Kendrick Lamar & Jay Rock Perform Money Trees For The First Time in Best Buy, Union Sq. 

yall leave that security guard alone! i can see the gangsta in his eyes

the guy in the suit is having the time of his life

the security guard is trying so hard not to turn up YA BISH

found this because the drake fans were trying to find dirt on Kdot but instead found this gem.

when the camera turned to the dj i thought it was j cole for a second lmao

We at best buy finna get it ya bish!

Imagine just randomly walking into Best Buy to see kendrick performing

People are actually watching him through their phones.....lol. WTF !!!

I WAS THERE!! CROWD WAS SO SICK! Kendrick was about an hour late lol but it was worth the wait, bought 2 albums got them both signed. GKMC ALBUM OF THE YEAR THIS IS OUR GENERATION'S ILLMATIC

That security guard ready for spit some bars BRUH!

The tall guy in the suit is going to be singing this in the shower for the next 6 months !!! " PICK YA POISON TELL ME WHAT YA DOIN !! LOL

We at best buy finna get it ya bish!

That mic was legit on fire, that's why Kendrick rejected the mic at 5:09

it's crazy GKMC dropped 2 days before this and Kendrick is just rockin out in a bestbuy. overwhelmingly under rated for the time

That is one god damn depressed security guard😂

5:09 is why kendrick is a legend

2:43 Samuel L. Jackson.

had to come back to this after seeing jay rock and kenny perform it together once again at The Pop Out.

I love how everyone says that the white security guard "looks racist". That's racist in and of itself... Like how the fuck do you just assume that? The dude hasn't said a word, and you say he's racist just because he isn't smiling? Maybe he doesn't fuck with kendrick lol

Drake could never

5:09 - I thought I couldn't respect him more than I already do, that's fucking beautiful to see

Who here after the pop out

We need artists to start doing this again. We need ikea parking lots. We need mall shows. We need Best Buy shows.

Chubbs certainly couldn’t crash that security guard 😂

it's just big me

I have never seen so many light skinned dudes in my life 😳

Everyone complaining on here like 'why has everyone got their phones up .. why not enjoy it ' ... tell me something, how the fuck would you have watched this video if someone wasn't recording?

HOLY FUCK HOW MANY OF THE CROWD HAVE THE SAME HAIR STYLE???

One of the best Kendrick's song

And 5 years later he's still killing it

The song was only out for 2 days before the performance and crowed was already hip!

Gave them people a legendary performance for free that’s why he #1

The guy rapping the whole song with the white iPhone 4 is the most 2012 thing I’ve ever seen

*mutes and un-mutes song while he's rapping* MASTER DJ

The crowd don't realize how lucky they are..

Fun fact: Kendrick wrote Jay Rocks verse too.

11 years on, and this hits so hard. The Jay Rock entrance, their shared moment of forgetting lyrics during their first live performance in a supermarket, how Kendrick refused the mic to let Jay sing the chorus - it all resonates. Their dynamic, the energy they bring to each other Brought a huge smile to my face

Here after the juneteenth performance 😂😂❤❤

That crowd was lit. That is why performers perform, to connect like this.

So Vladimir Putin was Kendrick’s bodyguard before being the president?

That security guard is keeping his shit tight! Keeping it fucking real doing his job! He dont crack! On the inside we know he knows its the shit!

Best Buy had NO IDEA the beast they were helping create… saw him at the 02 last year… this track was SHELLINGZ…

Wonder how all these people doing now, hope all is good

Came here after "Not Like Us" and all the diss tracks before that to ease my mind up 😂

00:30 You can tell he's really touched everybody already know the lyrics

0:36 that guy is like wtf...

anyone from 2025?

the security guard was not having it.

we at best buy finna get it ya bish!

Man I wish all of them would just put away their phones and just enjoy the moment.

Jay Rock walking in exactly like I pictured first time hearing the track…

this is something that us fans are gonna look back and be like "man, you remember when GKMC dropped? Nobody can ever top it."

why do they cut off jay rock's verse early?

the security is doing what he is supposed to be doing

2:14 Kendrick asking for the next verse is iconic, it just shows how he got a lot of lyrics on his head bruh.

Damn, even entering Jay Rock was cool. If security had started screaming "YA BISH" I would have literally cried.

You think white suit was singing "ya bish" in his car on his way home that night? 😂😂 A young KDot performing in Best Buy. 👌

Jay Rock had the verse of the year in 2012 🔥🔥🔥

It fucking annoys me how everyone isn't even 'there', they're so absorbed with their phones and would rather watch him through the small screen. Put the damn phone down and enjoy the moment.

The white dude in the front (security) is fuckin up the vibe...

GOAT 🐐

1:38 white boy with glasses really feeling it

I hate this generation so much. Not the music. I think Kendrick Lamar is great. I hate how you need to share everything. I hate those dam phones. Just enjoy.

05:09 still the best moment ever

That crowd witnessed history. Now Man man the King of hip hop

Security guards thinking about his sandwich in the fridge.

Damn

Now they don't need to share a mic

goat in my books

That moment Kendrick leave the mic to Rock, humble since the beginning

And 10 year later, he's still killing it. Gave us the best album of 2022. The 🐐🌹

That guard really looks like he's contemplates every word that K.dot is spittin. Like he is gonna make next level in councious and become spiritual and shit. :D

Security guard thinking what happened to music lol

The security guard doesn't approve

Kevin hart coming in at 4:20 surprised me

0:38 man in suit be like "so this is what kids of today listen to"

The people apart of this are apart of history

2:43 Surprise mutha Fucka - Samuel l Jackson 😂😂

The white old security guard is just looking at him his face is all serious and shit lol

and now, he is KING 👑

Bodyguard locked in beyond belief

Let's not forget how Mackelmore won over this album, like WTF?! Grammys is atrocious!

EXACTLY! This is why TDE gon run the game for the nxt 10 yrs bro. he knows he's blown up and in the spot light but instead of hogging it he shares the glory with his brothers. Everybody in Black hippy has that, "When one succeeds the whole group does" type attitude. #TDEforever

Is it me or he's sampling Beach House ?

This certainly describes that time. I remember it was Octoberish 2012, and absolutely EVERYONE in California (was living in San Diego at that time) was listening to that album and knew all the words to Money Trees. Even a few years later, I would be randomly jamming that song in my car and people would still be singing to it outside my car. Iconic song

Security: 👁👄👁

it's like he's performing in front of his math teacher

That white guys is like "wtf am i doing heree"

Who here after drake diss?

This brought me back to the good old days of my last year of highschool enjoying this song, watching this video, enjoying life. Now its 2020 and everything is shit lol..

I always listen to this when going through anxiety and it always calms and pacifies me, thank you Kendrick for creating such meaningful and uplifting music

Them security Guards have no idea they had front row seats to Kendrick’s genius… they grandkids gone show’em

when you find out that kendrick wrote jay rocks verse it hits different

Money tree is perfect place for shade

1:41 thought J Cole was DJing for a sec lol

jay rock looks high af

That security guard must love country

White man expression #priceless lmao

2024

Jay rock: here u want the mic Kendrick: naw u keep that bro
