Kendrick Lamar’s Storytelling Masterclass | good kid, m.A.A.d city (Patreon)

Today I'm breaking down Kendrick’s “good kid, m.A.A.d city” one track at a time. We’re going to get into the lyrics, Kendrick’s style, the production, recreate a few songs, and see the narrative of the album unfold. This is one of the most cohesive storytelling albums ever made. It’s full of darkness, tragedy, angst, questioning systems, faith, hope, and love. It’s also got some incredible beats and rhyming that’s unmatched. It’s like if an HBO series was a hip hop album.

NOTE: This video contains explicit language and adult themes. i mention this because I've heard from many people that they like watching DTG with their kids. Just a content warning that the lyrics are not censored and the themes may be too intense for young viewers.

NOTE: This video is the FULL EDIT, meaning it's slightly longer, doesn't have acapellas, no sponsor, and the ending is slightly different from YouTube.
