OJ polarized LA and the nation all the rest are what has happened to our culture since Kendrick has been on break: Ye lost it on the culture 2020, Jussie risked it all to be in the culture, Kobe died and rocked the culture and his friend Nipsey died ( the last part is from Nipsey’s perspective) and Will is the newest of doing for the culture…

For every facial transition the verses fit the character and the situations they went through. His GENIOUS is so POWERFUL!!!!!!!

Kendrick too deep for y'all youngsters 😆

That wheel Smith Part: “In the land were hurt people hurt more people”. He deflected all the pain he’s dealing with on Chris rock

He sampled Marvin Gaye - I want you. Thats my favorite Marvin Gaye song. Hes rapping from each person's perspective. And explaining some of the positives and evils that exist in our culture.

*From Nipseys perspective* “And to my killer that sped up my demise, I forgive you. Just know your soul’s in question” LongLiveKingNip

Our culture is full of controversy. He's actually rapping from each of the perspectives of the faces. Great video!!! Love the words!

When he said "and though you did me gruesome, I was surely relieved, I completed my mission, wasn't ready to leave, but fulfilled my days my Creator was please " I CRIEEEED. I lost my little sister to a drunk driver in a car accident the day before mothers day. She was T-Boned pulling Into the same cemetery our grandmother (who raised us both from birth our whole lives) was buried..this shit hurts bro

He was showing how generalized what he was speaking on is. The images improve the ability see relevance in the lines. This is brilliant

basically what he is saying is how can we support the culture when it's killing you.

The human heart only has 4 chambers so to do a "5th Heart" he borrowed Nipsey's heart. "I woke up this morning to give you more heart" (the Nipsey part) This is the part where the song actually starts. Nipsey gave Kendrick his heart to be able to do successfully stick to the concept and add "The heart 5" because once again, the human heart only has 4 chambers and Kendrick already used his 4 chambers making The Heart 1-5. He used bits of those other guys hearts but mainly Nipsey's heart. Hope that wasn't too long. Steppers dropping in 5 days. 🏆

This is one of Kendrick's best in my opinion

Kendrick plantin seeds. Listen to the words. If you don't understand now you will later. 🙌

I can tell yall definitely didn't understand anything that was going on in the video lol

Technology got me thinkin I’m high… and I ain’t ever done no drugs in my life

He's telling a story about how everything about the culture isn't positive and can actually be deadly but we always say and do things ‘for the culture’ It's really genius when you catch all the lyrics then you'll see he talking about who he looks like at the time.

he was off empire not new edition

He was speaking in the perspective of each person. That's why in the beginning, it said.. I am. All of us. He is saying we need to fix the culture. "They" (the enemy, or the man) mess up every black role model we have too.

"New edition "😭😭😭🤣🤣🤣☠️☠️☠️🤦🏿‍♂️🤦🏿‍♂️🤦🏿‍♂️

The difference faces is showing how the culture has affected each one of there lives in some kind of fashion. All of the faces he presented have dealt with some kind of controversy in there lives.

this is on some legendary status....listen to the bars again...it's social commentary ....he's reflecting on the good, bad and the ugly parts of the culture. This is a summary on the state of the culture. His execution is flawless...HIGH ART 👑👑👑👑👑👑👑🌜

"I would just give him what he wants, me personally"🤣🤣 keepin it real

Good reaction young brothas. Dot was dropping gems. Y’all boys stay sturdy out here ✊🏾

yall dope asf. Your different personalities compliment each other really well! Bro on the right is the really extroverted one that really lifts up the energy. But yall each bring something different which is dope af to see keep it up my bruhs 🙏

Literally the last great rapper alive...there won't be another one unfortunately

Jussie smollett didn’t play in new edition lol tf.. he played in the show Empire with Terrence Howard.

When it comes to this drop You gotta put your mind to it🔥🔥 He off the hook and the hook is hooking us up 🔥🔥🔥🔥 Kendrick ❤️💯

Kendrick was talking in everyone's prospective and his tribute to NIP was beautiful 💪🏾💯💪🏾

I'm so glad i read all of these comments before wasting my time watching this 😂😂😂😂😂

He Explained in his lyrics about each deep face

In the Black culture, we sometimes idolize negative images. We see fortune and fame as a goal, no matter how it is achieved.

They too hype on the faces, they listening but ain’t hearing him. Every faces has context to it.

I'm late to the game but that last line still has me messed up; "The energy that carries on emits still." He's talking about the impact Emmett Till's funeral had on our people and the movement.

He was speaking from the perspective of every face he turned into..He turned into kanye and used the word bipolar..He turned into Will Smith and said "Hurt People Hurt People"..He was talking Will slapping Chris Rock..He was literally Nipsey on the end..He was Nip speaking from the afterlife..That's why he said I'M IN HEAVEN"...He mentioned Sam(Black Sam)Nips brother..This is a legendary Hip-Hop Classic!!!

this song is so deepfull, i really respect what Kendrick try to transmit to his people, to let them realize how the culture affects the community, the way we live. PD: Nice reaction, greetings from Chile

Yo y’all gotta go back and listen foreal forea cuz y’all missed a lot of this. The meanings in the faces is in the lyrics yall just didn’t catch em lol

That’s what I’m talking about when bruh say, what does he mean? that means lyricism will never go out of style when you contribute to thought and minds with something to say it makes us stop and think 🤔 something we don’t do enough of these days

I worry about that 'Nike' T shirt guy. He feels really Deep af , that's why his face is rock. -From South Korean.

No intro....just get straight to it!! I LOVE THAT!!!

The crazy thing Is.... when young brother said "Yo he spazzing.... just playing" Kendrick actually was spazzing. That's energy,, that's truth;, LIFE he inspired into you and your chakras. Stay blessed young Kings. I have some recommendations for your reaction videos. Tap In.

Forever subbed cause y’all mentioned how y’all on gods side too. ❤️ hell yea bro

🤔 Blue shirt and red shirt seem like they could really get down on a track!

This is incredible. Watching 4 dudes who literally have nothing to say about nothing....And no idea about what's going on. And I'm watching it... That's on me. How is this a thing 😖

Jussie Smollett is from “Empire”

Absolute class who gives no shit .....respect for saying it how you see it ....a little bit of this and a little bit of that ,love how music is evolving

I don't understand why yall don't understand the video concept🤦🏿‍♂️🤦🏿‍♂️

It's tough to catch the bars on a first listen tbh, don't even worry about it lol.

You have to listen to the bar Kendrick says after he changes faces.... the bar relates to each person. Shit is next level man.

He was rapping from everyone’s perspective from “the heart “

He's portraying all the famous black men that's been through controversy.

Hurt people hurt people line that’s him referring to will

The Nipsey verse when he said his creator,he was talking about Jesus Christ,which is are creator

When i saw this i gave him the crown man dude is a genius teacher man cant take away what he done for our culture

It’s what I have on my socials since the beginning, “what I see in the world is the greatness of music and art” this is a masterpiece more then just single but the video to compliment its amazing work. So much to love here, knowing the faces is the educational culture from Kendrick and will always be a master of his craft, I’m a fan since day 1❤️

Y'all ain't ready. Good reaction for it was though

Buddy in the white shirt like” you tweakin” y’all be not hit that pause button again 😂😂😂

the last part when hes talking aboutr creator getting pleased etc. HES TALKING IN NISPEY POV

That nip verse 🏁🏁🔥🔥🔥

On the WILL SMITH PART..... he say where HURT PEOPLE HURT MORE PEOPLE.... meaning WILL really hurting inside (addressing the Chris Rock slap)

yall used to that mumble rap crap That's why Kendrick is going over Your heads.

I like what yall doing bro. Keep up with the culture. I see yall reppin that ul

🔥🔥🔥

He mentions in the beginning how life is about perspective. Then he proceeds to rap from the perspective of all the different people. All of which encompass a culture.

Watch some of the channels especially with the older dudes they will enlighten you and open up a whole perspective that you missed and never thought of

The music and vocals samples Marvin Gaye "I want you."

He’s Portraying black icons that have had their downfalls and the various ways they had their downfalls

Kendrick belongs in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame

Funny thing is in today's hip hop, the joke freestyling could be a hit.

😂😂😂every face he put on he was rapping abt them online

How can you miss the bars??

It's okay if you missed bars.. afterall that's Kendrick 🙏🙏🙏

I genuinely appreciate you guys because you all are up next in regards to shifting the culture. At the very being it read “ I Am. All of us.” Oklama Go to the Bible and look for I Am. I salute y’all. 🤲🏾🙏🏾

13:20 new edition LMFAO its empire show

When i see you all reacting i know its gonna be a funny one but bro pls eminem and 2chaiz chloraseptic pls guys

1. He raps about the things we are accepting and calling culture. 2 He gave images of those who have been seen as negative to the image of the culture. 3 The last are the ones that died young and did great things for the culture and city of Los Angeles. 😎

From the outside in: he speaking on the culture because that’s the excuse! 💯

He’s speaking from the perspective of those faces in our culture.

Listen to the lyrics for each face that’s what the different faces represent for said lyrics , bipolar that’s Kanye and he mentioned people selling work late for work that’s other stuff related to Kanye

“Kick in the door with that draco Nobody move till I say so Tell that bitch stop trying to text or I'm letting one off now she sportin’ a halo” Yes, I added bars to that freestyle

Brandon tried to lock in, the other 3 didn’t let him. Every time the face changes, the verse is about that famous person. This is for everyone watching this, trying to understand.

Kendrick is tough to dissect first listen but most genius is.

The irony of the poster in the back with this song...

Just FYI, Ice-T isn’t just an actor. He started out as a rapper, former gang member and also created his own metal band called, BODY COUNT. Here’s his explanation of his love for hardcore/ metal. Here’s Body Counts Slayer cover: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/grZ4fa9zlsDJcZc.html. They also just won a Grammy for Body Count. ENJOY! 🤘🏻😎😎🎸🎸🥁

Them boys was all the way lost lol

The GOAT

Jussie Smollett was Jamal in Empire

For y'all to understand this video, go check Lost In Vegas

RIP Kobe & Nip

Each face was coming from their own perspective..

It’s about the downfalls and the success of the culture. 🙏

I like how he flipped Jay Zs line from 2001 "I do this for my culture, to let ‘em know What a n#$$@ look like when a nigga in a roadster."

Oj the range Rover (bronco) he was in, Kanye (bipolar), jussie (he lied and stage a hate crime), will Smith the land where we hurt people and more people ( meaning we hurt our own black on black crime, slapping Chris rock)

I just ca't get enough of this. omg

The heart Gods here

Message!

This was Kendricks feelings about how he got backlash for not supporting blm

11:10 lmfao you dapped him up like shortie from Scary MOvie

The last part is him speaking as Nipsey

I was told hes rapping from each of those black mens perspective as he changes faces.

That's Jesse Smollett from Empire not New Edition. 🤣
