Maybe that’s kendric’s whole metal health plan to stay grounded. Make a billion dollars but every night on tour ten thousand souls scream at you like the word of god with a command of humility.
@@halfashine6348 Most music nowadays in on 4/4 time. Doesn't mean shit. A lot of insanely technical music is on 4/4. If you think 4/4 makes anything easy you don't know shit about music.
I watched Kendrick open for Mac & Wiz in 2012 and watched him grow to having sold out arenas singing every word just a few years later. Let the internet tell it the hype isn’t real. Didn’t need to drop every 6 months to do it either.
Me in 30 years haha i listened to french rap when I was about 14-15 and today most of them are out of the business and I can’t wait to make my kids listen to french/english rap from the 90’s
@ANANT Over the several years I’ve had this up it had only totaled to around 10k views and then out of nowhere it took off. I have to assume the Baby Keem feature got it thrown into an algorithm. I never figured any of the short clips I take of some of my shows would ever get more than a couple hundred views lmao.
@@biscuit6302 exactly. especially with 2.5minutes songs with the chorus repeated 4 times so only 16 bars of actual lyrics. pop music is no better. honestly pretty much all music that isn't tool. humble is a great exception tho, very lengthy by today's standards and pretty heavy on the wordsmith side
I have no idea why RU-vid recommended this to me - I don't know this artist or song and it's not the genre I usually listen to - but it gave me goosebumps and I love the connection of the artist and his audience and the passion in that room. It must have been an incredible experience live! I'm off to listen to the song so I can understand what the audience is singing. :)
@@Solotv84 I did! I went to listen to other music by him. I can see why he won a Pulitzer - his lyricism is poetic and he has a presence that is infectious in the best way. :)
I don’t think people realize the wonderful irony happening here. A guy on stage is being chanted at by a crowd of his fans to be humble, what an unhumbing experience!
Well he is a big follower of the hermetic principles and seriously devoted to a higher power in terms of the universe being a mirror and what you put out is what comes back. So this is quite a beautiful example of symmetry at work.
Can’t even imagine what chemical reactions he’s going through; he’s probably feeling emotions that only a very select handful of people have felt in history. I bet this is why many rulers in ancient history started believing they were gods or were chosen by gods.
bro. ok. i once played a random house show in nashville and these three dudes drove from columbus to see my group perform (which was crazy enough) and during a few verses i had these fuckin kids yelling my own lyrics at me and i straight up cried like a BITCH after our set. absolutely floored me. people i've never met drove to a state i'd never been to so they could watch me perform live and they knew the words to my songs. how is life real
damn their rhythm is spectacular, they didn't rush at all which youd expect almost anywhere kendrick starting the stomping in time and the crowd following was super cool
Actually they did, but only slightly. Every-time KL joined (the foot stomping for example) in he was actually keeping them in time because he has the click track in his ear.
I think the "wisdom of the crowd" allowed them to all average out to about the same (correct) tempo. Like someone else here said, they were very very slightly too slow because Kendrick would cut them off a fraction of a second before the crowd stopped singing; he has the ticker so he cut in at the exact right time for the song which means the error the crowd made was actually really small when you think about how long of a stretch that it was just the crowd singing
This is one of the best things I've seen on the interwebs in YEARS. The foot stomp got me! I'm 55 and only know Kendrick through my kids, but now I'm about to dive in and check out this young man's music. #BeHumble
As Drake famously said... we don't need Award shows when the crowd does this and they come to see the artist even in terrible weather conditions at outdoor events... they've already won.
I actually don't think I've ever seen anything like this before 💀💀💀 like it's a full arena first off... And for them all to know the lyrics word by word like that and being that loud. No beat or anything 😭😭 I'm actually shitting my pants rn fully goosebumped
Imma be honest, you probably don’t have a job or a life and nobody loves you either. If this is the way to cure your depression, then go for it, but just remember that nobody ever will love you, and even though every human deserves love, you’re the only exception.@@ctechyt
I feel like for any artist hearing and watching their fans sing with passion (and without missing one word)their songs, it’s the most rewarding thing in the world!
he made a whole song to have HIS FANS casually CHANT AT HIM "sit down and be humble" he took that feeling of having a crowd sing your song to the next level
This is why he deserved a fucking Pulitzer. I don't even know what kind of feelings he must've felt in that moment. Having an entire crowd recite a verse like that and specially such a strong song like Humble.
@@seeker296 there are one's for music and poetry also but quite a stretch from it's original direction to award one to hip-hop...also there are not 73 pulitzers for music. only 22 categories 1 is music
This is the definition of ecstasy....this is why famous artists who are not grounded struggle outside the limelight. Not many things can replicate the sheer power of that moment and moments like those
I was lucky enough to see him in NYC right after this album release, not only one of the best rappers I've ever seen, but one of the best performers all around, if you have the chance, don't think twice, just go see him. He literally has an entire band play his beats, forget a DJ.
Amazing crowd control. I'm calling it now, if Kendrick drops this year, I'm projecting his first week sale to be near 1 million. 700,000 to 935,000 hard copies sold his first week.
the fact that one side of the Crowd were singing "Be Humble,sit down" and other side doing the Ad-Libs (hol up,uhh,hol up lil bi**) makes it sound perfect and well sincronize I love crowds like this when they improvise
Gotta give the guy credit. A lot of rappers just play the original tracks and scream over them - Travis, ASAP, etc. This dude was rapping over an instrumental
@@Petey44 Seriously. So much so that when I saw Jack Harlow live I was really disappointed because J.Cole sets the bar so high not even the air force could find it. ;)
