Kendricks mom: we have to get away from this terrible gang violence in Chicago
Also Kendricks mom: moves to Compton
Compton is safer than Chicago
kendrick lamar itself a hypocritical insult "Blexit is a Renaissance", and he is my enemy.
Thats all they could afford at the time
I think they was running from the gang ties
Team FACM hater I run a fade on u no kap fo da💨
I cannot begin to explain how much that Fox News part infuriated me.

What is happening just proves how right Kendrick was

Thats badass. When you see him?
wow
Keep it, its going to sell for a lot in the future
This is one of the best intros I’ve ever seen. Real rap
Honestly i hated the intro😂😂 great video though
joseph zafra yeah I agree, me saying I “hated it” is exaggerated
Personally I don't think it was too long at all simply because it was packed with a perfect combination of clips, music and editing . Just one of the best I've ever seen. But that's just me
I just subscribed today, Kendrick is a legend
deadass. when he said skillshare i felt it
damn the intro tho
cyden chikombah ikr skillshare hits hard 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Herbal Giles made me lose my shit in public lmao
Goosebumps man!!!
Hits hard
That gunshot scared the absolute shit out of me
I gotta do a essay on Kendrick in English class and this video is lowkey saving my ass ☠️💯🙏🏽
Sure wish I had something like that in English class.

Scott because he didn’t publicly (on social media) support the BLM movement. He went to protests in person of course but he didn’t post anything about it.

As a rapper that suffered with a stutter growing up, hearing that Kendrick had one just made me feel so much better
Facts. Its weird how a lot of rappers have a stutter growing up
I can't speak for other rappers but from my personal experience, I can definitely say rap was a significant part in the growth of my confidence in how I spoke. Being picked on as a kid for my stuttering I developed a fear of holding back what I wanted to say, so much content over the years held back because of fear. Rapping helped me not only speak my thoughts in a creative way but in my normal conversation voice my stuttering decreased significantly. It's still there sometimes but compared to how it was prior to me rapping, BRUH so much difference lol
@@conwellkid I think i can kind of relate. I used to be picked on by a lot kids growing up because I spoke very eloquently at a young age so I'd try to throw slang into my sentences until it was so unnatural that I developed a stutter. Then I found rap and how many artists were actually well respected for speaking the truth behind it all. 2pac may not have had a college level way of speaking but his charisma and knowledge was enough to get the attention of so many and they understood exactly his message. So nowadays when I speak in person to person conversations im able to articulate what I want to say with deliberate inflections in my voice to emphasize what im trying to say without doing so much. Yeah I still stutter too but I'm able to get by by having confidence in what im saying. Kind of shifted from rapping to just spoken word. For me personally it allows me to say what I want to say without having to really worry about structuring a bar into a specific beat
ive started to develop one recently its quite odd
I dont see it as hindering. I think we're just people with a lot to say at once that we stumble over words because our mouths can't keep up with what our brain wants to say. If that makes sense
I'll say this about Kendrick, he just speaks to young black men in a way that some artists have trouble doing. It is sometimes hard to listen to a rapper talkimg about gang shit when you cant relate. Not to say that rapping about gang stuff is bad, but the Kenny talks about that Black mentality.
To Pimp a Butterfly will always album be my favorite not cause it was my introduction to Kenny, but for some odd reason my mindset changed when I heard the album. Can't explain it but I think Kendrick helps young black men get through some shit that we take for granted or dont know about yet
Dude Even though I’m a white, my mindset also completely changed after listening to TPAB and that’s also why it’s my favorite album. As a privileged white teen I didn’t really understand true problems in the world until I started listening to K.dot and TPAB was what changed me. Helped me see the world in a new perspective
@@PK-po9lf Thats another thing. White people like yourself have to be educated on racial injustice while black men must be educated on racial clarity. I for one think that TPAB should be listened to all Americans to dive into the black male psyche.
Good looks man
Z Henderson Yeah dude one love ✊ Just from observing the people around me I think one of the main problem is that most white suburbans have such a closed mind. I remember listening to To Pimp a Butterfly for the first time when I was 13, I was still pretty young so my mind was free and open, since then I’ve never turned back, probably listened to the album 50 times while learning something new each session. On the contrary I tried showing this really conservative dude TPAB, and he was just so closed minded to the point where he couldn’t even try to understand things from Kendrick’s point of view. I feel like it’s all about understanding but I don’t know I’m just a teen
Only facts brother
PK 0302 same here man, growing up in an area like myself as a white teenager, there wasn’t tons of African Americans at my school growing up in your typical suburbs but once I began listening to Kendrick, it made me want to understand more and not just be ignorant to the worlds problems, that didn’t concern myself. It made me angry to see all the hurt going on and it compelled me to listen and try to understand what I can do better as a human being living on this earth. I know that sounds corny but it really is the truth. I’m 19 now and coming into my sophomore year in college and it really amazes me how deep Kendrick’s music is and how it applies to America today. It made me listen more and he really is someone that others can look to and teach the world about the strife and suffering. I wish more of my peers did the same because these problems aren’t going away so we need to work together to solve them. That’s my ideal future. 🙏 sorry for the paragraph lol
that english teacher should be credited
God I’ve literally been thinking for the last few weeks that I wished there was a documentary or something about Kendrick because he’s so insanely talented and I feel like this just scratched an itch I’ve had for a while LOL
We on the same wave but I’m tryna be in the same boat what’s ur socials
Bob Doyle 💀💀
Il teach u the ways I fr dno how she didn’t reply to that
Bob Doyle lmfao didn’t see this til now but i have a lovely bf that i’m very much in love with ✨ sorry to disappoint
Carolyn K now you have two
Kendrick is one of the few artists our generation can say we truly grew up and matured with.
And Cole
xRoadToCoDx Doesn’t have the same chemistry to Kenny, cole still not bad tho
@@seannleee1830 Cole is goated stop down playing him like he trash
@Prototype He really is but I’m not tripping, he addressed you no life ass trolls “if you broke and clowning a millionaire the joke is on you”
@Prototype uh huh sure you’re obviously in a loud minority. “kEndRicK gOoD, j CoLe miD” that’s so played out what is this 2017? Anyways keep hating on greatness he not losing no sleep tryna satisfy trolls
Bruh this is one of the best edited docs on hip hop I've ever seen.
If you like Kanye, watch “The most Untuly”. He does making of documentaries for each album. I think he’s started doing other artists now too. I need to watch the rest of them but the couple I watched were all amazing
@@willcarroll9762 sure thing my man! Thanks for the rec🙂
@Raghav Ahuja Hey you should also watch *'Unraveling The Madness of Kanye West' by J Aubrey.* It's pretty good! And then just check out his channel as a whole bc he uploads consistently, well made content.
Kendrick Lamar is something different in hip-hop. He's completely in hip-hop's traditions, has all the elements of hip-hop, and yet feels like he operates on a different level from other hip-hop artists.
I've never heard a hip-hop artist as consistent or conceptual as he is. His production choices are also almost always well chosen and serve a larger purpose.
Kendrick Lamar is the 🐐
The fact that he didn't win a Grammy for G.K.M.C triggers me to this day. Thank You for this video, it's sometimes hard for someone outside the US to get all that info and I'm really glad I found this!
We are glad that he won a Grammy for To Pimp A Butterfly and another for _DAMN._
@@jennyneon TPAB should've won the album of year too
@@ItsBigDre yh, definitely
maybe it's rigged idk
@@jennyneon All of em should have win AOTY. smh
Kendricks music is timeless, ik it's probably cliche but TPAB it's a masterpiece, and no doubt one of the most important albums of the 2000s.
This album is when i really discovered Kendrick. Definitely a huge favorite IMO.
*2010s
@@bigboineptune9567 no, 2000s if not music in a WHOLE.
i guess of all time too?
His shit all good bro
sometimes you gotta pop out and show 🥷s
Blessings to Kendricks teacher that opened him up to Poetry.
Personally I started writing poetry just before I got into the University and I was also introduced to it by my home teacher then. it's one of the big gifts and joys of my life and so i really get Kendrick's love for the art 🔅❤️❤️
I like Kendrick music so much because even though he is well known and mainstream his music still holds that Underground grittiness and creativeness and storytelling he doesn’t compromise any of that just to get a radio hit And I feel like the peak of That was G.K.M.C. Where the album was so good it happened to get mainstream but not the mainstream where you get tired of it and G.K.M.C can never get stale and old no matter how many listens.
TPAB is better imo
Tpab and gkmc are my favs
The world will only know peace when everyone agrees that Kendrick is the best rapper alive
oshos disciple - Kendrick rhymes 4/10. Bye lol
oshos disciple - 🤣🤣
oshos disciple - did you hear his flow in Black Friday? Cartoons and cereal? The delivery on duckworth or dna? His rhymes on rigamrotous or for free? I’m from New York and it’s easy to say Kendrick is on another level than big Sean
@oshos disciple - 10 different voices
@oshos disciple - big sean isnt top 50 while Kendrick is top 5 of all time
Let’s not forget to pimp a butterfly. In my eyes that album is one of the most beautiful, versatile, impactful, world changing, truthful albums that has ever been put out
DAMN was my introduction to Kendricks music, I got so hooked up that I binged almost all of his projects. Even today i'm still studying them and they keep on impresing me, and that's when you know how an artist looks like, i'm not even from US and english is obviously not my first language, but Kendricks music has been such an inspiration for me, I can understand and relate to his artwork, and it's really amazing how someone has the ability to send these important messages in such an artistic and charismatic way, and being mainstream while doing it.
He's one of the few artists who deserves total respect from the whole artistic community.
Damn was my introduction to kendrick,after that,i was getting more in to this legend
@@hari-nu2ry same
Don’t given Kendrick a savior complex. While he may seem deserving of the title, I’d like to think that his intentions while making music isn’t to be praised for it, although I’m sure he understands the magnitude his words have. To me, it comes off as words that must be said for the greater good, whether it be to further his career or to further his people, which he’s a part of. To set him up as some savior would mean acknowledging in some way(s), that he’s *better* than us and we’re unfit to save ourselves, which I don’t think Kendrick believes.
“Mortal man” does this comment all the more justice. “When shit his the fan, is you still a fan?” Because many want to grant Kendrick said complex, he has no room for mistakes. How will you feel when your “savior” lets you down? It’s better off to discard that title ahead of time.
This isn’t to discredit the things he’s done and is going to do but to put them in a different light.
respect
This reminds of the time when people tried canceling j Cole because they gave him that title. Then when he didn’t live up to their expectations they got mad at him.
Thats why he said "make room for mistakes & depression", leaders arent perfect but if the shoe fits it fits.
EagleZtoTheGrave I agree that Kendrick is a leader. But a leader and savior aren’t the same thing.
Terrell Williams perfect example.
Ive never been early in my entire life to anything but this. And im glad
Eskgetittt
I wish I finished this video when it first popped up in my recommended. I watched the first couple minutes but my mom called me to eat dinner and I forgot.. glad I’m only 3 days late tho
If you want to hear Kendrick’s Dad’s life in one song, listen to “Duckworth” by Kendrick on Damn.
Edit:Yah you guys is right I meant to say it’s about his dad and Top Dawg
I mean that’s not about his life really 🤔
That’s not even his life tho
Sam Bond yeah it’s more of an origin story
Oliver Mulcahy It’s about His dad and Top fam 😐
Lol
Son, the beginning of the video was strong. It really set the tone. You’re incredibly when it comes to these documentaries, never stop
Time to binge-watch all your videos again
I’m less than 2 mins in but DAMN THIS IS SO GOOD

Section 80 changed my life and it helped me through some of the hardest times.. K Dot will always have my respect
The fact that Tupac said you wanna be like Trump given the current climate just gave me chills.

kendrick is goated he's my favorite rapper of this generation
It’s Me I feel you man I only listen to his albums and songs. Mostly on my music playlist is Kendrick
I know this comment could potentially start a flamewar but there's no one in this man's class. People cite J.Cole but there's no artistry category in which Cole is remotely close to Kendrick. Kendrick is a once in a generation artist and I'm interested to see who the next incarnate will be for future generations.
How is cole not on kendricks class
Nope no flamewar lmao
kanye lol
Kendrick is undoubtedly the best but Cole ain't no joke too
Nah man. I'll agree that Kendrick comes before Cole but Cole is up there. I don't think we can say Cole isn't close.
However Cole's impactful songs to turn up songs ratio isn't nearly as good as Kendricks.
Kendrick is the rapper who got me into hiphop and showed me how poetic and powerful the genre is. I got into so many other rappers because of him but he will always be my favorite
after that Intro i had to pause it and take a breath. this is the quickest I've ever subscribed
Chillss chills all throughout damn. Overly dedicated.... I was 12 when swimming pools came out, that’s when I got introduced to him. Good kid maad city will live with me for eveeeerrrr. Reminds me of my growth wow
Same I was around that age
I can already tell this one is gonna have a million views.
that freestyle he did at the beginning in the hoodie, he sounds very influenced by jay, seeing his influences reflected in his own craft are kinda mesmerizing
Here in 2024 👑 Kendrick
Kendrick dont miss all his albums are either straight fire or legendary 😲 The GOAT of our generation
Boy am I ready for this one. Kung fu Kenny x Jake Zeeman lets goooo
Jude Flowerdew Yessir... Whatever happens on Earth stays on Earth
How does this only have 58k views... smh youtube really doesnt promote talent
I have shit to do rn so I was just going to put this in my watch later but damn the editing of that intro hooked me in
This video hits home for me in so many ways. I’m from Compton and Kendrick’s music has always spoke volumes to me and I can genuinely say, that I was put on Kendrick very early on. My brother would bump his old mixtapes all the time, go to his concerts, hell Kendrick even revealed HiiiPower at the concert my brother went to. So saying that this made me feel nostalgic would be an understatement. I may be biased because I’m from Compton but in my eyes Kendrick is without a doubt my favorite rappers ever and is one of the greatest to ever do it. I was a fan before he even appeared on the billboard, before he was the biggest on TDE, and seeing him where he is makes me happy because he came where I come from.
Such a well made video! Can't wait for part 2.
Your editing for the intro is greatly appreciated holy cow
this is hands down one of the best videos i’ve seen
BRO That control verse was disgusting the conversations that were had in schools! 🤦🏾♂️ Hip Hop needed that shit mehn! 🔥
Perfect video and perfect timing. Kendrick spreads a mad message and spreads awareness of what goes on in colored communities and immigrants. It's not their fault; we have to learn from the past, tear down those who like it, and change the future. 💜
15:53 gets me insanely hyped bruh
Notice the amount of white people there saying the n word lmao
1st time I saw Kendrick was in Fresno...he had opened for Drake....instant fan for life
I’m so mad that bad kid chill city isn’t on many streaming services
ay look over ur shoulders is so fire
Bro what? How have I never heard of this??
Will Carroll LISTEN BRO
I love regular trees and please kill my vibe
@@khem6276 LMFAOOO
I really don't like the "savior complex" you give to Kendrick. He talked about the pressure of being seen a savior in DAMN hence the disfigured story in the album to reflect his mental state.
I completely understand but ommm he's the Jesus of the rap game period
Payden Hill then you must not understand...
I actually found it to be a pretty connected story. Definitely a reflection of his mental, but not because of some savior complex, but rather the lack of. He explores all the things that make us human, and in doing so questions whether god should DAMN us all.
It only solidified his legacy, his accomplishments, and his position in hiphop. He’s really a blessing for the culture
And I’m sorry to bring it up but, DAMN received a Pulitzer. That’s quite the accolade
The intro, the research, the editing. Wow
The Kendrick Lamar EP is sick 💯
The nostalgia lol, I dont show Kendrick enough love these days
The intro alone may be your magnum opus
I am currently watching your videos back to back and I realized you have a great appreciation for art and you share your knowledge and I love it. We thank you for that and appreciation it. You have helped me understand that art is not about it's creation but about the artist and the process it takes for an artist to get to the "end" of that creation. Keep it up man and never give up. You just gained a loyal subscriber but not a patron. I am just a 19 year old I don't have that type of money right now
This video literally gave me goosebumps 🤯 ..So well explained and well edited 🙌🏾💯🔥
can you do one on J. Cole later down the track?
💯💯💯🔥🔥🔥
Yes!!!
Amazing job on the j. Cole doc :)
You already had my like after that introduction. Cant wait for the second part
This video is fantastic. From the Ariel shots and background instrumentals to the informative commentary and detailed breakdowns of the albums everything was perfect. Well done!

I still think his untitled collection was by far the best album ever released.
@@DZ-jm1my What
I got my first appreciation of Kendrick's extraordinary talent from listening to the Dissect podcast that did an in-depth analysis of his album To Pimp A Butterfly. I've been a massive fan ever since. He is an a-typical "rap star".
way too much respect to your work, passion and commitment. Keep this videos up and we gonna be alright.
Literally gave chills down my spine great video
These vids are so refreshing thanks for posting man
If Kendrick ever sees this he hopefully sees my comment too: His music is absolutely perfect. Love him

Thanks bud. I remember when I first heard Kendrick Lamar, and realising years later that it was him. I was such a big lil Wayne fan and would listen to any song with him in it. The song is called Colors - Jay Rock ft K.Dot and Wayne
Wanna be heard has been my favorite song Kendrick has ever made I still jam it to this day
Best artist documentaries on RUclips. Keep it up man
Really dig this video man, thank you
