[REACTION] Kendrick Lamar - Mother I Sober

As a black man to see another black man cry is refreshing

As a woman that is 56 years old that has been through incest, molestation and rape this song touch me in such a way I just fell to tears. We don’t talk about the trauma in our homes growing up. We are told what happens in my house stays in my house and it leaves us with trauma. So for Drake to make a assumption like this it bothered me to my core when I listened to this song. I tend to agree with Kendrick he is a disgusting individual

I lost my brother's less than 60 days apart..this album brought me out of a very dark space..it will ALWAYS have a place in my heart

I’m so glad I’m not the only who felt this way, this song gets me every time, salute to you brother, that little voice that says thank you gets me every time ,

I cry every time! I was furious when I heard Drake using this song and get it completely wrong. This song is so beautiful in its own way. Kendrick has a beautiful soul.♥️

The level of vulnerability is so beautiful and most importantly so so needed. Kendrick’s work carries so much weight and healing for the black culture, but also for all men at large. Also, the subtle acknowledgment of Whitney throughout this album speaks to me as a woman. We do help our men cleanse their wounds and heal.

Drake this is a major L.

Real men cry! You definitely do not need hide it brother. This song makes me cry every single time that I hear it 🤎

Not a SINGLE time listening to MOTHER I SOBER & the whole MR.MORALE, were they NOT TEARS SOBS🙅🙅😔🥺🥺😢😢..... KDOT is DIFFERENT 👏💯👑

Let’s set our brothers and sisters free from their pain

Atleast he confessed about his sins. You got people walking around here lying. That's why people should respect Kendrick as an artist. He never said he were perfect.

Beautiful reaction. I hate Aubrey for using this incredible master work the way he did but also grateful everyone else gets to hear what we all heard when this song dropped. One of his most powerful songs. 💪🏼🙏🏼

Yeeeah, bro — I know exactly how this track hits 💛 I'm in my late 30s and this joint makes me cry pretty much every time I play it. It's fkn hard to process your shit as a man because we're not taught to understand our emotions — they're like words in a foreign language. Took me 26 months with an excellent therapist to learn this 'language' along with the frameworks necessary to finally unpack, understand and process my trauma. And to this day it's the best investment I ever made — it enabled me to rebuild my identity — I'm finally a functional and stronger man. But it was gruelling work. Only childish Mfers think that feeling your emotions is a weakness. So when Kendrick calls out Drake for acting like a 7-year-old, I completely see what he's talking about. Because it takes courage to allow yourself to fully experience your raw emotions; It takes a strong man to face his pain and accept it as part of himself, and finally to accept himself as he truly is.

Sending love and hugs to you… and to anyone that had this awful experience. ❤ Kendricks vulnerability is beautifully sad…

This album is a masterpiece and this song is so powerful I cry every time I hear it. As someone who has gone through a lot of abuse and is working to break the chain with my kids the ending absolutely wrecks me in the best way

I was searching for mother I sober reactions and came across yours and man when you cried I joined you. Such a powerful track, I'm glad we have more people hearing it for what it actually is now

It takes someone with a heart of gold to show the world such raw emotions ❤

I cried too i went to so much trauma as a child that I fell into addiction of drugs and been clean for 32 years now but I did go to therapy and still go. You gained a new subscriber.

Thank you AUbree, from bringing everyone back to this masterpiece. This song was slept on and it was personally frustrating. The power of this message is culturally transformative. Toxic masculinity is not strength. Hiding is not brave. Thanks Drake for your blasphemy it brought us back to the beauty of this work of art. Kendricks pieta.

I had a couple Drake joints I enjoyed during my last stint of college, but this album helped push me through, in an environment I knew I wasn't welcome, to finish and get my last degree. To this day, I'm disappointed there's no instrumentals album made, because the whole damn album is a soundtrack.
