Bro just released a world wide banger, dominated the charts for more then a week, went viral on Tik Tok, was the topic of conversation in the music media and even with all this buzz, didn't promote none of his old projects, didn't post a single photo or text on the internet and when everybody thought that he would sell a big interview to a huge media group, he went to a college in his home town to talk for a few minutes with random kids there and went home. He definitely moves different of any artist I know.
Drake could have a speech ghost written for him, he could practice and prepare for days and he still wouldn’t reach even half of Kendrick’s depth. Character speaks volumes
Big facts. He stays humble, remembers where he came from, and knows who is going to be voting, running the country soon. He moves like a culture leader.
He spoke at Compton College graduation. There’s nothing like someone speaking who endured the same struggles. On this day he gave them hope. Blessings🙏🏽💙
definitely not true but u right in the sense a lot of ignorant folks on the internet say ignorant things that come from their personal life n nothin more
yeah man, I actually think most of gen z is very understanding and empathetic, we are just at a point where we've just learned to choose ourselves and our family over some stupid bs. We are not lazy, we simply understand we should only do what we are being paid for. People the older generation simply don't understand that.
I try not to idolize people or put them on pedestals anymore but man... Kendrick is one of the few artists and public figures that pretty regularly inspires me. I have so much respect for the man, I know he's not perfect and he'd be the first person to admit that, especially now with where he's grown to in life. I don't know that these particular words to our generation would mean nearly as much coming from anyone else. God bless Kendrick Lamar Duckworth
I’ve listened to kendrick since I was 14, I’m 23 now and I’m really realizing how much this man’s music and voice saved me from getting myself into bad situations. What a legend man
So your saying his Hobbie is LYING?😂😂 How can you be a real writer if they sent you an info who you never know and you add to your diss song. Heart part 6 is Drake exit to go his way and Kendrick will continue to what he's doing.
At the end of “Real”, his mom is recorded telling him to come back and talk to the young Black and Brown kids, to inspire them and give them hope and it’s so beautiful to see him doing that-not out of ego-but because he genuinely cares. What a beautiful man. 🙌🏾
Yeah. Tell your stories to this black and brown kids, let them know you rose from..... Aand give back, and that the best way..... I cannot remember the words correctly but i remember the clip
He’s so right about being able to think independently…truly one of the most valuable tools in life At least half the replies to this comment are unintelligent and uninformed bullsh*t. So ironic that people point fingers at other groups and claim that they can’t think for themselves when they only developed that perception of that group based off of the news that they watch or based off of Twitter or some unverified study that they don’t have the link to. Everyone wants to point fingers at others instead of just considering how their own perception is affected by their lived experiences, preferred news outlets, family, friends, etc. Literally everyone is naturally biased to some extent. Being an independent thinker is an ongoing effort; you don’t just suddenly become immune to biases. You have to really examine yourself and the influences in your life
that and critical thinking. you don't lose your individuality if you're drinking water and so is everyone else. The best thought sometimes is what everyone does.
He’s so wrong about Gen Z being free thinkers though. They may think differently than previous generations, but they almost all think and act the same as each other. Their idea of education is watching Tik tok, they pretend they’re more mentally troubled than they are too look edgy, or they adopt some weird niche sexuality or gender to help stand out because they haven’t developed any skills or personality to actually standout because they all have ant to be influencers and don’t realize the amount of time spent on social media steals them if their creativity. They pretend to care more about social issues than they do because it gets them clout with all of their friends doing the same. They’re basically my generation (Millennials) if there weren’t at least a small percentage that didn’t become pussies. Truthfully I think Gen X are the most tolerable generation. Grew up liberal enough to not hate gays but traditional enough to realize genderfluid isn’t a gender expression it’s a cry for help.
kendrick is a great person but for gods fucking stop saying he is so much better than everyone else. there are other good celebs, it's your kind of people that makes all kendrick fans look like meat riders
no man is more wise than a man who knows that the next generation will always be better than the last. He's a philosopher and no one can take that away from him
I’m 68yrs Young, I ❤and listen to All of his music-I will share some of his thoughts and wisdom with my 3 pre-teen grandchildren! Even before Tupac-I get Curtis Mayfield vibes from Kendrick’s message music❤️
@@certifiedking9161 clearly, you misunderstood what I meant. Pac was a visionary and most of all a leader. Kendrick has the same traits and energy. Not to mention that his music is positive and powerful and has a message
Standing with KING KENDRICK STANDING FOR THE CULTURE ALL GENERATIONS NEED TO STAND TOGETHER AND SPEAK TRUTH TO POWER LIKE KENDRICK AND KATT THE TWO GOATS OF THIS MODERN INDUSTRY RESPECT TO BOTH OF YOU MAD RESPECT FROM ANOTHER GENERATION
This comment section… i see half of the people he’s encouraging and half of the people he’s speaking on and why he’s saying what he is saying. Independence is the key reason we have flourished, but acceptance of another perspective is whats kept us a float. Balance.
😂 I mean… have you ever watched college kids talk to conservatives that go to their schools. If there is one thing Gen Z is guilty of, it’s being close minded, refusing to listen to other perspectives and being so arrogant they think they know better than their elders. They will be the end of our rule as the world’s super power. They’re more worried about looking righteous than being reasonable.
I agree 100%. As a millennial raising a Gen Z, I always try to instill self value and self awareness in my daughter. She has taken a totally different path in life than I did, and is being serious with her decisions and mindset. She always blows me away with the things she knows and believes in. I try to give her the support and insight I never had. Growing up in the crack epidemic on the Westcoast had me learning everything on my own or from the streets. My parents are still unavailable mentally🤦🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️Millennials know how hard it is, and many of us refuse to put our kids through what we have been through. I pray Gen Z takes heed and receives Kendrick's message. Wisdom is life changing. Use your voices and strive for what is right🙌🏾🫶🏾💪🏾✊🏾
What!? What do u mean had us in a chokehold? It's not like he was a threat to black society! He's always ran around with that same smile Rappin/talkin! Sometimes small talk sometimes big talk same with his lyrics! I go back to him and AB-SOUL! Them boys always had something different to throw out of their brains! Your pretty yourself I might add!
He always cutting my heart into pieces with every words, its uncomfortable as fuck and no facts would feel comfy Thank you kendrick, thank you for waking us up
This is why Kendrick TRULY speaks for the culture. He's never left his roots. He never forgets his neighborhood. He uplifts the kids coming up into adulthood. 🙏
He's right, Gen Z are going to have what it takes to fix what the Boomers ruined. As an Millenial like KL I'm excited to see them thrive where we couldn't 💪
I’m 22 years old and have been saying this for a very long time. There’s no greater thing in life than to have an overload of knowledge and wisdom in you and to speak it so greatly. I hope one day to change the world completely, the justice system changed, more children learning knowledge and teaching their peers, etc. Anyone who is an independent thinker, please don’t stop, continue to elevate!
Drake never gave us nothing mentally. Dumbing us down all he did. Kendrick really give af about this sit, and we should always appreciate what he has to say. ✊🏿
@@chloeeig I'm glad drFake was dismantled by none other than Kenny. He was the fakest rapper in the whole Universe. In all of hip hop lore and rap sagas and lyrical epics who had to practice saying "ni&&a " for 4years and was making millions of other artists hardwork.
Man. His voice somehow gets right to the exact places of my pain and holds them and forces me to accept them and hold them myself because Kendrick is strong and so can i be.
Forsure. I think the big problem (internal) is the overall sense of meaningless to the world, & the big problem (external) is the fabric of culture & community as concepts coming apart in the internet age. But I don't think the kids are bad, they're definitely afflicted by technology but they're not lazy or dumb or useless as some may suggest.
This Young Man has the ability to unite the younger generation by letting the world know that everyone has flaws but you have the ability to think for yourself and to be able to except help from others when you are in need. If this Young Man wants to he can turn the tide on the political leaders who are fighting against the Black Community and all he needs to do is speak his truth. 💪
I need to stop trying to verbally destroy them when they disagree with my truth. It puts me on this constant defensive energy because there is a lot of ignorance we still need to cure out here, and it gets tiring fighting them and trying to help them accept the help, which is the wisdom that is simple but tough to accept, that we all here to love. I need to just say: "I appreciate it :)" and let them go pay for their karma, when they ready to move with this poetry, this abundant beauty, then we can be friends again.
inshaAllah (if God wills it), i hope we are strong enough to go through this hell of a hot mess that generation before us had created. there is always good from the past, but there is also bad. just like anything in life. i hope we could take the good and lessen the bad. word and remind this to myself as well.
@@travisknight1360 You are beauty breathing. I can feel it on this great read of a comment. I smiled all the way through each word. Thank you divine one, thank you.
@@lonewolf7704 my pleasure. i came from a very dark place, but that doesn't stop me to find the light. may God bless you with health and wealth to keep sustaining your life to the greatest degree. ameen 🤲🏽
@@lonewolf7704 I feel the same way you was thinking about this individual that commented this. @travisknight1360 I love your comment. Keep your head up and keep on being kind to yourself. A reminder for all of us!
It's because of the sheer wisdom passed down 100 percent ive learned so many things about my own issues from kendricks lyrics and I think we may be the two most different individuals
@@chloeeig You know people can see your comment history on this profile right? You’re riding Drakes meat more than these people ride Kendrick’s it’s embarrassing, you’re doing the exact thing that you’re criticizing.
this generation of young people may make mistakes but they definitely are willing to think against the grain and think for themselves. that's for sure. they do much more than i did while i was in college.
Hes right in the sense of them being a lot more compftable standing up for themselves, but independent thinkers is definitely one that varies. The whole generation is essentially lived over the internet, so while there are definitely some good ones, its normal for them to try to identify with whatever they see on the internet. Personality, slang, dress apparel, what emotions to display, whats "cool" and whats "not cool" all just seems to be whatever they adopted from the internet
How can anyone hate a man that wants to see his culture and community win a rap beef is a rap beef yeah we could choose what we like but when it comes to giving back look at the artist that do it carefully !
