Kendrick Lamar - ELEMENT. 

Is it just me or is every scene a perfect album cover

Kendrick lamar showed album cover examples for 3 minutes straight

“Just say his name and I promise that you'll see Candyman”…Cole heard these words n dipped🙏🏾😭

5 years later and this is still one of his best artworks yet.

Kendrick: fake my death and go to Cuba 2 pac: this nigga spittin

if mom tells me to take out the trash ima make it look sexy

Drake could never.

J Cole don’t want this Kendrick to come back

Kendrick, these visuals are impeccable.

this song make me wanna donate blood to a crip

This what Will Smith bumped before he slapped Chris Rock

had to comeback after Kendrick laid his claim as number one

0:05 Water 0:23 Fire 0:30 Air 0:40 Earth (Nature) ELEMENTS

he made this look sexy

This is one of my favorite songs all time. Kendrick Lamar dun took off HAM ON THIS RIGHT HERE! a u t h e n t I c v i e w s dun took his career off 2 the next level fr fr no cap

"I don't do it for the gram"....that lyric aged beautifully.

I don't always listen to Kendrick Lamar, but when I do, so do my neighbours.

All the songs he dropped were literally legendary then he just disappears

Damn, kendrick really be one of the few rappers to regularly make me cry

this is still one of his best artworks yet. Kendrick dun took off HAM ON THIS RIGHT HERE! a u t h e n t I c v i e w s dun took his career off 2 the next level fr fr no cap

"I don't do it for the 'Gram I do it for Compton"

I think the meaning of the video is that people in the black community are taught to fight from birth, and this spirals into senseless violence that leads to only death. It starts with the kid being pure, being risen from the sea as a innocent kid. Next his father (presumably) teaches him how to fight at a young age. When the kid doesn't want to fight, the father slaps him as seen in the video. This shows the kid that he HAS to fight back, their is no other option. By the time he is 8-9, the kid already knows about fighting/violence and this can be seen when he points a gun at a car passing by for no real reason. This kid doesn't know any better because everybody else has been raised that way. Next time you seen him is when he is a young adult (presumably). When he's at this age, the fighting mentality has already been instilled into him. He is seen punching a guy across the face, as seen in the video. Lastly, since everybody else was raised this way, even friends or people who they hang out with each other fight each other constantly. This is shown when the people that are hanging out at the back of the car start fighting each other, for really no reason. Even though they seem to be friends. The people in the video think about "God" (as shown with the nuns) and morals,and in the back of their mind know that this is really an awful way to live, but this is how they have been since birth so why change? Lastly, when there is awareness that they live in this state and there is really no way out of this hell of constant violence and fighting, people take their own lives, as seen in the last part of the video. That's my take on it

Dear Drake and Cole. He said he willing to die for this shit, he done cried for this shit, might take a life for this shit, put the Bible down and go for eye for eye for this shit! If you can’t tell he been ready for this shit, come correct or don’t come at all.

J Cole should've listened to this before dissin' Kendrick.

K-Dot: fake my death, go to Cuba that’s the only option 6ix9ine: Write that down! Write that down!!!

Please, Kendrick, I'm begging you, please release a new album Edit: after 7 months of begging, Kendrick decided to release a new album soon. Edit2: Kendrick's new album is confirmed, will be released on May 13th 2022, Title: Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers As a fan, Thank you Kendrick Lamar

@2:50, everything Kendrick says is proven after J. Cole’s apology. He responded in a verse to first person shooter, then Cole responds in a mid ass diss track and album only to regret it. Kind of thinking Kendrick gone just let him hide hand after those rocks he threw at em. Legend.

6 years later and it sounds like it just dropped. Pure timeless music

Kendricks intelligence , lyricism, and self awareness sets him apart from any other rapper in the game

still can’t believe this masterpiece was 2 years ago

This is one of my favorite songs all time.

I've been working for the same company for 17 years so it was heartbreaking when people were laid off. This song is what I needed to stand back up and go harder. Thank you Kendrick. #ImDoneCrying

Legit every shot in this could be an album cover

" I don't do it for the 'Gram, I do it for Compton "

Kendrick was on attack mode with this album. He ran the 2017 rap game worldwide when this came out, and was out for blood while catching fades with your favourite rappers, from underground to mainstream hip hop, grammies, pulitzer, and BET awards. On DAMN he gave you his hardcore raps, club bangers, storytelling raps, songs for the ladies, and conscious raps in 14 tracks no more no less. After winning a grammy for his masterpiece TPAB and killing a feature run in 2016, he gave us this. Complete package, a classic. what a time.

There are few albums that can take me back to when they first came out and this album in general, takes me there. I can remember exactly where I was at mentally, emotionally, financially, etc.

Who else going on a Kendrick marathon while waiting for him to drop

This song should be on the periodic table

It’s crazy how many people come back to this everyday. This song is legendary

When Kendrick Sayed "I Don't Do it for the gram I do it for Compton" That shit hits different.

Never before has a music video so drastically changed my opinion on a song. The context added by this music video really raises this song to another level. These visuals really pull me into the world of the song.

Just watched this man live and oh my the live experience is amazing you are a true master of music

I'm convinced Kendrick Lamar is part of the avengers in an alternate universe.

why are all kendrick lamar's music videos always so fucking good

There should be a film about kendrick's life

This song is special to me for reasons I’m still uncertain of. Still come back to it more consistently than my favs off DAMN

If 8 Mile had a part 2, Kendrick Lamar would be the final boss.

“I don’t do it for the gram, I do it for Compton” that says a lot about his true personality

the cinematography in Kendrick's musics is epic, *hands down*

To future generations, don't let this song die out

the goat

When you realize the man in the white suit bleeding is the one teaching his son to hit

the 43k people that disliked are the people that got slapped and made it look sexy

I had to revisit this joint in honor of Will Smith

Who's here after hearing that crazy leak?

kendrick def made these old rappers proud.

Kendrick got the best fans comment section lit asf

Knowing Kendrick about to drop a new album... makes me so excited 😆

Candyman

*Me:* Hello, fire department? *Fire Department:* Is it Kendrick again? *Me:* Yes.

This is the bomb

Kendrick’s leaked verse 🥶 🥶 🔪

This song is structured so perfectly it’s insane

why is everything kendrick lamar makes fire?

Kendrick's this generations best rapper Eminem said it himself

This album is classic ❤✨💯

I need to see this man live before he stops performing

Tupac listening from Cuba In tears

What a great song and a great music video to accompany it, also the people featured in the music video are very good at perfoming

Always tears me up

#1 on Trending????!!! Finally, RU-vid MAKES SENSE!!!

"911, What's your emergency?" "Yea, K-Dot just dropped another video🔥🔥🔥"

I love EVERY SECOND of this SONG!❤

Will Smith at the Oscars: 1:05

Bruh. Watch Kendrick's videos in this order: ELEMENT. HUMBLE. LOYALTY. DNA. They create a f*cking movie.

I swear his voice gets higher every year.

I cry every time. Chills.

2:50 “Most of yall throw rocks and try to hide your hands” Cole…

"I tried to lift the black artists , but there's a difference between black artist and wack artist " that line stood out and is true 💯

I like the fact that Kendrick never flexes in his videos and doesn't show off shit like Gucci belts, Jordan's, expensive brands etc. Just shows that rap has a deeper meaning to him and he doesn't need to show off materialistic items to be accepted

Who here after the apology

One of my favorite songs

Kenfolk.... New Kung fu Kenny ! The imagery is amazing

2:05 The most fake punch I've ever seen😂

this is honestly my favorite kendrick song. nothing beats this amazing production.

this is still the most beautiful music video i've ever seen, nothing has beaten this masterpiece of cinematography

This song makes me wanna read the entire Terms & Conditions and then decline.

My take is this video is about how children learn from their environment. Growing up with violence, the pattern usually gets repeated. The shot of the kid looking through the broken glass, shows the whack perception of reality he's being indoctrinated into. Also the shot of the black guys in nice clothes training to fight, shows how messed up this society is - we live in a culture where violence is rewarded. Violence comes in many forms, one of the most harmful is selfishness. We're all brothers on this planet. Gotta look after each other, change society from within, by each of us finding peace within. That's how you stop violence and cycles of violence, by ceasing to be violent to yourself. All starts here, no lie.

my fav song on this album🔥

6yrs later and this shit still go hard and he made it look sexy 😱💯‼️🗣️🔛💯🙏🏼

"I don't do it for the gram I do it for coomptonn" love that line

"Most of ya'll throw rocks and try to hide your hands"

Really one of the best music visuals in circulation. Beautiful photographic approach with the static camera. Each shot is good enough to be a framed photo.

hits harder after the leak ngl

Me: hello? Fire Department: Is it Kendrick Lamar again? Me: ya

"fake my death got to cuba thats my only option" 2pac would be proud

On a Kendrick grind because his album drop Friday. I hope it lives up to this

To this day this still one of the best songs I’ve heard stays original and the video is legendary

How is lamar so skinny when he eats so many rappers 🤔 shit dont make sense...

"I dont do it for the gram i do it for Compton"
