The whole album is Lit 🔥 you won’t understand if you can’t relate.

what you think of "enough to make a grown man cry"?

Billy is really the goat

0:11 literaly me

Just got done relistening to the mixtape not too long and been looking for analysis content on it because of the sheer brilliance of the mixtape, and happened to come across your channel. Great vid bro! Gonna drop a sub and check your other content out!

Hey man, I don’t think ‘solved’ is the right word

Im too cool for hip hop?

Drake saving hiphop is hilarious to me

What’s crazy is that I never heard of Kendrick Lamar till this beef, and now he’s my favorite rapper, made my favorite album, and I can proudly say, is probably one of the greatest rapper in history. Definitely in the top ten, probably in the top five.

This is rap bible, these are words coming from god man. Wtf , SAVIOR, count me out, father time, mother I sober, heart part 5? Everything is moving.

jackson it would really cool to see you decipher tv girl if you know them

What in the fuck is this nothing burger of a video. You fr didn’t say anything but you managed to yap for 10 minutes

This is dope man

I want to say that when I saw woods in concert, I asked him to play red dust and he said he can’t because it’s about an actual person and it would be too emotional. Or something along those lines. I think that last verse is woods wanting to really get rid of someone or someone really wanting to get rid of him.

Great video but I was laughing at you casting HOB as Abel's "most problematic song" given "Initiation" exists... 😭😭😭

Such a great analysis which I say as a listener of Abel's music since late 2011. I love that you also felt like Abel's music made you feel like less of an outcast or like there was something wrong with you, I feel the same way with Abel's music! I'm so proud of all Abel's accomplished ❤️ I remember when I went to Abel's 2013 Kiss Land concert, I looked at my then-boyfriend and told him that, "The Weeknd will be one of the biggest artists in the world" and I'm so grateful to have seen that happen. Abel deserves it & his fans/XO deserve Abel's music to help them get through our traumas. Abel's music is unironically therapy for millions of us, which I still feel to this day 13 years later! 💚 XOTWOD

he is not your savior

Couldn't relate more to the end of this video. I wish I was ignorant too, I am so done with everything. So. Fucking. Done. Wars going on, people killing each other, chaos and politicians trying to win more in the cost of lifes. I don't know what to do anymore, I don't follow them social patterns of society and just for being a little bit different, I'm considered crazy or an idiot, people say shit about me all around, in my back or my front it doesn't matters. I just don't understand what to do or why to do. I try being a cool person, that listens everyone and tries to help all the time, I try to be someone that people will care about, but at the end of the day, everyone will just forget me, and when I truly die, after being forgotten by everyone, what else will matter? Nature deserves this world more than us humans, we don't do shit but just destroy it and try to find another world to live in, because we know that everything is over in a few years. I just breathe to seek out them nukes falling in my head the next morning I wake up and open my window. It's all worthless, priceless, but yet so expensive. What to do when you're not accepted in society neither on anything, being a person that cares about everyone but no one cares about you, what about it? what's the matter at the end of the day? Fuck, bro.

5:49 crazy choice of words, you got me thinking.

Interesting take bro, I'd like to have a chat with you on my radio show. Let's connect, please advise. Peace.

amazing video

Frankenstein’s monster actually 🤓

truly incredible how you articulated some of the reasons why a character as enigmatic as woods can still resonate so much with me. it’s all about his sincerity and simply phenomenal writing. he and earl have really reframed how i will probably look at rap and hip hop forever because rappers like them who pour themselves into the music for or worse with their unique writing styles will keep me fascinated for the rest of my life because they truly let you in on how their mind works and how they look at life/society. those make the moments where they get personal and vulnerable even more impactful.

The funny part is that you say that you didnt miss the point, and then miss the point of almost every song and what stand behind all of it, consider rethinking bro

Sorry to be a jerk but the way you pronounce existential in this video is craaazy. Really great video though

I’ve never caught that N95/mask ref

3 minutes in and I can tell you don’t understand rap or the culture. 👎🏾

Thanks for introducing to me, Billy Woods and I really think he is helping me a lot since I struggle with anxiety And with a lot of issues so thank you

Great analysis bro! This video is excellent 🙏🏼

Silent Hill is talking about sitting and meditating silent on a hill. Watching thoughts pass by your mind like "huh". "Head up, chest out"

Before Kendrick's feature on Like That, there had been months -- years -- of underhanded, snide disses by Drake of Kendrick. Others, too. You would think Pusha-T would have given him a caution, but no. Push-ups, the AI of Tupac finally pushed too much, and Drake went over the cliff.

My favorite album by Tyler has to be this one forsure

8:03 FIRST PERSON SHOOTER? what about first person shooter.. kendrick literally mentions it IN THE SING WTF 😭😭

New sub

you clearly don't know what you're talking about

Mumble rap and drill rap are done after this beef

This skit was the best 😂😂😂

I’ve been listening to Billy Woods for around 10 years. I thought he was the best then and he’s only gotten better. His ability to tie in accurate and obscure historical references, academic language, is unmatched. I love him.

For the past months I’ve been searching for something and overthinking shit. You’ve just said it. I can’t thank you enough for revealing I’m not the only one thinking like this. Relateable af, good job

if drake never shot back, he would have been fine. he had something he wanted to prove, but he failed miserably. it is clear that he is afraid of kendrick because he knows kdot is better than him. drake is incredibly insecure and that is what led to his downfall.

thank you! "Be good--ily"

The fact that everyone is surprised that this was Kendrick’s reaction tells me that people sleep on how good he is and what he’s skilled at. He’s just getting all the was he digs at himself and puts it on drake. The only person who has, roasted Kendrick is Kendrick.

This is the absolute best breakdown I’ve seen yet

All seriousness tho I need that shirt

Hello, Jackson. I would like to commemorate you on your effort to educate people on woods. RUclips really needs more content like this. You seem like a reflective type, so I would like to you to bring one idea to your attention. Despite your best intentions, on this platform you're working with the audience that wants you to tell how Kendrick saved the culture by making Adonis family relations a living hell for the rest of his life, and how much of a role model the Weeknd's character is. Needless to say, most of the viewers will take what you say here at the face value. It is extremely unfair woods and all of the other genius rappers in the abstract space nowadays have such low stats. I really hope that a few years and a couple of million views later you'll come back to this video to change the title. But, as you gave the woods his well-earned flowers, I couldn't help but notice none of the ELUCID mentions in the video (even though you can see him in the montage). Please don't Anthony Fantano him. It is extremely unfair to leave him out of equation, as he is crucial to the development of the direction of AH as well as woods solo stuff. If you have never given his solo stuff a shot (was guilty of that at some point myself), just now that his influence plays a big part in the art you fell in love with. You can hear it from the woods himself, and you can also hear that, discerning ELUCID's solo work. I hope you'll be mindful of that connection next time you'll decide to bring this topic up

brazy

This was the worse analysis on the beef i’ve ever seen. From you thinking kendrick is calling himself a prophet, to then misinterpreting the mj bar. Please don’t speak on hiphop again and if you do, do better research and stop acting like you know what you’re talking abour

How the song quality soo high in vid

😂

this was the most obvious musical zelf deleti0n letter
