Some things you missed out on: GKMC opens with Compton. While this one took me a while to figure out, in the Compton skit he borrows his moms car, but is later picked up in the white toyota with his crew. This is evident at the end of TAOPP when one of his homies says "Drop K. Dot off at his momma van, at the park" rather than at his moms house like you stated. Kendrick does get passed the laced blunt at the end of peer pressure, his homies thought it had coke it in but it was PCP. This is evident in the skit nearing the end of TAOPP "K. Dot, you faded, hood?...I think he hit the wrong blunt though" The skit at the end of Money Trees happens AFTER Sherane, and likely after m.A.A.d city despite Money Trees taking place directly after TAOPP. We know this because in the skit ending Sherane his dad is still sober enough to ask about his damn dominos, but in the skit at the end of money trees he isn't. Additionally his mom in the Money Trees skit talks about rescheduling the appointment made in the Sherane skit. As I'm listening through the video I know you think money trees happens after sherane, but it likely happens directly after TAOPP, evident in the line "hit the house lick tell me are you with it ya bish" I thought it was interesting you placed poetic justice AFTER Sherane, as most people place it between TAOPP and SHERANE (typically TOAPP, Money Trees, Poetic Justic, Sherane, mAAd City, swimming pools). I tend to think of poetic justice as a reflection on sherane on the drive over there, and the skit happens DURING sherane but was placed out of order to make the album more interesting. It is possible to split Sing about me, I'm drying into thirst into two songs (Im dying of thirst or the second part/sing about me or the first part). When done in this order it can work out chronologically that dave is killed in Swimming Pools, the homies get baptized and kendrick reflects in mortality "Dying of thirst" Daves brother discusses going back in Dying of thirst skit ("we right here on the block, my n****!") (this skit actually should be placed DIRECTLY after Swimming Pools) Dying of thirst plays through to the baptism, then back to Sing about me where we hear the phonecall from daves brother and the gunshots represent him going back for vengeance and getting shot. Ultimately Compton can't come last because he asks to borrow the car at the end, unless you separate the skits from the song as I have done for money trees and poetic justice. Also, I have a supercut of GKMC in the order ive described, excluding good kid.
Lots of cool stuff to think about! I definitely thought that the skit at the end of Compton counts as its own distinct return to the beginning of the album regardless of the song it's attached to, but I think that placing Compton in the chronology of events is less important to the album since no events really happen in that song on particular. In terms of theming, however, I think that it makes sense to have Compton at the end as having Kendrick celebrate where he's from at the end of his journey. I think the message of the song would be strange having it come from the immature KDot from the start of the album, but that's just me
@@abhinv9920 Denzel Curry (Zel for short) ;) Who is definitely on y top 10 rappers alive list. I made a video about Denzel's album Taboo, and it's one of my favorites I've ever made for this channel (and it's to this day my editor's fav for sure)
How is this video still under 100,000 views?? Just know that although it’s not many views, this video is greatly appreciated by those who have found it!
the remix of dont kill my vibe (with jayZ) also fits the narrative!!! its reinforcing kdot's celebration of his new life (especially since hes using the same agressive inflection and simple brag raps from the backseat freestyle and the fact he mentions being "16" which is what his age is on the album). it's also literally just reprise of the first song of the whole story. also, just like in compton, the story is repeating itself. also "dont kill my vibe" is literally him taking his father's words to heart. the violin solo is honestly the perfect way to end everything either way!! good video
First of all, your video is just a masterclass on breakdown and analysis of perhaps the greatest album ever made on the history of music. The amount of time you must've taken to write such an in depth look into every song and it's chronology within the storytelling element of the album is just amazing. I know I'm late but i still think you deserve the props for this. This album is just something out of this world, we really don't deserve it. Kendrick is not even my favorite rapper, but i recognize the greatness of this album and it truly touched me in a way no album has done before, and that's why is my favourite. I found your video searching on someone else's perpective on the album after listening to it for the 100th time on a late night i feel like, and man you gave me just what i wanted. Subscribed and i hope to see you grow.
This was great!! It’s always so refreshing to see someone put in the work and analysis into a piece of art that you love :) You did a great job and I hope to see more videos like this from you in the future 👍🏽
Wow, I was listening to this album trying to figure out the story and it was hard because it wasn’t in order. This explanation helps a lot and helps me understand this master piece better.
I thought the whole getting jumped was a hallucination because he hit PCP by accident (explained in peer pressure) and the gangsters words are distorted and trippy on m.A.A.d City. Thats what I got from it
While I think that it's definitely possible the the distorted words are the result of the drugs K Dot has consumed, I doubt that the whole interaction with Sherane's cousins was a hallucination (if that's what you were suggesting). The reason being that K Dot thus wouldn't have a reason to meet up with his bros and get revenge on anyone in the final act, and the framing of the narrative does seem to suggest that he has indeed been wronged by them). That's just my takeaway though--thanks for sharing your thoughts :)
I have greatly considered it :) Comments like these can often be motivators for what I work on next, so I'll keep this in mind when I'm done with my next batch of scripts
figuring out the storyline on my own is pretty difficult thanks 4 explaining a lot, i'll keep everything here in mind on my next listen ((: i hope u make more vids about music/hip-hop
I wish you had provided some examples of the different rap artists of the early to mid 90s that you say rapped about wealth and the hi-lifestyle. I can think of a couple examples of east coast rap expressing these points of view during that era but not a lot. I’d hardly say it was at the forefront of the east coast style back then. It did become the focus of a lot of east coast rap in the late 90s with the rise of Puff Daddy and his crew, but in the early 90s it was a lot more about self empowerment and positivity behind artists like KRS One, Tribe, and De La Soul, artists who were supportive of the whole Stop the Violence movement. Then east coast rap veered into more of a street crime focus with artists like Wu Tang, Mobb Deep, and Nas as it moved into the mid 90s. The music became the music version of a Scorsese film. I’d love to hear your thoughts on which rap groups portrayed the “I’m rich, b1tches!” style you mention near the beginning of your essay. 9:38 At the time West Coast rap was seen as the materialistic overly produced style of music compared to the raw, barebones sound of the East Coast. When you compare what was popular coming from the West, Dr. Dre, Snoop, Warren G, even Tupac, the East saw West Coast rap about parties and women and weed as overly produced with too much style and too little substance. While the East Coast sound at the time was very raw and gritty, focussing on the trife-life and the struggle of the New York bourrows. Listen to the 2 producers with the most clout at the time, Dr. Dre WC and DJ Premier EC, and you’ll instantly hear this very dichotomy. Common and NWA never had rap beef. NWA broke up in 1991 and Common only released his first single in 1992. He was in a group that opened for NWA, but there was no beef. Common went solo and released I Used To Love her in 94 and got into rap beef with Ice Cube, who had left NWA years prior. 9:52 WestSide Slaughterhouse was a track by Mac 10 and not NWA who had separated years earlier. 9:59
Poetic justice is also an entire double about the listener can accomplish his dreams and should look in the mirror and see their own worth. And that double entendre is the “poetic justice” that Kendrick knows the listener wants. “You can get it you can get” “And I know just know just what you want poetic justice put it in a song”
I am currently on a binge of all of your videos, I started with the Denzel Curry vide and now I am unable to stop. I wish that 2021 gives you the views and subscribers that you deserve!
I don't know if it's just me, but I always got the impression that the album is told backwards, not through different fragments. The most obvious example being Sherane, since it's the big "event" that the whole album is building up towards. Kendrick is partying with his friends, ignoring his mother's warnings, and then ultimately arrives to see Sherane.
I personally don't see how that could possily be the case. It's pretty evident that KDot gets beaten by Sherane's cousins at the end of th first song, but then the end of M.A.A.D City makes a reference to the fact that KDot has already been beaten up. Do feel free to talk me through how you interpreted the album order though, as I'm geniunely curious
@stantheman3213 No mate, in chronological order Sherane is after poetic justice, the sound that you hear in the beginning of the song (after the prayer) is the same sound you hear before the final skit of poetic justice, makind the connection of K-Dot seeing two homies with black hoodies (Sherane) and them talking to Kendrick inside the van like “imma tell you where im from, you re gonna tell me where you from” (Poetic Justice), its like a flashforward. K-Dot causes poetic justice to himself by getting jumped (maybe because of his lifestyle at that time, sex, drugs, alcohol, robbery, murder, etc)
Awesome insight on my favorite album of the 2010's!! You absolutely made your case in the interpretation of good kid, m.A.A.d. city with a combination of light-hearted visuals and meticulous commentary. However, there are quite a few of your interpretations on the story that are flawed in my opinion. Among other aspects I won't mention for the sake of brevity, I disagree with the chronological order of the story that you proposed. I especially disagree with the positioning of Money Tress after m.A.A.d city and before Swimming Pools because Money Trees is about choices, but most importantly about Kendrick and his homies thinking that they might be very rich if they pursue burglary as a career after successfully pulling off one in The Art of Peer Pressure. With that being said, the accurate order of the story, from my point of view, is the following: 1. Compton 2. Bitch, don't kill my vibe 3. Backseat Freestyle 4. The Art of Peer Pressure 5. Money Trees 6. Poetic Justice 7. Sherane a.k.a. Master Splinter's Daughter 8. good kid 9. m.A.A.d city 10. Swimming Pools 11. Sing about me, I'm dying of thirst 12. Real Ps: I completely lost it when you put the "ain't nobody got time for that" woman and the black oil guy as K-Dot's parents😂. In any case, you earned a new sub!
Glad you enjoyed the video :) Money trees is always a hard one to pin down, and I could absolutely see your order making sense (even though I still think Poetic justice should come after Sherane). Hope you enjoy the rest of the stuff I've got on this channel (my analysis of Denzel Curry's Taboo is one of my favourite videos)
really great video. good catch on the sti in money trees, i never thought much of those lines only 1 point i disagree with and thats when you said "kdot said that he's tired of running" i believe this is actually dave's brother saying this line in the skit, after saying he's tired of running he says "my brother homie" and also throughout the album we never hear kdot speak in any of the skits otherwise really good analysis
Thanks for pointing that out--definitely an error on my part. Heck, if you caught that mistake, it means you stuck around until the very end of a 20 minute analysis video, which is truly humbling--you have my sincerest thanks.
Personally I think To Pimp A Butterfly is better to me and to a scale of 1-10 I think it’s so easy it’s just a ten and will be a landmark in rap albums. Good Kid m.A.A.d City to me is a 9/10, I think Kendrick personally is the best rapper of our generation and the most consistently good rapper out of any rapper right now, but I do agree with this video
His “if I killed somebody at 16, would you believe me” he’s saying he’s responsible for the death of Dave (his friend that died in the car).
OMG This Deserve So Much More Views

Great Video bro
Awesome insight on my favorite album of the 2010's!! You absolutely made your case in the interpretation of good kid, m.A.A.d. city with a combination of light-hearted visuals and meticulous commentary.
However, there are quite a few of your interpretations on the story that are flawed in my opinion. Among other aspects I won't mention for the sake of brevity, I disagree with the chronological order of the story that you proposed. I especially disagree with the positioning of Money Tress after m.A.A.d city and before Swimming Pools because Money Trees is about choices, but most importantly about Kendrick and his homies thinking that they might be very rich if they pursue burglary as a career after successfully pulling off one in The Art of Peer Pressure. With that being said, the accurate order of the story, from my point of view, is the following:
1. Compton
2. Bitch, don't kill my vibe
3. Backseat Freestyle
4. The Art of Peer Pressure
5. Money Trees
6. Poetic Justice
7. Sherane a.k.a. Master Splinter's Daughter
8. good kid
9. m.A.A.d city
10. Swimming Pools
11. Sing about me, I'm dying of thirst
12. Real
Ps: I completely lost it when you put the "ain't nobody got time for that" woman and the black oil guy as K-Dot's parents😂. In any case, you earned a new sub!
Glad you enjoyed the video :) Money trees is always a hard one to pin down, and I could absolutely see your order making sense (even though I still think Poetic justice should come after Sherane). Hope you enjoy the rest of the stuff I've got on this channel (my analysis of Denzel Curry's Taboo is one of my favourite videos)

I rate it more the tpab

really great video. good catch on the sti in money trees, i never thought much of those lines
only 1 point i disagree with and thats when you said "kdot said that he's tired of running" i believe this is actually dave's brother saying this line in the skit, after saying he's tired of running he says "my brother homie" and also throughout the album we never hear kdot speak in any of the skits
otherwise really good analysis
Thanks for pointing that out--definitely an error on my part.

Jeez how haven’t I come across your channel yet
Allow me to formally welcome you to the channel then :) Hope you enjoyed the video--more rap analysis to come
Thanks for explein everyting
umm why does this video have no views great fuckin analysis
Tanks Mate :)
You should really make a To Pimp a Butterfly analysis video! Your style intrigues me!
I’m huge fan of kinderick Lamar myself all his albums are great
I really like the pineapple
I really like you :)
Very good analysis! I would say that personally this is my second favorite Kendrick album, but I love all of his albums!
One of the best west coast albums ever.
How does this guy only have this amount of followers?
such a good video man…love it
Many thanks :)
This is truly elite
Welcome to the elite club ;)
Very insightful and entertaining ; please bless us with more music analysis vedios!
Personally I think To Pimp A Butterfly is better to me and to a scale of 1-10 I think it’s so easy it’s just a ten and will be a landmark in rap albums. Good Kid m.A.A.d City to me is a 9/10, I think Kendrick personally is the best rapper of our generation and the most consistently good rapper out of any rapper right now, but I do agree with this video
To me they are both 10s. But I agree TPAB is better and one of the greatest albums (not just rap albums) of all time.
this was an amazing video 🫶
Thank you for the kind words :)
You should have wayyyyyyy more subs and views bro
You are sweet :) Thanks G
Please start making videos again
This video is just so good I love this album but I don’t have enough vocabulary to explain why to my friends
can't take Sherane's cousins seriously when one of them is 6ix9ine 💀💀
hey, what editing software do you use bro? good video!
Alas, I do not edit my work, but my talented editor uses Premier Pro and After Effects (she says thanks for the compliments btw ;) )
@@themanicpineapple8772 no problem im just a kendrick fan and you really made some good points and broke it down very well
Very underrated video
GR8 video 🎥🍿
2 things; Common isn’t east coast, east coast ( golden era ) definitely talks about the struggles of the streets ie gangs, drugs, violence and racism.
