Michael, you don't actually have to dive into the lyrical aspect of Kendrick's tracks. In fact, I actually like that you are mostly focusing on his musicality. There are already plenty of channels that covers his lyricism, but only a few really highlights his musicality. Please dive further into Kendrick's discography ❤️
Something that gets not talked about enough is Kendrick's vocal performance. The way he can use his voice to build tension, release it, articulate and emphasize different parts is just something I have never noticed with any other rapper.
There isn’t anyone better. He’s the most versatile rapper the world has ever seen, and one of the most prolific artists of all time. He’ll go down as one of the greats
Kendrick leaves this guy (a proclaimed non-rap fan) in shock EVERY TIME. “The difference between accomplishment and astonishment” 🔥🔥👏🏾 Love the vids. Keep going
1. Been listening to Kendrick for about 11 years, and feel genuine pure happiness when I see someone who notices and appreciates him for not just rapping but his overall musical prowess. So watching someone else geek out about it brings me jooooy.
2. There’s something you do that had me HOOKED! When you cut off the camera, but have your mic still on and I can hear you speak or move around or say something extra…that does something to me lmao!! It’s like getting a peek into your mind or how you really felt about what you just saw, and most times it’s somewhere along the line of being in awe. I love filmmaking and that is something people do in documentary style films to show a “when no one’s around, how do you REALLY act?” moment. So whether or not that’s on purpose, keep doing it!
Also, DO MORE KENDRICK REACTIONS PLEASE!! Love the content and big up your son 🥂
Kendrick is the paradigm for peak lyricism combined with musicality, and I've consistently seen him surround himself with talented musicians to match, so it feels so wholesome and great to see your excitement and appreciation for how he and his producer/band/whoever else is involved sets things up and/or reacts. It just all feels so intentional and helps to elevate the whole performance, so I get it, and I appreciate your ability to help put into words what that is as it happens.
I just wanted to thank you Michael Palmisano. Last night I had my final exam for Jazz Ensemble which was a performance. I had four solos. Because of you I payed more attention to the rhythm aspect. After the performance members of the band said I was on fire and the main professor of the music department made a point to come to me and compliment me. (I play Sax)
Seen Kendrick live at a festival for 2 hours & can say that his music is absolutely phenomenal and the timing with the band is insanely tight, exceptional artist been a fan for years
Bro, Kendrick is one of the greatest not just rappers but musical artists of all time, you should react to more of his songs. i.e XXX, United in Greif.
There are so many lyrical breakdown channels (because it takes ALL of us multiple listens- it’s basically a group project). We come here for your musical breakdowns. My daughter plays 3 instruments, and always learns something musically from your videos. Thank you!
BTW- This was a throw away song. 😂
