Kendrick Lamar Says Jay-Z and Eminem Were His Biggest Inspirations 💯 

Whole tape is art.

I love that line so fucking much

‘wanna be heard’ song off the kendrick lamar EP back in 2009. real niggas know.

I used to wanna rap like jay z, now i feel like im running laps round jay z - ab soul

@@TheLoadScreen he definitely does run laps around Jay z

Same.. He wasn't up there for me for some reason. I knew he was a great lyricist but I didn't listen to him too much until now. I'm trying not to be a Stan but I'm too invested. He's the greatest right now.

Me too 🎉❤❤❤

Well said bro me too start to know him better

FR ! And I was already fanned out but I’m going even deeper down the rabbit hole and studying him now 😅

U prob like R Kelly’s music too❗️Keep protecting ur wife b3ater

It's also hard to just listen to a em song like a jay j cole drake wayne song I grew up on em but I just couldn't relate to the fuck kim fuck my mum shit but his is hands down top 3 mcs

fr

frl and im white asf

they buggin 😹🙏🏾

Bro he make words rhyme that’s cat and the hat stuff . Nobody black related to em songs bro sorry to tell you .

Kendrick mid tbh

​@@AlphaConviction No

@@AlphaConviction to you maybe

@@AlphaConvictionclearly you haven’t listened to Fear or Duckworth

@@AlphaConviction copium

You get it. Exactly.

Absofknlutely

Bro eminem told Drake that when ur at the top they’ll al come for u. NO LIES TOLD

​@@joseabreu-nn5cu You really think that's why they all went at him???

@@joseabreu-nn5cuEminem is definitely on Kendrick’s side after this

Renegade was absolute heat, imagine a whole album in the 2000’s!

No, Eminem killed Jay on Renegade.

​@@yahwehn0tyallway Killed? I gave the second verse to Jay and the first to Em. Eminem made the beat too.

Em ruined the song for me. I was never into that weird ish he was talking about

@diegojones2481 I thought it was funny as a teen but as I became a father, I realized I can't play that stuff out loud lol

There was a great video with Rick Rubin just having a chat with him. Look it up, good shit

I mean all artists are jus normal ppl they jus seem other wordly cus theyre famous

​@@NickCageDripppYeah but some ppl think Kdot has a god complex or something.

@@MGhafoer ppl think every artist has a god complex

Kendrick is a God compared to cornball Eminem

@@desotohybrid2175 🤡

@@desotohybrid2175 tell me about your negative IQ

​@@desotohybrid2175only cornball here is you clown boi

@@desotohybrid2175 Dot himself would clown you for this horrendous take lol

I usually bounce between jay em and Kendrick for #1 I can’t make my mind up lol

Yet Jay & Em, who ARE lyricists, never received a pultizer prize. Kendrick, the ONLY rapper that has. Also have a Grammy like Jay & Em

@@ThePqueen1 doesn’t matter that Jay and Em didn’t win a Pulitzer Prize. Hip Hop wasn’t taken seriously as an art form nationally when they were both in their primes. Another factor is the fact that wokeism has seeped into almost every industry, especially in the fields of education and the arts since the mid-2010s. Congrats to Kendrick for the Pulitzer, but the same force that keeps Disney itching to force feed the public another black-themed movie is the same force that has higher institutions itching to give awards disproportionately to minorities as a subconscious result of white guilt.

@@sleeperino3054 disney movies aren't really black-themed, they just have black characters And I also don't believe that second point is a factor. I doubt white guilt, "wokeism", and DEI helped get kendrick a pulitzer prize but his talent as an artist and there have been artists like that before but, like you said, ppl didnt respect hip hop.

Jay is a creep any support gives him power

Homie has whole ass therapy albums.

Haha... Jay and Em is top tier everyone want that criteria. If you even get there close to Jay or Em then you're at it. The spot is clear for rappers if they follow the Greatest mc... mad respect for Jay and Em

@@edwardeddy__ kendrick is fs close to them already. he's seriously one of the best rappers oat.

@@memesarehere-zg9wb Real..

​@@memesarehere-zg9wb kendrick albums definitely make you think about shit. But I first an em song 20 years ago and that is still stuck in my head bro. Kendrick is definitely close to em fs

​@@memesarehere-zg9wb yeah if I were to rank them it would be 1. Jay z 2. Kendrick 3. Eminem. We have to see the end of Kendricks career first before I can put him at 1. Since jay z has 4 classics in 3 different decades and a perfect end he will always be my goat (but depending on how I'm feeling it switches between him, Nas, Biggie and Andre)

Haha 😐

That Compton vibe 🔥

Ong you way better than him anyway bro go make To Pimp a Bluebird

U got it g! Leggo! Stay hungry! It's been a 5 year ride for me with music! I started out playing nu-metal and pop-punky... Now I play country music these days! Finally making a real living at it is the most rewarding thing ever! ❤️🤘 U got it g!

“Go get that shit, go get that shit, go get that shit, go get that shit”

Music wack, you wack, yo momma wack, your style wack, your life wack, you just wack

@@AZ_sports_are_better the suns kinda mid bro i’m ngl

Nothing cringier than Eminem Stan’s flooding the internet always on his dick. Yes Eminem is great we get it. You don’t need to bring it up every possible chance you get ☠️

Em don’t won’t smoke with Kendrick bro calm down

@@illuminated_ facts! In reality Eminem don't want to smoke with tons of MC'S and rappers. Eminem is nice tho. Dont get it twisted. But there are others that are far more talented.

The fact that you mention Game and MGK in the same breath as Kendrick in regards of competition shows how much of a casual you are. Em would NEVER diss Kendrick and vice versa.

But Um didn't Em out rap Kendrick on love game?

😂😂😂

​@@EikshaBisht😂😂😂

OVHOE.

Jay has never gotten hate from true hiphop fans

@@VinceBond-ky2zt fr. anyone saying jay is trash is very telling of someones extremely small hip hop knowledge

Lyricism at its greatest level is poetry. The layers, the symbolism, the word play. It’s sophisticated and nuanced.

I'd be like Jay-Z's a cheater I wouldn't listen to reason either.

kendricks pen is like a fusion of pac and jays. amazing pen

Jay just knows what's good for business. I'm sure he's friendly with them, but it really doesn't matter how good of a friend you are to Jay. You get caught up in some BS that threatens his business, he drops you real quick.

@@SpaghettiYOLOKingcan’t really blame him for that. If you work your entire life, reach your goals and create a certain image, you would try your best to make sure to uphold that. Why would I be around people who could damage my reputation that I worked so hard for. Especially with people in hip hop that have fickle personalities and do questionable stuff.

Pac*

Lmao i see it with a lot of hosts, why do they hate eminem so much :D

@@muaddib9433 you know why

@@muaddib9433 he’s white

it was clearly cut though. I dunno what the whole clip is like

He didn't say "mmmhmm" you clown.😂🤦🏾‍♂️

Stop hatin

So even without 'passion' he became A GOAT? 🐐 WOW! Thatniggajigga!! 🔥

People either hate Eminem for some of the things he’s said, or they don’t hate him but rather his fans that are constantly on his meat

Em just gives a lot to his fans in his music. If it resonates with you, some of his catalogue can hit deep. He impacted a lot of lives and helped many young and old through hard times. Being a rap genius is just icing on the cake. Thats why so many ride with him as they do

It's because he hasn't made a good album in several years.

@@VeerMatharu-fe6ys mtbmb was a lyrically and technically insane album, and when i listen to eminem i'm there for the skill

@@VeerMatharu-fe6ys yes, 4 years now since MTBMB droped

Nas instead of Eminem

​​@@nutankumari5664Nas instead of Pac I think.... He's very very influential but not even close when it comes to skillset and quality of discography. Em has classic albums under his belt, not to mention being skillfully top notch and also a very impactful.

Nas over pac

where tf is Nas

cuz he mid

Funny how Eminem haters everywhere and comments on every em related posts lol white boy still living in these mfka’s heads rent free and I’mnot even white

@@alacedodyssey like your life

@@alacedodyssey nah you know why

Cuz Murica is full of racists, black, white etc.

So what if he retired? Dont type when youre too young to understand. Go study hiphop

Did you just forget about 4:44?

His best album by far was the live version on collision course with linkin park.that was amazing.linkin park killed it!Jay was good.had all those hits mixed in.more rappers need to do more genre collabs

@@ericmacdonald3365 have you ever listened to any solo Jay Z album? I swear you Jay-Z haters are just casuals.

@@VeerMatharu-fe6ys dude I'm 40 years old.I've grown up on all these albums growing up

Kendrick said Jay Em

Jay is the GOAT

They won't do that cuz the hype is too big, fans of both sides think they want that until it happens. It's gonna be a war in the comment section.

Bro the interviewer didn't even say anything, you getting mad for no reason bro

@@roycepierson9297 eminem fans have victim mentality now hahahahah

@@robloxazo bro what

@@robloxazoong they want to be victims of prejudice sooooo badddds

​@@swishie7946 Average Drake fan

🤮

Lmaooo

@@punani_slayer4209 Gave neck with too much lube?

You must be fun to talk to

@@drakeproductions2365 lol i would never point this shit out talking to someone, it’s just funny how interviewers plan their questions but still manage to ask them weirdly like this

Thats what lil wayne does lol

ok, grandpa. time for bed

Your entire statement is invalid. You didn't have Rakim, Kane, or G Rap???? I knew right there. I knew you was just a Jay hater.

​@@breeziekwt5992lmao..... But grandpa's right tho', all the guys he named are great lyricists

@@TheSigma008 ye they are, but that doesnt mean jay z is a bad lyricist. hes amazing, just his style is about entendres so its harder to catch instead of punch lines like lil wayne which are waayy easier to understand

makes zero sense but okay

I dont think it's hard to figure out what he was trying to say..but maybe me and him are just 2 dummies that can relate 😅😂​@@myweirdsecondchannelwithap9070

That's what the drake fans shouldve been using thru the beef but I guess they couldnt think enough for it😂..wouldnt bother me but wouldve thought to myself that they are funny atleast lol

Stan is stalker and fan combined, where would you get the "st" from Eminem?

@@bornkinggamer3347 you get it from the song "Stan" Eminem made in year 2000. Thats where the word stan comes from, Eminem made that shit up

His albums are mostly trash. He makes very goofy music. Lyrically he can't be touched. Lyrics are only 1/3 of rap Sound and story matters too.

@@colinnixon7739 ok

Already know you don't listen too his music then 👍

@@JoeMama-pe8lm nobody wants to listen to mid radio music eminem is dogshit

@@JoeMama-pe8lm sure buddy. What does Eminem rap about? Exactly. It's mostly nonsense or the same shit. He has 2 great albums and the rest are literally duds. His music overall is not good.

I wonder what community has the highest cases compared to population of killing their wife/girlfriend... Oh wait its the black community. So they probably relate, a bit too much. Regardless, the lyric where he says he was happy he took the bullets out of that gun. Is a reference to when his wife cheated on him and he pistol whipped a bouncer. Im sure a lot of people can relate to the anger that comes from going through that, especially in the moment.

​@@Mas-ij3tiThat's not nice to say, Eminem has a lot of black fans outside of America. It's also disrespectful towards Kdot tbh.

Every bullied, doubted kid and people who are struggling or struggled with addiction can relate to Eminem, Eminem's songs aren't only about killing his wife

You're right. But Jay z is kind of like an embodiment of everything great about hip hop and what can come from it. Eminem is mad nice too, bit I'd say he mentioned him cuz they're label mates. Youc can hear all 3 of their influences in kendrick though.

Because he was asked HIS opinion.

Especially when he did his own version of C3 as a mixtape…and had it co-signed by Wayne

Lil Wayne was Great for like 4 years. Lmao.

@@dutchie3226 facts lol

No but Kdot liked xxx's music and they probably would've a collab if xxx didn't pass away so soon.

Poor man’s Radiohead.

@@CaptureCat88 clearly you’ve never heard either band

@@Barrybeastmode oh yeah let’s listen to colorful Coldplay and get a bunch of global people on stage and throw our hands in the air singing world music as we try to gain more fans. Or you can listen to Radiohead who actually make real shit.

@@CaptureCat88 I agree. Radiohead are real shit.

No?

Said the white suburbian wigga.

I mean who has better consistency.

He is good

Mid comment. Manas never stops peaking fr fr 🔥🔥🔥🔥 P.D. "Lit lit! Fantano! Gang gang! Shawn Cee! Skrt skrt! Meami! I love watching rap music reactors! If they like it, then I say "This fire fr🔥💯", and if they don't, then I say "This mid 🤮🙊🗑️", K. Dot is cool, but he should look up to fire things, like me, I look up to RU-vid music critics, you know, the ones that aren't musicians, don't study music, and only listen to "rap and r&b 👶", the ones with abundance of opinions, but lack of field work and education." Sorry, i'll stop, i'm acting stupid on the internet, no more comments from me, because i'm starting to feel like you. All love though, and I mean it, not "fr", but "for real". 😌🍻

You just called Eminem mid??? LMAO

@@neminem7833 this last decade he has been. aint sayin he hasnt dropped fire songs but projects have been lackluster

em is horrendously mid he makes radio music instead of rap

@@woomy939 mmlp2, Kamikaze and mtbmb are all some albums of the decade. Only revival was kinda disappointing eventhough it had some good songs too.

Lol 😂 someone looking up to him made him overrated😂😹😂😂

ok dylan guess udk good music and u probs listen to drake or some shit

@@alacedodyssey uh i dont on a regular basis but hes a better artist than jay z

@@KLATUU. you said Drake is better than Jay Z. Your opinion cannot be taken seriously.

@@donovanpitts6907 he is better than jay because jay z is dogshit trash his beats suck and his flow is boring

Why you gotta call it trash? Why not just say you didn’t like it? I’m not a kendrick fan but I hate ppl who haven’t learned the meaning of respect

Nah you just don’t understand

Trash? F. O. H. You probably listen to Jack Harlow 😂😂😂

@@edwinyounes4934 i mean people call other artists shit trash and so why wouldnt he be able to call it that just cuz he is talking about kendrick.

@@ToxicFlares no.. good artists respect other good artists.. unless they have beef or something against the artist, they don’t call something trash and when they do, it’s disrespectful.. also you bums aren’t artists
