- Kendrick Lamar and Baby Keem are actually cousins. However, despite claims that Baby Keem is an industry plant simply due to his connections with Kendrick, the truth is the two haven't always had the closest relationship. After Keem would move to Las Vegas as a kid, the two wouldn't see each other for almost 10 years. In this video I discuss the history of their relationship, as well as see how they have helped each other musically in these past few years.

i feel like they hid they were cousins for so long so that keem could blow up for his talent and creativity and not just because he was “kendrick’s cousin”
i feel that is exactly what happened, if he had just been “kendrick’s cousin” he would have only been popular for a short period of time. but he was able to show what he can do without being “kendrick’s cousin”
Baby keems verse on the savior interlude stole the show....one of the best verses on the MM&TBS album.
Agreed I actually think it's being slept on when all these TH-camrs make reviews on the album
Kendrick wrote it
Yerrrr I’m just a young Mexican trying to get out the hood 💯 i smoke weed on my TH-cam channel & i did a Mukbang inside Lowes bro🍔🥶
@@carravaggiomikelson870 y’all will really say Kendrick wrote everything for keem and doesn’t use any input at all. Keem writes the bulk of his lyrics but Kendrick adds more depth and creates a flow for baby keem to use. Kendrick is basically guiding and influencing keem
I wouldn’t say all that but it was very good
Kendrick just be doing side missions now
You should have mentioned lyrics from MM&BS, Kendrick mentioning his aunty's addition and his son making millions (Keem), and him sacrificing his time/career/music to work on Keem's project, I guess that's why he didn't release for so long.
He had writers block for 2 years correct me I’m wrong
@@zuezszyeah he mentioned it on Worldwide Steppers
@@zuezszhe couldn't have. Because he had 3 versions of Mr. Morale. The first one was almost finish but was never fully finished from 2018-2019. 2nd version was fully finish in 2020 and ready for release until covid hit. Then there's the current one.
@@T-T-m5zpeople don't just record when they release albums. He has thousands of unreleased songs.
Gem of a video. Crazy that Kendrick does so many reference tracks
for real.... appreciate it man!
He did it because he didn’t know they were related lmaoooo once it was known he never mentioned the man again and took him off a song that Drake made
@@blazingnight5017stop lying he knew
@@Myglowupisinsideout bro you’re stupid look into more
I feel like baby keem helped Kendrick get his drive for music back
He literally has hands in the beat productions of songs on MM&TBS
Nah we can thank Drake for that
@@traijohnson7089 you waited a year later don't cap
@@traijohnson7089ri 😂
Who said he ever lost it?
First time I heard Keem I assumed they were connected since he raps like one of Kendrick's higher octaves.
Never knew they were cousins with Nick Young too 😂
And cousin Carl
family full of talent
Makes sense
It's a small world
Baby Keem is Kendrick Lamar's alter ego
that and keem is in a way kendricks legacy, its bringing kendrick to newer younger audiences and helping hold kendricks dominance throughout the 2020's, its not just kendrick anymore its him and his families empire
Baby keem got a heavyweight boxer face
😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂 DAMN!
😂😂😂😂😂
Dawg!!! LOL
This comment is hilarious 😂
They both goated man i love the energy they have on tracks. One of my favorite duos. Kendrick my favorite and is the best rapper ever. Ready for this concert next month🔥
yeah that tour is about to be great 🔥
Best Rapper Ever ? I’m not gonna even try to argue about Kendrick’s footprint on the game, but Cmooonnnn my guyyyy
@@Cocotaso.shaker dawg go find you sum to do. Its my opinion be mad mf. Im not finna argue w you.
@@Cocotaso.shakerthere is an argument for it
showing something to your mentor and having them say you're as good as them >
8:02 lmao keem really is Johnny who wants to be a rapper like his big cousin
Johnny don't wanna go to school no more, no more
Johnny said books ain't cool no more (no more)
Johnny wanna be a rapper like his big cousin
Johnny caught a body yesterday out hustlin'
God bless America you know we all love him
Obviously we don't need anymore proof that Kendrick the real deal, but telling that boy to graduate would do it for sure. Definitely goes to show what kind of time he's really on, and honestly that shit should always be a stipulation with this. Like if you got ppl saying "at least graduate high school before attempting a career like that", then you got some folks that actually looking out for you frfr.
If I was a multi Grammy award rapper and my lil cousin asked me to put him in de game of course I'll do the same thing, family first
it’s unreal lmfao
Just seen them perform Family Ties together at the Big Steppers tour in Chicago and the energy between the two was lit 🔥 together. And Keem sounds like Kendrick.
16:25 it sounds odd hearing kendrick do the Jay rock verse
yeah for real 😂
that verse made me fall in love with Jay rock
Fantastic video, Keep is getting big. It makes me so mad when people say Keem only made it because of Kendrick that is some shit. Keem is so very talented. Sure I'm sure he has benefitted some from being related to Kendrick but no way does that correlated to him being even close to kenny. Keem is an elite artist and has been for a while
Facts, Keem was already putting out some dope music before collabing with kendrick. Family ties and Range Brothers were just what put him into the spotlight, he would probably have gotten there eventually even if he never collabed with kendrick
I literally just found out this year that they were even related I love Orange Soda and now range brothers is on repeat
Just saw these two in Brisbane, Australia, the environment was crazy, if Kendrick tours again I'm getting tickets for the mosh no matter what.
😂🤣😭 "even sharing a little kiss" is hilarious... Y'all down with kfc too?
Amazing video man, kept me engaged the whole time
thanks for watching bro 🔥
Greatness Runs through the family 😤
Baby Keem was one of my favorite artist before I found out he was Kendrick’s cousin, which is crazy but makes sense
I socked him out at Dennys back in 2016
Saw them the other day crazy af i really got to witness greatness 🙌 👏
that's hype 🔥
Just saw them in Auckland, New Zealand the last tour date. Was fucking amazing.
Great video brotha !!
Another great video fam
Bro is underrated
bruhh the visuals at 7:37 is insane with the topic your on at that time lmfaoooo 😅😅😅
the goat is back
ayeee appreciate you 🔥
loved this video fr
Mad video bro 👌🏽 much love from Australia
I knew most of baby keems songs were made by Kendrick it just made sense for Kendrick to give them all those cardo beats and songs he made with them cause he would never actually put them out in a body of work
Good Video… Ppl Need To Realize Tho That Reference Tracks Does Not Mean That You’ve Ghostwritten The Song… OftenTimes, An Artist Might Just Make A Reference Track To Demonstrate Alternate Ways For The Song 2 Be Performed… It Doesn’t Mean That Ghostwriting Is Involved At All, Although Of Course Sometimes It Is
Legendary duo!
facts! 💯
Let’s go!!!
🔥 🔥 🔥
Thay boy back at ittttt, proud of u gang🤟🏾
yessir thanks bro! 💯
top of the mornin'
Who you think they talkin bout? They talkin bout us!
@@ShesMajickal_ great song!
Amazing video
yo thank you 🔥
amazing video brothers
appreciate it sir 🔥
Irrespective of wherever, whenever, whatever background he came from or even who he was or wasn't related to, Baby keem was always going to get to the top... that's the kind of guy that can't be held down by anything, at least not for long...they even kept their distance from each other and still dude had a great E.P on his own... Kendrick Lamar is a great artist but Keem surely has a purpose and a place in rap music
They work great together 🔥🔥🔥🔥
This is a great video.
Thank You 🔥
Kendrick is definetly only good when Keem is writing for him when they didn't even see each other in years
16:21 same for SZA on All The Stars
I’ll never forget the first time I heard DFMB. When I heard the second beat switch on “Stats” I said he kinda sounds like Kendrick 😂
Personally I liked Keem before I knew.... I thought Hooligan was one of the better songs I had heard in along time
The video,the sound, the rappin
I think he would have made it even without the FAMILY TIES, It would've just taken longer
Been all black like an emo bitch
But these are not regular clothes,
These are the outfits i make a movie wit
Fs. Melodic blue has too many good songs for him not to blow up
I love Kendrick & Keems dynamic!
Good video. What song was in the intro of this video?
appreciate it! Intro was my new song... link in the description 🔥
@@Eleven_11 homie you fire. 🔥 🔥 🧨🧨
Yeah, Keem is very respectable! He carries himself very well in these interviews. A lot more mature than the Migos, that's for sure!
this aged too well 🥲
😢
wish we could get the reference tracks finished and dropped
great vid
16:43 everybody knows Ye is Orchestrating everything going on in the studio even if he not writing all the bars.
If I ever get put on big time… I’ll proudly announce my nepotism, it’ll be a family business for real 🤣🤣🤣
2 of my favourite artists!! 💜🔥🔥
Didn't know they were related damn, i found him through hooligan and sons and critics freestyle. He definitely has talent in having his own kind of flows and rap lyrics talking personal shit
All might and Deku
Imagine the music we’d get if Kendrick didn’t leave Chicago at age 3
Calling baby keem an industry plant is crazy cause baby keem is better than your top 10 😩
Baby keem is not good lol
🔥 🔥 🔥
as long as we are cousins, i dont mind what people say..thats my blood
Incredible video.
2:40 W Melon
"even sharring a little kiss"
Really? Are you happy for them?
Smile in their face but are you happy for them ?
No response but a like. He’s not
@@romariofrancis9787 you were supposed to continue the lyrics to "Saviour" with something like "They're out the way, are you happy for them" 😉
Isn’t keem 22? Kendrick is 36. No shit they weren’t close. Even if it’s your cousin that disconnect is gonna be there till you’re of age and even then it might be to big of a gap.
do you know where to find the reference tracks from Kendrick for baby keem also great vid 🫡
Keem’s production is goated
Keem barely a producer😂😂😂 check the credits. Kendrick writes all his shit too lol
Top of da mornin.
Kendrick Lamar Forever
Kendrick Lamar 4 Life
Brother Baby Keem is dope & awesome
Wow what an amazing video! SO much research this was fantastic
imagine being related to Nick Young 😳
@UnCommon former NBA player
@UnCommon bruh did u even watch the video
I remember meeting him once
@@Shinsagi07 how was he?
To be honest I don't really like baby keems sound that much. I agree it doesn't matter who made it if it's a good song but I was even upset when I heard literally remade baby keems track on new Kendrick album
They are COUSINS
Kendrick wrote Jay-Z verse in Bitch don't kill my vibe remix
Caaaaaap !!! 🧢🧢🧢🤦♂️🧢🧢
From lyrics on MM&TBS (and their age gap), it seems like Baby Keem is actually Kendrick's cousin's son. I guess that's still a "cousin"? But not first cousin.
“As well as also”
Orange soda is my personal favourite baby keem song
Lmao I just now found out they are related
😂😂 bro you finished me
If they make a album
"This dude" ❤ 👏🏿 👏🏿 👏🏿 👏🏿
Two phone baby keem
Yes.
ITS BABY KEEM
Y’all do not understand what is about to happen 😢
Do a Nicki Minsk video !
Nobody here realizes how deep and intense of a TH-cam doc that would be
@@Cocotaso.shaker ikr literally the whole industry goes against her
Drake probably knew they were related and wanted him on his side. But I could be reaching.
I mean drake is pretty manipulative, so you are reaching just not as far as his stans would have you believe 🤣
He had an advantage. Imagine your cousin being in the buisness, the rest is walk in the park. Would be nice to see real talent who have no family members in the buisness and just have talent for making meaningful music.
that drake comment aged soooooo well!
what song did he drop the next day?
Swaggy P 🏀 🏀
Wait “Cousin Johnny” from XXX was Baby Keem?
How tf does the clock logo make sense ? Lmao
Eleven 11 ??
Which song was it that baby keem sent to Kendrick?
He is not your savior.
Even if they didn't know each other, Lamar still planted him smh
Put him on? That’s not always considered a plant obviously cause he has talent in production, which is a behind the scenes thing anyways. There’s a plant then there’s people who make it organically through connections, there is a thin line but Keem seems to be more on the organic side. Orange Soda being big as it was was telling in it self.
Putting his cousin on is a industry plant make it make sense 😂
@@ryuusaki7309 so he didn’t put in work?
@@ryuusaki7309 it’s almost like you’re discrediting his sound. He is not in the same league as Ice Spice or Kid Laroi, they weren’t even claiming each other and he still blew. Make it make sense.
they’re in a relationship? i thought these two were just cousins
No, he means their form of relation
So we be believing what everything the internet say
And they never met none of them in there life 👀
