wtf is up with that first lady she obviously had a preconceived notion as soon she realized it was rap
Ikr that fucking pissed me off
That's exactly what I was thinking. She reacted negatively to every line like Kendrick didn't just speak some deep shit. Guess it went over her head.
Yeah she was mocking how she think hip hop is. It made me a little angry.
+WaveringTwo No
+Nigel Watson Don't feed the troll
it's sad how quickly they dismiss the lyrics when they realize it's rap...
Alana Vidal exactly that pissed me off so much
Facts
yeah also a lot of them dont understand things like rhyme patterns or schemes this song is so lyrically dense
It's sad because rap is all about lyrics
Only the 1st lady done that.
I dont understand why some ppl are looking down on this song because its rap :/
It's only one person looking down the song because it's rap
+No Name Needed Yeah but still, i wish Sharon would look past that and give the song a chance. Or at least elaborate on why she seems to hate on rap.
+No Name Needed lmaoo right ?
But still she's prejudging the song because it's rap like its about gangsters and stuff
It's just the general stereotypical idea of rap at first from what normally is being released as of today, what the youth is paying attention to. And after hearing this i'm sure they thought completely different about rap.
It's funny cuz the girl that tried to stereotype a guy that Harvard professors regard as being poetically gifted thought she was on her high horse but understood 0% of the song lol
100%. Shes trying to follow the stereotype and after she realizes the actual lyrics and the deepness she tries to criticize it right away just because its rap unlike the others who actually try to understand.
@@hyunseoklee4027 smh man she look like and sound like a karen
When she said “How much a dollar really cost? The question is DENTRIMENTAL, PARALYZING MY THOUGHTS” and continued that fake rap voice I knew it was wraps
@@redknockz454 her name is sharon, which is like a second version of karen
@@redknockz454 fr lol 😂
the first lady is so stereotypical
AyeeEli TV ikr so annoying 😠😠😡
AyeeEli TV FACTS
AyeeEli TV yeah all she saw was the negative side of things. she let her bias control her
AyeeEli TV truu
AyeeEli TV she tried to put in the Tupac voice 😂😂
Y'all don't no nun bout no Kendrick
What you know about Kendrick tho?
Hated the generic gangster rap tone that white lady acted in 😂. Nothing like Kendrick man
Y'all don't no nun bout no proper grammar
Andy Mercado lmao
+JustDontGetIt
they might have not known who Kendrick Lamar is
Or ever heard his music. But they know how to analyze and respect a genius when they notice one
Look How His Lyrics Changed Them. At first They Didnt Take It Serious Then They Changed And Became Willing To Understand
Except that arrogant person in the backwards hat and beard mad annoying
Rodney Butler real talk
some of them mocked it at first, which really bothered me. once they saw how serious and deep the lyrics were becoming they became more captivated. I hope they dont approach rap with that attitude in the future because theres plenty of lyricists that are serious poets
Rodney Butler except that blonde bitch. I try not to be a comment section hater. But she's a bitch. Like she decided from the beginning that she wasn't gonna like it, and didn't even try. If you listen to her arguments against it they are literal nonsense. Also, the guy (how do I describe this in a pc way) who isn't middle eastern, used this as an opportunity to make himself look good at each turn. Going back to the blonde lady, that's what arrogant idiocy looks like, I don't wanna be that guy, but that's what Donald Trump is as well, different side of the same coin. Fuck you blonde lady.
Rodney Butler holy shit
Ur right
woa some of their criticism of kendrick as an artist and a person is baffling. he's a highly influential social and political force, his words are super poignant
Because everyone has there own opinion. It's okay for people to not get down with Kendrick and to criticise his work, that way he can strive to get better and in turn prove his critics wrong.
i know that and i agree- just thought that the way some of them reacted to him was just through that stereotypical lens of 'ooh he's a rapper bitches cars money' and so failed to grasp any of the song's content. just thought it was a shame
+Anna Smith I thought Sharon was the most annoying
+Anna Smith you are totally right!!
Bitches need to bow down to lord K DOT
Exodus 14 is the crossing of the Red Sea. The man could have been on the way to Freedom, already stating he defeated temptation.
Moses was called the most humble man so when he says "A humble man is all we need" he is asking him to act more like Moses because he was all the Israelites needed to escape bondage.
Wow thats cold
These lyrics blow my mufuggin mind
Exodus 14 tells the story of Moses parting the Red Sea, guiding the scared and confused Israelites to safety. This line is a metaphor, describing the power one man can have to lead his people. All we ever need is someone in Kendrick’s position to lead by example.
Moses, a humble man who was old, uncharismatic and a poor public speaker was an unconventional choice to lead God’s people out of Egypt, and initially tried to shirk the job, asking God in Exodus 3:11:
“Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh and bring the Israelites out of Egypt?”
Nevertheless, despite - or perhaps because of - his humility, God chose Moses as the great prophesied leader to deliver the Israelites from slavery. Numbers 12:3 says:
“Now the man Moses was very humble, more than any man who was on the face of the earth.”
- Genius
I've officially forgiven the FineBros because King Kendrick
+joe Ball you used to be a disliker
kendrick is life
True dat
Yup.
+Navi Gill KING KUNTA ...NEGUS!!!!
You could tell Sharon realized it was good after the first 10 lines but was too stubborn to admit it.
Lul
For real dude you talking my feelss 🤝
Sharon thinking she’s intelligent dissing work that is deemed good enough for Harvard’s library
Is this true?
@@dabokuma6995 yeah. I have no reason to make that up
@@dabokuma6995 “to pimp a butterfly” is sure enough in the Harvard library
@@dabokuma6995 look it up “to pimp a butterfly” is archived in harvards library
@@elinefarious3357I mean I’m sure trash like the 1776 Project and White Fragility and How To Be Antiracist is in there too.
Guy drops N bomb three times
“ who do you think write this”
“Idk Macklemore “?
Your gonna make them breakdown a song about not being greedy?
I think you need to break down this song too...
Haha
I was thinking about that whilst watching, I wonder if they're being ironic?
+NYK1015 you obviously haven't read their apology.
+Jordan Yea this is definitely intentional
*You're
Some of them got mad when the bible part came when most of them probably don't read the bible.
Nah Fam most christians don't. Besides cant use the good parts of the bible to make someone do something
Nah Fam true
Nah Fam you might not be understanding as to why they got upset. It wasn't to teach its teachings, it was to make him feel guilty. That's not what the Bible should be used for
I'm an atheist and I thought that line was very clever. Lyrics with bible analogies can be really powerful
Nah Fam and it’s reeally stupid due to Kendrick being a heavy Christian himself
It's sad that this super deep song is being looked over as a stereotypical rap song by these people
It is. I’m gonna comment this again so I’ll at yiu
@@WyWid I can tell you’re trolling 😂
@@WyWid you're dumb if you really think How much a dollar cost isnt a deep song that is very interesting
which ones? because from what I could see only 1 saw it as that and that was at the very start
The bearded guy was very smart and fair
Sharon lives rent free in my head years later. I will be thinking about music or something and the memory of her doing everything she can to miss the point clobbers me right over the head. I bet she's a menace on social media.
It’s infuriating how towards the end she tries to make it seem like she knew more about the song’s meaning than Kendrick himself did. Saying he’s masking an insecurity. Sitting on her moral high horse, feet missing the ground.
@@Quigus Bro exactly. That was the cherry on top of her shit sundae.
😂😂😂
Sharon... Karen... Coincidence? I think not.

Uh, Bernie.....
TPAB was such a dope album

But DOAB
the masterpiece called TPAB is WAAAAAAAY to good for this channel
indeed
K Dot is a lyrical genius
They should've done something heavy like Sing About Me I'm Dying of Thirst or Keisha's Song
lyrical genius is a stretch, but he is a great story teller and great at putting the emotion in his music to give it meaning...Lupe is a lyrical genius, but he doesn't incite the same emotion as kendrick imo...but I hear you.
steelo was
LongLiveSteelo rip steelo, i woulda loved to see kdot and steelo collab

Sharon is one of biggest examples of racism against hip hop. How could you hold such prejudice against a song like How much a dollar cost
Why does Sharon throw her hands and speak like that when she finds out it's rap? This song is genius..... she could never write a song with a powerful message if her life depended on it.
Yes bro it pisses me off so much how she is talking like it’s a joke only because it’s rap 🤦 how idiotic can you be

Exactly
that one lady doesn't understand the message Kendrick is giving out on this track like wtf
are you talking about the white lady?
Yeah
+Omar Cubas pathetic
+Omar Cubas the fucked up part is that she is not trying to understand, she's letting her bias blind her
gemini tricks l
This is by far (least to me) Kendricks best lyrics, the poetry, the constant existencialist crisis, the mix of knowing right from wrong and still choosing to do wrong, religion and ambition, knowing hardship and overcome it to only forget it when someone asked you to be merciful, corruption of the soul because of consumism to ultimately trying to make things write. Long story short I don't know how K.Dot could't make any better than TPAB.
I think the blacker the berry and u are just as good lyrically, but this is his best story to me
The blacker the berry sing about me u duckworth etc you can’t really say by far about any of his songs he has an amazing catalog
This my favorite Kendrick song I also like u
valid but for me it has to be SAMIDOT, u, or FEAR
I love that you featured Kendricks song :D
+Ruud They need to do J. Cole's Lost Ones
+Stanley Pierre c'mon man can't we just be nice... chillax dude. Everything is going to be alright. I am not trying to dis you, but perhaps guide you, and be a nice boy.
+Colton Gates okay
I have heard this song so many times and for the first time i listened to what he was truly saying and im speechless. I love this vid!

It's nice to see how ppl take things in a different way. Even if it's bitter you learn how to know the ppl.
6:05 that shit caught me way off guard wtf😳
Literally same Omfg I went straight to the comments to see if someone time stamped that part 😭
@@taylorlawrence8252same
Looked for this 😂
lmaooo same
No fr like I KNOWW you’re joking sir
Sergio guessin that the man might be Jesus without knowing the song gave me chills
There’s a statue of a homeless Jesus somewhere near the Vatican, perhaps he thought of that?
Now I’d never slap a woman, but if I had 1 free pass I think we’d all have the same answer
Oh yeas that would be great to have that pass
Im all for equality
I love how condescending everyone is when they think it’s rap and to watch that preconceived motion shift before our eyes

Did you get permission from Kendrick Lamar?
+Koochie Koo They always ask for permission before.
+XregularC The person above was being sarcastic
+XregularC But what they might not do is share the money they make with the original content creators. Its still in fair use though since they dont really use the entire clip. Watch Grade a under a. he made a video yesterday about reaction channels
I love GradeAUnderA! He's an awesome UA-camr who says what needs to be said and is funny while doing so.
+Koochie Koo W
You can really hear the hate in the 1st lady’s voice.
Ten Rand (R10) was equavalent to a dollar at that time.
"A homeless man with a sem-tan complexion asked me for R10" (South African currency)

12 - Complexion (Zulu Love) - Coincidence?
From south Africa Johannesburg
In Mortal Man he references Nelson Mandela often as well

KENDRICK was AMAZING at the GRAMMYS!!! Who agrees???
Yes!!!!
8:35 She predicted Kendricks next album
This song once came on in the car and I tried to make my parents listen to it but my dad straight out refused to listen to any rap or hip hop. So instead of having an insightful experience that may have made him think twice about his prejudices towards rap music, I instead got yelled at for the rest of the night and told to "move out of home as soon as I possibly could". :(
Jesus Rodriguez very close-minded
damn your dads y the worlds fucked up
it’s honestly baffling about how people are willing to overlook any sort of skill or creativity because of a genre that’s been stereotyped as club music. have a conversation with them about the boundaries of a genre and the lessons that can be learned from simply trying new things. compare it to being a person who was raised vegan who hates meat because they tried raw chicken nuggets once.
Damn your dad sounds like a toolbag. Hope you’re doing a lot better these past years brother!
Jose Sandoval fr I hope too
6:05 bro said it without a second thought
Wow Sharon went full Karen here. She’s normally one of my favorites.
She does this kinda shit a lot of the times tho, she hates on everything related to rap

When one of the biggest and experienced UA-cam franchises tries to pull stuff like the FineBros did and get caught out it's justifiably hard just to swallow a lame ass offsite written apology and carry on like nothing happened. Note that of all the other UA-cam videos on this there aren't any in the FineBros defense. Why? Because the FineBros deserve the hate! They deserve it! This hate didn't just fall from the sky! Don't be so naive!

I hate that they don’t understand it’s not about the money it’s about an outlook on life it’s not that he’s greedy it’s that he’s giving the same tough love that Kendrick was given to work for everything he’s earned
You know, Sharon really rhymes well with Karen.

Kendrick is probably the best artist of all time, better musician and lyricist than all those "musicians" that these stereotypers listen to

For real, she's the only one that really got it
@@nikpajic what do you mean? The, excuse my assumption, possibly Arab looking guy literally predicted what the end of the song was about after only hearing the first verse lmao
@@aidanfl the song is a poetry. It has a deep message. It’s a lot to unpack under the surface. And she got that, most of these parents/middle aged people didn’t get the message or refused to get it.
@@nikpajic that’s true I just meant that guy seemed to get it as well
@@aidanfl oh sorry I misread that lol, you’re definitely right man
Don't try to win our likes back with Kendrick.
First lady is an actual Karen
I kind of wish they would just play the song with a lyric video because the way Kendrick delivers it is the true genius of it.
6:06 ayo?????
2:28 my mans called it
2mil views 8 comments 😂😂 yea alright
comments were off when this was released. it was recently turned on
We know who Sharon voting for in 2024 😂
this video shows the underlying thoughts about hip hop and rap to me and the lack of respect it receives from the wider community.
"that diddy guy?'' lol
Needs to be a meme
The lyrics explain Kendrick's encountering a moment of divine intervention when interacting with a beggar at a gas station, that is later revealed to be the Messiah in disguise, only after Kendrick, who has achieved great wealth refused to show the beggar kindness by not offering a single bill. The penalty for his lack of empathy is being denied entry into heaven after his death by God himself. I imagine a scenario where Kendrick's character would have had near-death experience shortly after the encounter (perhaps a guilt tripping, rage enthused car accident). He woke up in a hospital surrounded by family, not knowing what happened after the encounter with a second chance to life that set him on a more empathetic path.
Matthew 16:26 (NIV): "What good will it be for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul?"

i’ve been asking myself this same question about half the shit this meathead was saying
Mank she called his lyrics “simplistic” bc she’s too dumb to understand
I like how 4 years later we all come to hate on this lady still. Fuck her. Misunderstanding ass
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
4 years later and this is still the shittiest kendrick lyric review (from Sharon) to one of the best songs he has ever written
Kendrick Lamar is a poet bruh.
Damn they went deep into this
As someone who listened to hip hop their entire lives I can understand why Sharon was dismissive at first when the majority of mainstream hip hop is stereotypical. Once she realized this was a serious song that has a message she calmed down and started to receive it better, even if she didn't fully get the message.
Keep it up likers! We're beating them!
Yeah
i know right
