Dad Reacts to Kendrick Lamar - good kid, m.A.A.d city

Lmao. The moment maad city ends, Kevin: “Okay I gotta start. I gotta address something first. Lyrically it’s insane. It’s absolutely insane.” What I would give to hear that first verse for the first time again…

Colin Krauss

Run the Jewels

Sergio Mendez

you mentioned tiny desk, any plans to do reactions to tiny desks of artists youve covered?

Lok

Really hoping you guys check out DAMN by Kendrick, great album, great story

Nick Roth

I know this is an old post, but I really feel like you guys would love the Outkast albums. Especially Aquemini, ATliens, or even Southernplayalistic. Please consider checking their stuff out

Lebron James

Oh damn thats too bad, if they have the uncut footage for motm they should upload it on patreon, id love to see it

Sam Medeiros

It was never here on pattern, motm2 was the first one

Glen McCafferty

can't wait to hear DAMN. reaction !

Shane Anderson

What happened to your man on the moon 1 reaction, it was so good it was just going back to watch it again, but I cant find it here on patreon

Sam Medeiros

Idt Drake really has any classic albums that need to be listened to. Take Care is the only one that could be.

Michael Balady

if he needed to change his perspective on drake I 100 percent agree with listening "Nothing was the same"

Captainextra

Kevin needs to hear more Drake if he’s saying he can’t connect to him. Take Care, If Your Reading This Its to Late, Nothing Was the Same

Brock

Can’t wait for Section.80

Daniel Trainor

He will like Jay Rock 90059 if he liked this album

Tyler Dixon

Seeing bino in the back makes me so excited for Awaken My Love! I reckon that’s one album Kevin will fall in love with!

Vitor Alves

And you warmed up with my personal favorite Kanye song ❤️‍🔥I legit cry when I hear it.

free

pls I wanna see some Eminem in the Future. Dr. Dre's 2001 would be awesome too

Azrael21X

You should introduce Kevin to EARTHGANG, highly recommend their new album GHETTO GODS. Production is next level

Gary McGuigan

Yall gotta do the bonus tracks (for The Recipe if nothing else) and the Bitch, Dont Kill My Vibe Remix with Jay-Z (one of the better remixes of the last decade)

Dustin Charrier

Definitely do the bonus tracks!

Whoops

Do Childish gambino

Christoffer Kristiansen

if your dad listened to IYRTITL his opinion on drake would change a lot haha

Matthew Carlson

You guys should do Low End Theory or Midnight Marauders

Tkchiappini

Please do the bonus songs on the deluxe album!! Some of my fav Kendrick songs

Uncle Tito

I think you should show him the bitch dont kill my vibe with jay z honestly I like it more than the original

Jason

Connor, I don’t know if you’re a fan of Big K.R.I.T. but his newest album “Digital Roses Don’t Die” seems like something your dad would LOVE. Very soulful and upbeat but still lyrical.

Ian

loved the saturday night fever at the start!

James Young

Great video as always, you guys should definitely record the bonus tracks! Black boy fly and County building blues should have been part of the second part of the album for me

Romain Delplancq

GUYS! TTT watchalong of the Straight Outta Compton movie??

Daniel Nkwocha-Dyer

You all need to react to Baby Keems The melodic blue, great record and It’s Kendrick’s cousin!

David Henderson

Y’all need to do astroworld

Collin Harmon

I hope someone tells Kevin that the "angel" in the background of Poetic Justice is a Janet Jackson sample ;) Any Time, Any Place

Daniel Nkwocha-Dyer

Kevin so lucky to be hearing all this for the first time!

Jordon Diaz

Shoutout MixedByAli

LeviRG

My next suggestion for Kendrick would be section 80, but I see A tribe called quest on the wall they’d be an awesome future reaction too

Gunnar

if yall are gonna go back to the 80s i feel like the obvious picks paul's boutique, that album breaks down the entire early hip hop culture into one amazing album

DAVIS

Midnight Marauders on the wall!!!! Dope album

tristen tokiwa

trilogy by the weeknd would be a solid listen

Thomas Garcia

Loved this! On a bit of a different note but since you did Charli I'd be interested to hear thoughts on SAWAYAMA

Harry

Gotta do the bonus tracks they’re so good

Devin

Now can't wait for Damn next!

Ersin Günay

This is great 👍

Johnnie Huber Von

Probably already mentioned but thats actually Kendricks parents in the skits

Daryll Verstraeten

I’m so happy y’all did this reaction!!! Lol love the video! Can’t forget Watch the Throne era of Kanye!!

Andrew Huynh

Not sure if it was already mentioned but thats Pharrell on the chorus of "Good Kid" and the old woman narrating the baptism at the end of "Sing About Me" is Maya Angelou

dayvan-cowboy

Cannot wait for circles I feel like Kevin will like it even more than swimming

Jake Merloni

would kill for an if youre reading this its too late reaction lol, in due time

Mitch Castagna

You guys absolutely have to do 22, a million soon. It's been in the back there teasing me for ages and I just know it would absolutely blow Kevin's mind

jeff smith

Found out NItro and I were both going to the Donda 2 event in Miami the other day through Discord and we saw each other in the stands and waved, cool to see the community irl

Jacob Greene

Used to listen to this album on the way and back to home from college because it was a long drive, but I had to stop because Sing About Me makes me cry my eyes out and i'd have to pull over.

Noah Smith

Definitely should do the bonus track. The don’t kill my vibe remix is essential.

Joshua Figon

Love it. Would be interested to see his reaction to Because The Internet

Cutler Barrett

You should definitely upload old videos maybe the uncut blonde ???!

Marcos Lazaro

The deluxe videos would be a nice bonus video, yall should do it.

stagered

Here in England or at least my dad says. Beans Beans, they're good for your heart, the more you eat the more you fart. [Must be a dad thing xD ]

ConorJ92

Mc Eiht, is pronounced Mc 8 to the best of my knowledge.

ConorJ92

you two are damn legends haha , made me chuckle a good few times watching this one!

ConorJ92

“What happens to Sherane does she come back in the next album?” She is mentioned in TPAB funnily enough lol.

Dae'Javon Bibbs

If you do a reaction to the bonus tracks you should defo include the bitch don't kill my vibe Jay-Z remix. Last verse is one of my favourite kendrick verses

Joshua Walker

butchered mc eiht's name but all good, cool video

FerociousLionsOrg

YOU HAVE TO DO 2001 BY DR DRE. Best rap album of all time. Your dad would love it especially if he enjoyed the Super Bowl performance

Andrew Palladino

BTI just lurking in the back. I need that now

Tyler Johnson

Or Weezy

Tyler Johnson

do take care

hadeha

Loving this video, I was I thinking about it and i think it would be cool if you don’t have the album you’re listening to on vinyl to display, you can print out a 12x12 print of the album cover from your local walmart/photo center for a couple bucks and tape that to a piece of cardboard the same size and put that on the table like you do with your records. I think it adds something having the cover in front of you, keep up the great work i love you guys!!

gavin

SECTION 80!!

Haidan Heppler

'MC Ehit' is pronounced "MC 8".

Lee_Stixx

here for kevins cooking videos

hadeha

holy shit the "because of the internet", I cannot wait. Great video as always

Mickey D305

I would love to see you guys reacting to trilogy (or any of the 3 mixtapes) by the weeknd !

Pascal Levesque

i think kevin needs to be educated on drake lol

Chas Addison

DO THE BONUS TRACKS. Now or never is so fire

John Vargas

if kevin is confused about Jeezy and JayZ and Yeezy do NOT tell him about G-Easy cause that will make it even worse

Alex Moczarski

Also Kevin I would pay money to see you react to the track momentum by Russ and a whole lotta other rappers that would hit your sweet spot with the flows

Mark Alan

Your dad is so ready for “Call me if you get lost” by Tyler

Mark Alan

So glad to see you guys do this one, I used to listen to this a lot, two summers ago.

Seán Finn

maybe start from the top for J Cole? would love that

Senaie Haile

would love to see some Lana Del Rey content

David Nikolov

maybe a drake album next 👀

FLETCHER RAY

Love all the reactions as always, here are few critically acclaimed albums from female song writers in case you wanted to switch things up a bit and explore other genres. Björk - Vespertine / Homogenic / Post Lorde - Melodrama / Pure Heroine Lana Del Rey - Norman Fucking Rockwell! Janelle Monáe - The ArchAndroid Beach House - Bloom / Once Twice Melody/7 Little Simz - Sometimes I Might Be Introvert FKA twigs - MAGDALENE Phoebe Bridgers - Stranger in the Alps Julia Holter - Have You in My Wilderness Susanne Sundfør - Ten Love Songs Kate Bush - Hounds of Love Weyes Blood - Titanic Rising Fiona Apple - Fetch the Bolt Cutters / When the Pawn Fever Ray - Fever Ray

yellowflannel

Great reaction as always! Hope you are doing the life of pablo soon!

Leon Puhl

Kendrick has mastered every single aspect of making an album... from stories, lyrics, production, vocals, etc. everything is literally perfect every single time

Cameron Ackerman

OMG I JUST GOT AN IDEA, WHEN IS YOUR DAD REACTING TO TAME IMPALA?!?!?!

Tapes

Bitch don’t kill my vibe remix is fuckin crazy you gotta do that one too

CRASH

Is the video unavailable for anyone else? (Nvm I think my vimeo app is just broken)

dayvan-cowboy

same... so underrated

Cameron Ackerman

i see that Tribe album in the back 😏

Diego Bernal

you two are gems!

Diego Bernal

Midnight marauders! love that album, will we possibly see it in the future?

Jeffrey McKay

Your reaction to Backseat had me DEAD 🤣

Mitch Hayes

"They let me out, Young Jizzy, spreadin the seed. My co-host is livin proof that I say what I mean"

FuzzyDunlop

this! im mainly on the patreon for the uncut videos, but having them in at least 720p would be great.

Nick

Can’t wait for damn.

Braden

This album was one of my last breaths of adolescence.

FuzzyDunlop

I hope you guys work your way around to Brockhampton's discography. They are such a fun, powerful, entertaining group.

cbucfan

So happy to see Kendrick and Frank are finally coming back up! This was such an interesting reaction from Kevin. I could tell he was really entrenched in the lyrics because he was speechless during most of the songs - deservedly so. Kendrick is a poet. I'm surprised no one has mentioned the album cover yet. The cinematic feel was absolutely premeditated and intentional. The subtitle of the album is "A Short Film by Kendrick Lamar". Genius.

cbucfan

Also, I see Because the Internet on the shelf in the background. I need that reaction video in my veins! Maybe a two part with Awaken, My Love, so that Kevin can see how crazy Gambino’s range is.

Tyler

Big fan of you 2 and this record. During this at one point you mentioned how hard this would be to do as rock music. And I do agree that this art form does allow for much more vivid and personal narratives. But there are some really great concept/personal records out there In the rock space. Carrie and Lowell, sea change, are a few that come to mind. I would love to see your dad listen to A crow looked at me by Mount Eerie as another one.

Matthew Harkleroad

Just a side note: that “angel” in the background of ‘Poetic Justice’ is Janet Jackson. The song Kendrick sampled is ‘Any Time, Any Place’ and it’s one of my favorite songs of all time!

Tyler

Now time for him to Listen Damn from Kendrick

Anthony Polanco

i see gambino in the back.. LFGGGG

Captain

Speaking about Dr. Dre, cant wait for a reaction on the Compton album and going back from there!

Joseph pena

I couldn't give a damn about the xxxp quality - the REAL quality is in your interaction, delivery and music presentation, and that sounds just fine in 360 or worse. Love bros ☮️

Jon Scanlon

If you do section.80 don’t forget the song The Spiteful Chant it got taken off streaming services because of sample issues but it’s a great song !

JOEY 80

Its so nice seeing you sit down and listen to music with your 67 year old father

Luigi

Great reaction as always!! He has to hear Wayne’s Carter III based on his reaction to Wayne features on some other projects and because Kendrick is heavily influenced by Wayne

La’Que Newby

Yes please do the deluxe and the remixes they have a lot of dope additions I feel like y’all would love them

Jaime llanes

I like to think of Compton as the credits to the album. Always felt like an aerial pan of Los Angeles overlooking the ocean. Hope to see you guys react to Cilvia Demo some day soon

Matt W

Thanks for releasing such good albums, you have an ELITE music taste. Most videos you guys release are on an album that is hanging on my walls. By the way, that Drake intro on Poetic Justice never gets old! Much love everyone

Arthur Klause

-wow thanks for sharing and we are also saddened by the news. We are with you man, many of us wish we could do more to help and de-escalate the situation

krashindigo

1000% That last kendrick verse is crazy.

Gage Ignota

Same!

Gage Ignota

my dad is the polar opposite of Kevin

Sahil Sahota

When Kevin said “hope everyone doing great, wherever you are in the world” I just couldn’t resist to say that: I’m your Russian fan, you guys are setting a very comfortable vibe for me, and doing it in terms of my favourite thing in life - hip hop / music. Russia’s now in war with Ukraine. And there’s a big risk of getting sanctions that will isolate us off of the free world. Even more than we are isolated already. I just want to share this: Our government is not us. Everyday in our cities people do protests against the war. Most of people in Russia don’t support and didn’t vote for that government. We’re just a fooled nation, that cannot stop evil of our government. We tried. We are literally unarmed in front of them. I hope, sanctions from US and other countries will help our nation to turn the page of history. I didn’t want to set a bad mood, but Kevin’s words triggered me. Feel bad for my friends in Ukraine, who have to hear explosions in there cities right now. ps: love to all the ragers, fans of good music, thanks for listening to my top 3 music album ever, hope you’ll do «17»and «?», would be interesting. we are all the same, just in different circumstances.

Gosha Boronenko

a reaction to Christian Dior denim flow would be a great single reaction, that is one of Kanye’s best songs in my opinion it brings this energy that can’t be explained

Devin

My number 1 album of all time, so buzzing to see you guys listen to this 😍

Oakley Brown

lesgo

r.h.y.l

need that Hotling Bling country version from Kevin

fobos

the poetic justice background vocal was actually Janet Jackson

Unsweetened

love these as always but is there a possibility that we could get a version of the recording that is higher than 540p ?

Sam Remund

GKMC might be my favorite hip hop album. It's perfect from top to bottom

Brendan

i’d love for you to show him Cilvia Demo by Isaiah Rashad

Saint Chris

Kendrick is masterful. So good to listen thru this project again, even better that it was with you guys

yabskee

Haven’t listened yet but oh god I hope they did the bonus tracks. One of the rare cases where they’re essential

CRASH

I love TPAB and I can appreciate it's greatness but Good Kiid Maad City will always be my favorite Kendrick album. Sing about me is right there with 'Runaway' as one of my favorite songs of all time.

Whyyeezus

Oh man, I sharted myself when he said he was 67

Ben Morrison

React to Beach House

Sigurd

was was waiting on this !! thank u guys so much

sebastian

Can’t wait for because the Internet 🔥

Olivier Tingue

The background vocal(angelic voice) on Poetic Justice is Janet Jackson.

Jay Martin

My heart is literally exploding. I am a very big fan of kendrick, and this album, and its connections to his other work so I am ecstatic to see you both experiencing it together. I did a few essay's for my ethnic literature courses at ASU on Kendrick and his albums so if you wouldn't mind I wanted to reach out to give you guys some contextual stuff that is really cool about the 2 albums you listened to. Always appreciate both of your commentary and openess. You both make my day. Much love.

Gage Ignota

For anyone who wants to connect their patreon and discord, I tried to connect them on the patreon app on my phone and there wasn’t an option that I could find so you have to go to patreon on a browser and log in and you’ll be able to link your accounts. I just did it recently and highly recommend it to anyone who hasn’t yet!!

Alex treib

This is the Pulp Fiction of Hip Hop albums! Classic!

Yomikedoo

So hyped seeing midnight marauders in the background. Kevin is gonna love that one!

Chris Callahan

LETS GOOOOOOOOOOO.

Cody

Thanks for making my friday afternoon at work much less painful / that much more enjoyable. Awesome reaction, u rock boyz

Simon Brissette

Misael P

thanks so much for the shoutout for my song! i LOVE the art channel and seeing what everyone is up to. great video!

fitzrovia (Laura)

smokey_vibez

DAMN. should be fun

Glorben

i saw that midnight marauders in the back!!!

Chris Zhang

if y'all do the bonus tracks (or don't do them) please remember cartoons and cereal ! easily one of kendrick's best songs, just as good as (if not better than) most songs on gkmc. that fanmade video on youtube for it is fire, too . originally made for gkmc but didn't make it cause it leaked or didn't fit in the flow of the album, i forget

linsii

Was fun listening to a movie with you guys today! Probably my favorite album of all time. Such a great work of art

Jonathan Karleskint

untitled unmastered is dope af, really hope your dad can hear it at some point.

Psykopomp

Are you sure about this? I assumed it was his set of dominoes that people play and gamble with. The game

Seth Landis

lmao

Psykopomp

christian cano

can't believe we're this far in and he hasn't seen a Drake feature yet. The line on faces isn't even gonna make sense

Elijah

Been waiting for this!! My favorite Kendrick album… would love to see you guys do “Control System” by Ab-Soul

WnB Productions

I remember Backseat Freestyle being released as a single, before the album drop, and confusing a lot of kendrick fans in my high school, along with myself lol. Being 26, this was such an essential listen, and totally changed my view on what a hip hop record could be for sure. So happy you guys did this record; wishing peace and love to ya Kev and Con!

Dylan V

I’ve been listening to this album for the past 10 years and I’m still getting lumps in my throat (…) when I hear it. Hearing your reaction might’ve just solidified for me that it’s my favorite album of all time

Joseph

but same!!! I choked at this notification! love the audio.

youngDre

show him who took the Grammys over him this year. smh

youngDre

you guys should do Take Care by Drake, that’s a good introduction to him

Edgar Ramirez

Definitely react to the bonus tracks.

Trevor George

holy shit im so excited to watch this later

Thomas Hartmann

Literally had to start a workout during Backseat Freestyle lol can't help it.

Peter Burton

Yo Kev, definitely listen to the bonus tracks. The Recipe is another dope track w/ Dre and Black Boy Fly is killer. Pretty deep song tho

Adam Wright

love to see NO ONE EVER REALLY DIES by N.E.R.D

Peter speth

Kendrick is so enigmatic cause he literally just drops off the earth and then comes back every few years with an earth-shattering record.

Peter Burton

Now that you guys have returned to Kendrick, I need a return to Tame as well. Lonerism would be amazing.

Peter Burton

Do "Blu - Below the Heavens" at some point

Aaron Martin

Gotta listen to some tribe

Darby

backseat freestyle is gonna melt your dad's brain

Randy

The live performance from Kendrick on Jimmy Fallon is a must watch.

Dane Gray

Been bumping this album all week lol had a feeling you guys would be visiting this album soon

Ziggy L

I think they're doing it after they do a few other earlier mac projects

Elijah

LITERALLY CHOKED WHEN I SAW THIS NOTIFICATION

Mario Juarez

saturday night fever floored me when i saw it. that film is ridiculously underrated. i actually don't find it cheesy at all, it's dark, it's real and it's definitely not talked about enough. also love good kid!

Christian Corbett

yo I’m so happy I subscribed just for this reaction it’s weird I was watching old good kid mad city reactions last night

Taylor Joseph

Fun fact, the girl Kendrick mentions “Sherane” is a real person and I believe they are still together! One of my favorite albums of all time glad you guys listened to this!

Alex

krashindigo

One of the best albums of the 10s. Such a amazing album

RINGER 13

Any idea when Circles by Mac is gonna get a reaction? I know you have a lot of stuff to react to, but I am way too excited for Circles, especially after watching the Swimming reaction

Cody

I’ve been waiting so long for your reactions to this album. One the best story telling albums of all time imo.

Luis ibarra

why is the quality 360p?

riley harrington

one of the greatest hip hop album to ever exist every listen it always feels like the first time

Unsweetened

Today just got so much better!

Brandon
