🪩All-Access Members Update -05/05/2025🪩

I know I say this every week, but my gosh, I’m just genuinely blown away by how much this community is growing🥹 Thank you so much for all the support. I’m so happy to have each and every one of you here for this journey!🙌🏼 Just a heads up, I know there have been many questions in the chat and comments, so I’m going to post an update tomorrow for all members on Patreon that’s going to include an overview of all things "Vambie Reacts," with a detailed breakdown of the Kendrick journey I’m following with my filming.

There are a few things that I wanted to highlight for the new All-Access Members that I didn’t think needed to be included in the broader post:

It is really important to me that I try to ensure that those who choose to support the channel financially are getting benefits worthy of their hard-earned money. I try not to change things without first explaining them and getting your feedback before making any decision.

Last month, when I had Patreon and YouTube vote about mixing in other artists or focusing on Kendrick first, there was a valid concern brought up by numerous people that doing the albums so close together and not having enough time to "sit" with them, if you will. I promised everyone I would keep an eye on it, and I would be transparent if anything came up. Ultimately, I want to give each artist I cover the respect they deserve and, in turn, give everyone watching the best content I'm able to, even if that means deviating from the original plan. Which ended up happening; while I added buffer time between filming, I didn’t consider the editing and posting. If I had followed my original plan, I would have needed to film “untitled. unmastered.” While I was still editing TPAB content, which didn't feel right. Now, I post at 5:15 pm (CST) on Thursdays and 8:15 am (CST) on Sundays, with the exception of a buffer post after a big album drop.

• To use TPAB as an example, I dropped it on Thursday, April 10th. In the new schedule, the music videos would have been on Thursday, April 17th, and the live performances on Sunday, April 20th. That way, there are "two weeks" dedicated instead of trying to squeeze it into a week.

Feedback Requests:

After we finished up GNX, we currently have the following on the schedule:

• Top Kendrick features [27 songs requested]

• Missed Content / Unreleased [ 6 unreleased songs, 12 other content such as short films, music videos, live performances, interviews, and freestyles]

• Re-watch Superbowl + Bad Blood [MV]

• Potentially: Kendrick Lamar EP & Overly Dedicated if there is interest

The previous poll determined we would focus on Kendrick before moving onto another artist, but that was before establishing all the Kendrick content requested after the albums, so I wanted to check in and see if that is still what you all want. Alternatively, we could start the next artist, Tyler, the Creator, but mix in all the remaining Kendrick content. If there is any interest in taking this approach, we can dive more into how that would look.

Lastly, Family Ties - Baby Keem ft. Kendrick was recommended to be done before The Heart V. I was thinking of just doing it as a combo video of that with The Heart V unless there is any objection?

Upcoming Drop Schedule: 

• Thursday, May 8th = DAMN. [MVs]

  • this will also include the Demo/Previous version of ELEMENT.

• Sunday, May 11th = DAMN. [Live Performances]

• Thursday, May 15th = Black Panther: the album

• Thursday, May 22nd = Black Panther [MVs]

• Sunday, May 25th = Potentially Family Ties + The Heart V

  • Promise I will react for the first time with the music video.

• Thursday, May 29th = Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers

As always thank you for all your support and I hope you have a great night or day wherever you are :) - Vambie
