good kid, m.A.A.d city available now! smarturl.it/gkmc Music video by Kendrick Lamar performing Swimming Pools (Drank). (C) 2012 Aftermath/Interscope Records
@@staceyrose88 just thought that LMAO remember when i lived in Krakow and my friends went CRAZY about the entire album, buying the actual CD/vinyl whilst they never did so for any new music. Felt like it was like 5 years ago... meanwhile im 31 💀
So, this song says so much to me personally. I became an alcoholic after my wife of 17 years cheated and has a baby by someone else. Finally free of alcoholism I still come listen every now and again.
oh my, im sorry to hear that😔. Its good to hear that u free urself from alcoholism. Stay strong man and keep up, u deserved better than her. Stay safe..
I played this song while makking a report on substance abuse and it literally spoke to me and just made me way more resistant to drugs, alcohol, sex it doesn't only talk about alcohol but general addictions that can ruin your life, this is why i love Kendrick Lamar when he makes music, he makes the morals or meaning of the song so obvious yet so deep, its crazy.
@@Kully_59 yeah my B, there’s plenty of drugs you should never try even once but many people consider marijuana and magic mushrooms to be drugs when they very much have medical and psychological benefits.
And the crazy thing you can make a Argument that it’s the worst song on gkmc not even saying it is or that it’s a bad song just saying gkmc is a top 5 album of all time and not even his best work king Kendrick is goated
It's been 6 years now that I lost the love of my life because of my alcoholic and drug habits at this period of my life. I was into deep struggle and depression, stopped working (I was a pharmaceutical engineer, irony), did some psychiatric hospital... lost all my confidence and didn't know who I was, lost friends, disappointed my parents... Today I'm sober and I'm so proud of me, even if I have ofc regrets about this situation, but I handled it, as I could. This song is just the song of my life. When I started to listen to this song I was beginning the worst, and today I'm listening to it and ending the cycle. It's not about yesterday, not about tomorrow, it's NOW ! Even if you're 6 feet deep, remember, you can do it. So stay blessed. And be aware of your environment. The solution won't come from nowhere, but from yourself. Thank you Kendrick.
I just find it amazing how so many people in the world had this video on their minds as the same time as others. Your comment was written 15 minutes ago and this video is 8 years old. Hip hop never dies!!!!!!!

L-, you good? Yeah, blood, I'm good, Dave, you good? Dave? Dave, say somethin', Dave? These bitch ass niggas killed my brother
I first saw this video in 2012 (BET, 106 & Park) and loved it immediately: I'm now 7 months sober (I became an alcoholic years after this song came out) and more captivated by the song than ever. It's an amazing song in every way, including the one you mentioned.
39-years old here and never listened to Kendrick Lamar before. This song came on during the shuffle and I haven't stopped listening to it. The beat is sooooooooo nice.
People saying Lamar should have won a Grammy, don't realize how the Grammies work. Grammy awards are for cheesy mainstream music or are a popularity contest. Lamar's music is way too specific, serious, and not radio friendly enough to win a Grammy.
This song is about my brother, alcoholic for the last 33 years of his short 47 year old life. I know my brother partied to this song but unfortunately he didn’t get the message. I miss ya bro.
@Actually, Movies in the greater context of the album it's very obviously a criticism; it's treated as a remedy to kendrick's shock after being jumped and his life threatened, and it turns out completely ineffective as shown in kendrick's extremely conscious and alienated tone in the lyrics
@Actually, Movies “some people wanna fit in with the popular, that was my problem” that's an obvious criticism of youth's alcohol abuse when it comes to social interaction, like I said... pay more attention to the lyrics
@Actually, Movies bro its obviously bad. He is talking about it in a bad way. “some people wanna fit in with the popular that was my problem” “if I take another down imma drown in some poison im losing my limit” (or atleast what I think is what he says in that specific verse)
+Felix Hernandez that's so interesting cause I feel the same way. I can't explain what it is about this song but it makes me feel a certain way. I've been trying to find other songs with a similar vibe and have been unsuccessful.
+Doug Staup Move on. Where you were at when this song came out is irrelevant. You're going to die one day and this song will have never mattered to your life or anything else.
Kendrick is a very courageous guy. Often, the curse of the alcoholic is not the alcohol, its the people all around them that pick up and put down a drink without a problem-
@@FRElHEIT exactly. Getting drunk is often glorified by people, when it really just makes you feel good for a few moments until it becomes a terrible experience.
Good way to quit realize that the 2 or so hours of enjoyment isn't worth the 24 hour wasted day the next day when you are sick to your stomach and your brain is fried from withdrawal or poisoning. Hard to get it through your own head when enough times are enough though, power of booze
no, its the alcohol. Its addictive, messes with the reward systems in your brain, destroys your liver as well as the rest of your organs and encourages cognitive decline.
how this underrated i remember every radio station playing this song 24×7 for months, it was everywhere. this song and August Alsina - I Luv This Shit & Drake Hold On, We're Going Home the most played songs in the radio like ..ever it was crazy.
When I first heard it I was in a car with the bass up, and I couldn't understand what he was saying. I thought he was saying "liquor, diiiieee" something or other. Maybe that is kind of the point after all, since it is a song about the dark side of drinking...
Who’s watching in 2024?!! Kendrick Lamar goes in soo hard on this right here! Only reason he is getting more hits is cuz he is just watching that short on my channel explaining how all these rappers out here be blowing up so big

Ironic how this songs message is about Kendrick's demons pushing him to drink.
Yet this song is constantly played at parties.

I like how Kendrick addresses alcoholism and peer pressure on this song , he is not only a great musician but also a role model to look up to.
I first saw this video in 2012 (BET, 106 & Park) and loved it immediately: I'm now 7 months sober (I became an alcoholic years after this song came out) and more captivated by the song than ever. It's an amazing song in every way, including the one you mentioned.
Except that people don't give a fuck and listen to this while getting wasted as fuck (like me).
Missing alcohol right now. The song's grown much more meaningful to be over time.
@@chreen955 Well done mate! 1 week here for me
I love Kendrick because he sends message through his music and videos, instead of talking about drugs and weed and not telling people messages.
Syce I feel u man,when Kendrick Lamar raps he's talking about something that is happening to him.
He's talking about a drug in this song 😐
Sibem no, he's talking about his past where He was peer pressured into drinking alcohol and if he doesn't stop he would pass out and die.
Syce alcohol a drug my guy
Sibem yes but he's not telling people to drink alcohol
I can’t explain the feeling I get from hearing this song every time. So many memories…:(

39-years old here and never listened to Kendrick Lamar before. This song came on during the shuffle and I haven't stopped listening to it. The beat is sooooooooo nice.

Same. Was impressed with the Superbowl performance and here we are.
Listen to the entire 'good kid, m.A.A.d city' album. It is amazing with an well told story and great meanings.

People saying Lamar should have won a Grammy, don't realize how the Grammies work. Grammy awards are for cheesy mainstream music or are a popularity contest. Lamar's music is way too specific, serious, and not radio friendly enough to win a Grammy.
Jason Downs if the Grammies were a popular contest, Beyonce would have won this year instead of Beck.
So?
Christophe Tam
He totally deserves his place on the grammies.
I don't care if he's gay
Christophe Tam they are when it comes to rap, and also how mainstream it is
Kendrick is better than Travis but the kids ain’t ready to talk about it.
They don’t even do same shit😂

This song is about my brother, alcoholic for the last 33 years of his short 47 year old life. I know my brother partied to this song but unfortunately he didn’t get the message. I miss ya bro.

Really sad how this got turned into a drinking song, and so painfully ironic
@Actually, Movies in the greater context of the album it's very obviously a criticism; it's treated as a remedy to kendrick's shock after being jumped and his life threatened, and it turns out completely ineffective as shown in kendrick's extremely conscious and alienated tone in the lyrics
@Actually, Movies it is 100% a clear criticism of the abuse of alcohol lmfao, bro do y'all even listen to the lyrics? Smh
@Actually, Movies “some people wanna fit in with the popular, that was my problem” that's an obvious criticism of youth's alcohol abuse when it comes to social interaction, like I said... pay more attention to the lyrics
@Actually, Movies bro its obviously bad. He is talking about it in a bad way. “some people wanna fit in with the popular that was my problem” “if I take another down imma drown in some poison im losing my limit” (or atleast what I think is what he says in that specific verse)
@Actually, Movies take the L bro

+Doug Staup Move on. Where you were at when this song came out is irrelevant. You're going to die one day and this song will have never mattered to your life or anything else.

Enjoyed this while playing GTA 5
Kendrick is a very courageous guy. Often, the curse of the alcoholic is not the alcohol, its the people all around them that pick up and put down a drink without a problem-
Because I feel shit after drinking thats why I can't become an alcoholic.
I love the effects at first but after a while I get sick.
@@FRElHEIT exactly. Getting drunk is often glorified by people, when it really just makes you feel good for a few moments until it becomes a terrible experience.
Good way to quit realize that the 2 or so hours of enjoyment isn't worth the 24 hour wasted day the next day when you are sick to your stomach and your brain is fried from withdrawal or poisoning. Hard to get it through your own head when enough times are enough though, power of booze
no, its the alcohol. Its addictive, messes with the reward systems in your brain, destroys your liver as well as the rest of your organs and encourages cognitive decline.
Kendrick is one of the most lyrical rappers that tells stories about his life and what happens in compton I love his music
We don’t look for old songs, We look for the memories they carry
more like emotion that they triger. if they do that thats a tune for us.
Agreed..

One in specific 😉😏
When I first heard it I was in a car with the bass up, and I couldn't understand what he was saying. I thought he was saying "liquor, diiiieee" something or other. Maybe that is kind of the point after all, since it is a song about the dark side of drinking...
