Life & Rhymes: Kendrick Lamar 

I can't imagine why some people don't like Kendrick. He's one of the realest and most talented... ever. In my opinion.

why am I getting recommended this 11 years later 😭

Kendrick's soul, his creativity, his individuality and his heart is what makes him special. He speaks the truth with a childlike spirit. Micheal Jackson and Tupac , all in one. He is a poet, a visionary, a genius. I love you K, I paint and write poetry, you inspire me everyday.

He's like a old man and a young man at the same time.

One of my favorite lines from the album was "You movin' backwards if you suggest that you sleep with a tech/Go buy a chopper and have a doctor on speed dial I guess, m.A.A.d City" That's the truth right there. I'm telling you guys, years from now, Kendrick will be looked at as a legend in hip hop.

"kendrick lamar by far realest negus alive"

Jay Rock is the big homie. Seems like the most loyal friend

has been my fav rapper since section 80

KENDRICK LAMAR KING

It feels like top dawg Is a ghost in the music industry

At the beggining I doubted about his talent, and then I gave section 80 and GOOD KID maad city a chance and damn, been my fav living rapper since then

I wanna see a movie about the TDE story.,

This dude is perfecting his craft. There is no greater pleasure in this world.

After watching and listening to T.D.E's music, its not hard to tell that these 4 guys from California are everything but ordinary. Each member shares there talent in a way most artist now a days cant. These California rappers are more than just artist, There brothers! so take notice in the new N.W.A music group that is T. D . E

Kendrick Lamar, rise of the greatest.

Kendrick Lamar × J.Cole Anybody that think K.Lamar or J.Cole trash are mfs that wanna be so hood so bad that they wont acknowledge intellectual rappers.💯

King Kendrick!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What got me into K dot was his OD mixtape. Shit was a classic tape man.

Kendrick- top 10 best rappers of all time

Overly Dedicated

Kendrick is real, more of a normal guy than a typical rapper/celeb like, he on that J cole tip, no wonder they get along so much#Inspired

Kendrick is the only rapper that I've been listening to for years that I'm GLAD all y'all got to hear him, keep searching his music, play it everywhere lets all save hip hop make Kendrick the new qualifier to be a rapper, no more Lil Bs

Still Watching 7.5 years later

all the people asking for the names of the songs.. that's how you know Yall aren't real fans

Redman was the first to say that 'grand piano bar' on da rockwilder.. Damn classic red n meth. "You ship off keys and we ship grand pianos!"

I hope to god Kendrick doesn't move from this way of rapping in the future. He's probably one of the quickest developed artists, two years ago no one knew him. Now he's everywhere. Love the guy, I really do. I couldn't care less if next year he's on pop songs as long as he keeps doing this.

its really a blessing to have more rappers who speak on real life situations, thats where hip hop came from the daily struggle and the mic was a release, please respect this man and others who dig deep in themselves and give music to the masses that is real, good or bad. hip hop is to commercial how will we heal from music when most of us cant afford a 20k chain or a lambo or a bottle of cris? real word smith's need support. bob your head to fantasy and thats all you will get FANTASY

Kendrick Lamar's play with words, metaphors and ability to story tell is amazing. We havent had such a vivid storyteller since Mr. Jones.

Kendrick Lamar one of the most genuine artist, nothing but love💟🎶😄🌠

this is more of a TDE documentary

he's the greatest in my opinion

Kendrick Lamar is smart as hell. Spent the first half of his spitting like a G. Now that the "world is listening" he is telling his true story.

watching in 2020

These guys are telling us how they got to where they are... What reason would there be to dislike this video. They're just telling you their life

Kendrick's got Pac's ability 2 connect N mindset, Biggie's smooth flow N confidence, N Nas's lyrical balance N ability to tell stories. But Has A Completely Different N Unique Sound.#HeIsHisOwnArtist

listening to Kendrick really made me realize where I am now and how I can change..

Happy 10 years.

DREAM'S OF LIVING LIFE LIKE RAPPERS DO,BUT FOR NOW I GUESS THE SACK WILL DO!....CLEAN ASF!!

Great documentary! Thanks!

I am now even more impressed with this up and coming MC. May the hip hop gods be with you to put more great music. He is the blue print of what is missing from hip hop, more students of the craft instead of radio single rappers.

Man Kendrick u inspire me I had really bad times in my life and ur music is what gets me by love ur music don't stop

So glad Ruslan from TheBREAX mentioned Kendrick and said check out his new album!! Soo glad.

I feel like I grew up with Kendrick. That's how involved he gets us into his life through his music. Hip Hop has be revived....thank you Kdot!

kendrick is the most inspiring person ive ever heard speak, his words just give me chills and nearly bring tears to my eyes. TDE for fuckin life!!

So true, Lamar is def an artist that has a big arsenal in terms of where he got his style from and he is one of my favs along with asap and school boy q; he is a breath of fresh air for hiphop right now 4 real

I love this man Kendrick

I was at this concert!! BET Music Matters Tour on Sept, 29th @ the Atlanta, GA Tabernacle! My birthday present & 1st concert!! DEFINITELY WORTH IT!!

I have listened to GKMC everyday since I bought it

"i ship keys like a grand piano" - redman" - kendrick lamar

One of my favorite new artist for sure

These guys are just blessed everything was set up and meant to work out for them.

I have felled in the habit of downloading my music but i had to go buy a physical copy of this dude album.

He's a total BEAST!! Got the game on lock and very humble!!

WE NEED MORE ARTIST LIKE KENDRICK TO HIT MAINSTREAM MEDIA. HE HELPS OPEN BLIND EYES,BLIND EYES THAT TALK NOTHIN BUT NEGATIVE WORDS FOR THE YOUTH. NO LIE

& Kendrick Lamar & jay rock are two great artist

I love kendrick, hes such a big inspiration to me. Keepin it real

Kendrick Lamar the best in this generation

I can post a song on Google Play

“ Anything you got a vice for, you got times ten.” The limelight truly is just that, a light. Whatever there is about you will show.

This video is mixed really well damn.

Not much else I can say that others havent. Inspirational, driven, real. But what nobody seems to notice is that Jay Rock looks the type of guy to sleep with a teddy bear.

I would love to watch a full documentary about Kendrick Lamar and Black Hippy. That would be amazing, they inspire me soo much!

million dollars worth of game.

9:42 is art of peer pressure

I gotta good feeling that with these greats taking over the rap game and lil wayne retiring soon, we might get back to more conscious hip hop.

Kendrick inspire me to be that kind of artist

One of the realest out there.

Kendrick is a truly wise individual. I'm really happy for his recent spike in popularity over the last couple of years, as rappers like him deserve it.

I want to be a rapper. But I am not a lyricist. I don't have the extensive vocabulary. But I have the heart and soul for hip hop. I have the ear for Hip hop. I have the beats for hip hop. I have nothing but absolute love for hip hop. There is not a time I haven't had hip hop in my life. I'm not a gangster. But I've lived hardship. I've had life challenges. I'm very observant of the things around me. When it comes to art I'm a perfectionist. But in order to keep that spirit I have to have drive and inspiration. I am from the hood. But I never lived in the hood long enough to know what it was like. Instead I lived with the physical and psychological abuse of the hood through other people. Instead I lived with the knowledge of how to survive in a hostile environment from the streets and the hood. I am a Thug as Tupac defined it, "A person who is going through struggles or has gone through struggles and continues to live day by day." I can talk about love. I can talk about longing. I can talk about wishes. I can talk about hope. I can talk about life. I can talk about death. I can talk about struggle. I can talk about hope. I can talk about anger. I can talk about hatred. I can talk about wisdom. I can talk about the liars. I can talk about the phonys I can talk about the outside world. (Out of the hood or where you're from in general) I can talk about deceit. I can talk about honesty. I can talk about pain. I can talk about being a soldier. I can talk about what hip hop means to me.My favorites of the top of my head: -The Notorious BIG -2Pac -Nas -Eric B. & Rakim -Kendrick Lamar -J.Cole -Eminem -Kanye West (His Late Registration Album) -Dr.Dre (His Beats only) I choose these guys because them talking about life and their struggles and how they got through it made me calm down and look at life differently and also just have peace for those 3, 4, 5 minutes a track until the next track.

Both good albums, liked the journey he took us on in good kid mAAd city.

living legend in the making....not there yet, but he will be...

KENDRICK! HOPE YU GLAD HOPE YU HAPPY TODAY CUZ YU'VE INSPIRED SO MANY PPLE!

We need a kendrick lamar movie

"when you're in the limelight anything that you have a vice for is at your demand X 10 and it can kill you"

I FEEL YOU KENDRICK.

I love him and his music

love kendrick Lamar 2013 this deli@

Wow.. I Love This Dude.

Wow...this man impresses on so many levels!

i just found kendrick just by swimming pools and me youtubing all his shit ive already downloaded good kid maad city and section 80 and those 2 albums are awesome i have tha carter 3 and paper trails and kendricks albums blows both of them out the water. kendrick is the best his style and sound takes me back to high school for some reason lol and hes super lyrical lol hes the best by far

YOOHOO!!! the interview is up there ^ :)

2024

I can't imagine what else he would rap about. I feel like if he never made another album this would do.

They need 2 make a full movie documentary based on Kendricks life & how he grew up 2 become the amazing rapper that he is 2day & it should be in theaters. Like if u agree!!

like how you put into words..

Kendrick has such a happy smile As far as i know he is the only one who came from a hellish place and isnt evil

I loved kendrick lamar ever since he first came out and I know the whole song to swimming pools and i got his 2 disc cd ya bish ya bish

this is awesome

Good kid, M.A.A.D City is a classic in my eyes already no question.

I love the truth and he is the truth I love him have not took the cd out yet

song is code red from jay rock's album follow me home

The only rapper that I can relate to, I hope it's not to late to become the newest artist of this state dude. KL ft. HR

Can someone please tell me the name of the 07:42 song?

true artist

Hands down the best MC alive!

Thanks god for these guys

Well said homie.

King of rap

I'm not a fan of my favorite rapper (presently) not smoking but that's probably why hes able to put shit together so clean its like poetry. Look at lil wayne now that his brain is made of syrup. All he has to do is blow his nose on his pancakes in the morning. So thank you Kendrick.
