Kendrick Lamar paying homage to all aspects of California culture: from Soul Train being filmed in the state, to the mexican homies chilling and doing their thing, to gang members repping their sets. He captures the Bay Area's "going dumb" movement, taking photos at the iconic Compton Swap Meet, and referencing the black panther statue that graced nearly every living room in the '80s. It's a true celebration of "California Love.
Makes me think of being a kid in the 90’s and early 200s when hip hop was great you kids better appreciate what this man is doing when your grand kids ask you about what the world was like when this album came out
The woman with the shotgun in that onesie, is a reference to Darlene Ortiz on the back of IceT's 1988 album "Power". Westcoast classic. IceT was dating Darlene at the time. And I love the Hyphy Bay Area shoutout too. This music video filled with Westcoast gems. Kenny does it again!
From an LA die hard native… the amount of references to LA Culture that’s avoided past the 10fwy is amazing and a homage to my childhood, adolescent and early adulthood
Love that K-DOT shows love to the hispanic community, they are so deeply ingrained in LA culture, and anybody really from socal knows that. Love the influence on this album
It's beautiful to watch, and he has always done so as you say, even when he refers to the dark/affiliation side and the beautiful community side. It's ingrained in his music and life. I'm from South Africa by the way, but I can see what you talking about!
One of my favorite things about this “beef” is how everything about Kendrick has been cultural, like everything been so Black, so Cali, so authentically him! (Something that Canadian man don’t have.) Dot don’t have to cosplay anything because this is his real life! Man, I love it! ❤❤❤
I mean I’m Team Kendrick all day, but a lot of black Toronto Culture is Caribbean culture. The “Toronto Slang” is basically an offshoot version of Jamaican patois slang. In the same way that Cali culture is a derivative of Down South culture. It’s all migration vibrations sis. But regardless, I love this video too. 🖤 🌴
the giant gold Rolex on the wall was def a tribute to E-40’s “In A Major Way” album cover and the girl in the monokini holding the shotgun is a tribute to Ice T’s “Power” album cover. Kendrick never fails to remind us he’s a student of this hip-hop shit and takes time to give flowers to every era that happened before his
Incase anyone was wondering, the writing on the whiteboard "Omnia est aliquid" is a latin phrase which means "Everything is something" (in other words "everything means something")

@@cmwai7489this song was previewed in the not like us video months ago. You are lying to yourself saying the battle wasn’t album promo. Lost your mind buddy 🤣🤣🤣🤣💀
This trash album is projected to sell under 300 I guess it ISNT what the culture feeling 😂. Drake was right, I'm the reason you went #1 so give me the loot. It's true dude can't sell without Drakes name
@@RobertBeggi I've been almost exclusively listening to rap and hip hop for close to 12 years and I could not tell you more than, like, 3 Drake songs. And he's been making hit songs, that seem to never hit my radar. I like Nice For What, and that is pretty much it.
The reason Kendrick Lamar has had so much success is because his music is authentic. He built a loyal fanbase through focusing on his craft, and not being pressured into sounding like other artists. His success continues to inspire me. Hopefully one day my music can touch the masses such as Kendrick Lamar. But as for now I'm just happy being a fan.
Why is hardly anyone talking about the Christmas parade?!? I’m in ohio and even I’m excited just knowing how amazing and special it will be for him to pop out and give the kids and community in general a magical experience, he truly is a pure soul😌
Black And Mexican Chicanos! Nothing but California Culture ..Bloods🔴 , Crips🔵 & Sureños 13🔵 UNITY ..We got your back homie keep doing your thang ... Much love from the Dub to the Hub ..SOUTH SIDE W🍇TTS TOWN GRAPE STREET 13 GANGSTER LOC'S
He represented California perfectly even gave us Mexican the shot out I’m not from down south I’m from Fresno and we good with the folks but down there they go at it so that was love
I’m from the south and I’m enjoying how Kendrick really is paying homage to the culture of Cali. This album is so west coast but I really love how this video makes us time travel.
For any of you who don’t know, the Buick GNX was a car that when it was first made was overshadowed by the corvette, but people revealed the true power of the Buick GNX and it turned out to be better than the corvette and thus was considered a “powerhouse” and was highly sought after. Kendrick is the GNX
also rumor has it that GM was so upset with Buick for making the GNX faster than the Corvette that Buick had to stop making it. Looking at some of the rumors that Kendrick had a lot more in the tank w/drake diss tracks but the labels wanted it to end... might be a metaphor there, or that could have all been bullshit, we probably will never know
As an artists, who has been apart of the afrosurrealist movement since before 2020 and the big boom, I'm soooooooooooo happy to see such an authentically black mainstream artist consistently participate and portray the movement and style correctly, hats off to the goat 😌
Yes. gd black folk have been so devoid of self pride and we need it NOW more than ever. If we ever thought we would be accepted by them nah. Time to get back to loving and caring for the community.
The Black experience!!! Just relived my entire childhood in just under 3 minutes. Man WHAT!!!! The black jaguar statue! My parents had that under they coffee table as a stand!! The Jesus photos on sale at the Compton swapmeet, Soul Train, the old skool photos and backgrounds! Still wrap my hair like that after a flat iron 😅 I'm here for ALL OF IT!!!
Ok. Kendrick . Forcing Hip Hop to change direction I see. Pure genius. You either culture or you not. #HipHop is back and outsiders better pay respect when knocking on that door. Debbie Deb sample just nasty
but is it the right direction? corny ass simple beats , simple ass flows, goofy ass vocal inflections. idk how you can make TPAB then about a decade later you make this garbage. its like going from a colony on mars to the stone age, making finger paintings in a cave.
I grew up off lil Wayne and Kendrick Lamar for times sake.. Kendrick has taught us things lil Wayne hasn't spiritually yet skill wise.lil Wayne has taught us things Kendrick hasn't but the lessons are most definitely different...give these teachers the love and keep it moving. Fo-sho 😎
Yes to all of this!! It’s so Cali and I am obsessed. I love the references from Ice T’s album cover to Anthony in Menace To Society. The candlelight vigil, training the pitbull, low riders, the unity between crips, bloods and chicanos. Maaaann Kendrick is really for the culture and I am here for all of it.
Kendrick is uniting the bloods & crips, SoCal & NorthCal, and the black and Hispanic culture. If you pay attention to his videos, you can tell the different how certain people dance if they are from NCal or SoCal. I am very impressed with his message.
He’s so good and bringing EVERYONE together. Thats he’s true magic 🪄. Drake can’t bring people Together like this. He only brings gays and females out in droves.
@@ozon3Easy gays and females are the biggest consumers of music so it makes sense. not everyone wants dumbass gangbangers and musty straight dudes at their concerts
As a la baby born and raised these is hella accurate down to the wrapped hair and outfits light candles on a Main Street and peeking on that side block
kendrick can make hits, make conscious music, make happy music, make angry music, make depressing music, introspective music, great videos, but most of all he represents our southern cal region proudly. enjoy his music everyone, this stuff doesn't come around much!
As a East Coast guy, GNX makes me feel like E-40's "Tha Hall of Game" made me feel in the 90s. THIS is how hip hop is supposed to work: take you to where they from in sound. CULTURE 🔥
He showin love to the Bay, to the hyphy movement, scraper bikes, everything. Plus he showing love to Chicano/Cholo culture, this video hella dope for all of Cali

@@RobertBeggi I've been almost exclusively listening to rap and hip hop for close to 12 years and I could not tell you more than, like, 3 Drake songs. And he's been making hit songs, that seem to never hit my radar.
I like Nice For What, and that is pretty much it.
Shout out to Kendrick for putting the BBWs in the spotlight.
Except for trippie red 😂😂
Oh yeah ain't nothing better than chocolate Cake😋😋😋
And probably more respectful towards them than Lizzo lmaooo

The reason Kendrick Lamar has had so much success is because his music is authentic. He built a loyal fanbase through focusing on his craft, and not being pressured into sounding like other artists. His success continues to inspire me. Hopefully one day my music can touch the masses such as Kendrick Lamar. But as for now I'm just happy being a fan.
Yesss!!! This comment 👌🏾

perfectly said
He does but this song kinda ass, the ending is good but the hook he does is annoying
That board at 1:43 reads "everything is something" in Latin. The messaging in Kendrick's videos are so layered man
Thanks bruh
I'm a 17 year old rapper from south Africa do you think the music has the potential to be this big? 🤔🇿🇦🔥
Just posted this, glad to see it confirmed ❤❤

I thought it said “everything is fluid”.
Kendrick- squabble up.
Drake- lawyer up.
I like how every Kendrick track is him inviting people to have fun while he violates his enemies
😂😂
LMAOOOOO

He picks the carcass apart, and everybody eats!
😂😂😂😂 not violate
Why is hardly anyone talking about the Christmas parade?!? I’m in ohio and even I’m excited just knowing how amazing and special it will be for him to pop out and give the kids and community in general a magical experience, he truly is a pure soul😌

For any of you who don’t know, the Buick GNX was a car that when it was first made was overshadowed by the corvette, but people revealed the true power of the Buick GNX and it turned out to be better than the corvette and thus was considered a “powerhouse” and was highly sought after. Kendrick is the GNX
So basically the underdog wins
Thank you for this!
Kendrick lamar is also born the same year the buick GNX came out
also rumor has it that GM was so upset with Buick for making the GNX faster than the Corvette that Buick had to stop making it. Looking at some of the rumors that Kendrick had a lot more in the tank w/drake diss tracks but the labels wanted it to end... might be a metaphor there, or that could have all been bullshit, we probably will never know
In the hood it’s known as a Grand National
As an artists, who has been apart of the afrosurrealist movement since before 2020 and the big boom, I'm soooooooooooo happy to see such an authentically black mainstream artist consistently participate and portray the movement and style correctly, hats off to the goat 😌
W
“Afrosurrealist movement” sounds amazing. I’m looking it up now.
I need a boots Riley directed video
Yes. gd black folk have been so devoid of self pride and we need it NOW more than ever. If we ever thought we would be accepted by them nah. Time to get back to loving and caring for the community.
Ditto on the suggestions for Afrosurrealism!
All the West Coast reference in this video. From Hip Hop, Movies and dance. Appreciate how still Kendrick is, focus shift to his surroundings. 🔥

Yessir. I'm Southern born & raised but he really reviving the coast. And I love that.

Ok. Kendrick . Forcing Hip Hop to change direction I see. Pure genius. You either culture or you not. #HipHop is back and outsiders better pay respect when knocking on that door. Debbie Deb sample just nasty
Damn. Ice T album cover reference. Cali culture LA to the Bay...going dumb...black panther flag... The soul train board... Cholos..... Low riders

but is it the right direction? corny ass simple beats , simple ass flows, goofy ass vocal inflections. idk how you can make TPAB then about a decade later you make this garbage. its like going from a colony on mars to the stone age, making finger paintings in a cave.
I grew up off lil Wayne and Kendrick Lamar for times sake.. Kendrick has taught us things lil Wayne hasn't spiritually yet skill wise.lil Wayne has taught us things Kendrick hasn't but the lessons are most definitely different...give these teachers the love and keep it moving. Fo-sho 😎
Yes to all of this!! It’s so Cali and I am obsessed. I love the references from Ice T’s album cover to Anthony in Menace To Society. The candlelight vigil, training the pitbull, low riders, the unity between crips, bloods and chicanos. Maaaann Kendrick is really for the culture and I am here for all of it.

🎯
Anthony?
❤❤❤❤ I’m feeling nostalgic and I’m from Brooklyn 😂😂😂😂
Love it… but I also want to know what was happening in the NLU snippet. That looked like it was going to be a less celebratory day. 😂
Kendrick is uniting the bloods & crips, SoCal & NorthCal, and the black and Hispanic culture. If you pay attention to his videos, you can tell the different how certain people dance if they are from NCal or SoCal. I am very impressed with his message.
This!!!!
Hes making world peace
Most definitely dopest album of the year
Showing the styles and culture from LA, the Bay, and both black and brown sides. Cali love.

I love scrolling down to the comment section just to learn what every person or sign in the video represents. WHOLESOME this one.
Agreed I do this with several Kendrick songs, MVs, and certain choices made.
As a East Coast guy, GNX makes me feel like E-40's "Tha Hall of Game" made me feel in the 90s. THIS is how hip hop is supposed to work: take you to where they from in sound. CULTURE 🔥
Love this
finally someone said what ive been saying!!
By design. You see he had the hyphy movement in this video 💯💯💯💯
this is precisely why NY Hip Hop ain't poppin' and ain't been poppin'. NY been having an identity crisis :(
bro i wish he had featued some bay artists on the album. the album's sound is hella bay area
He showin love to the Bay, to the hyphy movement, scraper bikes, everything. Plus he showing love to Chicano/Cholo culture, this video hella dope for all of Cali

and The Roots
Dope because it covers every element of California hood culture.
