+H2O Crew Im sure hes talking about GKMC era, some people didnt believe he was the best back then, but now no one dares even to breath on him. Which serves them right
"J. Cole running late. If he don't show up, think I could take his place? Ladies started laughing. No pun intended I ain't being sarcastic" This aged like fine wine 🍷
that line was about the xxl freshman class. jay rock got invited but Kendrick didn't, but Kendrick traveled with him. j cole was late to the meeting and Kendrick offered to take his spot. if you listen to the full stanza he tells most of the story "I was at xxl just trying to excel networking, meanwhile my stomach turning wanted to be a part of it cater it to my audience j cole running late if he don't show up, think I can take his place ladies start laughing no pun intended I ain't being sarcastic" he also says after "said ill see him on the bubble in the future, my dude I salute ya".

It’s a reference to when he showed up at a performance where Cole was supposed to perform with one of his labelmates (forgot which one), Cole was late and Kendrick asked if he didn’t show could he take his place. He was laughed at.
+Jason Clark I know that j cole is great. But to say j cole is on the same level as kendrick is simply not true, Im not trying to down play j cole, but dont down play k dot, that savage dropped 3 classic albums in a row.
Ultra Asmr i know. Kendrick is personally better to me too. But im saying j cole in 09 and 2010 was on the same level as anyone in the game man. Kendrick was better to me but if anything cole wasnt far behind. Kendrick has that mpph that elevates him.
Ultra Asmr Don’t forget Cole makes all his own beats. All 4 of his albums went platinum while Kendrick only has 3. And two of those albums were with no features.
BIYM Picasso L 😂😂 ppl still use the no features thing lmao pure skill Kendrick is on a different level than Cole. Talking about stats. Kendrick has his own number 1 song and DAMN is 3x platinum nigga
We winning Grammys now. every time i watch this video I cry. I remember everyday constantly playing the Kendrick Lamar EP, and Overly Dedicated on my bus rides to school in seventh grade. I'm eighteen now and I graduate in three months, but every time I watch this I feel something. A sense of hope, faith, belief in a Dream. As a fan it's such a blessing to see someone you look up to actually make such a big difference in the community of L.A. And serve as an inspiration the children around the world. Thank You. HiiiPower forever 🙏🏾

Rap beef aside, this feels nostalgic despite me hearing this for the first time. The beat and flow ironically gives early 2010s east coast vibes. Reminds me of my childhood growing up in NY.
“J.Cole runnin’ late, if he don’t show up, you think I can take his place? Lady start laughing.. no pun intended, I ain’t being sarcastic!!” The bar hits completely different today! Over a decade later and Dot still has that same hunger to be known as the best!! It’s refreshing to see in hip hop!
"I was at the Double XL, trying to excel, networking, meanwhile my stomach turning, wanted to be apart of it, cater to my audience, J.Cole runnin' late, if he don't show up, think I can take his place? Ladies started laughing, no pun intended, I ain't being sarcastic, homie showed up with about 20 bags and fresh off the plane, I couldn't even complain, my nigga was on his hustle, I introduced him my name, said I'll see him on the bubble in the future, my dude I salute ya"..... Kendrick is so fucking dope man. His wordplay, delivery and quotables in this were sick... Not to mention this was one of his first songs to get noticed.
It’s Cool this year is not over and I ain’t counting him out until the ball drop I think he got something that’s going to catch the industry by surprise after this is all said and done dot and drake got it coming but dot still nice tho lbs

Great to see a young brother so hungry actually make it and do it how he planned. I wonder if he ever looks back at these old joints... True inspiration!
Seeing him looking at that Marvin vinyl and listening to part V and the Marvin sample is so wholesome. This man not even halfway done yet and has produced some of the most powerful pieces of musical art in recorded history 🐐 Raw talent coming through 12th ago and still flowing to this day with, a super polished talent.
12 years later back here once again to relish in the beauty that is this song. Part 5 just goes to show the dedication to the craft is something that shows Kendrick transcends the normal plane.
The heart part 1: "Pad on the hill that's a passion of mine" The heart part 4: "House on the hill house on the beach... condo in compton i'm still in reach." Man I feel so blessed to see Kendrick's growth as an artist, and to see how much his career has taken off. He deserves it so much, he worked hard. and it's admirable how he's stayed humble and grounded in such a poisonous industry. Been a fan since day one and will always root for k.dot
Had to come back after watching the heart part 5 to breathe in the growth but also the undeniable magic that's been there since the start!! This man is the GOAT! Raw, pure magic!
Drake fucked up mentioning anything about The Heart series. Now all his fans gonna see this and start understanding Kendrick’s fire burns harder

Very good first song to hear
A lil' Compton nigga
Just a lil' Compton nigga
One time for my niggas
You know Compton, nigga
Just a lil' Compton nigga
Kendrick Lamar
[Verse]
Back with a vengeance
Back with my heart and I'm venting
Back with another war pendant, salute me or shoot me
I never wore a kufi, ignore my religion
I believe there's one God, there's one love
And I believe if I fly, we all doves
I make a way for my people to see the light
Brighter than yellow bones
Me and my microphone could be one
Until I see BIG, Pac, see Pun but this ain't Eazy
I can't take a Big L, my city needs me, I gotta win
The proof is in the pudding
And I been fucking with Cosby since I was ten, you damn right
By any means necessary get campaign right
Very emotional I'm a Gemini, I love hard and I fight harder, a born author
A born starter, in the game for real
And the games appeal to the struggling youth with no father
You can't learn if mistakes ain't made
You gotta pay homage in order to get paid
You gotta pay attention in order to pay dues
And you ain't gettin' it, 'til you start payin' Jews
Lifestyles of the young and the broke
With my hand under oath, I recite these quotes
And if I ever lie then I die where I stand as a pest not a man what I wrote through a rap
In order to see the front, I had to play the back
We played our position, we let ya'll play ya'll selves, ya'll made ya'll decision
We pray while we prey on competition
To flip another page of Corinthians
I see stars when I write these sentences
Words crash cars when I write these sentences
Open jail bars for my niggas life sentences
Free J-Dove, kill all witnesses
Ya'll better hope 2012 really real, cause the way I feel I'mma make ya'll suffer
And take ya'll supper
I haven't ate in the last 22 summers and I'm 22 now it's about to go down
So en garde, my God we got these artists in awe
Oh, I'm free
Finally I can say I'm me
The Kendrick Lamar EP, classic EP
The question concerns
I dropped it and gave the whole world my germs
Hope ya'll infected
Hope ya'll ain't have no protection
Still I'm progressing, room for improvement
Make room for the groom married to his music
I was at the XXL just trying to excel
Networking, meanwhile my stomach turning
Wanted to be apart of it cater it to my audience
J. Cole runnin' late
If he don't show up, think I can take his place
Ladies start laughing
No pun intended I ain't being sarcastic
Homie popped up with about twenty bags and
Fresh out the plane I couldn't even complain
My nigga was on his hustle I introduced him my name
Said I'll see him on the bubble in the future, my dude I salute ya
Contributing the real shit
Talk about it make the people talk about it
Make the world see, for every MC that I see tryna stay afloat
Tell 'em build a boat like Noah
And take him to a place that I'm sure we all can blow up, boom
I ain't a star yet but I'm gettin' close to em
And if you see a whack artist do more than boo him
Throw him off the banister, shoot him on camera
Then kill his manager
Then hang a banner up, that reads you can't proceed without bein' conceived by one album of the 90's
On Rosecrans where you'll find me
And all my niggas is grimy
But I remain the good kid
Tryna make a difference where I'm from, where you live
Oh no we got to slow the city down
I told the homeboy pump his brakes
He said that he rather put the pump to his face
Sawed off
Torture, turn the saw off, its scorchin'
Hot where I'm from, the newscasters don't come
Another ratchet got dumped, in the trashcan I ain't done
A baby in there with it
She said postpartum did it
Molested at eleven and she always reminiscing
When he was undressing said it'll only be a minute
That's why I always think I'm kicking something with feeling
I should've been a dentist
I should've been a blizzard-cold
Flash, pose, flash, pose, a critic paparazzi got me on my toes
I wanna jump on him like a tad-pole, tad-pole, ass-holes
Tryna kill my dreams
Not elevate
Those are not my dreams, I'll be straight
With a little bit of passion
And a drive like an Aston
Motivation from Nipsey or Glasses, Jay Rock
Mykestro , Bad Lucc, U-N-I
Dom Kennedy, Murs and Fashawn
Lady G, Willy B in time
Ima blow like I'm mothafuckin' sniffing lines
Go like I never seen a red light shine
Flow to my heart, hit the flo' when im dying
Heart of a lion, tell em get in line
And pass the baton, I won't pass it back I ain't good at dimes
If the bitch bad I could pass you a dime
Haters better duck like I'm passing a pond
Know I'm the king and I'm passing you pawns
Pad on the heel that's a passion of mine
Problem is I shine like two mics under heavy strobe lights
I'mma need two mics just to get my point across
I'mma get my joint across, country ya'll gon' want me
Great to see a young brother so hungry actually make it and do it how he planned. I wonder if he ever looks back at these old joints... True inspiration!
He don't look back it's in his heart
@@andilemanqobamthimkhulu some corny shit but I fw it
He was always number 1. He had that hunger since day 1. Never switched up. #KungFuKennythe🐐
I’m just amazed at his lyrical versatility. Especially with how young he was when this came out.
Seeing him looking at that Marvin vinyl and listening to part V and the Marvin sample is so wholesome. This man not even halfway done yet and has produced some of the most powerful pieces of musical art in recorded history 🐐 Raw talent coming through 12th ago and still flowing to this day with, a super polished talent.
This is why the man is GOAT to me. This song is a masterpiece and it’s so early in his career

They Not Like Us
They Not Like Us
They Not Like Us
12 years later back here once again to relish in the beauty that is this song. Part 5 just goes to show the dedication to the craft is something that shows Kendrick transcends the normal plane.
This will always be my favorite song by Kendrick Lamar
str8 pressure
Astro Fish hmmm...-more like cloud 10 or monster freestyle
Astro Fish for me anyway
Those are also Kendrick classic can't forget those
Same
FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE GAME TO THE TOP BRASS, KDOT IS UNDENIABLY ONE OF THE GREATEST TO DO IT. HEART PART V
Feels like this came out yesterday Kendrick >>>
Only kendrick fans will find this
The original will always be a classic but Kendrick did more than justice on the beat!
Oh okay so the original/ beat is UMI says by mos Def?
@@yaboyJoe3515 yes
anybody know the original sample?
@@swisher1849 bro literally look one comment above yours 🤦🏼♂️
@@yaboyJoe3515 bro he means the sample that made the original. The 70s shit...
always been a big fan of kendrick. coming back now and listening to everything he's put out just made me realize how slept on he was.
I been a fan since 2012 but I’m just now hip to the heart series
I hope Kendrick makes a song called The Heart Part 6 just to show Drake he ain't shit. And I think he will
He deserved to blow up like he did. Timeless music
Kendrick Lamar.
Jermaine Cole.
Jay Rock.
Nipsey Hussle.(R.I.P.)
Ab Soul.
W music video. W song. ✨💫
B.O.B
This is beautiful. This is art.
The heart part 1: "Pad on the hill that's a passion of mine"
The heart part 4: "House on the hill house on the beach... condo in compton i'm still in reach."
Man I feel so blessed to see Kendrick's growth as an artist, and to see how much his career has taken off. He deserves it so much, he worked hard. and it's admirable how he's stayed humble and grounded in such a poisonous industry. Been a fan since day one and will always root for k.dot
Pt 1: "A lil Compton nigga"
Pt 4: "I am the greatest rapper alive"
Read this as he said it
Now P.5
"I'm free finally I can I'm me" sickest line in this song
"KENDRICK LAMAR EP CLASSIC EP"
Can't wait for The Heart Part 4
A Rock well well well
😊
A Rock we eating fam
Did you like it
Fr I want to hear what you think
this one still my favorite i love the Mos Def instrumental and the way he flows just goes crazy
Is cool to see a person start with not much to have everything they ever wanted.. we love you Kendrick 🔥🙏🙏
Beat is a cover/interpolation of “UMI says” by Mos Def, one of the greatest. Long live Black on Both Sides. Timeless music.
Samples on Black on both sides are fire 🔥🔥
@@shipshoptoolsoklama8172 Mos def king!
Nostalgia every time I hear the beginning. It never gets old this what made me a die hard Kendrick Lamar fan since 2011
The world was sleeping on “Rigormortis” KDot.. 🔥🔥
Same bro. The progress that he’s made is crazy, this came out when I was a kid. I grew up with his music so to see how far he’s come is truly amazing.
Timeless.
This man was destined to be the GOAT
Had to come back after watching the heart part 5 to breathe in the growth but also the undeniable magic that's been there since the start!! This man is the GOAT! Raw, pure magic!
Faxxx
J. Cole, Ab-Soul, and Kendrick at 2:09 .. within 4 years they've become three of the best right now!
It's been way more than 4 years for Kendrick and Ab-Soul
facts
i thought it was frank ocean😅🤣
He’s the greatest to ever do it fr
Damn this was shot same day my brother died.. 🙏🏾 rest easy Q
Rip… 🙏🏾
Sorry for your loss man 😔
@@daswjon thanks fam
@@eggyeggbean thank you 🙏🏾
How have I lived the last 14 years without knowing this existed 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
They all seem so much happier back then
They were young and wreckless, Im sure they are still as happy, but they are mature
when the whole world sees you as Pac reincarnated, that's enough pressure to live your whole life sedated
Before they soul their souls
@@nielascension958 what? Kendrick still puts out quality music
@@nielascension958 what could possibly possess you to say this about Kendrick
Absolutely stunning how he can put his emotions into bars like this. There's no one like kendrick I'm sorry
Don't apologize
Tears . Kendrick came so far , everyone in TDE did . Love this success, beautiful music and beautiful souls.
One of my favorite artists right now. Keep doin it my dude!!

Damn you a OG fo real, he's one of the greatest ever now
Hope you doin okay Nikki!
This person experienced Kendrick from the start, from no name to goat
Crazy how this dude was 22 when he made this
