Kendrick's soul, his creativity, his individuality and his heart is what makes him special. He speaks the truth with a childlike spirit. Micheal Jackson and Tupac , all in one. He is a poet, a visionary, a genius. I love you K, I paint and write poetry, you inspire me everyday.
It’s like Tupac sayin “I see myself as a natural born hustler A true hustler in every sense of the word I took nothin’, I took the opportunities I worked at the most menial and degrading job And built myself up so I could get it to where I owned it I went from having somebody managing me To me hiring the person that works my management company I changed everything, I realized my destiny In a matter of five years, you know what I’m saying?”
+GODSON Official Music I think it's pretty objective, if us humans could entertain such objectivity. You just can't argue with his sick flows, hard work, knowledge and spirit. If someone don't like that then that means it's their opinion that's the problem :)
+GODSON Official Music Simply put, people fear actually not fitting in with the status quo. I done heard people say stupid shit like they don't understand what Kendrick be saying or talking about in his verses. It's not like he's trying hard to be overly complex with his style, it's pretty simple when you actually listen and understand what he's saying. But non the less they'll say they don't understand what he's saying or talking about, but will go and listen to future or young thug mumble some bullshit that no one understands, but yet they'll rock out to it like they understand it when they don't. Them type of fans are what I call dumb smart people.
they don't understand his music you have to have an open mind in order to understand what he's saying and for me I truly get what he's saying, he's my favorite artist cause I can relate to his music
One of my favorite lines from the album was "You movin' backwards if you suggest that you sleep with a tech/Go buy a chopper and have a doctor on speed dial I guess, m.A.A.d City" That's the truth right there. I'm telling you guys, years from now, Kendrick will be looked at as a legend in hip hop.
After watching and listening to T.D.E's music, its not hard to tell that these 4 guys from California are everything but ordinary. Each member shares there talent in a way most artist now a days cant. These California rappers are more than just artist, There brothers! so take notice in the new N.W.A music group that is T. D . E
I hope to god Kendrick doesn't move from this way of rapping in the future. He's probably one of the quickest developed artists, two years ago no one knew him. Now he's everywhere. Love the guy, I really do. I couldn't care less if next year he's on pop songs as long as he keeps doing this.
WE NEED MORE ARTIST LIKE KENDRICK TO HIT MAINSTREAM MEDIA. HE HELPS OPEN BLIND EYES,BLIND EYES THAT TALK NOTHIN BUT NEGATIVE WORDS FOR THE YOUTH. NO LIE
Is he yet? Obvi depends how you count it. You gotta say Rakim, Jay-Z, Nas, Pac, Eminem, Outkast, Kanye West, to me the discussion is over who fills it out, looking at influence u gotta say Drake, Biggie n Wayne. For better or worse all those mother fuckers changed the game forever, HOPEFULLY the next gen will draw from Kendrick to put him there, n I rly do think even if he died or retired rn that would happen
If he died people would praise him. For example, Biggie gets way too much credit, don't get me wrong, incredible rapper. However, he only released two albums during his lifetime. Kendrick's last 4 album's have been incredible, but people still put him so far under the rest.
Paul Turn'd Up Schmidt he has one of the best discographies in Hip Hop, influenced most of the new generation of rappers, and has one of the best albums in music. He top ten bro
Kendrick Lamar × J.Cole Anybody that think K.Lamar or J.Cole trash are mfs that wanna be so hood so bad that they wont acknowledge intellectual rappers.💯
its really a blessing to have more rappers who speak on real life situations, thats where hip hop came from the daily struggle and the mic was a release, please respect this man and others who dig deep in themselves and give music to the masses that is real, good or bad. hip hop is to commercial how will we heal from music when most of us cant afford a 20k chain or a lambo or a bottle of cris? real word smith's need support. bob your head to fantasy and thats all you will get FANTASY
Kendrick is the only rapper that I've been listening to for years that I'm GLAD all y'all got to hear him, keep searching his music, play it everywhere lets all save hip hop make Kendrick the new qualifier to be a rapper, no more Lil Bs
Kendrick is a truly wise individual. I'm really happy for his recent spike in popularity over the last couple of years, as rappers like him deserve it.
So true, Lamar is def an artist that has a big arsenal in terms of where he got his style from and he is one of my favs along with asap and school boy q; he is a breath of fresh air for hiphop right now 4 real
give his albums a few more years and he'll be one of the goats, he already is the best of this age easily. eminem's first 3 albums got rated higher with age
I am now even more impressed with this up and coming MC. May the hip hop gods be with you to put more great music. He is the blue print of what is missing from hip hop, more students of the craft instead of radio single rappers.
I want to be a rapper. But I am not a lyricist. I don't have the extensive vocabulary. But I have the heart and soul for hip hop. I have the ear for Hip hop. I have the beats for hip hop. I have nothing but absolute love for hip hop. There is not a time I haven't had hip hop in my life. I'm not a gangster. But I've lived hardship. I've had life challenges. I'm very observant of the things around me. When it comes to art I'm a perfectionist. But in order to keep that spirit I have to have drive and inspiration. I am from the hood. But I never lived in the hood long enough to know what it was like. Instead I lived with the physical and psychological abuse of the hood through other people. Instead I lived with the knowledge of how to survive in a hostile environment from the streets and the hood. I am a Thug as Tupac defined it, "A person who is going through struggles or has gone through struggles and continues to live day by day." I can talk about love. I can talk about longing. I can talk about wishes. I can talk about hope. I can talk about life. I can talk about death. I can talk about struggle. I can talk about hope. I can talk about anger. I can talk about hatred. I can talk about wisdom. I can talk about the liars. I can talk about the phonys I can talk about the outside world. (Out of the hood or where you're from in general) I can talk about deceit. I can talk about honesty. I can talk about pain. I can talk about being a soldier. I can talk about what hip hop means to me.My favorites of the top of my head: -The Notorious BIG -2Pac -Nas -Eric B. & Rakim -Kendrick Lamar -J.Cole -Eminem -Kanye West (His Late Registration Album) -Dr.Dre (His Beats only) I choose these guys because them talking about life and their struggles and how they got through it made me calm down and look at life differently and also just have peace for those 3, 4, 5 minutes a track until the next track.
Kendrick's got Pac's ability 2 connect N mindset, Biggie's smooth flow N confidence, N Nas's lyrical balance N ability to tell stories. But Has A Completely Different N Unique Sound.#HeIsHisOwnArtist
Not much else I can say that others havent. Inspirational, driven, real. But what nobody seems to notice is that Jay Rock looks the type of guy to sleep with a teddy bear.
I'm not a fan of my favorite rapper (presently) not smoking but that's probably why hes able to put shit together so clean its like poetry. Look at lil wayne now that his brain is made of syrup. All he has to do is blow his nose on his pancakes in the morning. So thank you Kendrick.
They need 2 make a full movie documentary based on Kendricks life & how he grew up 2 become the amazing rapper that he is 2day & it should be in theaters. Like if u agree!!
Kendrick's soul, his creativity, his individuality and his heart is what makes him special. He speaks the truth with a childlike spirit. Micheal Jackson and Tupac , all in one. He is a poet, a visionary, a genius. I love you K, I paint and write poetry, you inspire me everyday.

You said all I want to heard and saying. Thank you very much for you're Commentary. ^_^
Water Dreamin Ophelia he is neither. He is his own person. Much respect to him.
It’s like Tupac sayin “I see myself as a natural born hustler A true hustler in every sense of the word I took nothin’, I took the opportunities I worked at the most menial and degrading job And built myself up so I could get it to where I owned it I went from having somebody managing me To me hiring the person that works my management company I changed everything, I realized my destiny In a matter of five years, you know what I’m saying?”
Nobody can ever be Michael Jackson 😂😂
I can't imagine why some people don't like Kendrick. He's one of the realest and most talented... ever. In my opinion.
+GODSON Official Music I think it's pretty objective, if us humans could entertain such objectivity. You just can't argue with his sick flows, hard work, knowledge and spirit. If someone don't like that then that means it's their opinion that's the problem :)

"Old Soul but my shoes is new."

This dude is perfecting his craft. There is no greater pleasure in this world.
One of my favorite lines from the album was "You movin' backwards if you suggest that you sleep with a tech/Go buy a chopper and have a doctor on speed dial I guess, m.A.A.d City"
That's the truth right there. I'm telling you guys, years from now, Kendrick will be looked at as a legend in hip hop.
you were right
Now he is a legend
You were right.
Defintely right
kendrick is a legend
At the beggining I doubted about his talent, and then I gave section 80 and GOOD KID maad city a chance and damn, been my fav living rapper since then
I'll check it out!
Mortal man, king kunta and the blacker the berry are my favourites but still prefer GKMC
+Yuri Petrenko nas is still alive
Fresh Prince I know hahah
+Brandon West because you're.... overly dedicated
After watching and listening to T.D.E's music, its not hard to tell that these 4 guys from California are everything but ordinary. Each member shares there talent in a way most artist now a days cant. These California rappers are more than just artist, There brothers! so take notice in the new N.W.A music group that is T. D . E
Jay Rock is the big homie. Seems like the most loyal friend
Gnome sane
"kendrick lamar by far realest negus alive"
hell yea
i see this comment before...
I hope to god Kendrick doesn't move from this way of rapping in the future. He's probably one of the quickest developed artists, two years ago no one knew him. Now he's everywhere. Love the guy, I really do. I couldn't care less if next year he's on pop songs as long as he keeps doing this.

Tbh its between him & J Cole for me . I have different artist for different moods
Kendrick Lamar, rise of the greatest.
It feels like top dawg Is a ghost in the music industry
There the underdogs
I wanna see a movie about the TDE story.,
me too
million dollars worth of game.
Kendrick is real, more of a normal guy than a typical rapper/celeb like, he on that J cole tip, no wonder they get along so much#Inspired
Kendrick Lamar's play with words, metaphors and ability to story tell is amazing. We havent had such a vivid storyteller since Mr. Jones.
What got me into K dot was his OD mixtape. Shit was a classic tape man.
I love Kendrick Lamar mann… I hope I get to see at least 1 show of his… the man is an ARTIST..!!!
Kendrick- top 10 best rappers of all time

You are a fucking demented
J B4l1 I'm so sorry professor 🤓 I'll make sure to never make that mistake again...
Or they just don’t enjoy their music cus music is subjective?
I feel like I grew up with Kendrick. That's how involved he gets us into his life through his music. Hip Hop has be revived....thank you Kdot!

King Kendrick!!!!!!!!!!!!!
These guys are just blessed everything was set up and meant to work out for them.
Still Watching 7.5 years later
2024
Redman was the first to say that 'grand piano bar' on da rockwilder..
Damn classic red n meth.
"You ship off keys and we ship grand pianos!"
all the people asking for the names of the songs.. that's how you know Yall aren't real fans
facts
Well, maybe some of them are just now hearing about Kendrick. Also a fan is a fan, there is no need to define someone by their knowledge of something
Lymann walker now that is truth.
When shit hit the fan,will you still a fan?
you are right
Kendrick is a truly wise individual. I'm really happy for his recent spike in popularity over the last couple of years, as rappers like him deserve it.
“ Anything you got a vice for, you got times ten.” The limelight truly is just that, a light. Whatever there is about you will show.
Happy 10 years.
Overly Dedicated
So true, Lamar is def an artist that has a big arsenal in terms of where he got his style from and he is one of my favs along with asap and school boy q; he is a breath of fresh air for hiphop right now 4 real
I was at this concert!! BET Music Matters Tour on Sept, 29th @ the Atlanta, GA Tabernacle! My birthday present & 1st concert!! DEFINITELY WORTH IT!!
Kendrick Lamar is smart as hell. Spent the first half of his spitting like a G. Now that the "world is listening" he is telling his true story.
Classic Album
These guys are telling us how they got to where they are... What reason would there be to dislike this video. They're just telling you their life
Kendrick has such a happy smile As far as i know he is the only one who came from a hellish place and isnt evil
DREAM'S OF LIVING LIFE LIKE RAPPERS DO,BUT FOR NOW I GUESS THE SACK WILL DO!....CLEAN ASF!!
he's the greatest in my opinion
lets see if an arguement starts?
+Joel Gutierrez nope
give his albums a few more years and he'll be one of the goats, he already is the best of this age easily. eminem's first 3 albums got rated higher with age
He's so good it pisses me off
So glad Ruslan from TheBREAX mentioned Kendrick and said check out his new album!! Soo glad.
This is Great 🔥👌
living legend in the making....not there yet, but he will be...
I would love to watch a full documentary about Kendrick Lamar and Black Hippy. That would be amazing, they inspire me soo much!
I have listened to GKMC everyday since I bought it
I am now even more impressed with this up and coming MC. May the hip hop gods be with you to put more great music. He is the blue print of what is missing from hip hop, more students of the craft instead of radio single rappers.

Kendrick Lamar one of the most genuine artist, nothing but love💟🎶😄🌠
this is more of a TDE documentary
kendrick is the most inspiring person ive ever heard speak, his words just give me chills and nearly bring tears to my eyes. TDE for fuckin life!!
"i ship keys like a grand piano" - redman" - kendrick lamar
I have felled in the habit of downloading my music but i had to go buy a physical copy of this dude album.
Kendrick is the BEST!!!!
Kendrick's got Pac's ability 2 connect N mindset, Biggie's smooth flow N confidence, N Nas's lyrical balance N ability to tell stories. But Has A Completely Different N Unique Sound.#HeIsHisOwnArtist
Kendrick Lamar the best in this generation
I gotta good feeling that with these greats taking over the rap game and lil wayne retiring soon, we might get back to more conscious hip hop.
& Kendrick Lamar & jay rock are two great artist
watching in 2020
Best Movies
The Godfather
A Bronx Tale
Good Kid m.A.A.d City
Lords of Dogtown
Friday
He doesn't have a movie
BŁacc Øut It's movie level...
Gkmc is basically an audiobook
I LOVE HOW HIS FINGERNAILS STAY SO CLEAN! I CANNOT HELP IT!
One of my favorite new artist for sure
Kendrick inspire me to be that kind of artist
Anyone watching this that aint listened to Ab-Soul's - Control System. Do yourself a favour. It's incredible as well.
Man Kendrick u inspire me I had really bad times in my life and ur music is what gets me by love ur music don't stop
He's a total BEAST!! Got the game on lock and very humble!!
9:42 is art of peer pressure
Good kid, M.A.A.D City is a classic in my eyes already no question.
I love kendrick, hes such a big inspiration to me. Keepin it real
Not much else I can say that others havent. Inspirational, driven, real. But what nobody seems to notice is that Jay Rock looks the type of guy to sleep with a teddy bear.
N.W.A in the late 80's said Compton's N tha House. Kendrick renovated that house in thier honour. Props to K. Dot.
Kendrick Lamar is that dude. Definitely has that IT factor. One of few artists that could impact on such a large scale.
I love this man Kendrick
Great documentary! Thanks!
We need a kendrick lamar movie
"when you're in the limelight anything that you have a vice for is at your demand X 10 and it can kill you"
Both good albums, liked the journey he took us on in good kid mAAd city.
Maaan. The Best Rapper Alive. Kendrick Lamar. good kid, m.A.A.d city, the BEST Hip Hop Album of 2012. Can't wait for the next album to drop.
I'm not a fan of my favorite rapper (presently) not smoking but that's probably why hes able to put shit together so clean its like poetry. Look at lil wayne now that his brain is made of syrup. All he has to do is blow his nose on his pancakes in the morning. So thank you Kendrick.
I know Kendrick Lamar,but do u know-
KING KENDRICK
I can't imagine what else he would rap about. I feel like if he never made another album this would do.
most people who diss kendrick lamar eye cant tace me in a fist fight and kendrick is tha man
They need 2 make a full movie documentary based on Kendricks life & how he grew up 2 become the amazing rapper that he is 2day & it should be in theaters. Like if u agree!!
I think we can all agree when I say that Kendrick won't sell out or sell his soul, I got the highest of hopes for him
gorgeous album.
KENDRICK! HOPE YU GLAD HOPE YU HAPPY TODAY CUZ YU'VE INSPIRED SO MANY PPLE!
I love him and his music
I can post a song on Google Play
Kendrick is the best rapper today

Compton - Kendrick Lamar
2pac,biggie,nas. They're all HipHop!HipHop tells stories bout their lives. Kendrick is one of them.
He was touring with rocky and danny at the time this was being recorded.
true artist
Kendrick is one of the greatest rappers of our time. Hands down.
One of the realest out there.
