PART 2 RE-UPLOADED!!  https://youtu.be/32ICOI_tD8Q

Kendrick has said in an interview that 80% of his albums is him preparing himself to go in the studio to record the music , he lives life and takes notes constantly and have key words or saying that will trigger back the feeling and the memory he felt at that moment when he hears a sound. So when he goes in the studio its about him finding those sounds that will trigger those feelings again and somehow he says he always find them but in some cases it might take months or seconds. Listen to rick ruban interview with him they into dept about his process of making music.

Kamasi Washington, Terrace Martin, Anna Wise, Thundercat, Sounwave, Flying Lotus - this album is the TDE A team plus a who's who of LA jazz and beat scene players and producers plus the most influential 21st century jazz pianist Robert Glasper in addition to all the legends sampled and featured. That's why it sounds so untouchable!

MICHAEL! You have NO idea how much better this just made my day. I'll get to watching this with a bowl of popcorn. Had a real shitty one but this made it brighter!

u is genuinely one of the most heartbreaking songs i’ve ever heard, this album will go down in history and will never be forgotten, they already study this album in colleges and it’s archived in harvard, one of the only few hip hop albums to be archived along with the low end theory by a tribe called quest, the miseducation of lauryn hill by lauryn hill, and illmatic by nas

Man you looked exhausted after “u” which is such a heavy song but saw the life coming back with “alright” was cool. Glad you picked up on the monologue at the end of the song growing. Subscribed.

They sent you a suicide mission. TPAB is very dense and layered, even the most rabid hip hop fan has a challenge in digesting it all

Michael, you have no idea how much these Kendrick album reactions mean to us! I’ve had an incredibly difficult year with taking care of family members and struggling to play guitar through tendinitis pain in my right hand, but your face at the beginning of “For Free” made everything better. Such a powerful thing to see pro musicians and music lovers experiencing great songs and albums outside of their go-to genres. Thank you for being you, man!

This was such a joy to watch. Reminded me of how brilliant this album is. It’s so cool to see someone with a sophisticated appreciation of music experience it for the first time

To me Kendrick is a master vocalist/rapper/lyricist as well as being essentially a legendary composer…

This was my first full rap album I ever listened to. It’s still my favorite album. Brought me to a whole new world of music that I absolutely love. Enjoy.

Idk why it made me laugh when Kendrick said “this d*** ain’t freeee” and he screams “YES!”

What a treat, hearing this album the first time through. Where's part 2?!

For sale is genuinely a eerie ass song man. Its basically satan telling him he wants his soul but it’s delivered in such a lullaby ass way because remember lucy or lucifer was the angel of music in heaven before he was cast out. Its crazy to think about

I don’t normally watch reaction videos but seeing someone listen to this album for the first time is awesome. This made me realize I was too young to fully grasp and appreciate this when it came out. It wasn’t until the last few years where I really started HEARING this record. It’s invigorating and you never stop finding things to love about it

Thanks to your reaction to " i " I've discovered Kendrick and shifted my passion to music to another level. Finally you did this album as well. Thanks man, for the insights and for doing what you do

This is one of the best albums ever. Tremendous!

I NEED PART 2 THIS IS SUCH A GREAT REACTION!

i dont listen to TPAB all the time but everytime i do i am dumbfounded by the achievement that it is and wonder how tf Kendrick has done this, esp after coming off GKMC and the sound people expected from him. his discography is just absolutely immaculate
