Breakfast Club Classic - Kendrick Lamar Talks Overcoming Depression, Responsibility To The Culture 

I love how Kendrick stops, thinks and then speaks

Lol the ones who be sayin he to "preachy," be the main ones that need to be preached to.

I love his speaking voice.

Kendrick seems like such a great person. Total role model. Like when they make a dig on someone, even jokingly, he doesn't judge them, like he'll laugh a little bit so they aren't feeling weird, and then follows it up with a compliment about that person. Even when he's talking about Ferguson and people's reaction, he doesn't seem angry, he just seems sad. That's a level of emotional intelligence that most people just don't reach.

Charlemagne's skin tone determines how old the video is lol.

Who's here after Not like us

He so humble and speaks so pleasantly..

I want a whole audio book read by him 🥺

I could listen to Kendrick talk about random stuff all day

Every single kendrick album is a classic i dont care what yall say

I just looked up his fiancée who’s been with him since high school, and she is not only absolutely stunningly beautiful, but has stuck by Kendrick for a long time and they are best friends. Just... I love healthy relationships and keeping it private seems like the right choice, just to honor something precious like that and keep themselves grounded.

Who's still watching even though it's a throwback 💎

Pac would be so proud of Kendrick

His voice is so soothing, sounds like a warm hug

I am fifty years old and I admire Kendrick Lamar, J. Cole and others like them. I told my daughter I'm from the old school rap, and the rappers now having nothing to say but about Bitches, hoes, money, and killing. My daughter says true Mama but listen to Kendrick Lamar and I have loved his music and J. Cole every since. I like when someone trying to put out a message for our people. I Love my Black People we need to be united in Love and Grow as a People.

Ken Lamar is still the best of the current generation. He is a true artist not a reality star. He seems like he's always in the creative process and that's probably why he's not doing tons of interviews. He is a man who spends a lot of time thinking and chooses his words carefully when he speaks. Mad love and respect.

he's so humble and intelligent

damn, even the coolest dudes can fall into depression

Who's still watching in 2019?

He was right, 5 years later and I’m still listening to Good kid maad city and To pimp a butterfly

had to come back after hearing meet the grahams

i know this is really old but it just makes me feel good knowing j. cole and Kendrick talk on the regular

" i dont expect nothing, i just put the music out" love that statement, its always great to never have expectations or you will get let down.

can’t believe that’s his actual voice. dude’s undeniable

Charlamagne like " So when you met Pac in Cuba..." lmaooo

I Really Miss Kendrick ❤️ Whose Here In 2019

Kendrick is the reason why hip hop still alive #facts

*Every time he talks you can hear the realness in his voice* 👌

I love what he stands for. His voice is is so calming and his music has a lot of meaning. He’s one of the only good rappers alive rn ❤️✊🏾

The 🐐

His voice is very satisfying to me😁

K Dot is a different breed! A man who thinks before he speaks; speaks so eloquently and ever so humble. Forever my guy!!

Kendrick is G.O.A.T .. I personally feel like enough time has passed to determine that!!! He's one of the greatest lyricist of our time!!

"i make music for people in the prison system and college kids coz they got nothing else but time" understood from a college student

Being a fan and looking back at what Kendrick has been through to become one of the top artist in this industry is amazing. He literally resonates with his fans through music and continues to grow individually as a person who I respect and admire.

16:50 I predicted this back in 2015. I told my friends who disliked Butterfly that in a year or more, they were gonna love this album and what happened... It took my one friend 1 year to love this album and the rest of my friends almost 4 years to appreciate. Classic albums take time to grow

He is high-key cute😭 and he is above all the media industry validation. I will listen to him every time he speaks something. 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌 n all his songs

Kendrick is such a well spoken guy

This man is revolutionary. Old soul. I'm 37 years old, and dudes like Kendrick are crazy rare. I'm a lifelong music addict, and his music and words are timeless, and his stance in America is absolutely essential. Pay attention young men. This ain't just a rapper, he's a fucking well spoken, cool, and collected man. We need more of them.

I love how he said about Killer Mike, “he’s gonna continue to do it too” and he had a phenomenal album this year.

You can tell how good a rapper is by how well they answer interview questions

Kendrick got such a beautiful spirit man!

I like what he stands for

This interview is classic because at the time this dude just came off dropping one of the most important albums of the decade

of course he suffered from depression. when someone so smart tries to help people in ways that are better for them than what they themselves would have done and then gets negative traction from them because they can't cope with how the real world works, it is bound to cause damage.

Euphoria brought me back in 2024.

His voice is sooooo calming 😩

KENDRICK FOR PRESIDENT 👏🏽😭

I love his smile AND the way he talk!!

Intellect and Wisdom. The main ingredients for a meaningful life.

got damn he fine. his voice is amazing

Kenny has such an old soul ❤

Kendrick Lamar is definitely one of the coolest rappers in the game.

“I couldn’t do no tours, no awards, I was focused on the deadline” dedicated and that’s the thing I like about Kendrick he always gets the job finished!

This young man has a Godly spirit, people should allow him to be him, even for his young eyes. You continue to do your work Kendrick Lamar.🎼😇

Its almost 2020 and I'm still waiting on that Kendrick & Cole album!!

"Malcolm X , Martin Luther King , Jesus Christ" Wise Man

2:35 very true. One day you can hate the way that someone walks, the way that they talk and the way that they dress, and the next you can not have a hatin' bone in your body

I give you MY RESPECT kendrick you the greatest and the most humble rapper that i ever seen ..

5 years later and I love this man more then before. He is so humble, intelligent and full of wisdom. ❤

'I don't expect nothin', I just put the music out' - GOAT

Its 2020 and Kendrick Lamar is still on top. Kendrick is a true artist and he is true to himself and does not let the industry use him as a puppet. He is a true Musician..he hasn't let his music take a back seat to his lifestyle like many rappers have!

Did anyone else notice Charlamagne's mouth spasm when he chuckled at 29:31 ??!! Like wtf was that 😂😭💀

his voice is so damn 😍

love that he is super calm i have never watched a interview with him

This mans spirit is just beautiful :)

I absolutely adore this man

His demeanor, his voice😍

It's May 2021 and I was just listening to good kid m.A.A.d city the other day and my God yes, his music holds up. Kendrick tells stories. Each song is part of a bigger picture. That's what makes him so fascinating to listen to. We all wanna hear what he has to say. Every single album of his is great imo. Can't wait for the next album. Whenever that is because I'll wait forever if I have to 🤷🏾‍♀️

I look at Kendrick in this period and his look....the look in his eyes, the expression on his face, the way he speaks, the energy he gives and it reminds me of my brother who has schizoaffective disorder and it makes me wonder if what Kendrick says in the beginning of The Blacker the Berry is true "It's such a shame they may call me crazy, They may say I suffer from schizophrenia or something, but homie you made me"

Most influential album of our generation man . Genius !!

The 2 greatest rap albums of all time are both written by this man.

This is why hes my favorite artist, excited for his album tonight!!

To pimp a butterfly is my favorite Kendrick lamar album hands down the best 💕💕💕 I could really feel it

Literally can listen to him all day

This is therapeutic to watch ! Love this interview.

2:50 I love how he looks at her and then goes back to the guy then back to her In my family they would just never go back to me

I'm older than Kenny, but godamn, he is incredible! As an artist and as a human being!

Kenny's voice is ASMR af

Kendrick sounds exactly like his songs

So much admiration for this man

I'm not mad that it's old. I love Kendrick!

I want Kendrick to read me bed time stories and I’m 18💀

You know when people talk about cool kids...Kendrick Lamar is the original definition of COOL. He's just so damn real.

He is so handsome😍

_his speaking voice is beautiful ❤️_

Look at how he's sitting down and being humble. Love Kendrick

why is his voice so amazing?

Most humble artist/rapper/legend!

I loved Kendrick Lamar he's a great artist I wish him nothing but the best in life.

Kendrick “you feel what I’m saying” Lamar.

This is a real human here. Someone that can acknowledge his flaws, be humble, and have the most confidence ever! He’s also the greatest rapper ever

July 2019??? This interview is legendary 💯

We all need to protect kendrick for real

Bro I could listen to this man talk ALL DAY.

Like Halle song says do you mistake your flaws FOR PROPERTY......EVERYONE HAS FLAWS BUT OWNING AN CORRECTING THEM IS KEY..HES HUMAN ..WHAT EVER HIS EXPERIENCES HAVE BEEN GOOD OR BAD IN PUBLIC EYES HES WORK ON CORRCTING THEM...THIS IS A TRUE LEADER.......

There is something about this man that make me see him more an artist

Who here after all the dissin 😂

Love this interview.

The 2Pac interview on TPAB is from a swedish radio show called P3 Soul by journalist Mats Nileskär.
