Man I hope your son appreciates how cool his parents are. Y'all have great chemistry, open minds and great taste in music. Basically exact opposites of my parents, oh well. I love my parents anyway but what y'all are doing is super cool
That line about “killed her only son because of insuficiente funds” definitely hits hard after what happened with George Floyd 3 years after this album dropped and how he was inevitably murdered because of a counterfeit bill.
Always nice to hear you guys review some Kendrick Lamar. I used to drive around to this song all the time. When the sirens come on it would get my chest pounding haha The "insufficient funds" is a reference to a MLK quote. "America has given the Negro people a bad check, marked with insufficient funds" soooo many double meanings to Kendricks lyrics
Fun fact: Kendrick Lamar and his wife attends christian counseling at a church. I know that’s not crazy lol but people saying he isn’t a Christian is so wild to me.
I admit I think this is an interesting song. The song has an interesting vibe as it switches tempo. The lyrics speak about what is going on now. The lyrics don't pull any punches, but says it straight. Shawn, you and your wife extract the meaning of the song really well. You both did a good job on your reaction. I applaud your honesty Shawn speaking on Christianity. That is high praise from Trey who says Kendrick Lamar is the artist of this century.
You guys really went in on this reaction. I can see that you're genuinely absorbing it all and taking it in, analyzing. It's really refreshing to see people react to hip-hop without some kind of bias, or dismissive attitude. You guys went in on this track like literature professors. Loved it!
Thanks we really appreciate that! We really try but as you said a lot of times 1st listen is tough especially with someone like Kendrick! Great great lyricst!
1st comment good person to review by the way I’m impressed with the depth observation of the lyrics and the meaning. You should listen n to his older stuff it’s sooo much deeper. Like overly dedicated
We appreciate it, while we can never walk in those shoes we truly try to the extent it is possible. So many like to live in fantasy land that everything is so much better when tragically it just simply isn't.
even deeper, this song is a satire, and it’s honest because we’re all microcosms of what this country really is, Kendrick knew he was being a hypocrite but does america know how much we’re hypocrites as a nation?
You're son's favorite rapper just ruined Drake(Canadian rapper) career and life, and the world is parading... Have you guys ever reacted to an epic rap battle?

Your son thinks Kendrick is the greatest artist of this century...he is correct. Smart guy
Great reaction btw
Thanks really appreciate the kind words. Stay safe!
He's pretty good, I wouldn't say greatest. Production wise its gotta be Kanye.
@@djlazer1 he definitely has the realest lyrics tho
First time I heard the last line "Americas reflection of me, thats what a mirror (ameri) does." it really hit me in the soul.
It is such a great line. Thanks Joe!
Idk how I never heard “a mirror”. I always just heard Ameri-does, tbf; havent fully heard this album in 3 years
That’s the key line. The whole album is a mirror of itself.
Man I hope your son appreciates how cool his parents are. Y'all have great chemistry, open minds and great taste in music. Basically exact opposites of my parents, oh well. I love my parents anyway but what y'all are doing is super cool
haha we really appreciate those kind words Alva! I think he knows how cool we are haha. Stay safe!

@@ReactionsToTheClassics y'all should react to For your eyes only by J. Cole. It's 8 min but sooo meaningful
I’ll catch a nigga leaving service if that’s all I got ( Sunday service- church ) that’s the toughest line of the track. Imo
Probably right on that one. Thanks Niles!
