“Because if Anthony killed Ducki Top dawg could be serving life while I grow up without a father and die in a gun fight” Kendrick a storyteller forreal 💯
Imagine working for a man who scared your father so much he tried to please him by giving him free shit. That’s just so wrong lol. Top dawg is a psychopath. How could Kendrick go work for him
@@andrewbradley3305 it’s easy to call someone a “psychopath” for doing something wrong but you don’t know peoples struggles and what they’re going through. Plus is he really a “psycho” if he didn’t actually hurt anyone?
@@SuperRyan767 I’ll give you a pass for stealing food if you’re hard up but, robbing and potentially killing someone for $137 is not defendable. If you’re argument is that you’re stealing money to pay for grandma’s medical bills, then at least aim higher than a KFC… like chick-fil-a
@@andrewbradley3305 you on somethin for sure. Nothing wrong with showin people another way when theyre down and thats what kendricks dad did. Fed the man to prevent him from committing an evil act. Waste man
Top dog be like: "Hey remember that time i tried to rob kfc and almost pop your head up" Kendricks father: "Yeah man it was crazy hahahaha" Kendrick: 😐
It's more likely that Kendrick's dad was trying to protect Top Dawg....like "young man you ain't gotta do this, take these and leave and I won't say anything"
that’s what the damn album is about, if kendrick’s dad didn’t choose kindness, (weakness) then the album would be played in reverse. Ending with him dying and getting sent to hell hence the albums name damn- meaning condemnation
I'll always prefer when rappers tell their own stories instead of the interviewer telling it. It's not a bad thing I just really prefer when people who've gone through something shares their experience personally
@@trials6502 it's not but it's his dad's and his dad and the guy most likely told him the story more than once with more detail than he put in the song
@@trials6502 I had come to agree with him on his point then your comment gave me pause.... it's really not his story but his style. Through his own unique style of telling that story, he has captured a wider audience already! In this show and it's style of storytelling, Kendrick can't really capture the audience in any more significant way than the show's star talent....the interviewer. So the interviewer's style wins here 😂😂
This is a crazy story man!! Obviously his actions prevented a robbery but I wonder how his pop's act of kindness changed his way of thinking. This is so dope!!
Its in those moments that the universe decides both your fate's and top dawg knew he couldn't do Kendrick's dad like that but he also didn't shoot. God bless them both.
Ah, yes, the universe. God. Fate. Not just the intelligence of Kendrick’s father. Always gotta be some other imaginary shit, it’s never the ingenuity of a person.
Great Music comes from personal life experiences. This is a pretty cool example of God having his hands all in that situation. What God has in Store for You, is for You.✌️📿 & Blessings 🙏🏾🙏🏼🙏🏿
My buddy became a police officer and one night got in a short car chase, followed by a foot chase and subject gave up at gun point. Only when he shined his flashlight on him did he realize the suspect was a former coworker from an unrelated job he was SUPER close with at work. I knew them both. True story.
@@johndoe7109 yea he did! He shined his light on him and said “Trent? Is that you? What the f are you doing?” Then he said dude I almost shot you but grab your stuff and bounce man
Life comes full circle. If his father had acted differently then possibly his father may have not made it. Then Dawg also imprisoned. Instead the act of kindness rewarded them both. Kendrick came along. Now we all are blessed by the kindness
Strength connection of touching someone in need. Only a strong brave essence of life can ultimately secure and pick up another life in redemption to change for the greater.
Your dad must be a very special kind of man ..not many exist these days ..he showed love to top dog and maybe he had not felt loved for a long time and when you feel that you don't want to let it go so how could he go through with the stick up..this story makes you think.with all the hate out here maybe show some stranger or any person in your life a little love today .love kills the demon.
The art of negotiation is a life skill which is necessary for success and survival and the most successful people in today's world are the best negotiators, very underrated skill. 🙂
Nardwuar would be like "I have a gift for you, the very gun you were going to use to rob a KFC with, for you, top dawg ent"
🤣🤣why this true
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂 facts!
Doot doodado doot do....doo doo 😂
“because you are Top… Top Dawg”
“Because if Anthony killed Ducki Top dawg could be serving life while I grow up without a father and die in a gun fight” Kendrick a storyteller forreal 💯
Had this going in the back of my head the whole time
Duckworth
Had this playing in my mind as Stern narrated that story
The added gunshot for the effect of the lyrics was a nice touch as well- right as he said "gun fight" 😯
@@noedominguez6503 Thank you
He treated him like a father would a son. Showing him kindness and empathy ended up saving both their lives….

Get some them biscuit’s
And throw in some mashed patatos
@@bigby1590 what
He got the chicken lol
Where's my Mthfucking dominoes at 😂
“Two extra biscuits”
💯
TWO EXTRA BISCUITS
I been saying this for years "the world is smaller than you think and it only gets smaller as you spread your wings"
Exactly, KFC chicken wings lol
Your father actually Saved Top Dawgs life….
Exactly...Howard projecting the fear he would have felt in that situation
Saved top dawgs life to save his sons
3 lifes at that moment
his little smile when he says “crazy how life is” is so cute
The single greatest fast food worker of all time. Papa Lamar is a legend.
Papa Duckworth
Kendrick seems like a really nice young man. Very humble and considerate. I wish him nothing but the best .
"Craziest story I've ever heard"
They literally had a phone call with a serial killer
Exactly ! …. still to this day sum people still think it was a prank
This was recorded prior to that.
I’m aware this was not recorded before that.
That guy was a phony
@@RUTHLESSambition5 okay bud
A lot of radio shows had a serial killer call in. What’s special about this one?
Top dog be like: "Hey remember that time i tried to rob kfc and almost pop your head up"
Kendricks father: "Yeah man it was crazy hahahaha"
Kendrick: 😐
Moral of the story. Be nice to people, its easy and pleasant for you.
It's more likely that Kendrick's dad was trying to protect Top Dawg....like "young man you ain't gotta do this, take these and leave and I won't say anything"
Facts
We all know waasup that’s why top dog and the dad are talking freely about it because it might’ve saved top dog
These youngins need guidance. This is why Fathers are important. Top DAWG will be forever grateful if he has some moral
that’s what the damn album is about, if kendrick’s dad didn’t choose kindness, (weakness) then the album would be played in reverse. Ending with him dying and getting sent to hell hence the albums name damn- meaning condemnation
"Duckworth" the song for the ones that don't know.
Big fax. One of the greatest records ever penned.
If Anthony killed Ducky, Top Dog could be serving life while I grow up without a father and die in a gun fight

Kendricks Dad: Aye Man You Remember That Time You Put A Gun To My Head And Said “Gimme Colonel Saunders Recipe To Make Fried Chicken”
Underrated
Good laugh!

Only fame will get someone saying "god bless him" to an armed robber.

Cringe af
@@Ninjablade88Nope fame is the reason you’re hearing about it. These stories happen all the time
Top Dog: "I'm here for the bag!"

😂😂😂😂😂
"Peice"

Amen
When he said “Yeah man”
I instantly thought “im the mailman can’t you tell man”💀section 80 lyrics are crazy
That’s awesome “funny how life works” 😂😂
Didn't know Duckworth was based on an actual true story. I need to watch more interviews.
lol did you not listen to the entire album , it’s literally a story
@@latetootheparty I did, still do and enjoy it thoroughly.
May g-d bless them for changing the life of top dawg.
So refreshing when the interviewer actually does research before the interview. So many terrible, unprofessional interviewers these days.
Life synchronizes in special ways for the chosen ones
It’s because your path was written my friend! ❤❤❤
Never seen Kendrick so relaxed in a interview
Cozz and Reason still plotting their revenge
My buddy became a police officer and one night got in a short car chase, followed by a foot chase and subject gave up at gun point.

POS cop
Did the cop let him go ?
Write a rap about it, if you got the talent
Did he let him go?

Everybody is forgetting 9th Wonder sampling those 3 beautiful beats on Duckworth. That is complicated and beautiful...
Smart move because now he get the 50 from Kendrick 🤣
Proof that love can conquer hate.
Interviewer just read the lyrics from Duckworth lmao
Duckworth🙏
One of the best songs he’s wrote note the word I used “ONE”
Man he's so calm
Ppl that dont like DAMN dont appreciate this song
god works in mysterious ways… freedom choice is the best thing he gave us… top dawg chose right… god reaped what he sewed. amen.
Smh….. we all got our own crazy story on how the Almighty works in awesome ways
I love this man so much and everything he stands for😍🤯🤯😭😭
G shit yooo. Its destiny some times... Some things are meant to just happen.ya kno..
Which fucking bit was g shit? A grown man stealing from a kfc or the fact that him and his father got no morals or balls
@@lukapetrovic8947 lmao????? What????
@@lukapetrovic8947 top dawg should be taken out the back of the shed,without his scary gun 😠
This is such a nice video Kendrick’s reaction to him saying that is nice
Duckworth is an amazing song

I hope top dawg paid big time for the irreparable damage done to people who are held up at gunpoint,
Kendrick's father diffused the situation and since he now works with Top Dawg, to me says T.D might improved himself. .
@Erik Valdes crap
@Erik Valdes aint that bad, huh? Til he "tries" to rob MY store. Guarundamntee he ends up in a black zipper bag....

Love this story and Kendrick Lamar is a brilliant genius
They probably play dominos together. They make KDot look for the missing dominos thou.
Kenny, where my motherfuckin dominos at?” 😂😂😂
“Whoever thought the greatest rapper would’ve been from coincidence”
Top dawg was going to rob kfc but he left with free food. So he still robbed kfc? Lmao
LOL
Strength connection of touching someone in need. Only a strong brave essence of life can ultimately secure and pick up another life in redemption to change for the greater.
The best part of the story is his father was working. Meaning his father was around and providing.
Your father's Testimony, God had his blessings on all of this. 😇🙏💜💯🥰
I don’t wanna hear shit about Kendrick until he drops his next album
Shit about Kendrick.....
My favorite Kendrick song is about this story. Duckworth
That was God telling them both they’ve got a future ahead of them and that moment was going to change everything for their lives
Duckworth is the most amazing song ever . Duckworth is the song that speaks about all of this
The cycle of life. What a story!!
His dad used his street smarts!
Such an interesting culture…
Yh America is so shitty couldn’t pay me to live there 0 class

The wall is undefeated
Top dawg be fanumtaxing kfc bro hahahaha😂😂
Duckworth dawg shit was real
Kendrick Lamar is so chill bro
Well considering his dad and TD probably became friends, it’s not crazy at all that he works with him now tbh. Just nepotism
Because it was an experience to be had and the maturation in that moment was epic for both men!
They telling him his dad gotta go
Kendrick babe ruclips.net/user/shortsSZz3MK9p_tE?feature=share
Thats destiny. Stay humble and work hard. Life will make you laugh at the end of the storms
This story is detailed in his song titled Duckworth. Great song
He like this normal everyday shxt because they don't know Kendrick is super spiritual
Top dawg, great decision crazy story.....amazing father!
Wow they literally came full circle. Maybe Kendricks father rerouted topdogs life. And now he collaborates with his son!! 😳👍🏾Wow
I haven't watched anything stern in years and when the camera cut to Robin I gasped
Kendrick’s dad serious bout them dominos too…😅

They talk about it because it was a life changing situation!!! That was their axis point. ..
Money makes people work with who ever it is.
Gun being spelled with “h” is crazy lmao 😂
GOD'S PLAN IS REAL!!! THATS ALL I CAN SAY. Stay Blessed People
Y'all know that's good people.
It's sad to know you have to feed your family but then God steps in and show live I er loyalty is the question. And it worked
Love his calmness
It's amazing what people find acceptable.
I don't really think men are attractive but Kendrick Lamar is gorgeous 🥰
Keep your friends close your enemies closer
That’s the story of the song DUCKWORTH.
Kendrick sang about this on duckworth, literally what the whole song is about
Man I love steins no bullshit interviews. Media God.
“He figured he’d get on this niggaz good side, Free Chicken/Everytime Anthony posted in line, 2 extra biscuits”
Kendrick Lamar is the product of his environment.. on sight next time we meet.
What's really sad is how this society elevates and excuses the criminal.
This guy does everything
