  You should do a full kendrick album from start to finish. Including songs you have already done. Picking a song like this is like taking a book and reading a random chapter. With that being said, still a great reaction to the song itself.

  I'm a social service assistant in IHS for adolescent substance abuse. There are things we learn about empathy when dealing with our kids, like eye contact. The layer in this video, starting when kendrick starts "expressing" himself to his therapist, her facial reactions, and then ultimately at the end losing eye contact when he says "if I didn't learn to love myself forgive myself a hundred times, dawg" she looks down, saddened (cardinal rule i believe to not show these kinds of expressions or break eye contact so hard while helping a patient). To me that signified that she simply didn't have a rebuttal or couldn't find the words to help Kendrick, with him ultimately turning his back to the therapist, and then an angel putting his arm around him, a metaphor that maybe he feels only god and music* has his back. As a black man (and I'm not trying to make this racial at all, forgive me, statistically black men loathe the idea of therapy) I always feared therapy, up until maybe 2 years ago I started seeking help. I am currently on my 4th therapist. This video made me cry the first time I watched, and almost any other time. Sometimes I feel like I am alone in this, that there is a lot of pressure and guilt on me to be the man, be there for my family, be proud when I know I should. I was having a hard time today, cried on my lunch break, but I'm feeling better especially after watching your reaction, it really helped me. Hopefully tomorrow will be better.

  It seems significant that in order to play the piano he has to turn his back on the therapist, like he doesn't feel like he has the time for self evaluating while he's working.

  The best thing abt the video is how towards the end kendrick turns back to the piano showing that music is his therapy even tho he has a therapist to vent to he still chooses to release his stress with music and singing.

  The song is cutted for the purpose of the clip which is brilliant. In the full version, ''I love when you count me out'' is referring to ''Miss Regrets'' and it gets a whole new meaning

  When he realizes the angel-like kid is kendrick&apos;s inner child. He was giving wings as a child becux of his talent n was praised for it. So he does things that made other people happy and always chasing something he could never find &nbsp;But he realizes it now that he was going thru something (issues n trauma), which if not deal with could potential mess with his life and loved ones.<br>In the end, you can see his inner child consoling and being there for him. It&apos;s like an acknowledgment and forgiveness of Kendrick and his wrongs😢🤧

  I am a die-hard Kendrick Lamar fan and this is in my top three probably my number one favorite Kendrick Lamar song because I relate so much to it so much. It&apos;s like I wrote it every time I listen to it. It breaks me down and by the time it gets to the end of it, it&apos;s like I&apos;m built back up. Anyway, I stumbled upon your channel channel because I was searching for breakdown of this song. And I got to tell you I&apos;ve listened to this song damn near everyday since the moment the CD came out. I just want to tell you what an excellent, perfect job you&apos;ve done breaking this song down. Lots of clarity now. And I also subscribe to you now. Thank you

  You need to do a reaction of the full album, it&apos;s a must. You dig Kendrick and the entire album is about therapy. If you ever needed to react to an entire album, it&apos;s this one.

  I think the parking spot scene is about him claiming &nbsp;the #1 spot of rap and not being apologetic about it. Also, I think his therapist is a representative of hiphop and or the overall theme about his video is this relationship with the culture of hip hop.

  Every time I hear or see a piece of art from this man, I&apos;m amazed. He&apos;s only getting better.

  His music is his calmness. His laugh, his smile love his dances, his pain I feel.
