I love watching his reactions it’s so pure and honest

Iris Williams

Marvin Gaye has a version of “ if this world were mines “ version

Dewayne Williams

Thanks for the tip. I just listened to the Luther/Cheryl Lynn version. Loved Luther on this! To be brutally honest, though, Cheryl's delivery didn't do much for me. Not sure exactly why. (dad)

The FrontRoom

Yes, golden! I'm sorry to learn of his passing. (dad)

Luther Vandross passed away in 2005 from a heart attack. The man voice was golden!

You definitely have to listen to the original Luther Vandross/Cheryl Lynn "If This World Were Mine" version.

I remember hearing that the GNX on the album was from the year Kendrick was born, but don’t quote me.

You guys should really listen to the original, which is also a remake. If this world was mine is originally sung by Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell. The sample is Luther Vandross (my favorite male vocalist of all time) and Cheryl Lynn she is the female sample in the end. Kai you and dad were vibing from different parts of the song. You can tell that Kai picked the faster parts of the music while dad is vibing to the slower parts of the vocals. If you watch yourselves back it is so easy to see which parts of the songs you're in sync with. The Grand National (GNX) that Kendrick is talking about the inspiration of the whole album. It is a limited edition that was made only in Black in 1987. Only 547 GNXs were produced. That's the car on the album cover. It is the theme of his whole GNX album and the current tour. It means something very specific to Kendrick.

I need full album reaction.

I think you'd appreciate the sample chops by listening to the original song "If This World Were Mine" by Luther Vandross and Cheryl Lynn. This song is a staple in the culture.

GNX is a Buick Grand National. Kai was right on point, GNX represents a nostalgic connection to our West Coast hip-hop culture.

I was a bit surprised when Kai said it was Luther. Thanks for letting us know. (dad)

The last voice was Gladys Knight who sang the original with Luther Vandross.

LaShayna Thomas

So happy to see you guys love this song as much as I do! Actually, that's Cheryl Lynn's voice; "If This World Were Mine" is a duet between her and Luther Vandross, maybe you'll check that song out soneday.
