“He looks like a really nice guy”, yeah well listen to the 4 songs he dropped over the weekend😂😂😂

He got 17 Grammys 1 Pulitzer , 29 BET … GOAT

He wore black contacts as an tribute to Method Man because he performed this on the anniversary of Method Man's debut solo album where he wore similar contacts on the album cover. And his hair is messy like that as a tribute Ol Dirty Bastard

Listen to the whole album, it’s an emotional roller coaster

The half undone hair, the Isley sample, the black contacts, the church shoes. This is fantastic.

The album this song is on is known for having little samples. The best produced album ive ever heard has some of the best jazz musicians of the modern era all over it.

TPAB is known for having very little sampling and much more original instrumentation. There’s only a few in the album

Kendrick been killing all his grammy performances since 2014 with Coldplay

Kendrick always says he's a child of the 70's. And it reflects in most of his music. He is very much influenced by soul and funk music 🎶🎶. I love that about him. His use of samples encourages people to seek out the original songs. Thus keeping those old-school classics alive 😊

Fun fact: Kendrick wore black eye contacts that night as a tribute to the 20th anniversary of Method Man's album Tical. His hair and eye contacts in this performance were taken from a music video from one of the songs on the album.

Isley brothers “who’s that lady” flip

Enoch is also the name of his son

18:36 "I wonder if its a Compton thing?" is a valid question, but the sincerity still made me chuckle 😂

I think this my favorite live performance from SNL

one of my favorite kendrick performances, great reaction 🙌🏾🇧🇷🔥

The dance is Compton legacy

outkast is dope they work with a group of artists called the Dungeon Family that samples and plays live instruments

hiphop = sampling. Without it, it wouldn't exist. I do kinda understand ones view on sampling when not really familiar with hiphop, but once you understand, you understand. Hiphop started in the bronx where dj's would extend drumbreaks and people started eventually rhyming over it. The origin of hiphop is sampling and it always has been relevant in hiphop. Of course nowadays there are also a lot of wack samples, but these are mainly samples of hits that already exist just to have their own song also do well to earn more money. I'd say that that is the only downside of sampling.

Keep reviewing Kendrick Lamar songs and live performances please

This is one of the lowest listened to song on the record on Spotify. I don’t get it. It’s possibly Top 3 and this live performance is THE greatest SNL performance. I’ll fight anyone over that claim.

in my opinion the best live performance on any late night show was when de la soul went on fallon a couple months ago. Kind of a tribute to a member of the group who had passed away earlier this year. Literally gives me chill's to hear that beat done with live instruments. Rip dave. Rip j dilla.

It is an Isley brothers sample. That Lady. It's just played live. Lol

kdot is the best

Fellas don't know if you ever got to it, but you definitely need to check out The Isley Brothers. They are a legendary r&b and soul band.

If you like live instrumentation and bands within hiphop you should do a review of the legendary roots crew.

That’s a Isley brothers sample

The problem with the "who's better" argument is time. Had Biggie KNOWN that the track was going to Em and knowing how lyrically technical Em is; would he have written the same?

andre 3000 plays the flute

He has a song called Duckworth you should check it out too

Believe it or not there is actually another rapper already named Duckwrth lmao

Funny part about the guy saying "I would use that part of my name as a rap name -- Duckworth" is that there is already a rapper named Duckwrth (w/o the O) lol. He's also really really dope to listen to as a rapper who leans more towards contemporary eclectic sounds. Highly recommend his newest album "Chrome Bull."

LISTEN TO WELSEYS THEORY! It is on the same album as this song but it is * in my opinion* kendricks best song. The production on it is absolutely mental. would looooveeee for you to react to it!

Since y’all was clowning the name, actually Listen to DUCKWORTH. 😂 Best storytelling song of all time, read the lyrics

If you’re talking about the introduction of vulnerability in hip hop, the major shift was Kanye West. When he dropped his debut album (the College Dropout) in 2004, it was a big counterpoint to the gangster/bravado/macho image that dominated mainstream hip hop. He released his fourth album (808s & Heartbreak) in 2008, and that is essentially the blueprint for the direction rap took in the 2010s, particularly with respect to sound, vocal performance and the vulnerability of the subject matters.

The Main Sample On This Track Is From The Isley Brothers... Oh Yeah & He Just Ran Circles Around Drake... Kendrick Is A Genius! Drake Could Never!!

You guys should react to the untitled 8 live version

I think what you're tracking is conscious rap. Down the rabbit hole you go. Weeeeeeeee lol

U guys pls do more Kendrick lamar live videos. There's plenty more at the Ellen show, Jimmy Fallon show and the Grammys 2015 or 2016

Is it Dumb and Dumber?😂 Sorry. 'There's James Brown in this, there's Earth Wind and Fire in this'??? Never heard of Isley Brothers?

I think you got "The Roots" mixed up with a Tribe Called Quest.

this is huge george clinton and thundercat they produced almost everything. Thundercat is like Midas for music everything he touches turns to gold. There are a lot of samples on TPAB but real music and original production dominates the whole thing. Check it out.

18:07 welp... some hip hop artists aren't writing their own stuff. That's the blurring line. And boy is it more blurred now than ever. Before AI, star rappers were secretly using ghostwriters and... probably more common in rap than poetry because of the financial returns for dozens of people including the artist, labels, producers, etc... so there's a tone of inauthentic crap out there in hiphop that could never pass as poetry even if the the artist claiming it actually wrote it. That line is definitely ever-blurring.

Isley Brothers❤❤❤❤

There's already a rapper named Duckwrth, so probably won't use that.

Try Isley Brothers

13:55 is straight southern baptist church

There’s already a rapper named Duckwrth lol

guy on right sounds like nmplol

Tooo much focus on the instruments and shallow observations from guy on the left. Like, I understand the fascination, but would’ve been nice to know what thoughts were about the actual lyrics and overall vibes. Some channels fall way too far into technicality and it becomes detached and kind of boring… like watching an a.i describe what having a soul is like.

Please react to Kendrick's Untitled 8 performance.....pleaseeeee🙏🏾

wtf this guy just took a blinkie and didnt cough ... 4:30
