in rap lyrics since the 80’s. Vox did an analysis on it, it’s basically used as a status symbol, with those famous commercials showing people passing it from the back of limousines, and GP being one of the more expensive options when it comes to mustard. It’s also rich for word play and rhyme setups.
It may be a bit cringy but I like how interested this guy is in rap even tho he loves metal its cool to see variety of music preferences between people he's enjoying it
Where it starts from I blew cool, that line is actually double meaning. Kendrick is referring to an air conditioner, but mentioning Obama in the next line it’s establishing he’s referring to the Affordable Care Act aka Obamacare. And to add layers to it, Kendrick visited Obama in the Oval Office once.
Love how open you were to this man a lot of metal heads are really cynical about hip hop and you aren't so it's really cool to see that. Good luck to your channel and I subbed!
The AC in "AC, ayy" continued the line about air conditioning like you caught, but then if you think about it like the letters ACA (the real name of the Obamacare legislation), it leads into the Obama line coming next. You might enjoy reacting to Common's "I Used to Love H.E.R." for something a bit different (don't want to spoil) or Black Star's "Respiration" for some super literate lyrics that aren't too dense with hip-hop slang.
He is doing what LIV would want someone to do and open their minds to music that they would normally avoid. People may be using their style more for their reaction vids, but none of them have the chemistry and charisma Ryan and George have.
I’d also strongly suggest opening the lyrics on genius. A lot of hip hop is metaphor and double entendre heavy and genius will explain anything you didn’t catch
Ryan Evanson that's cheating! I want to keep it raw, fresh and fun.
I respect that
Yousef AH not only that but sometimes RapGenius misinterprets the meanings as well, some of the stuff is broken down by people who didn't really grow up with hip hop culture or street influence and misconstrue some of the references
Can you not say the N-word next time I would really appreciate that. Thanks in advance.
Okay but Genius is not always the most reliable source but I agree he should still check it out for the videos.
I like how he doesn’t enter the video hating, he actually is optimistic about listening to something new (rap) 👌🏽
Ghostface Killer open mind. Open heart. World would be a better place if we all listened a little more.
Ikr, many metal heads hate other genres
Altair Ibn La-Ahad And many hip hop heads hate other genres
You missed the part he said “crime allowances” allowance mean to let something happen, but it also means a sum of money. He remembers people letting crime happen, and he remembers getting money from crime.
Taste “bloods” is a reference to the bloods gang, who his family has had a history with.

Since grey poupon is known for being expensive, he is saying he can afford it. In the video he is also shown giving it to a far more ghetto lookin man. This is to show his tendency to give back to the place where he came from. Evian is an overpriced water, which most people wouldn’t get, which gives a similar sense of wealthiness.
TED talk is a reference to the sharing of knowledge in his music.
You are wise. Wiser than I.
Yousef AH
An bro, I’m just a big time kendrick fanboy.
Kyle Pickus I like you
Sapphire Fiend4 thanks 😅
Metis Hiphophead thanks. 😀
It's interesting when he's in the sea of people with their head down and hes the only one looking up and talking. But when the chorus comes and he says "sit down, be humble", he got his own head down, like he's talking to himself, to be humble and remember he's just a person too, like everyone else around him.
he said th n word!!
I love that you dont even hesitate to say nigga lmao
Facts. I was like hold on..
It's not offensive with no context. He was reading lyrics, not actually using it.
I mean, he was just reading the lyrics.
Creed Word! It wasn't directed to anyone.
he doesnt know the meaning behind it
To be honest, clicking on this video there was a bias, first time watching a metalhead react to rap. But I was surprised. You weren’t slandering it, you appreciated the visuals as well as the lyrics, your commentary was entertaining.

Abraham Campos let's all listen with an open mind and open heart.
didnt watch the video, just saw it and thought "oh great here comes the new ~metalhead reacts~ trend" after coming across RealDeadOne a few weeks back th-cam.com/video/UvLeWPzZLhw/w-d-xo.html check out theirs, im sure youll find the same enjoyment
Then you should watch the people he plagiarized this from
@RealDeadOne
I was inspired by Lost In Vegas. I enjoyed their prog metal reaction videos and said why don't I do the same but in reverse, a metalhead doing a rap reaction. I haven't seen RealDeadOne reaction videos because I didn't listen to rap before this series of videos so watching a reaction to a rap song would make no sense. I'll check them out.

Whole point is to have fun at a show and mosh with Ghostemane songs.
i was expecting M.A.A.D. City lol
Rafael Henrique video would’ve been 1 hour long lmao
It was already suggested, but...Nas - "I Gave You Power"
^^^ one of the top 3 rap songs ever created. the other 1 is also a Nas song... NY state of mind
Yes and also Common i used to love her
I love how you pause it and read the lyrics thats awsome
It's awesome seeing how amazed you are at all the creativity and craziness in this music video.
You need 2 do DNA by Kendrick Lamar now
Grey poupon has an interesting history with rap
I like the way you started the video, first time watching one of your videos and I already know in the first 4 seconds; your name, what type of music you like, and what you're doing in the video. Simple is good +1
I love the way you analyzed the VIDEO and the LYRICS. I can tell you’re a smart guy.
Well done and interesting video, but in the future please don't only react to the top list tracks by recommended artists.

I agree with this
I also agree with this.
I agree

I blew cool from AC, ay (ACA - Affordable Care Act)
Playing on the ACA (ay) segues into mentioning Obama.
I didn't even think of that. hmmmm
"Holy Moly get outta the way!" LMAOOOOO I'm gonna subscribe for that alone. Your reactions man 😂😂😂😂
For your next few videos:
Nas - One Mic
J. Cole - Lost Ones
Bone Thugs N Harmony - Crossroads
Also, someone said it below but the most popular songs from an artist are usually the most commercial ones. Not a big problem as you're an outside looking in so you wouldn't really know.

This dude is actually kinda cool. Cant lie
please do kendrick - sing about me
im dying of thirst*
RapiD those are 2 songs. Sing about me is a song, i'm dying of thirst is another one
João Maicon da Silva no buddy get your facts straight, it’s one song. “Sing about me, I’m dying of thirst”
RapiD yeah I know they are kinda together in the album but it's like part 1 and part 2 so they are really not the same song.
João Maicon da Silva : but they got released as one so it's one
i fkn love this channel. This video instantly hooked me. Love how detailed you break down the song.
He says ayy a lot to mock the current trend in rap where every "mumble rapper" has the same flow and the same adlibs.
You're too kind.
Great reaction love this guy
You’re like the nicest metalhead ever
Dude your positivity is amazing.
This was a pretty good reaction video. Your face at 8:31 had me crack in up lmao
Funk as the last word in those lines means that the talked about subject in the line is the type of/his funk.
It's also an ad-lib.
Dude... your reactions are great. You do a breakdown of the video and try to figure out what he's talking about. I'd definitely like to see more from you.
I love it when you read all the lyrics after listening to some of the song. it adds alot to your reaction amd i missed that on the "look at me" video.
great work over all my dude
Yeaaa I didn't have the right lyrics for Look At Me! Next video I'll be showing more lyrics and getting more analytical.
I completely love seeing the reaction of someone who understands music but isn't necessarily well versed in hip hop
The hook on this song “BE HUMBLE , (lil bitch)BITCH SIT DOWN” that is a jab at another well know rapper named big Sean . Big Sean’s catch phase is Lil bitch who said that Kendrick was not creative and was very repetitive. This was a jab at him telling big Sean to sit down and keep his mouth close and be humble while also telling the mainstream and also telling them be humble.
Ohhh that's deeper than what I thought!
I really loved your reviews anyways, but this one just gave you a fucking sympathetic boost. I fucking love your videos
I was surprised as hell when you said nigga with no thought about it being "bad" respect goes to you
allalaa the people who get mad at white people for saying the N word are usucure black people
Moist Man tru tru
You wouldn’t know how much it means if your not the black person lol.
Race is the most inportant issue in the world, even though some might overlook it.
White man created the social construct/ race doesn’t exist we all know but it affects everyones reality no matter whAt you say or do.
It sucks but yeah/ you just wouldn’t understand
VeryCow No one should use the word if it causes trouble. Its imposible for everyone to be fine with whites saying that word. I'm black myself and don't choose to use it because the connotation of the word itself is terrible. There should be no reason to use it.
It all depends on the context
This song is a satirical song. It's like a deep conscious parody of how most rap songs sound nowadays.
Had to subscribe bro this the coolest dude on earth😂 can’t tell me you didn’t smoked a blunt before this reaction
Jay Cypher riiight
Dude you're hilarious. Keep up the good work and plz keep reacting to new rap.
Edit: Just rewind the part where u wanna see the visuals again i'll appreciate it.
Raja Kashif will do good sir.
Glad to see noones talking about how he said nigga.
Its just a word and you dont see anyone calling ppl racist for saying cracker.
It all depends on context.
Nice video Yousef. Luv ur content!!!

This way the video editor can zoom in and out to wherever he wants!
If you are referring to the shot where it follows his face, the camera is actually mounted on a robotic arm which moves extremely fast and precisely to preprogrammed locations
I though it would be a video where he did nothing but judge but i’m impressed he kept an open mind. Definitely a new sub.
I like this guy thought get make fun of some rap song but he's really chill, love it better than people talking trash
When Kendrick is on the bike and he’s using that 360 degree gyro camera he’s trying to depict the world revolving around him, I.e the opposite to being humble, so when someone pretends everything revolves around them
I really enjoyed the video. It triggered my ASMR funny enough.
He recreated the grey poupon commercial in this video to express how he (and most minorities) can come from nothing, to eating grey poupon since it is generally considered to be a "more expensive" option that comes with a lot of class. in other words, "look at me, I made it."

But he took that ad and put a spin on it to portray the message that not all black people are drug dealers.
This is so cool.
Like a metalhead reacting to rap stuff.
Following from India bro
😂I'm Just Dying off your reaction your funny😭
They used a fish eye lens and shots from up downward, pretty unique
It’s one of my favorite songs from his latest LP. Primarily because he’s telling the other rappers to be humble, but how he’s going about is the opposite. Also if you want to check out the full album, he makes references to this song. For example, I don’t have to fake humble because you’re insecure.
Bro has no chill😂😂
react to Kendrick Lamar - DNA., ELEMENT. & LOYALTY., his videos are crazy
Grey Poupon has become a symbol for high status and wealth, because of that commercial you alluded to.
it isnt just the fans that should sit down and be humble - Even though Kendrick has definitely made it and is in a good place He's just looking in the mirror and telling himself to just sit the fuck down and be humble- i'd say thats the whole joke, even though hes bragging and boasting throughout his verses his Chorus is just Him telling himself (and us) to just Be humble and act like we've got some sense instead of just "flexing" on everyone acting all holier than thou
Nick nice perspective and interpretation. I like you.
Yousef AH thanks ^ ^ here, have my sub - hope to see more
oh by the by - I know PRIDE doesn't have a video clip to go with it but after a few listens it's probably my favorite track on the DAMN album- if you havent yet, check out the album in reverse order (so starting with Duckworth and ending with Blood)... anyway im going back to playing some video games and listening to QotSA
All the imagery in the music video has some sort of meaning with the song's theme. For example, the scene where his head is on fire, it's a visual metaphor towards him having a hot head and having to be humble, it all ties in to the album's themes as well because on the album he repeatedly talks about the dangers of being big and popular in the music industry and his personal fears and this song is him telling himself to be humble and not take anything for granted. But all the lyrics are about him being the best and having everything. It's honestly a pretty cool message.
The ayy or funk is an adlib and is used to bring a little more hype to the track
Sebastian Fess that's what I got out of it, too.
This reaction is hilarious! The best one so far.
"Bro said finess a nigga" lmao I love u for that
I'm a rap n metal fan. My 2 fav groups of all time, NWA & Slayer!!
"you can sit it on my taste bloods" is just another play on words. the "bloods" are a gang that is really well known and kendrick, being from compton, definitely has some old connections with them
you made this channel become cool bro, keep react other videos about that music bro.. :D
OMG I love your reaction to this!
kendrick lamar - element.
How he finna say nigga so casually
cause he didn't "say it"...he read a lyric verbatim. that is all.
subscribed for knowing the poupon commercial reference + the correction from acronym to initialism
Hey YOUSEF! I have a feeling ur gona give those other guys a run 4 their $! (U know who I'm talkin about 😉)
Jon Samuels I have no idea who you're taking about or what you mean but I believe you because you believe in me.
if you're reffering to the fact that he stops the video a thousand times to make it longer and doesnt even let the track play out then you'd be right
J yes, they're the people I was referring to. I like them also but I think Yousef's personality is much more addictive 2 watch
Yousef AH indeed I do believe in you. Loving the videos!
The funk never dies
6:40 is such an accurate depiction of what happens when you find some legit ecstasy.
Watch the weigh down video from the amity affliction, they used flammable jelly and were actually on fire.
Kendrick lamar - DNA | Kendrick lamar - Element
Do Most youngsters actualy liaen to the words, or its mostly good rhythm and music?
Adel Yaser It doesn't have anything to do with age. I'm 14 and Kendricks lyricism is what captivates me most (among other artists). It just depends on how you listen to rap.
I listen more to.the good rythm and etc. But its depends on how im feeling
Why not both
He just wanted to say nigga💀💀
rap is the new rock
The line “I blew cool from AC, ayy” is a bit of a double entendre leading into the line about Obama. ACA is the affordable care act or “Obamacare” so it’s kind of a set up for a rags to riches type thing, saying he went from not having the money for healthcare to being in personal contact with the former president.

It’s also rich for word play and rhyme setups.
amazing reaction video man. please do more Kendrick, all of his videos on his DAMN. album are cinematic like that.
$uicideboy$ I want to believe
Immortal technique dancing with the devil !!!!
It'syaboi Mcfly I did that one yesterday! Check it out th-cam.com/video/hQfu6VMaWUY/w-d-xo.html
go on rap genius if you want an explanation to the lyrics.
Riff raff- trappin like a fool
It may be a bit cringy but I like how interested this guy is in rap even tho he loves metal its cool to see variety of music preferences between people he's enjoying it
“Fonk” is a catch phrase used in Compton by the Pirus.
Oh interesting.
Where it starts from I blew cool, that line is actually double meaning. Kendrick is referring to an air conditioner, but mentioning Obama in the next line it’s establishing he’s referring to the Affordable Care Act aka Obamacare. And to add layers to it, Kendrick visited Obama in the Oval Office once.
Bro your reactions are dope, keep it up!
Joyner Lucas Champaign for Everybody. Such a meaningful song💯
Love how open you were to this man a lot of metal heads are really cynical about hip hop and you aren't so it's really cool to see that. Good luck to your channel and I subbed!
Listen. Open heart. Open mind.
A few more rap reactions and he turns into a raphead
Subbed. Like your way of analysing not just reacting
Where did Kendrick take that shot of him on the bicycle? I know I've seen it someplace...
He says funk after everything because he plays funk am to pm and vice versa. By funk he means everything in the bars after, funk.
Run the Jewels- Lie,Cheat,Steal. I am a big metal head but I really like the aggressive lyrics and fire beats by these guys
This was fun!
React to nas- I gave you power
Deanz Beber I second this.
7:25
It's not effects suprisingly, He did it in a live show aswell
