FrankJavCee Man, I fucking love your channel and thats exactly what I was thinking. I hope you release some more tracks on that streaming service Tradio man!
hey frank ;))))
real shit.
Lol
Hi Frank. Didn't know you were a Kendrick fan! Love your music btw
His face smushed on the window in priceless 😂😂😂
*THIS*
*DICK*
*AIN'T*
*FREE*
When I first watched this that caught me off guard and I died laughing 😂
Mindofamango When lil 6 year old kids hear the ice cream truck coming
0:50 or 0:49 your welcome 🙏🏾
*is ☝️
At 1:21 Kendrick says “Matador matador knock and let him in” and as soon as he says that you can hear the drummer hit the snare about 5 times to resemble the knocking of a door. Absolutely genius.
Matador means killer in spanish so"killer killer knock and let him in"
"Matador matador had the door knocking let him in..."*
Those little nuances in the album are what really makes it great.
That's simply the essence of Jazz right there, conversation.
Literally never noticed this, incredible
This could never be boring.
Just gay af, annoying af, and no one Comin back playin this/ bumpin this down the road.. ever lol
Nope, just music for weirdos.
@@smoothsavage2870@chrisfrank8564 nope, music for ppl who know it’s an INTERLUDE and get he’s being silly and playing on the theme of jazz music by mimicking a stereotypical slam artist but still spitting about what he meant by the track name before it “Wesley’s theory”.
@@chrisfrank8564I still bumping it 🔊
@@rtoriq this the best song on the album
Lol Kendrick is having so much fun with this 🤣🤣 "HAeeelll FUcciN NaaaAAAAAhhhww"
Ck
Hahahahaha best part ever 😂
This is sounds a lot like a DJ Quik
I swear that’s my favorite part💀
this shit takes me out all the time
Love how animated kendrick acts in the video lol
he should be in a movie
KSChrome XD right
I guess
By the time
All i learnt from it is Kendrick is EVERYWHERE and you cant escape him
I literally hate how underrated this song is, do yall know how hard it is to rap over a jazz beat?!?
Hes making as instrument. Dude is fucking genius
This isn’t rap this is spoken word
His cadence is ridiculous. It's spoken rap cuz he does have a pocket and flow with this joint
@@dboii9741well it has a rythm and rhymes so its rap
Dude should win a Nobel Prize for Literature on this shit. Fucking deepest track I’ve ever heard. Kendrick is not only peers with Tupac; he’s peers with Langston. He’s one of the greatest American authors in history. Can’t believe I got to stumble over this song five years ago and catch that something special was going on and look deeper. Wow.
I genuinely believe he will win the Nobel for Literature once he's older. I mean, Bob Dylan already did it. The thing is you usually don't win Nobels for a single project, but rather your lifes work.
I would bet a 1.000 dollars he will win one someday if he keeps dropping classics.
Factsss
He got a Pulitzer, so maybe next he could get a Nobel.
@@springy64svideodump64 Still pisses me off it went to damn, to pimp a butterfly shoulda got it.
i genuinely can't tell if this is sarcasm or not 😭😭
"I'ma get my uncle Sam to fuck you up you ain't no king! "
That shit so powerful
I dont understand the saying...
+Rmo balk It's saying how America tries to keep minorities, especially Black people in this case, from rising to power, politically, emotionally, and physically. When she refers to Uncle Sam, it's referring to the government and institutionalized racism tactics.
Or, at least, I guess.
+dfjr1990 especially the fact that it then leads to King Kunta
+Glen “PhoenixKId” Oliver i thinks its about people who complains about racism but actually..there is none
+Michael Jason “oops” Seibert That's another issue entirely, but you can't just generalize and say there is NO racism
I love how his rapping almost seems to take the place of some instrumental solo (say, another saxophone or something) in a jazz quartet or quintet. Like, his lyrics are so tight, it's the vocal equivalent of shredding.
Kendrick's such a genius.
Trying to keep up with him is ridiculous I dont think any other rapper in the world could do this shit
That is an absolutely amazing insight. I absolutely understand what you mean especially when he sped up at the end, on par with the other musicians becoming more spastic and visceral.
AMEN, you are totally right. His voice is like a wind instrument flowing and improvising.
Very well said
No son, no
This is hard for jazz musicians. The time signatures and phrases are expert level. This is not every day shit. When I first hear this, I tried mapping this interlude out on a trip to Atlanta in high school. It’s honestly what got me into the artistry of rap. I’ve been a die hard prog metal kinda guy. This hit me like a freight train.
Respect
Jazz is scary by itself but this level of jazz is like the final boss of a musicians career.
0:50 K-Dot just brought back one of my childhood memories I used to do for fun on screen doors 😂
makes me laugh every time I see it for some reason
I cannot watch Kendrick Lamar smush his face against the screen and NOT laugh my ass off.
and the smile he gives when hes uncle sam
INVICTUS 😂 same i changed my profile pic to it
Dylan Monarch yes I thought I was alone 😂😂😂😂
INVICTUS I am choking from laughing at that part.
INVICTUS nigga my sides hurt I was laughing so damn much!😂
Making a ratchet conversation into a jazz-hop song. Genius.
maybe a little symbolism in there too, idk
@@joshuaflackua A lot of symbolism in there
It’s not a ratchet conversation, I think you need to relisten to the song a few times. :)
Overlord Ghs YES I KNOW THE SONG I MEAN ITS LOGICAL AND EVERYTHING BUT THE VIBES ESPECIALLY IM THE START YES I GET IT
That's not genius by any standards.
bro rapping over on 1920s jazz and STILL HITS HARD, crazy how this is only an interlude 😭
"We Cry Together" reminded me of this track.
ikr
Yaeh
MM&BS was a compilation of his whole work.
expect completly different messages
in the school toilets i wrote on the wall “what’s a good song?” an the next day someone replied with this, tbh they right
no
thats the best nickname ever. it's like a joke making machine haha (working joke machine at that hauahau)
R/thathappened
Lol thats cool
And here I thought only rappers snitch on themselves
"I'm making get my Uncle Sam to fuck you up, you ain't no king."
That's some deep shit there.
Not to mention that King Kunta is the next song on the album right after she says you aint no king lol.... Very clever stuff.
Wait, what's yalls interpretation of that?
to me prolly some type law thing that makes him pay her
I didnt even put two and two together until I watched the video.
@@LonelyHeartsHarley This is old but since no one's given a full answer I think it mostly comes down to how the US demonizes black men/people and seeing a black man succeed within the system will try to villainize him. Also how he doesn't live up to the expectations of what it means to be a successful black man, to 'look down on the caterpillar', the people you come from, and how america tries to bring him down to the level of making him demonize the community that made him but he refuses to. At least my two cents coming from the rest of the album.
That's one of the hardest rythms to rap to, and still he made it sound sick. Kendrick is a genius.
0:56 I'll leave this here for personal use
I'll use this too if you don't mind
His face against the door is hilarious, this is the most drunk I’ve ever seen Kendrick.
Go listen to God is gangsta
same here!!! i have been wheezing ever since i knew about this video hahaha
And that little walk oh his lmao
you not seen god is gangsta/u music video?
aint even acting drunk wdym
1:53 is a flow we'de never seen before. Seamlessly transitioning from on the beat to off beat syncopation.
You've never hear R.A. The Rugged Man?
that was incredible
It's not on and off beat he emphasizes on the upbeat then the downbeat but always on beat

This is one of Kendrick’s best songs. This song singularly pushed the boundaries of rap further than almost any other song since probably the 90s. Amazing. I hope his next record has more music like this in it
2:10 Wow, they really got Kendrick, Kdot, Kung Fu Kenny, oklama and Mr Morale all together

Yo can Kendrick like be in a movie or something? He'd be an amazing actor hes so hilarious and animated in this vis

He did guest star on an episode of Black-ish.

This is freaking jazz hip hop! Great!

There is a lot of jazz hip hop on UA-cam.
ever heard of a tribe called quest?

I wouldn't say Kendrick is rapping in this song. It's more spoken word, basically slam poetry over jazz.

Randomly coming across this comment five months later at 12:04 am and literally laughing out loud, well done.
A man of the culture
The song certainly is lighthearted and comedic at times but a lot of you guys are missing the deeper messages here regarding things like the government and the music industry. It's genius honestly.
***** A lot of it is the music industry and government as well though which is why there's the character of the Uncle Sam. He makes reference to this as well in the album's previous track, Wesley's Theory with lines like "Uneducated, but I got a million-dollar check like that" or really the entire second verse regarding Uncle Sam and how artists are almost tricked into going broke since they aren't taught how to handle their money. The last line as well of the song as Kendrick has "Tax man coming" repeating over and over. This tracks goes further into those same points while showing Kendrick's resilience to not be "pimped" by the music industry or the government. Everything regarding the girl is a parallel to the music industry and government in fact(shown by how she says "I'm gonna call my Uncle Sam to fuck you up") and while "This dick aint free" has an obvious and literal meaning, it also refers to Kendrick refusing to sell himself away.
The government and the music industry benefits when an artist is spending all his money on things like gold chains or cars and eventually go broke. A lot of this track and the album as a whole deal with how Kendrick has to avoid the temptations and demons that come with the fame and how they will eventually destroy you.
***** I'm really not. He has explained a lot of this stuff himself and you could go on Rap Genius if you wanted to and check the annotations on the lyrics there as well. This is one of the most lyrically and conceptually dense records in years.
***** So you're disregarding lines like "40 acres and a mule not a 40 ounce and a pitbull" and "Oh America, you bad bitch, I picked cotton that made you rich"?
***** There's a literal meaning which is regarding the girl but most are unaware of the songs deeper lying meaning which is all I was trying to convey. Very little on To Pimp A Butterfly should be taken at face value, it's incredibly dense lyrically and conceptually.
👌
Kendrick will go down as the best ever poetry at its finest
Had to come back to this after we cry together 😂😂😂
"I heard this and thought 'Is this garbage, or is this genius?' And it only took one more listen to figure out, yeah, it's genius."
The needle drop
+Whatthefuck Whtff well"
+The Shiny Haxorus Nah, it's garbage.
***** Well I didn't think you would care...
***** No probs !
Kendrick is dope, who even makes a crazy jazz shit like Jaco pastorius Crisis and raps and still sound gangsta.
This sounds does not sound the least bit gangsta
nobody nigga this is crazy gansta shit
Turcios3000 Yeah, hes saying this dick aint free, that gangsta shit. What else is it, pop, rock jazz, naah it`s gangsta vocals on some psycho jazz music shit. Are they even listenin to the lyrics...
Johnny Dutch exactly
Johnny Dutch real black men that's who
And this. this masterpiece. is an interlude. every single song from that album is just magnificent
We cry together reminded me of this
I am in no way an expert, but for anyone looking for a little insight on the song:
The “ghetto” girl at the beginning is supposed to be America. That’s why she says stuff like “walking around like you God’s gift to earth. Nigga you ain’t shit!” And “you ain’t even buy me an outfit for the 4th!” (4th of July).
Black people in recent years have been incredibly more proud of their culture and have been uplifting themselves constantly. Especially with people changing the names of holidays like a Columbus Day to Indigenous People’s Day and things of that nature, America has had enough with black people empowering themselves, and so she is angry and asks why the black man hasn’t bought an outfit for the 4th of July, or been spending their money constantly. That’s why Kendrick says things like “this dick ain’t free! ...I need 40 acres and a mule (which former slaves were promised but never received) not 40 ounces and a pit pull, bullshit”
And that is why at the end, America says “imma get my Uncle Sam to FUCK you up!”
For those that don’t know, Uncle Sam is the personification of taxes in America, and so America is saying that they’ll make sure to screw over the black population any way it can.
Not just the personification of tax but of capitalism itself. He's also talking about the exploitation of the working class in general.
isn't uncle sam the person that iconic person on pictures that recruite for the army?
@@callmezagh3884 Uncle Sam is America's mascot. It represents the two great facets of the US: capitalism and imperialism.
Thank you as a non american I was kinda lost
Didn't she supposed to be Lucy?
This "bad bitch" is the American dream Personified and in the video he is chasing it. Kendrick is a genius.
Mahmoud Sekeen It's deeper than that, the female represents America aka "She" or "Her" and how she has all these demands placed on the blackman, wanting things for free as if it were 500 yrs ago. That's the reason for the lines "You didn't even buy me no outfit for the 4th" which is America's offical b-day, "Imma get my Uncle Sam to fuck you up! You ain't no King!" Uncle Sam IRS or any branch of the armed services. Every chance and angle, America is demeaning and hateful towards the blackman, always trying to keep him down.
Kendrick is the voice for the blackman saying "this dick ain't free" no more, futher saying I'm staring to awaken to who I am, I know who you are and I know my worth so this "dick", this blackman will never be free for your enjoyment or America's self gain ever again.
Sidenote: America's greatest nightmare and greatest fear is the rise of the blackman, Him chasing Her around in the video, She is terrified, only to go outside and find more Kendrick's.
He ain't even chasing. He's saying "No more extorting me, pimping me, forcing these conventional ideas of success on me. let me teach you a lesson and you're gonna pay me what I deserve"
This one deserved a Grammy
cmon, its the worst song of all time
@@gorillachamp5271ur joking lol
@@gorillachamp5271 two options with your goofy comment, opt1: you’re baiting. Or opt2: you don’t understand the song and are too lazy to even read the lyrics.
hello im goofy and you summoned me by calling me in a comment. First of all, the song doesnt sound good not like at all, "this d ain't free" gets rather really annoying and repetitive and its corny sounding shall i say, 2nd yo shoes raggidy 3rd yo music taste is dead as hel. 4th The song is just a mess the jazzy sounds with the fast rap doesnt just simply doesnt sound good, but dont get me wrong i like some of the songs in the album called "tpab" but i prefer kendricks album that came out before "tbap". Same goes with the latest album that came out in 2022 that was just a mess like this, but the other projects sounds beautiful. "why hate kendrick" "L taste" "lil peep is prolly your fav artist" No, not really. My faves are for example: Pink Floyd, Kendrick Lamar, Björk, Travis Scott it depends on the mood, thank you for watching till the next time👊🫵💪 *npc outro song* @@tn-fw9lx

+pennywiser if you feel this way toward kdot then why are you even looking at this video
to open the eyes of the blind. because I'm tired of hearing how he is the best rapper/MC/lyricist. Just cus he does concious rap doesn't mean he is the best.

Literally gives me chills every time I listen to it. One of the best pieces of poetry I've ever heard
What the hell was Kendrick thinking making this song???? I can’t rap this word for word without damn near passing out. GOAT enough said
I fucks with how Kendrick can go from something so powerful and serious like Alright to something more humorous and lighthearted like with For Free here.
Im still waiting for that short film to Mortal Man or a video for Institutionalized tho.
He should just make a short movie (like Kanye RUNAWAY) for Section 80, GKMC and TPAB basically lol
kobron1559 As much as i would fucking love that it's probably not gonna happen
Yesssss that's what I'm saying . I wanna see what he gone do w/ Mortal man . And he really should do a mini movie for TPAB like nicki did for pink print ...
He should make one for "how much a dollar cost" that would be crazy
I get that the video isn't exactly dark in tone but the subject matter couldn't be more serious

I love how this is a commentary on so many things, but one that is missed often is it’s speaking on black art. “This Dick Ain’t Free” is a great line to speak about how black art, black skill, and the skills of all POC have been taken advantage of and stolen. He’s standing up for his right to fair compensation, standing up and saying he deserves to be goddamn paid, and paid well, for his work.
It also, more simply, is mentioning how the minorities of America aren’t free. But yeah, many layers.
Interesting how you were able to co-opt "black" people (more specifically ADOS) by using POC interchangeable, quite disgusting.
@@KN-wb6un ???? I said “all POC” to refer to ALL POC, not just black people. I was very clear in making those two distinct. Stop doing BS keyboard warrior shit and learn to read.
@@KN-wb6un what are you talking about?
@@KN-wb6un shut up
@KN-wb6un they did not, they said that black people were mistreated in addition to all people of color, if they used it interchangeably they would say “black skill, and all black skill” they tried to “ in addition to black people getting there skills taken advantage of, so have all POC” which can be very obviously interpreted by reading it once and I should not have to spell it out for you.
My goodness I came back to tpab after 7 years and holy hell. It’s incredible how Kendrick raps over such a fast and speedy jazz track that it sounds like scat almost to where he just rides the beat.
"hell fucking nahhh" I'm dead💀
jawad sheeheed ikt
Hilarious video. Kendrick really is on another level. Winning on all aspects.
KolydoscopeMusic It is not Hilarious he is passing an important message.
Noel Collins He can do that and have the video be hilarious, you know?
Noel Collins, a lot of people may not understand this but Kendrick combines a lot of humour with his work, it's part of what makes him so great.
There is a LOT of humour on To Pimp A Butterfly that a lot of people don't pick up on.
Look at the hyperbolic funk/jazz sampling and Climpton and Thundercats presence on the record, it's great music but it's also a little bit tongue in cheek.
Matthew Robinson this video represents him as his favorite childhood cartoon character buggs bunny, he always wanted to be smart and witty just like him. He also wanted the ability to "pop up on yo punk ass" at any time xD
KolydoscopeMusic indeed my brother
Such amazing energy in this song

Kendrick is winning the drake vs meek mill beef.

***** Nah Charlie Clips winning

***** Drake is running the game without a doubt, but Kendrick is the best artist without a doubt.
***** Kendrick doesn't need a fuckin ghostwriter lol
When the interlude is more lyrical and creative than some rapper's careers.
One time i was on an airplane sleeping and was listening to tpab. My volume was pretty high and the beginning of this song scared tf out me and woke me up and gave me a whole anxiety attack💀💀

Rap and Jazz are unquestionably determined to work together
Listen to some Digable planets, Roots or Gangstar....they used to do heavy fusions of jazz and hip-hop back in the 90s...
Rap came from jazz so yeah
Damian Privat Both are Black expression.
Check some Saba songs
Mainly PROM // KING
A Tribe Called Quest also makes some amazing jazz rap, especially so on the Low End Theory.
To Pimp A Butterfly was one of those albums where you first listen to it and don't really enjoy it as much as you thought you were going to because you don't get the message but because you know the artist is trying to portray a message you give the album more and more listens which helps you gradually understand the artist's message behind the album more. Then a few months later you're calling it one of your favourite albums of the year because you can now see and understand the message behind the album well enough to enjoy the album and applaud you how smart the artist was in creating this masterpiece.
Yes! I feel bad for those who don't take the time to appreciate.
Rj Stylezz I'm one of those who got what he was talking about from the jump. I didn't get all the minor details at the start but I understand the big picture he's painting. I'm glad that even if you didn't get it the first time you stood around and tried to figure it out. Open-minded people usually do that and they're usually the best. (in my opinion XD) =D

Those fucking lyrics and the story with that beat? Insane. Add the visual elements in the music video and you have a fucking top level piece of art. This can never have too much attention.
One of my favorite songs by him. Just so funny and descriptive. Amazing
Drake could never spit something like this over a beat like this. Truly unique in his generation.

“Need 40 acres and a mule not a 40oz and a pit bull” damn hell of a bar.
This is literally one of my favorite songs on the album, something bout the groovy jazz type instrumental in the background combined with the hilarious lyrics I love it sm
"Pitty the Fool that made the prettier you prosper." Every time I listen I get a new bar. The depth of this song is as deep as the Atlantic. Comparing having to satisfying a "bad bitch" to America's relationship with its shamed bread winner, the black community, is something I didn't get on the first 100 listens. The GOAT.

To Pimp a Butterfly is so amazing I wonder why it wasn't the first of his albums to win a Pulitzer.
