What’s crazy is he previewed and hinted this whole record with the squabble up sneak peak in the NLU video and the SB announcement with the band like in TV off
A lot of people forget that Top (TDE CEO) and 50 real close friends every time TOP has a new artist 50 goes and listen before he sign him - Hell 50 also put Kendrick in POWER early in his career
@@TheDreday410what you think about 50 meeting up With Drake during the battle & also saying Aubrey didn't lose anything if he still had money? Just curious
Felt like he meant "The Land" as in Southland, LA. It makes sense why he said, "When you don't travel past the 10" part. He's talking about transplants, visitors, and outsiders who have never been there, constantly giving LA a bad name, and only seeing all of LA County as "Hollywood" through a naivete lens. It's one of the most unique love letters to your city I've heard before.
That last part, I interpreted it as in, “Don’t take this (beef; or his lyrics) too personal, you may not know (realized, but you could get got (first to go)”. This might be the most subtle threat to anyone’s life ever, and with a sweet beat with whisperings in a seductive way with the slow tempo. Sweet talking you into the grave if you take it to heart. He is just something else!
@KnoxHill I Had this posted on your Squabble Up reaction. But I'm reposting here because I believe that Kendrick took a few shots at 50 Cent on this album. I haven't seen any mention of this but but Kendrick is likely sending shots at 50 on SquabbleUp.. The Tri state is New York, New Jersey, Connecticut. 50 is from New York, but when he got on, he brought Mike Tyson's old crib in Connecticut. Also, a shot at all the New York rappers (Tri State and East Coast) that had a lil' lowkey hate they let slip out when they were commenting on the Kendrick and Drake beef. Now back to 50.... "Buddy pass, but I get em splash til he hydrated." 50 got a buddy pass because he's under the same Dr. Dre tree /umbrella as kendrick. So Kendrick should give him a pass and not come at him, but instead, he gonna get em splashed til he hydrated. 50 had Vitamin water.( "Vitamin Water, Try It".[Try Me-Tri State] was the slogan)A Buddy pass also allows you to tag along with a friend to the amusement/water park (Splash Park). 50 had a song "Amusement Park" where 50 mentioned water rides and a pass to get in. 50 also had a song "My Buddy" (Everywhere I go, my buddy gotta tag along)Buddy in this context is a gun, hence the buddy gets you splashed. Also Buddy pass is 50 being all buddy buddy with Drake and giving him a pass. (And all the Tri State rappers giving Drake a pass) " I got the Money and the Power both gyrating (dancing)" 50 got a song " I get money." 1st bar 50 talks about his vitamin water. (Could be reaching) but later in the song 50 says "spray the A.R make em break dance" (make em dance) Also 50 is known for being on Instagram askin' people "where's my money or who owe me money? To people who owe him money. 50 has a show called "Power" on Starz. Kendrick was on an episode of Power. (Which gives us another way of looking at that " I was Stargazing" line.) So now when we get to the "50 deep" line we know that it's not there by happenstance. He don't say they deep. He says "50 deep" as in referring to 50 Cent being. Then he says they ain't deep enough whichnow seems more general. (Even though the song "Rolling 50 deep" had rappers from other regions, the majority were from the Tri State area general and a lot of them sideways threw shade at Kendrick during the beef.) To add to what you said about The Double Back line and the Deluxe album being a double disc. McDonald's has a Deluxe Double Quarter Pounder. Which comes with 2 Quarter Pound Beef patties instead of 1. It also comes with 3 switches in the form of 3 extra toppings that don't come on the regular Quarter Pounder. One of those toppings is leaf lettuce. (Beef and greens) That's 2 Quarters (50 cent)or double the beef, and more beef is what Kendrick wants. Also, it could be hinting at doubling back (back 2 back ....let's get back to that for the Record) and dropping another album. Now when we look at Deluxe as doubling back for more beef in context with the tri state area, that give us another way to veiw "woke up looking for the broccoli" Tri State dudes is known for their affection for Timberland boots. The brown and green field Tims is nickname "Beef and broccoli" Could be why the next line after looking for the broccoli was a gun line.
Also in squabble up he says “50 deep, but it ain’t deep enough” Could be another allusion to 50 cent having drakes back. Even though 50 got your back it’s not enough.
Cant wait to see how you react to gloria. I hope you catch it and appreciate it more than these ppl that have no idea how much of a literal masterpiece it is
I mean a song where literally every single line stays on subject, and that subject being the metaphorical duality between his relationship with his pen and his girl, is fuckin unheard of
I like with this album he really puts himself in places that people said you wouldn’t hear Kendrick in when I heard this for the first time it’s like.. you just wanna roller skate to it 😂 summer gone be vibin! , TV off just puts you in a stadium sittin right next to the marching band waiting for that mustard build up ! And there’s more to come ! I hope we get that GNX music video full version cause gah damn ! Big 3 I see right now.. Kung Fu Kenny, Kdot, & Kendrick Lamar 🤷🏿♂️ mans is spittin hot 🔥 😂
To add, I think the main theme of this song that gets lost in the vibe of it is that it's a story about chilling at a function or a backyard bbq, where the listener is the visitor getting schooled on southland la culture. The end bridge to me is a metaphor of being the one to get shot - either be it a drive-by or at a function. This song is the cultural representation of how hypnotic la can be, but you gotta stay ready at all times. Keep that thang on you while you vibe and have fun with the homies.
Pup was one of his friends that passed away which he talks about on YG’s really be ( smokin N drinkin) so when he said that’s on pup I think it’s another way of him saying that’s on the dead homies
I don't know how often people allready told you this, Knox, but your interpretation skills are truly phenomenal. I think you'd make a great Englisch teacher! ;)
Did you see the new video, he is true west cost.I haven't seen many people paying homage to ICE-T godfather of gangsta rap, and the first rappers,rapper that comes from west coast.
So going back to the last reaction I realized that the way kendrick starts TV. Oof feels like a straight follow up from the end of reincarnated :edit especially with that whole alpha and omega bar saying welcome home
Another thing for the Scenic route. Typically, the scenic route is the longer route, but you see a lot more of the nicer views going that way. So if you stand with Kendrick, it might take a little longer than being with other artists, you're going to see a lot more than you would have with others and have a way more memorable time.
I feel like the "you won't be the first to know" line might be a shot at Ak, who--partly in his back and for with DJ Hed--said he'll be the first to know if Kendrick drops because he's so well connected
Our exact reaction 😂..Cause them afterhours, hoodly groovy baby makin vibes👀 took us all the waaaay back to old school west coast roots!! This is why.. we been saying he is the only cure for this particularly depressing Post Election Trauma!!
I feel like I remember that exact same "Ooh" from another song at 10:21 (1:46 and 1:58 in the actual song, but yeah). Does anyone else recognize it and possibly know where it's from? Maybe I'm just going insane.
Mustaaaarrrrddddddddddddd!!!!
Oh if you want a hat go here: www.knoxhillmusic.com/shop
Yo Knox, love the channel and work on the breakdowns. I would love for you to react to more Coast Contra songs on the channel please my brother
What’s crazy is he previewed and hinted this whole record with the squabble up sneak peak in the NLU video and the SB announcement with the band like in TV off
@knoxx Rosie dropped a song called number 1 girl hoped you react to it.. Been waiting for your reaction since the drop
😂😂😂😂😂
Hey Knox I love what you do if you would like to react to my rap songs if they are good enough.
This song is such a vibe
Love it
I CANNOT stop playing this
Shittiest song I've heard in a while.
@@KnoxHillfacts this whole album is a complete VIBE🎉❤NICE BREAKDOWN!
Most underrated track on this album

KENDRICK DROPPED SQUABBLE UP MUSIC VIDEO
Yes sir... 3hrs ago 💯
The video is so confusing but I love it lol
.. we're back hitting hood libraries and elders👀.. to unpack all the clues.. AGAIN!! We're being fed fr!!
KDot giving Knox insomnia at this point 😂
bro will have no rest and its thanksgiving week 😂
Thank you you're the only reactor to get the 50 cent line. 🐐
Right? And I caught it first listen, too.
It’s because every other reactor were probably toddlers when 50’s album dropped 😂
A lot of people forget that Top (TDE CEO) and 50 real close friends every time TOP has a new artist 50 goes and listen before he sign him - Hell 50 also put Kendrick in POWER early in his career
He also featured kendrick in his song we up.
@@TheDreday410what you think about 50 meeting up With Drake during the battle & also saying Aubrey didn't lose anything if he still had money? Just curious
FIFTY ON ME DONT DIE TRYIN N SHI
Everyone missed the 50 cent bar. My jaw just dropped. Knox is the best.
Kendrick on the most legendary run.
Wish Mac was here to see. RIP.
And pac
You meant Pac right?
“How many racks Kendrick Lamar has now in the Land?” “Kendrick Lamar never have racks like Mac Miller in the Heavens.”
@@francineserwili4674 nah him and Mac were tight.
@@francineserwili4674 the heck you mean? He can't mean both?
50 caught a stray on this. Very slick and clever, plus it's a bop

This & Luther been on repeat during sleep time
Man in the garden is gonna be my meditation track 😭
Yeah... I can't stop playing this song 💙💙💙. Not enough reactions 😂😂
When he says that's on pup, that is his dead homie Lil Pup he lost during the really be smoking joint with YG era.
Thanks for reminding me of that song. I wish yg and him did more songs together
“Computer love” vibes
good ears !
Facts
Roger & Zapp
Yes
You should look up the Computer Love song he never released from DAMN. It’s incredible.
Favorite song on the album wish it was longer.
Gives me “ To Live In Die In LA” vibe type shhhhyyyttt. RIP 2Pac
* To Live & Die in LA
i love dodger blue so much
Behind Luther, this is my second favorite track on the album.

Tell me if you still care by the SOS Band is the origin song
Thx for your precious time you make for us ❤
Class is in session with professor Knox. 💪🔥🔥
I absolutely love this song!!!

underrated comment!
For those that don’t know, us folks from L.A. call L.A. ‘The Land’…
I'm from LA and I ain't ever heard anybody call it that lmao
I'm from LA and you full of poo
@@courtneybenjamin2442I thought the Land was Cleveland.
@ depending on who you hang around. Like the chorus ‘b!@&t I’m from the land’, is how me, my homies and OG’s have been saying it for years…
I'm from the Chi so I don't know about Cali culture. But I'm truly enjoying it.
Definitely my favorite track from the album.
Knox is the goats of breakdowns
This song alone is a masterpiece.
People who love Knox 🔥👇🏼
😂 Kendrick is taking us on a roller-coaster ride... From MUSTAAAAAAARD High To Dodger Blue💙 Low🤣🤣🤣 Masterfully Surprising❤️🔥🥰
50 on me don’t die tryin’ in this bih 😅
Love this song, the vibe!! I wish it was longer.
Cant wait to see how you react to gloria. I hope you catch it and appreciate it more than these ppl that have no idea how much of a literal masterpiece it is
I mean a song where literally every single line stays on subject, and that subject being the metaphorical duality between his relationship with his pen and his girl, is fuckin unheard of
@@jonas9835don't spoil it!
Kendrick dropped again!!!!!!
Compton, Westchester, Gardena are schools that people from Kendricks's hood go to.
Facts, if you not from there you wouldn’t understand him saying Gardena.
@Lakeshow11 I just wished he shouted out the ten. Everybody forget about the Apaches and how the marching bands use to rock the parades.
Kendrick is Amazing
I'm willing to bet 50 love that bar. Salute Roddy cause I'm also willing to bet that Kendrick couldn't believe that bar was on point & on time!
"Lil NIGGA, but that DOG IN ME, THATS ON PUPP" 🔥RIP FAM....
Every time I listen to this, I always think about his momma saying make something she can step to, he definitely did 💀😂💯
Also dodge blue is a gang hat and he is asking her what school she went to because different school are over ran by different hoods
I like with this album he really puts himself in places that people said you wouldn’t hear Kendrick in when I heard this for the first time it’s like.. you just wanna roller skate to it 😂 summer gone be vibin! , TV off just puts you in a stadium sittin right next to the marching band waiting for that mustard build up ! And there’s more to come ! I hope we get that GNX music video full version cause gah damn ! Big 3 I see right now.. Kung Fu Kenny, Kdot, & Kendrick Lamar 🤷🏿♂️ mans is spittin hot 🔥 😂
Such a vibe
I actually began to like this song more because of you. Thank you!!
Pup was his homie that got unalived while he was on tour. He said it on Really Be Smoking wit YG.
To add, I think the main theme of this song that gets lost in the vibe of it is that it's a story about chilling at a function or a backyard bbq, where the listener is the visitor getting schooled on southland la culture. The end bridge to me is a metaphor of being the one to get shot - either be it a drive-by or at a function.

Favorite song on the album
We agree, that one was for 50 cent💯... rich or not we ain't dying !! Either you're on my side... Or you AIN'T!! No backhanded complimenters👀
Naw that's not the part he talking about and him and 50 is friends so he definitely want say shit out the way
That 50 bar though. Damn
They did the original sound proud ❤ still smooth...
"Tell me if you still care" by the SOS Band
Pup was one of his friends that passed away which he talks about on YG’s really be ( smokin N drinkin) so when he said that’s on pup I think it’s another way of him saying that’s on the dead homies
This is such a smooth track. Makes me think about ‘Menace to Society’ when Caine was driving his mustang playing Computer Love when he met that girl
50 be acting weird at times!😂
This that computer love feel. I wish this song was like 7 minutes long
I don't know how often people allready told you this, Knox, but your interpretation skills are truly phenomenal. I think you'd make a great Englisch teacher! ;)
Hey Knox, since Kendrick is the big thing right now could you do a throw back to one of his greatest features with Kanye, No more parties in la?
Go Dodgers!! Love your videos Knox, keep grinding. Appreciate the break downs!
Squabble up music video. Need that breakdown. Please 😢
I miss having a physical copy
Did you see the new video, he is true west cost.I haven't seen many people paying homage to ICE-T godfather of gangsta rap, and the first rappers,rapper that comes from west coast.
3:33 is reference to Drake talking about west coast do fades right?
That's how I took it
Knox time!!!!
So going back to the last reaction I realized that the way kendrick starts TV. Oof feels like a straight follow up from the end of reincarnated
:edit especially with that whole alpha and omega bar saying welcome home
Fiyah per usual🔥🔥🔥
Only locals pick up on the line "don't say you hate LA and you never pass the 10."
100%
Bro bless us one more time today 😅
Hey Knox. Your Vids are well thought out and I think that Epic the Musical would suit your commentary well. Plus the music is lyrically beautiful.
Another thing for the Scenic route. Typically, the scenic route is the longer route, but you see a lot more of the nicer views going that way. So if you stand with Kendrick, it might take a little longer than being with other artists, you're going to see a lot more than you would have with others and have a way more memorable time.
I feel like the "you won't be the first to know" line might be a shot at Ak, who--partly in his back and for with DJ Hed--said he'll be the first to know if Kendrick drops because he's so well connected
RODDY RICCH MURDERED THE VERSE
Take the scenic route if you STAND BY ME Genius. I really don’t think that’s a reach because the whole movie is them traveling through the woods
Omg I missed the 50 bar ty Knox I love this!
22 seconds ago is crazy ❤
Knox help, I need someone smarter than me to tell me everything going on in that Squabble Up video
I know right! I looked at it and immediately thought- shit i gotta wait till Knox drops the breakdown 😢
He did already!!
a lot of the material that is shown are things one from LA/socal would see daily growing up.
Gloria is my favorite!
This is a vibe damn good.🔥🔥🔥
Was waiting for you to react to this one on Gawd
You just have to love KH, he breaks the songs like no one else
8:35 he's sayi g 50 In the clip.. dont die making any attempts

Getting the measure of her and are you local was spot on

Zapp and Roger 🎶🎶🎶
I’ve been playing this album like crazy and never caught the 50 Cent part. Wow.
Man he been my favorite since sit down be humble when he mentioned stretch marks lmao 😂😂
