The line, "because if Anthony killed Ducky, Top dawg could be servin life, while I grew up whitout a father and die in a gunfight (BANG)" gives me shivers everytime I hear it
really enjoyed this video, production quality is on point! duckworth's narrative and production makes it my favorite track on the album, so i'm making my own essay on how I believe its the most important track on Damn. Cant wait to see how your channel grows into the new year!
I’ve listened to Kendrick for forever now and I never looked into his songs, until I was doing homework today and started feeling the album Damn. on a personal level it felt like it was speaking to my soul, so I wanted to know what he was talking about and found this explanation everything makes sense now ik it’s silly but this album brings tears to my eyes dawg.
@@illa.5767 a title can have multiple titles before the one we see. Both "What happens on earth stays on earth" and "Life is like a box of chicken" were both titles before he settled on DAMN.
This video was waay more than I was expecting, you went beyond the song itself, Duckworth is really a genius masterpiece. Edit: About the real sequence of songs in the album history let's just remember the line "we gon put it on reverse" in Duckworth's beginning, for me it's quite interesting
It's incredible how on DUCKWORTH., the gunshot after he says "Because if Anthony killed Ducky Top Dawg could be serving life while i grew up without a father and die in a gunfight" has different meanings, from front to back, it's Kendrick getting shot after he says that line, and in back to front, while Kendrick is telling the story, he gets interrupted by it, and the shot is directed at Ducky, and then the whole album plays in the context of Kendrick living his life fatherless down to his death in BLOOD. instead of redemption up to how he feels in GOD.
7k views? Damn even for the great Animation you'd deserve 100x the current views! The content so well researched and told! Great video Kendrick is the greatest not just of our generation but of all! Kendrick is just amazing. Tho gkmc is my fav album :)
Duckworth is probably the song I wish I could could hear for the very first time again and again. I don't care if the story is apocryphal or embellished (and I don't get the impression it is), the kicker at the end blew my mind
LIFE IS LIKE A BOX OF CHICKEN was the title for the song, not the album. The albums name before being changed to DAMN was WHAT HAPPENS ON EARTH STAYS ON EARTH.
I think the insane part of this is that at the beginning of DUCKWORTH, it says “we gon put it in reverse.” Also says “…grow up without a father and die in a gun fight…” was “dying in a gun fight” supposed to be about him dying in the song BLOOD? I’m gonna have to listen to DAMN in reverse now…
DAMN. is the greatest story i have ever witnessed. ever. not just in music. it has so much meaning. i could actually go on for hours about how much heart and how meticulously crafted each lyric is. every song has multiple meanings. and the best part? the album tells the story of opposites, depending on if you listen to the normal track order, or the reverse. how stark a difference in upbringing and the imposition of morals can have on a person. AND there is some music videos WHICH MAKE THIS EVEN MORE CLEAR AND AMAZING TO UNDERSTAND AS YOU CONNECT THE PIECES. his struggle with religion, fame, fear, pain, and how he feels DAMN.ed. Is it wickedness? Is it weakness? You decide.
What is the meaning behind reverse the manifest and good karma ? I dont understand that part because it was for good karma and destiny and fate that led them to achieve heights
the craziest part about this song is we’re supposed to treat top dog like he’s a good person even tho he’s furthering the drug epidemic, steals, and murders people :/
So hyped for your future videos! Take your time to make more of those perfect videos! We need this on youtube :D love how you not overuse the loved wiggle expression^^ i guess you're using ae?^^
Idk how people can say that someone like drake is better when kendrick makes his songs he makes tham actually interesting and I like drake but he is NOT top 10 of all time
4:23 that’s not true, it was going to be called whatever happens on earth stays on earth but he changed it to damn cause it was too long, Kendrick said that himself
I'm so grateful to live at the time that a artist like Kendrick is alive.
Holy meat eating… zip em up lil bro

just reading it gives me shivers
Anthony*
@@Chandiwila999🤓
Genuinly have tears everytime that line pops up, the song is powerful af. extremely well made.

That intro got me subscribed right away, great video. More people need to appreciate Kendrick
Agreed, and thank you!
as soon as i read the title i thought 'duckworth'
I thought GKMC but fair enough
@@bluedye4068 nah everyone knows his best storytelling song is DUCKWORTH. and 99% of people will tell you that.
@ThundererR64T storytelling GKMC overall but for one song easily Duckworth
@@ThundererR64TBut honestly I also think "How Much A Dollar Cost" is also great.
Who else found this channel from an ad on Instagram?
It’s hard for a channel to get lots of attention but Ik for a fact these guys are going somewhere
Sad to see they’re still pretty small
Woooow, you are sooo understated, bro!! Keep doing what ur doing, though. This is was great!!!
Will do! Appreciate it!

DAMN. was actually gunna be Life is Like a Box Of Chicken?
Yep, as crazy as that sounds
@@TofuMediaOfficial nope ur wrong it was actually “What happens on earth stays on earth” do more research next time.
@@illa.5767 if u did all your research make your own video or shutup and enjoy the vid
@@Aj-bh6zy lol u sound like one of my bitches

This is one of the most beautiful, well put together videos I’ve ever seen
If K-Dot had been born in a more wealthy family, he’s the kid who’d do the art to “follow their passion”.
Your content is AMAZING and that intro was just perfect

You are criminally underrated my friend
It’s crazy how people scan make a 14 minute or even longer video about just one song which shows how lyrically talented Kendrick is
We decide if Kdot dies in DAMN. Our choices and emotions will lead us to damnation. So u decide...wickedness or weakness
That ending to the video is genius ❤
Brilliant video on my favourite Kendrick album and song, got the vinyl of damn in reverse and always put it on when I need to chill out
This channel
Is criminally underrated wtf
Can't believe this has so little attention, really good video essay and breakdown of Duckworth and Kendrick himself.
Crazy how Kendrick tweeted @ 9th for just one beat. 7 years later he puts 3 beats on one song and creates a masterpiece 🔥🔥
Yo this channel is gonna blow up I can feel it
Duckworth is probably the song I wish I could could hear for the very first time again and again. I don't care if the story is apocryphal or embellished (and I don't get the impression it is), the kicker at the end blew my mind
man i wish the music was louder i can almost hear the commentary
When I first truly listened to this song and I put the pieces together at the end my jaw dropped
The production level of this video is top notch!
Happy that I found this channel
Damn. Hahaha, get it 😅😅
Great video man. What makes it better is that Kendrick is my favorite musician #GOAT
I like how u mentioned Walk Like A Man by Murs.. 9th doesn’t even make the connection most of the time when he brings up Duckworth
His parents went from southside chicago to compton like wtf
Kendrick is one of the most talented artists I've ever had the pleasure of listening to.
Kendrick kanar is William Shakespeare on crack
GOATED for this
Kendrick is goated. If you like story telling you should do some videos on The Incredible True Story by Logic… another masterpiece of stories
Insane breakdown ❤
great video
Exactly the song I was hoping this video would be about
this is a masterpiece of a video
this video quality is crazy
Just earned yourself a new subscriber, good shit bro!
so happy this isnt another breakdown of samidot
this video deserves more views
i know its 2 years old but you should pick up longform content along with your shorts to gain some real traction! subbed!
Kendrick ain't putting out albums anymore... It's like each project's a movie... This reminds me of Biggies way of storytelling.. Vividness
Subbed mbro
Appreciate it!
How do you guys not have millions of subs
underrated as hell 🔥🔥
Fear is my favorite song on Damn
Dope song with amazing lyrics
Every single kendrick song is my fav song by Kendrick :D
Wonderful.
My favorite song of all time
This man is just idk even know what to say but....will there ever be another kendrick lamar
Never!!
No, but there will be me. Wipe your tears w mine
LIFE IS LIKE A BOX OF CHICKEN was the title for the song, not the album. The albums name before being changed to DAMN was WHAT HAPPENS ON EARTH STAYS ON EARTH.
The beat used through out the video was later used in the song Ambience by Nia Sultana
Amazing video
I think the insane part of this is that at the beginning of DUCKWORTH, it says “we gon put it in reverse.” Also says “…grow up without a father and die in a gun fight…” was “dying in a gun fight” supposed to be about him dying in the song BLOOD? I’m gonna have to listen to DAMN in reverse now…
I have a song to that beat you used in the intro.
DAMN. is the greatest story i have ever witnessed. ever. not just in music. it has so much meaning. i could actually go on for hours about how much heart and how meticulously crafted each lyric is. every song has multiple meanings. and the best part? the album tells the story of opposites, depending on if you listen to the normal track order, or the reverse. how stark a difference in upbringing and the imposition of morals can have on a person.

Is it wickedness?
Is it weakness?
You decide.
wow just wow what an amzing artist
I'm totally mind blown 😮
Big up thatkidgoran with the max miller type beat 🔥
4:20 DAMN. was originally called “What Happens on Earth Stays on Earth”. Just needed to clear that up.
Idk wbu but my favorite line would be "give e'm a soul so they could make they own choices and live with it".
Here before 100k subs
Duckworth is my favorite Kendrick song.
Well made
You forgot the links in the description
dope video, using it to educate my ignorant friend who listens to coldplay!
Can you make the background music louder next time I think I can hear a voice
can you turn up the music a bit i can still hear you
A++
What is the meaning behind reverse the manifest and good karma ? I dont understand that part because it was for good karma and destiny and fate that led them to achieve heights
severely underrated
Free chicken and 2 extra biscuits do actually some how fit very well in the song. Cadence is insane.
Those instrumentals are incredible. Please share 😅
why is the background music sooooo loud i literally can’t hear what you’re saying
This is the top five Kendrick smokin on
Could you just create a patreon? You truly deserve money for those videos!
3:03 what did he say
🤫
1:09 I think he said God. Was his favorite song
Thanks to the background music. I can barely hear you
the craziest part about this song is we’re supposed to treat top dog like he’s a good person even tho he’s furthering the drug epidemic, steals, and murders people :/
this would be the best storytelling song but tbap exists
So hyped for your future videos! Take your time to make more of those perfect videos! We need this on youtube :D love how you not overuse the loved wiggle expression^^ i guess you're using ae?^^
Fav Track: FEAR, & I think it’s Duckworth to Blood
Idk how people can say that someone like drake is better when kendrick makes his songs he makes tham actually interesting and I like drake but he is NOT top 10 of all time
But he didn’t kill the workers who didn’t give him free biscuits 😂
peak music
4:23 that’s not true, it was going to be called whatever happens on earth stays on earth but he changed it to damn cause it was too long, Kendrick said that himself
Y'all wanna hear someone rap on the first instrumental? Not Sorry - Cal Scruby 🔥
Kanye called himself the Mozart of this generation but we all know who will be remembered as the BACH and Beethoven
