Kendrick: “i got a bone to pick”
Dad: “uh oh”
😂😂😂
prolly the whitest thing kendrick has said love him
@@BBC-nationBBCwhat?
@@REXae86 saying " i have a bone to pick " sounds like a white thing to say
@BBC-nationBBC why I oughta
Sick ad lib
Turning the Tables has been my favourite CZcams channel as of late, but as a white dude myself, there’s something special about seeing the way you two interact with the music that is so defined by the black experience in America. There’s a cultural perspective and an understanding of the art that doesn’t resonate with someone like myself in the same way, and these videos provide a glimpse into that.
Love your work
Much appreciated
Now that you mention it, most reactors do actually lack an interpretation of this album. They focus more on the production. This is definitely refreshing.
YES! I LOVE TURNING THE TABLES.
copied their whole flow
@@lamename9148 nah this just the alternate universe version kinda like Flamin Hot Cheetos and Freezin Cold Cheetos
Fun fact that song U, I, and alright on this album actually saved my life. I tried to end it about 4 times when I was younger and this album came out right on time to save me. And that's why I will forever say Kendrick is the best rapper of all time.
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 the power of music
The power of music is KRAZY this album takes me bak i was 20 years old i jammed it but it went over my head but NOW its powerful in my life at 28 shit makes me shed a tear kuz life was so krazy then
Glad you’re still here🙏
I wish i got into Kendrick when i was passing through that shit, i got deep into Kendrick a few months ago and i think that kind of songs could help me back then. At least now when i hear it i can remember those moments and think more deeply about it
I feel you, I tried 7 times and hearing that "I love myself" screamed out loud with that beat just makes me say it too for once.
Wesley’s theory is a banger what a way to start an album
One of the best first songs, and probably my second favorite song on the album.
Crazy how this album has no 808s it’s all live bass
Wow
Thank the man Thundercat for that
i think the blacker the berry does just a lil bit
@@gc0rd645 nope, Terrace Martin confirmed this album was all live instruments
This album gives me D’angelo - voodoo vibes. I’m certain Kendrick was inspired by that for TPAB
Back in high school we once wrote an essay about TPAB in an official exam. I'm from South Africa by the way.
I’m in matric this year,I hope they bring it. I’d score 100%🤣🤣🤦🏿♂️
Do you have your essay? Would love to read it!
when your realtionship is gone and you listen to "U" while you alone and drunk its one of the most intense musicel experiences ever
Dangerous territory there my friend, be safe and take care of yourself
@@allenbell1427 in germany we do this often we dont get addicted to alcohol but sometimes your mind needs to get drunk and when you listen to tpab for 27th time while you're drunk and you need comfort it's perfect. Everybody knows this album is on of the best albums ever made it's like marvin Gaye's what's going on in hiphop we know that but in Germany nobody knows what's this album means.... people have to spend time with it but nowadays people don't do it anymore which is sad
U, stoop lights and solace are the holy trinity of the darkest shit you could hear in rap.
the part at the end ish makes me cry so much and makes me feel hopeless
You don't need to get drunk for it
Correction: TPAB did not win a pulitzer, DAMN. won the pulitzer ( i think TPAB should've won).
Edit: 🕊 🕊 🕊
I'm fine with DAMN winning also, but I think TPAB should have been the one too.
@@f0x845doesn’t matter, either way Kung Fu Kenny won maybe the greatest award for a rapper ever
Arguably the greatest hip-hop album of all time and one of the greatest albums of all time period 🙌🏼
Facts
Greatest? No
@@xl1355 that's why I said "arguably" because it can be a valid pick for some people
@@xl1355 it is the greatest tho, and it’s not close
10000000% top 5
Thundercat is one of the best musicians this side of the millennium, his bass work and production is insane
certain notes on them changes still gives me goosebumps. one of those tracks that get better and better over time. My dream collab would be thundercat and king krule. they would make some majestically weird shit lol
@@MarcusSims91 drunk is a phenomenal album
Potentially a top 5 of all time@@MarcusSims91
I think what pac meant by not seeing any loud mouth 30 year olds is the radical flame that is present in a lot of the youth and how that flame dies for alot of us when you become older and fall into a more “what can you do” “that’s just life” style of mindset. I think it’s more so a criticism on the abandonment/neglect of collectivism because when you have an individualist mindset the only reasonable conclusion to that radicalism is futitlity and subsequently neutering.
Real talk
Yes - I am often told: "you'll be less idéalistic when you're 30". I think it's got more than anything to do with it being less accepted to hold radical leftist view s as an adult, as well as having more years to be indoctrinated by neoliberal society and media
fr
Prove it
@@allenpomme8881 "I think" is their first words in that comment so I don't think they're interested in doing that.
I prefer that you're explaining it to him as you go just enough, most channels just throw them in and it's overwhelming
I did my best. This album is a lot
@@BridgingTheGapYT you did great 😇
I agree 100% he really understand how to play the reaction game and delivers just enough nuggets of knowledge to his dad for him to connect the dots
thats kinda how its meant to be listened tho
Exactly. You really have the formula down pat. No excessive stops and interruptions, and always relevant facts/backstory etc. just keep doing you !
Sorry for your loss bro💯🙏🏽 appreciate the content that you give us. my pops passed away back in 2020 due to cancer and this was one of his favorite albums I showed him , thanks for the dope video bro appreciate u guys💯💪🏽🔥🙏🏽
How old was he if I may ask? I hope ur well
Much luv brother
@@doriantietz2222 He was 60 yrs old. He fought for 5 years and a year and two months before he passed they gave him only a month to live but he fought for a year and two months. And I’m still hurt about it but I’m glad that he’s no longer suffering through it. I still have my days that are rough.
@@BridgingTheGapYT much love gee 💯
@@Mafia_Guap hope youre doin well, my friends mum passed in the same year from lung cancer, she was dope, watched anime and listened to hip hop.
I've been down a Kendrick rabbit hole lately, and I'm so glad I found this video. TPAB is my all-time favorite album and it's so great to see you two share music.
If Kendrick's new album manages to fulfill or exceed the expectations of the fanbase then he is the undisputed goat in my eyes. I don't think there has ever been an album that had expectations as high as this one.
🧢
@@Milkers777 any actual arguments there?
@@bmbm1 he likes his own comment. no need to stress over a troll.
@@soliloquies7541 Not even remotely stressed 😂
You niggas act like hip-hop only existed this century smfh
your dad is smart as hell, most people including me had no grasp on this on album, I had to listen to over and over to understand everything
"U", to me, is one of the greatest hip-hop songs of all time.
he’s so lucky hearing this for the first time
also rest in peace to your friend, i send my condolences to his family 🕊❤️
The greatest album to ever exist. Any genre. There’s no album that’s more FULL. It has everything you would want. Musicality, lyricism, PHENOMENAL themes. Obviously no skips. It’s to the point that you have to play the entire album straight because by playing just one song you’re doing yourself a disservice. I love it man
I don't know, man. I love that you love it, but Kendrick's voice grates on me almost as much as Eminem's and I think it pales in comparison to the likes of Illmatic and Only Built 4 Cuban Linx... A GREAT modern day hip-hop album, but that is also the caveat.
@@liquidgeorge Illmatic and Cuban Linz don’t have the depth of TPAB bro at all. Kendrick did all of that while still having a VERY meaningful message. All throughout.
@@liquidgeorge you need to get used to kendricks voice also yes illmatic is exceptionally great but it has nothing on the introspectiveness of TPAB
@@ari-441 Introspection is no guarantee of quality. Some of the greatest albums of all time are superficial.
@@liquidgeorge i know but i do think thats one of the many qualities of TPAB
The whole 3rd verse to Hood Politics was about the Control verse. From when he said “K Dot wassup I heard they opened up Pandora’s box, I’ll box em all in by a landslide”. He was referencing the fact that people were ready to start another east coast - west coast war. But he called it off by saying “nah homie we too sensitive, it’ll spill out to the streets”
Momma is about Africa yes. Thats why the kid tells him ‘tell your homies to come back home’. Its a message to tell African Americans to reconnect back with Africa
48:03 Pops had to sit back… 😂😂😂 that mane K.Dot so cold. But that transition from “U” to “Alright” is still one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever experienced, it’s bible like.
The yams part was wrong. It is from one of the greatest books ever written in African literature called things fall apart. It talks about west Africa and the arrival of Europeans. It also talks about the culture n how yams is a valuable commodity n made you wealthy. It's based on a character and struggles n success. Highly recommend reading for all but definitely AA.
yo i remember reading that in high school good book
thank you for introducing me to this book
Yup. Things Fall Apart by Chinua Ache, one of the greatest writers to ever exist. I'd recommend anyone to read more of his books. I'm Nigerian (he was also Nigerian) and his books still teach me so much about Nigeria's past (pre- and post-colonial). Chinua Achebe was lucky enough to have a connection with his grandfather who experienced an Africa before colonisers came to destroy our local cultures and religions.
Tpab is such a complex and multilayered art piece. It's more then just a rap album. It's more then just a simple concept or message. It's a conglomerate of everything Kendrick sees, thinks, and believes. It's a way of him getting it off his chest, and through metamorphosis, transform into something more.. and hopefully all of us as well.
One of the Absolute greatest Hip Hop LPs so far. Thought provoking, multiple flows and characters, productions hits your heart and Kendrick's Lyricism and concepts are so far ahead of their time that I still need to catch up.
Not just hip-hop. Music in general!
Rip to our brotha Hans🕊
On a lighter note thank y’all for this vid I’ve been waiting for this one. Keep up the great work guys
Rest up Hans 🕊 This reaction was hella meaningful, not just your Dad's fresh reaction but your passion for music really shining through. Didn't even know King Kunta was that deep til you explained it fr
"I wanna learn how to pimp a butterfly!" just found y'all some genuine conversation here keep it up
The Dissect podcast is incredible totally recommend it especially for this lyrically dense of an album, made me appreciate this album and many more on a whole new level
RIP HANS 🕊
To pimp a butterfly is the only album i could relate to the most. it makes me remember all the hard and horrible experiences in my life and some of the songs i use as therapy because i have really bad depression. And the albums teach me self love which honestly was the best thing ive ever learned because at the time i was in a very low point in my life fake friends, i had no confidence in myself and music was the only way to help me mentally and emotionally go through something and Kendrick Lamars the only artist i could really relate to and his musics helped me so much through these couple years.
The song u has to be one of the deepest songs of all time. Never seen Kendrick so vulnerable and emotional before listening to that track
I lost my father 3 years ago. And the connection you have with yours is the same I had with mine. So heartwarming and I’m happy I found this video. Bless y’all 🙌🏻🙏🏻
Bless
Bro you might as well do DAMN. now at this point. That way when Mr. Morale comes out yall will be completely caught up with his discography. Not only that, "TPAB" embodies everything that came from his mind. "DAMN." embodies everything that came from his heart (FEEL. and FEAR.). PLEASE do either DAMN. or Doggystyle next. Yall keep it up fam. 💪🏽
Honestly they might as well do untitled unmastered after DAMN too. That's the true catch up to his discography
@@1888. how specifically ? Mixtapes like Overly Dedicated was better (And so was C4).
@@brucerawlinsjr.2678 untitled unmastered is better than damn and overly dedicated.
@@bradleyl0488 do you have an explanation for your opinion or you just gonna treat it like a fact...?
@@bradleyl0488 untitled unmastered is just leftovers from TPAB...how can you put scraps over a full body of work ? DAMN. can be played backwards for a different meaning. C4 is a full album of Kendrick displaying a Lil Wayne cadence over C3 beats. I can even say his mixtape "Training Day" is better than untitled unmastered. A full album of him displaying pure BARS with Training Day skits weaved thru the project. It's way more cohesive and has a much clearer direction than untitled unmastered. Not to mention the journey he takes you on with the Training Day skits/theme.
To pimp a butterfly changed my life it was my first rap album and it hit me like no other I’ve listened to it 6 times in less than a year the message and everything is amazing and I cry everytime imo the best album ever for me and arguably the best hip hop album this album made Kendrick my fav rapper .
I know it's not a competition, but I feel like I listen to it, back to front, 6 times a month.
@@griffinluimeme bro…i listen to this shit 6 times a week 🥲
@@griffinluimeme nah you’re a 🐐
@@yung6gooch I listen to the songs everyday it’s too good😭 this album will never leave top 1.
So glad i found these videos, you got a new sub. Checking out your GKMC review next. Love to see you guys vibing with some of the tracks, especially your dads reaction to king kunta was awesome
🕊️🕊️🕊️
Rapsody album Lailas Wisdon was nominated for rap album of the year, it was appreciated both underground and mainstream. Definitely worth giving a listen to and features a lot big acts like Kendrick, Anderson paak and more
I'm late to this video, but I am so sorry for your loss, man. I know what it's like to lose friends as many of us do unfortunately. May he rest in peace and power. I love what y'all do and I know he's smiling down on you every day, and always will be.
🫶🏾💯
Can you please do 2pac’s 1995 classic album me against the world because he draws lyrical inspiration from his impending prison sentence, troubles with the police, and poverty then he intentionally tried to make the album more personal and reflective than his previous efforts.
The smile your dad gives us on this album makes me happy to see him enjoying Hip-Hop/rap the way it can connect to people.
I absolutely LOVE that you're knowledgeable and able to explain the intricacies of Kendrick Lamar's music to him
So glad you got to this album! I think it would be fun to watch dad listen to Madvillainy
Kendrick is an artist whose brilliance transcends rap and music. He delivers a profound social commentary, a thought-provoking trap. With unparalleled depth, he explores our very core, questioning our values, highlighting what it means to be human. In his musical tapestry, wordplay, innuendos and metaphors are constantly intertwined, revealing gems of philosophical beauty, an intellectual goldmine. Each album is a journey of discovery, forcing us to confront our truths and unveiling a different view. The Blacker The Berry and How Much A Dollar Really Cost are perfect examples in this album, with the former being my favourite, the one word end to the song is painfully true, as your dad called it “the elephant in the room”. For years I have listened almost exclusively to Kendrick’s songs, mesmerised by his talent and unable to settle for less, for it is impossible to find anyone close. He is a generational icon, unmatched and revered but also hated by some because the truths he spouts hurts those who refuse to accept the devastating consequences of the gangster lifestyle of our communities that is responsible for black on black deaths, drugs, hoes and broken families. Yet his music impacts beyond our boundaries, touching souls, sparking conversations (like Mother I Sober, Sing About Me, I Am Dying Of Thirst, The Heart Part 5, Auntie Diaries, Family Ties and so much more), while at the same time causing us to believe and take pride in our ancestry. His music is full of wisdom, a guiding voice, urging us to ponder what truly holds significance in our quest for happiness. His music is a testament to the power of art in shaping minds and souls, and by extension, our communities. Kendrick Lamar is a cultural, national and global treasure whose music will forever roll. Thank you guys for your reaction videos. It is a pleasure to see father and son communicating so freely, with knowledge being passed on and shared between generations. I applaud and envy your relationship and long may it continue. 👍🏿🙏🏿
I've listened to TPAB countless times, but your dad had perfect descriptions I had never thought of, like for free? sounding like a smoke filled jazz club 🤯
The song u just does something to my soul everything I hear it
First off, sorry for your loss man that shit isn’t easy. Just wanna say I love what you’re doing putting your dad onto great modern music. His reaction to The Blacker The Berry in particular was great, that last line hits hard man
I liked the way you also explained the song which made me hooked up in the video. good work man i hope u come up with more videos.
LOVE the reaction, you guys knocked It out of the park! ❤️🔥
I am so sorry to Hear about your loss, Rest In Peace Hans 🙏🏼 🕊️❤️
one of the best TPAB reactions i've seen! Loved that Dissect breakdown of this album, appreciate the hard work to make this reaction so great, sorry for your loss
This is the most heartwarming channel I’ve come across in a long time. I love you and your dad’s chemistry and they way you guys formulate opinions and dive into the story’s of albums instead of just listening and your dad is crazy smart for understanding this album on first listen it took me months to fully understand and appreciate it. Still the best album ever created
Sorry for your loss bro , CZcams wasn’t hitting until I found this channel, I listen to so much music and watching you two make my day. Can’t wait for the next one
I was waiting for this one ☝🏾 can’t wait to see your dad’s reaction to these walls that’s one of my favorite Kendrick tracks - also condolences to you you’re friends family and loved ones on your loss 🙏🏾

The greatest hip hop artist of our time dropping the greatest hip hop album of all time…is such an awesome thing to live through. Kendrick is 1 of 1.
late registration is way better my friend
@@malechi-gm2pzI like late registration more (Its my favorite album ever) but this is definitely top 5 in the 2010s
How do people not find this album Kendrick's best work. Not even he thinks so 😭
May he rest in Peace bro. Thanks for this content, really liked the wholesomeness, thanks
Let's go man. Been waiting for yall to drop a new vid. Also Rip your friend man. Sorry to hear that.
Sorry for your loss 🕊, hope his friends and family are doing alright, and glad you could still upload a video during all this. Peace to you guys
🕊🕊very sorry for you loss, love that you’re keeping his memory alive.🕊🕊 can’t wait to hear y’all react to his new album in May.
Rest up to your friend. Wishing you some peace, and appreciate you even uploading during this time.
Preciate you Tati
These reactions really help to bring more understanding to these albums. I recently watched the Tupac interview with Ed Gordon where he discussed people saying he's being pimped by the music industry. And Tupac responds, everybody gets pimped in some way but it's about how long you get pimped. Then he says something like (not word for word) "who is really getting pimped. It's these white kids that are buying the albums and they listen to the music. What I write in those albums those white kids are doing and they come home and say those things to their parents. Im writing their future. So who is really getting pimped?" I can see how this album correlates with that message now and how Kendrick was probably inspired by that interview.
Is that what’s meant about misusing your influence?
I just found your channel bro but I absolutely love everything y'all talked about in this and the way you presented it to your dad, this alone has me subscribed but I'm excited to check out more of your videos if any of them even get close to the quality of this reaction! RIP Hans, fly high brother 😔
Thoughts and good vibes for ya and your friend’s family
THANK YOU FOR THIS REACTION‼️‼️ KEEP UP THE GREAT CONTENT
Also i’m sorry for your loss🕊🙏🏼
Sorry for your loss man, thoughts are with you and everybody that loved Hans❤️
Sorry for your loss bro, sending prayers and hoping you both make it through
As well, "These Walls" can be the walls of the caccoon he is in during the stage of the album
Love and respect to your brother my dude. How much a dollar cost is one of my all time favorite songs. This specific album is what got me into modern rap, i had a physical and just played this on repeat. I love Kendricks genius man. Truly the greatest of our time
First and foremost, sorry for the loss of your friend! He'll be watching over you now. Also, TPAB is just one of the most unique and powerful albums I've ever heard. For sure a top 3-5 album of the 2010s for me. Great video!
What other albums from the 2010s would you put above TPAB? Personally, TPAB is my favorite album from the 2010s, so I’m curious what made you put it lower.
Tpab is like the illmatic of the 2010s in my opinion.
@@iraford5788 I agree
@@danielodio5801 you made me actually think about it along with its accolades and yeah you’re right. It is def my #1 of the 2010s.

Been waiting for this one. RIP to your brother, keep your head held high and keep pushing.
This was really fun. Thank you for sharing this experience with us.
Thanks for being here
Love seeing Pops smile being impressed by Kendrick. Watching these videos makes me remember what it was like hearing him for the first time
Loved the reaction, breakdown of each track down to your pops so he has a better understanding of what’s taking place in this album. New subscriber!
i love how you explained musicians behind the tracks first before went on listening. its a small thing but very important to understand this album
and i really love how you explained every tracks, really good explanation considering how complex the theme of the album.
This video and your approach to to pimp a butterfly is like no other on youtube ive watched a lot of to pimp a butterfly reactions and this one is my favorite good job to you and your dad and im sorry for your loss
I’ve never really listened to rap, here the radio basically plays the same pop songs every day but during Covid I wouldn’t leave my house often so I had to find my own type of music and create new playlists. Anyways, all that to say that I only discovered TPAB yesterday 🤦♀️ I know I know, and it was sooooo gooood. Just the mood and listening to the lyrics and understanding things I didn’t know. I literally baked cupcakes and brought them outside so they could cool down but I didn’t want squirrels to eat them so I babysat them and just listened to the whole album. Anyways, this was amazing. And I like your video it helps me understand all the little details I couldn’t.
💕
I’ll definitely be here for that new Kendrick album blind reaction
DAMN is what got me into reactions to start with so it’ll be full circle when he finally releases a new album
Been waiting for this one 🔥🔥

Hands down top 3 reaction channels. Second favorite when it comes to father, son reactions. Just being honest. But I try to watch every video. Can't miss one. About to watch the DAMN. reaction now that I finished this one. Can't wait for the new album!
Sorry for your loss, my man. Great vid, keep them up 💪
sound was on point!! great video as always
Definitely think I love institutionalized the most off this record, it plays with so many different perspectives in every verse and it reflects that musically with all the shifts in tone. it rocks me every time I listen to it

Love this channel...father/son connection is really dope...very inspirational...keep doing your thing!!
I discovered this channel a week or 2 ago and I've been waiting for you guys to listen to this album. It's some of the best music ever made, hip hop or otherwise.
