Man I remember listening to this when I was around 19/20yrs old and been laughed at when I was saying kdot was the goat back then and now listening to this at 33yrs old many years later like, I was right 😂😂
I remember burning all of kendrick's mixtape on a cd so I could listen to them in my car. I havent listened to this mix tape in so long. The nostalgia of bumping this while mobbing through compton, long beach & inglewood is real right now lol
I am just hearing this for the first time. I always respected Kendrick, but never bumped him like that. This is one of the greatest mixtapes I have ever heard. I am so blessed to discover this. This heals my soul.
God bless satan, God bless God. There is no evil, Only sin...We inherited sin. God created satan God is almighty and all powerful....if He is ominiscent.... He knows our every action before we even think about it. God is satan. If god says he cant lie and god is the devil its just a lie that you believed.... Fucking Simp. The devil is a lie Hows that for a controversy
I've been listening to rap and hip hop since I was a child, I'm 46 now. I can't remember an artist being as good as K-Dot. He gets better and better like a fine wine. I'm hearing this for the first time and I am floored. Amazing doesn't properly describe Kendrick.
G with a capital and nothing at all like the fallen lower g, take note as real eyes see through the notes only to expose. I hope you are giving your faith and praise to YHWH!
Hip Hop will never die, it doesn't matter if we only make 10 % of the total population of the whole world but the bottom line is we are keeping Hip Hop alive
Listening to these mixtapes when Kendrick is gone makes up for the lack in projects. It’s crazy how good Kendrick was so early in the game. All the instrumentals and flows are complete 🔥🔥
Always makes me think deep when I hear his music I go back in time to when I was a kid I can almost watch it like it's a movie it's weird man, music does some crazy shit.
Goosebumps on that first track, lyricism with wisdom ❤ This whole album is about to create a paradigm shift, like elevating in mind, heart, body and spirit, I love Hip Hop/ Rap with mind, heart and soul, that kind that really speaks to you deep within, this is a classic ❤
Astonishing! I was today years old listening to this. Kendrick never ceases to amaze me. I'm waiting for his new music but I'll be bumping this for 2022 until it arrives.
I remember I went to California. I heard Ken with MC 🎱 for the first time. I was shocked, I went around telling everyone about him like I was from the west coast.
I'm A Kendrick Fan But Wow, I've Never Heard This Mixtape. (Don't Judge Me). Before I Clicked On This Mixtape, I Already Knew I Was Going To Love It. Whole Album Just Flows. Kendrick Is "That King".
Man I remember this popping up in my suggested around the time this must have been uploaded. Spent countless times trying to find it again but with no hope. Today, I was blessed by the algorithm once more. God bless the algorithm.
This is one of the greatest beats ever made. It was awesome when Jay Z rapped to it and it's just as awesome in this version. I always imagine this song as the final encore of the night, where everybody's having one last drink and enjoying the vibes, because life can be fucked up sometimes, but there's always time for love and music with your fellow human beings. Peace
I was introduced to Kendrick Lamar by husband in 2009. Didn't take the time then to appreciate him. Then in 2012, his radio airplay grabbed my attention and been listening more deeply since ❤
Little Johnny to me is one of the most mindblowing storytelling in music Kendrick even in his youth put together some of the most vivid storytelling I have heard.
Kendrick is such an important artist because his popularity proves you don't have to sell out and can be completely yourself and still achieve mainstream success! always stay true and be you 100% no matter what! Never sell out and go against who god made you to be!!! amen 🙏🏻🧘🏻♂🍵👁☀🌳👣🎤💎
Talk about staying true to your style. To organic you can see remnants of this across the entire discography. Greatest to ever do it, protect him at all costs
Dude I want a studio album with this sound! He's flow is flawless and the instrumentals are on point. Hip Hop really sounds through on this compilation. Really like Imagine (perfect chill thinking mood)
In the beginning I was all hype about the beef. But been a while. I'm still bingeing. But now I'm just thinking about my life, my wife and daughter. My struggles, the struggles of others.
Back again for some good music. Still hits home like the first time. I believe people that listen to this share my interests in life. I can't imagine mumble fans like this.
I mean, I 100% enjoy mumble rap, I also love this. Think of it more abstract, a mumble rap song, with all elements that make the song combined is just a collection of frequencies, if it hits, it hits, if it doesn't, it doesn't. Don't hit my consciousness for feeling the frequencies :)
Started listening to Kendrick yesterday. Haven't stopped since. I've heard how good Kendrick was, now I know what you all have been singing his praises about. And I'm an old Lupe fiasco, and I hear Lupe in there. Now I've got the best of both worlds.
always seen this but thought it was fake, it just played on its own and im given a gift. he always had the potential, he really got better and better every single day. very nice
2023…. Sitting back painting a portrait & randomly pops up! Haven’t listened to it in a while but this mixtape is timeless & blessing when it plays organically.
I've grown up, and one of my biggest goals was to know everything about this man, and I keep getting surprised with mixtapes albums and rare videos this is beautiful
Crazy .... No one can touch that kind of story telling, Only J.cole comes close.. drake just be putting slick lines together ... this dude right here paints a picture.

Barely it's old songs from other mixtapes these song are from 2009 and 2010
Your just touching the surface. Once you listen to everything it's insane. It's like watching someone him grow as a person
Ur not a pretty big fan if you havent heard his early work.

Gotta collect every one of this dude’s albums and eps, every single one
returning back to these mixtapes feels so nostalgic, shout out to my brother for putting me on to these gems.
