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
@@Say-Les you'd be surprised by how many people say things like the original commenter here and are still surprised whenever others disagree or are upset
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..
to this date, it's a fucking masterpiece. Can't deny Kendrick Lamar been in his bag since day one, but that HIPVIEWS DAWT CAWM boost is on another level! Dude’s literally unstoppable now. 🔥💥
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!!!!!!!
Kendrick Lamar is going to be studied in 10-20 years. He’s gonna be on the greatest of all time conversation. In my opinion, he was in the GOAT conversation ever since good kid maad city dropped but I’m just gonna leave this here in case someone checks it until then. I’ve never seen an artist like him and yes I’m not including hiphop only.
Agreed on the first part , but there are many equally generational artists out there in their own way , underground , underrated and the popular ones alike
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.
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
I was a summer counselor at Camp Willson when this came out. I remember driving around the site one weekend night in the camps F250 stocking firewood and being blown away by the production of this.... every time i hear it now i can close my eyes and travel back to 2012
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.

@@Conkerkid11 well no shit it’s increased, ridiculous lockdowns for a virus with a 99.9 percent chance of survival, a president no one voted for, communist clowns in every position of power across the entire world, a war on freedom and humanity. And you wonder why people are resorting to alcohol as a means of escaping?
Listening to the extended version hits diff, understanding it all makes me come back and listen to it all the time. Always will have respect for K-Dot. 💯🙏
I had a very bad drinking problem too. Would listen to this song not knowing how to deal with it. Now been sober for more than 2 years and I come back to this song as a "damn good reminder" of my past as you put it. Cheers ✌

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.
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 banger came out when I was in 9th grade. I had no clue at the time it would have such a huge impact on rap in general. I love listening and studying how Kenny writes his verses and hooks, its just so to the point and impactful. Like every word is delivered with precision. What a skill to possess as a rapper. This is definitely a dream collaboration for me if I ever gain any sort of traction. But even if I never do, I feel blessed just to listen to this mans music. What an icon

@@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 💀
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.
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.
Coming Back To This Banger Kendrick Lamar will always keep throwin viral because of i) his voice ii) he is byin vews fram *HIPVIEWS DAWT CAWM* iii) fans like me
All the pre-pandemic songs hit so fucking different. Think about it - there are kids alive right now who can't even remember a world without COVID and the pandemic
+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.
This is probably atleast one of the best kendricks songs. Bro, headphones, 75% sound, close your eyes or look at the video, its a whole another feeling. Like you become- Free. You feel like something else. While the Chorus mostly tho. But the whole song is CRAZY And each part has a meaning. The starting like, Chorus or whatever, circulating over drink and not being able to stop. Then the family history with drink and the things that made you become an alcoholic. Then Kendricks story with it, then the Bigger chorus about the guy telling him to drink more is as far as ive got it abt peer influence of a man that parties and has a "Pool full of Liquor". Hes telling Kendrick zo drink more. Then Kendricks conciousness telling him he cant take no more, that if he does, He'l become history. And more of Kendricks story. Thats as far as ive undrestood it, and the writing is Realy good. A bit poetic too. Like, its not ur usual gangsta rapper talking about killing and sex(not telling those types of songs are bad but less deep, they have less personal meaning.) Anyway, ba-bye. This songs perfect💯
@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)
It's a shame the single version is shortened. The final verse after this is so powerful and really helps convey the meaning of the song for all the people who don't actually understand what Kendrick is saying here.
Back in 2013 I was 11 years old and didn’t understand English good enough to even nearly understand the lyrics and even the general topic of this song. I always thought it was some sort of easy-going party song. I’m 19 now and now fully understand that it is a song about addiction, hope, love and life itself. Amazing. Kendrick Lamar is an incredible musician and lyricist.
I’m two years sober now, this song means something different now that I’m in a different place in my life but it still hits. When I was younger the chorus hit more, now I’m older the verses hit more. Crazy how time flies, wonder where I’ll be in two more years.
I remember when my boys and I were learning how to shoot videos… we heard Swimming pools and lost our fuckin minds… we got so fuckin lucky growin through the 90s going on to the generation of Kendrick onwards… we are the luckiest fuckers ever… and we are from the fucking UK of all places! Thank you lord!

My 18 year old is obsessed with this song
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.
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
This banger came out when I was in 9th grade. I had no clue at the time it would have such a huge impact on rap in general. I love listening and studying how Kenny writes his verses and hooks, its just so to the point and impactful. Like every word is delivered with precision. What a skill to possess as a rapper. This is definitely a dream collaboration for me if I ever gain any sort of traction. But even if I never do, I feel blessed just to listen to this mans music. What an icon
Excellent expository !
Give eminem a listen
I was in the 9th grade too!

This is probably atleast one of the best kendricks songs. Bro, headphones, 75% sound, close your eyes or look at the video, its a whole another feeling. Like you become- Free.
You feel like something else. While the Chorus mostly tho. But the whole song is CRAZY
And each part has a meaning. The starting like, Chorus or whatever, circulating over drink and not being able to stop. Then the family history with drink and the things that made you become an alcoholic. Then Kendricks story with it, then the Bigger chorus about the guy telling him to drink more is as far as ive got it abt peer influence of a man that parties and has a "Pool full of Liquor". Hes telling Kendrick zo drink more. Then Kendricks conciousness telling him he cant take no more, that if he does, He'l become history. And more of Kendricks story. Thats as far as ive undrestood it, and the writing is Realy good. A bit poetic too. Like, its not ur usual gangsta rapper talking about killing and sex(not telling those types of songs are bad but less deep, they have less personal meaning.) Anyway, ba-bye.
This songs perfect💯

Syce I feel u man,when Kendrick Lamar raps he's talking about something that is happening to him.

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.

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)
