When my mom was ailing, a couple of years before she passed she would request “Alright”, in the hospital to get her through….Love you Ma.🕊️
-
Hope this really shows the older generation how truly great Kendrick is
-
7 minutes in and we're still just in the first verse of the first song lmao, just shows how incredibly dense this album is
-
David Bowie loved this album and it inspired him while making his last album
-
this is an s tier music channel. your musicianship, dj skills , music and video editing makes your analyses unparalleled
-
TPAB was the new landmark for jazz/funk hip-hop.
-
as a younger teen I always wondered if we were ever going to get a great Jazz Rap album, like what Tribe Called Quest did. then this album came out. I fucking loved it all. Can’t wait for part 2, dawg!
-
please never stop making videos they make me love music again and again.
-
The story of How Much A Dollar Cost is truly genius. I hope someone makes that into a movie
-
Easily a top 5 hip hop album of all time. Might not be Kendrick’s best even, I personally prefer GKMC, but this album has so many layers, the production is immaculate and every single word has a meaning to it. Amazing record front to back and one that will live on for decades to come.
-
And that's why K-dot takes years to work on an album. A true musical artist.
-
It's amazing how often I hear the Pharrell tag and forget that's him because it just fits the song every time.
-
This album always felt like a spike lee movie in an album form. Similar soundtrack style and political themes and expression of a relatable black experience. Masterpiece.
-
TPAB is truly great and definitely deserves a two-parter Digging The Greats. thank you so much and stay real
-
Kendrick is actually unbelievable, I've never seen anyone do what he does with music
-
i knew you'd finally break down TPAB, i've been waiting since your GKMC breakdown
-
You really need to do a whole video dedicated to diving into Thundercat. Would be cool to get your perspective as a base player yourself.
-
To pimp a butterfly got me into music not just hip hop. My all time favorite artist and album ever.
-
It’s Digging the Greats, he loves Kendrick and he’s doing a deep dive on TPAB on this Friday morning 🔥🔥🔥. This albums turns 10 next year 🤯
-
The bass line on Wesley’s Theory brings tears to my eyes.
