I'm beyond sick of comments stating hotline bling has more views than Kendrick's video. I'm pretty sure more people think soda tastes better than water, but that doesn't make it good for you.
Pretty deep
+Reginold Combs most people only watch hotline bling for his ridiculous dance moves lmao
+Nicholas Lim ZJ lmaoo
This is the realist thing I've ever read
That's so true holy shit.
Kendrick is so unserious it's hilarious. Until it's time to dismantle a MF whole existence in 4 songs 😂
& funny enough he was extremely charismatic on all his diss records 😂

There's a music video in this video called "hit the quan"

#truth
yeah its just a talent show skit........its not a video?
I’ve watched this video many times and I’m just finally understanding the metaphor of “these walls” representing both the walls of a woman and the walls that society has cast around Kendrick as a black artist. Every line essentially has two meanings with this in mind. And the scene with Terry Crews is particularly metaphorical. “The walls” here plays on the audience’s expectation of Crews planning to commit a potentially violent act for revenge, but ultimately ends up with Crews and Lamar entertaining an audience with a heavily commercialized song (marginalized black art). These are the walls, both the audience’s expectation of a violent act, and the urge to push other black performers aside to perform a commercialized and marginalized form of black art, which is also to the audience’s unconsciously biased expectations. Kendrick’s verses are ultimately centered around these walls that he has to navigate in his life. The line “Every time I come around, demolition might crush” encapsulates how he feels at his current stage in life, as both a man sexually, and as an artist in breaking the walls that society has cast around him. Man I’m obsessed with this…
Excellent assessment
Right on pimpin
I wish my brain could comprehend like that..makes perfect sense..thanks
Corey Holcomb represents the opposite mentally and now physically
Great rhetorical analysis 😊
You did good
It felt like life was at its peak when this came out..
It was. It’ll never be that good again, I’m convinced
I was stationed in Korea. I was waiting for the second the album dropped. I remember I was taking a bus when it finally dropped. Life was good.
@@rockitabnormalnever man
Aside from Trump yeah bro
@@chucksbilly5634 Trump came in Nov of 2016. I was blasting These Walls since March of 2015 when it was released
Idc what anyone says. This young man is musical genius.
And a poetic genius aswell!
Has anyone said otherwise?
Wow controversial
It was mostly thundercat bro, hate to break it to you
@Trey Indica Lmaooo

You ain't never told no lie!
My cousin was the girl dancing on Kendrick against the wall! Her name is Amber she is such a beautiful soul and woman! I'm so happy for her that she was able to do this! I love this song! Kendric Lamar is one of the most talented musicians ever!
Really? Do you have like an IG or something to share?

You forgot to put a comma after her name.

Terry crews will never stop being fucking amazing
True
lmfao terry crews is too much.
Loved him on everybody hates chris
+Irene Arinze LOL #EverybodyHaaAtesChriiis
มันคือ กูอ่านม่ออก
My interpretation of the talent show scene: In the car, Kendrick tells Terry Crews that they're going to "get the money and get out." So they're representing rappers who steal the spotlight by making one catchy hit song, become part of mainstream culture for a little bit, then make their money and disappear afterwards.
or it could also be Kendrick Lamar just having fun.
+Abednego Tamba i want that one catchy hit song, how its called?
+Míkel Zuppa nah you dont wanna listen to that trash
+Míkel Zuppa hit the quan!
I totally agree
Y not both?
In all of these years of listening to TPAB, I had NO knowledge that there was a video!!!! I just found out the concept and was blown away by his storytelling. He was already my favorite BUT NOW?!?
Production is beyond 100%
This video should have 160M instead of 16M way too underrated
Fr
16 million people is still a lot of people... This is not underrated
@@chrissy8722 wtf? 16 million is SUUPER UNDERATTED! Especially for Kendrick Lamar
It's not like Kendrick Lamar's "These Walls" has the lyrical genius of Lil Pump's billion+ views "Gucci Gang".
Truuu
The man knew he couldn’t come at kendrick from any angles he went back and listened to TPAB and deleted his diss track. We still love you Cole, thank you for being honest with yourself.
The title “These Walls” plays off the familiar expression “if these walls could talk…” Kendrick’s complex wordplay introduces layered metaphorical and literal walls-the “walls” of a woman’s vagina, the walls of a prison cell, and ultimately the “walls” of his mind and conscience. Kendrick uses this conceit to explore sex, abuse, his own career, his enemies, and the human psyche.
The song narrates Kendrick having sex with a woman who has children with a man in jail for killing one of Kendrick’s friends. Kendrick views this as an act of revenge for his slain friend, but he also has a bad conscience about using his fame and power to seduce someone for that purpose.
Ultimately “these walls” represent being imprisoned by the entire situation: an allegory for a cycle of murder, lust, seduction, revenge and guilt.
Damn thanks for explaining it for me because this is my first time and I didn’t understand it😭😭
Knowing this context makes the final verse stone cold
Damn this song hurts now
bro just copy paste from genius damn
It's most likely Dave who that guy killed, seeing as though he mentions Sing About Me
Kendrick hitting the quan alongside Terry Crews in his own music video is what has been missing from my life...
music Videos I'm hoping for: Wesley's Theory, Complexion, Hood Politics
while I'd like a video for u, How Much a Dollar Cost, or Blacker the Berry I feel like they work best when they're left to the imagination to create the imagery imo
A music video for Complexion would be great
you kinda got a video for u except it was only up until the second verse.
Bro
I realllllly wanted a wesleys theory video, the multiple storylines and fast paced lyrics would be amazing to see visualized
I watched a lot of Islamic videos and i accidentally read it as "Quran" help bahahhahahaha
Kendrick's face @ 3:27 when he's hittin' the Quan is fucking hilarious lmaooooo
Yep. Making fun of those sell outs.
+James Bond jr What they do
Making fun of the sellouts
Ahem
Silent o
+v Zero Clips That was actually IHeartMemphis :P
The artist was i♥memphis but silent o is the sellout
With all this shit goin’ on, I had to come back to this classic to appreciate the greatest lyricist of our time. Kung Fu Kenny.
This is the song that took the longest to grow on me and now I can't help but feel it's the real focal point of the album. The walls mean so many things.
Yup
Sex, jail cell, depression, and the whole community could represent the walls. Genius Kendrick.
No way this one hit off the bat. Good for you tho this is a forgotten song on the album
THIS IS KING KENDRICK LAMAR
KING KENDRICK LAMAR!
King Kendrick and I meant it
my point intended is raw
fix you're lenses forensics woulda told u Kendrick had killed it!
Pretend it's a massacre!
Kendrick hitting the quan?!? Definitely the best thing I've ever seen in my life 😂😂💀💀🔥🔥
right😂😂
+Chris Johnson WORD
XD HAHAAHHA
+Chris Johnson hahaha fact.
Kendrick literally threw shots at every pop rapper. he is the best artist alive.
AND Terry Crews too god damn bruh😂🔥
This coulda been a movie dawg

Lyrically, unbeatable.
Why does everyone overlook Thundercats work though?😔
Dude is very talented.
I swear 😩. He's always a part of the best musical projects. His solo music is amazing too
people tend to overlook instrumentals for singers and rappers

Possibly the most underrated song from TPAB

instutionalized
Dude agreed
Hood Politics or Momma
I was so happy when I saw this video was over 8 mins
+The Labryinth me too bruh ahahaha, but I tought it was a short video at the same time
+good user, m.A.A.d internet nice observation bruh
also that user name is 🔥
+good user, m.A.A.d internet i am pretty sure it said حب which means love.
I was so happy when it said to be continued! U video hopefully next. It will be depressing, but GROUNDBREAKING! I truly believe it. I don't think Blacker the berry will get a video..because the lyrics pretty much create images in your head lol.
+The Labryinth i couldnt have said it better myself.
Coming from a 60 year young man, all I can say is this young brother music is the soulful truth.
Absolute facts from Tyrone Glover
you’re probably dead by now
Only Kendrick can get away with a music video inside a music video.

this woman just twerked Kendrick through a wall.
It really do be like that.
She butt slapped Kendrick causing him to bust the wall.
@@anibalhyrulesantihero7021 love it hahaha

Edited to change cruz to crews...

He's needs to come back 😭
@@shaibullard8870 well, he came back.
Top of the mornin
soon sister
Wait no further
Real music won!!
For some reason, I always see Kendrick as the modern day Micheal Jackson. Similar morals of love. And never wanted to just put out a video of them reciting their lyrics. Always making movies, works of art.
#TheWinnersCircle
they don't really match in styles or genre of music but I see what your saying
Hell yeah
+Supreme Empire - I see him more on the Prince level - a lot of subliminal messages in his music.
+ANTHONY PRESTON nah I'd say he's pretty blunt with everything. Pretty straight forward
The chopped and screwed bit when they are in the car gives me chills.
yup
Nujabee that one is better than the original one
Wish that version was on CZcams.

ME TOO
This song is a masterpiece. Lyrically, musically…Kendrick is a genius
That last verse bodies to this day. Crazy how such an upbeat song can have such a dark true meaning. Kendrick speaks on light and positivity alot so to see this very human theme of revenge expressed was amazing. TPAB was Hip Hops crown jewel of the 2010's. Ain't no debate.
To pimp a butterfly shall and forever will be Lamars greatest masterpiece.
#Classic🔝😌
Tied with GKMC tbh
Chase Brostek I actually prefer gkmc
For me it's always going to be Maad city
Prolly hip hop's greatest masterpiece
1. GKMC.
2. TPAB.
3. Section 80.
4. Untitled Unmastered.
5. DAMN.
The talent show scene will forever be the most hilarious thing
when terry crews was like im killing this byotch lol
its a real classic so hilarious
Honestly…I wasn’t expecting that😂😂😂
Kendrick was mad happy and TC😂😂😂
was that baby keem rappin?
I get in the best mood when I hear this song
This gotta be the most underrated music video of all time
Yves Mugisha yuppp
Boy it has 10 million views! U sure about that!
vinny Trucks it has 10 million views because Kendrick has a big fanbase, but 10 million is tiny compared to his other music videos.
vice2vursa 10 million isnt much for most
vice2vursa yup his other videos got like 100m+ views
Love how people are concerned with the number of views lol. Just be happy we are part of the selective group who have good taste in music
Rick Rodrigues facts
They wanna listen to lil pump and shit go ahead
😍😍😍
You know like that !
burritopuppy 87 lil pumps songs get more views than this one, not Kendrick in general
This song won Grammy ahead of Only by Nicki, Drake and Chris Brown; one man can change the world by Big Sean and Kanye and John Legend, this guy is hype
Abusing his power full of resentment & it sent Jermaine into a deep depression
If Kendrick made a movie it would be lit asf🔥
most underrated kenny song! 10m? really?
Kristien Nocon it’s too real for the masses
Kristien Nocon bruh...rite!!!
Nah fr
I've never heard anyone call him kenny
Chєyєииє he calls himself kung fu kenny
7 years later and this song still has me in a chokehold!!!
I always enjoy watching this masterpiece. The art of storytelling
Terry Crews yelling "Killin dis bitch" over and over while hitting the Quan=Great video.
im not the only one who repers terry crews is in the video ❤
+Xcube 500 much better ahahah
Type in "Jake Jacoby" people! I just did and his rap is extremely dope! I mean, he KILLS IT!!
6:08 "Y'all sharing bars like you got the bottom bunk in a two-man cell."
good catch
heheh
lmao
king kunta was great
I listened to the song too
Love this video soooo much man this takes me back
5:49 “These cops sweating me about hitting the ass of their car, god dammit. I told them I hit ass, I don’t give a f*** if it’s a car.” Legendary line lol
Thats it!
Im buying TPAB.
THIS IS ART!
Why are you just buying it?
Better late than never Fam. I was late as hell getting on Kanye 808 and Heartbreak. I didn't think an album with auto tune could be dope. Damn was I wrong.
+TheRealMKingRevenge lmao like you'll recognise real art if it hits you in the face
+TheRealMKingRevenge lmao no you don't nigga you're clueless
+TheRealMKingRevenge you must be trolling lmao
That hit the Quan part 😂😂😂😂
Right! My favorite part
Achundris Williams Best Part😂😂😂😂😂
had Kendrick weak lol
"get your standing O nigga" 🤣🤣 had me dying
Russell "First Round Exit" Westbrick wus that mean
Thundercat groove is AMAZING. Bilal, too. A perfect funk mesh with Ken lyrical ability
I swear the Hit the Quan part with Kendrick's big ass smile and Terry Crews legit cures depression momentarily.
The amount of people complaining about how long it's taking Kendrick to drop an album makes me think that when it comes it won't be as appreciated as it should likely be. Hopefully that's not the case.
the WLR situation, the longer it takes for him to drop the higher the expectations and pressure, they’re gonna be expecting something on the caliber of tpab but if that’s what they’re waiting for then i think Kendrick fans are gonna be really disappointed
@@kaiiryz5416 wlr was booty doe
Feeling the same way 💯💯 they better not disrespect
It will be appreciated.
Kendrick Takes his time because he creates great works of art.
We are still listening to "To pimp a butterfly" in 2021 because he put a lot of effort and he took his time to create it.
Real fans will wait while the fake dissipate
My favorite song from the album next to The Blacker The Berry.
I SEE YOU NIGGA
Complexion and Hood Politics are my favs right now... Changes all the time tho
I love how Isaiah is popping up in all these videos with the team
+ThatGuyMohamed Hood Politics and For Sale? are my favs right now, though they used to be Complexion and You Ain't Gotta Lie
hood politics the best song though.
Kendrick is a genius…. Simple!
The walls around you dictate your future. Your environment will have influence on you.
100!
This song is perfection
Lucius be like "Get the Fuck up Kendrick, that fall costed 1.99$"

Am I the only one who thinks Kendrick deserves more than 2 million in a week. Y'all see how quick Adele got her millions of views. We need to show Kendrick that kinda love
no trust me you're not the only one who agrees but sometimes I think it's for the better Kendrick doesn't seem to focus on getting the most views or selling the most records he just focuses on his craft 👌
marco bazan Facts
a lot of white people don't listen to kendrick lamar
the 8 hokage and then again a lot of white people do lol
yea but county hicks don't listen to him and racist white people
I've been missing out for years. Never picked this album up till now and this is the sickest song. Always heard alright and the hype since it was filmed in the Bay Area but really had to go out of my to find how dope this album is and it has not enough talk out here. Complexion is amazing too.
I only listened to tpab 4 months ago just because I was only 8 years old when it came out and I only got into Kendrick in September. I wish I was old enough to be there and be able to have listened to it day one and have the time to have tried to figure out all the meanings to the album by myself. However it's still amazing just to see how many people have been affected by the album and are still learning new things about it. It's truly one of the best rap albums of all time and in my opinion one of the best albums ever in general. I also would say that gkmc is still very close to the lever of tpab and it deserves more love than it really gets. These walls is definitely one of my favorite songs by him and it definitely has the best music video I personally have ever seen. Kendrick is truly one of the best artists ever and in my own opinion he is my personal favorite.
@3:54 the Smile had me dying with laughter from Kendrick. Thats priceless lmao bravo! Pure Gold.
I'm just gonna vent it out. This song is gonna be 6 years old and I believe it's the best song Kendrick ever made. I don't think there is another song which has the same level of MUSIC, MEANING, COLLAB and REFLECTION
‘Momma’ is a heavy competitor for his best song ever
@@e13mentemw19 Momma and These Walls are my favs on this album, my favorite Kendrick songs period and probably of all time. you ain't gotta lie is third fav on the album.
it’s crazy because everyone will say diff songs from the album that’s how you know it’s so good
YUp!! Never gotten sick of this song, got so many layers of wisdom and sound
It’s one of the best songs I’ve ever heard. Sounds just as innovative and poetic 6 years later (almost 7 now)
three years later and finally understood every small detail in this video
nothing but infinite appreciation and this is one of the greatest songs in hip hop history
care to elaborate?

KDot, 6years later and I'm still still asking myself "If these walls could talk".
Kendrick is in a category of his own he's a real lyricist he writes his own music no ghostwriter needed
This song is my favorite off the album, it's just really such a work of art, K Dot is so creative man I swear, To Pimp A Butterfly really is an instant classic
Took me long time to figure out it was about sex , this song is beautiful
Its a little more than that. Its about revenge, "abusing my power full of resentment"
This song is more than just sex. That last verse is legendary
Terry Crew might be the greatest thing to ever happen to humanity

WHY THE FUCK DOES THIS ONLY HAVE 9 MILLION VIEWS?? genuinely my favorite track by kendrick and the music video is stunning, literally art.
It's one of my fave songs ever tbh. I just love it so much.
Shouldn't have views at all.

Racism! That's why.
This is his best song fr😭
"These walls could talk they’d tell me to swim good, no boat I float better than he would"…
"If your walls could talk they’ll tell you it’s too late, your destiny accepted your fate"👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 type of music you could listen to on repeat
"You know you get that feeling sometime ? Like when a real cute woman is showing you genuine love ? Aye that ain't right" The realist shit tho.
Thats how my guy feels😏😏😏
that last verse gives me chills each listen
