Ngl I thought this was the official video for years. Joshua Forman went way too hard making this. Even syncing the cartoon characters with the lyrics. A pure gem
Does anyone remember when Kendrick said that he got into rapping to help with his stutter? Now listen to the hook lines? The way they’re delivered? Chills
Imagine making a fan music video for an underground song, and in 7 years having 23 mil views and having the easiest way for fans to listen to an unreleased song.
😂 brother are you really the gaming lemon if so man I am 23 now I watched you when I was 12 childhood memories because of you brother always made me laugh on a bad day to see your account comment on here has made my year 😂
Dude this is exactly how I felt after randomly waking up with it in my head and coming back to this video. Definitely needed that woken ambition that has been suppressed.
I remember going to Kendricks concert in Toronto and he finished the show. The crowd was going crazy still and he walked off stage. Then this song started playing crowd went nuts and he came out and performed this to close the show. Earl Sweatshirt had opened for him and you could see him going off on the side of the stage as well. Such a legendary track.
He actually played this one when he did a show in Amsterdam in 2013 (7th February)! It was the last song he played, I remember going crazy as I did not at all expect it but I was hoping he would play and he did! Crowd went crazy
I remember the Good Kid tour in 2013 in Cleveland. He finished his set and then came back out and did an encore with Cartoons and Cereal .. it was dopeeeee
2013 - I saw Kendrick at University of Georgia for the first time. He closed with this and it felt like something out of this earth. Three months later - I got to see all of TDE in Atlanta on MY FUCKING BIRTHDAY. That was one of the best shows of my life and he closed with this again. GOAT.
He performed in South Africa the year after and opened with this song...I swear on my life he looked into my eyes...one of thee best concerts I've been to
I’ll forever remember Kendrick making this his encore song on his GKMS tour show in Orlando. I had sang 99 percent of every word he spoke up to that point. I didn’t even have a single hope that this song would be involved in the show because of copyright issues. He left the stage, the crowd got rowdy, and the intro to this song played. I lost my sh**. Great night.
This has been my favorite song for 12 years the nostalgia is insane. For people who grew up in a torn up home with nothing but cartoons to lead the way this is the song for you
I’m lucky to say I watched him perform it live at a normal sized venue in Houston. it was my favorite song for a long time before he became huge. This shit still go hard in 2023!
I forgot this song existed.. I literally just found a flash drive when I was in high school in 2014 and this song was saved under “ahead of its time” 😭
You see Kendrick has the ability to release real bangers and rap his ass off but most of the time he chooses not to. This to me shows that he values his artistry and his message more than streams, money and popularity.
Just realised this songs about him being a child growing up in Compton with guns all around him and all his memories are the TV to escape his reality as a child 🤯
Just found this because someone wrote it on the wall at a Starbucks near my apartment. Been a Kendrick fan for a decade and this song blew my mind. happy the stars aligned for this to be in my life
Maaan i always end up coming back to this song and Gunplay's verse is probably the most realist the most hardest verse ive heard... man said "Ya thats me no mic, no cameras, no lights just pain... momma how much trauma can i sustain" like god dam shit hits me everytime! 🔥
I wonder who's actually gonna believe me when I say, just now as I'm scrolling through these comments while having the video playing, I got to your comment, and as I'm reading it, I got to the part where you put "ya that's me, no mic, etc." at the exact same time as it got to that part of the song in the video. Literally the EXACT same time.
Chills every time I hear the tone in Gunplays verse.. Hand on my heart, face to the hood, I pledge every word you ever heard was honest Yeah this me, no mic, no cameras, no lights.. just pain MAMA HOW MUCH TRAUMA CAN I SUSTAIN?!
anybody else just shed a tear when he says “mama how much trauma can i sustain?”. you can hear the pain so clearly in his voice, and then he ends his verse with humble confidence and hope for the future. like fuck. i cant really even begin to imagine what its like to go through the things articulated in the song. being a human is weird, we all live such vasty different experiences and yet art/music is a way to bring us all together to understand one another. beautiful
It would be cool somebody would make a short film music video to this song n make it look legit and all the money you make from it you give to the artist or you give it to people that really need's it. The reason to do it is to be creative on a video showing issues in our world n government.
@@brownie3454 It's really not popular. 23 million views doesn't mean 23m people have watched it. Those are plays , some people probably have watched the vid like 10+ times. The song is slept on because it's unreleased.
Forever here. Favorite song of all time. The nostalgia from the cartoons playing and how Kendrick pieces this part of his childhood with these cartoons and their darkest violent and horror themed scenes from all of it reflecting his childhood is insanely underated and creative

20 million views got this guy paid..why would kendrick steal it and this dudes hard work?he wouldnt...hes not the type to stand on someone elses hard work n claim it for his own..
@@JoshForman That sucks man, hope you're at least still proud, you should be it's amazing, I mean getting 20 odd million is an amazing achievement in itself, just wish you could profit of what is partially your work.
Kendrick need to release a couple old songs like this on apple spotify etc like Drake's ''Care Package'', theres a younger generation that missed these classics bro.
This song's hook and samples makes me feel emotions i genuinely never thought i wouldve felt from a song before. Its like finding a weird comfort in those horrible parts in your life where the only things you had were cereal and cartoons.
Still harder than anything ever released by French Montana Edit: This isnt some random comment. French and Kdot was fake beefing last year. This post is in reference to French saying he can go "hit for hit" with Kendrick. Now that you know, please stop replying with weird shit.
Kev’s Uploads tf you smoking on, French has never had a #1 song in his life 🤣 your definition of a "hit" is shameful, just because you hear a song in the club dont make it a hit. And then you say French is deep?? French and Kdot is not anywhere on the same level. Max B will be released and have a #1 hit before French. French been trash since Mac And Cheese boy, stop it
NYCKenny French has been out wayyyy before mac and cheese.. and he has no.1 hits. Stop being bias.. the dude got ask a question and he answered with confidence. But some of you dudes too emotional to understand hit for hit vs being a better rapper.
😂😂😂 im experiencing this song for the first time and already played it more than 20 times or more. This song is fire. Kendrick is really something special
Josh... This is probably the greatest unofficial music video created... usually people just try and mix together past videos the artist has made but you went back and matched sound bites from the song and mixed everything to the beat.. Absolutely amazing.
I remember me and my cousin just being teens would sneak out and smoke a couple bowls to get high and go back in the room with the lights off and watch this video and vibe that is something I won’t forget every time I hear this song it brings me back to that. Time is precious and full of memories
I wish I could go back to when this song first came out. I had no care in the world.. I would run a muck partying with my homies and little hoes in the city... Songs are literally the closest things we have to time machines
Classic Kendrick track. I remember how everybody around me was dumbfounded hearing something like this. Just totally different and authentic sound. True hip hop.
Ngl I thought this was the official video for years. Joshua Forman went way too hard making this. Even syncing the cartoon characters with the lyrics. A pure gem
Frrrr
If I'm not mistaken, Kendrick shared this video and referred to it as the official video for the song.
I literally just now realized this 😭😭😭
& I’ve been playing this since 2015😂😂
HOW THEY GET THE MOUTH MOVEMENTS SO GOOD!!! THIS A WORK OF ART!!! THAT ISH WAY MORE INSYNC THAT IT SHOULD BE!!!!
Kendrick’s a real dude for not filing a copyright claim for this video.
I dunno if he can, did this ever get an official release?
Heard it was supposed to be on GKMC but couldn't get on cause of sample clearance
@@TomRussss Yea don't think Kendrick even has copyright claim for this haha
He acknowledged it
I think his label does that
Prolly liked it tbh lol
This ain't even fan made anymore. This the real shit
Frfr
Really though
I mean it hasn't gotten taken down and shit you know kdot cool with it. Legit af I just stumbled on this again. How could I I I forget
Bruh I agree with ya
Bro real talk. My memories and nostalgia will always have this as the video
Does anyone remember when Kendrick said that he got into rapping to help with his stutter? Now listen to the hook lines? The way they’re delivered? Chills
“Now that’s ironic”
warms bro.. warms
Its bad when im sober that shyts funny cito reminded me of some shyt i didnt know bout myself

Need a new circle dawg lol
Some funny comments on here, but I get your point. Sometimes I feel that way too with some jams, that includes the Kendrick from this era.
I never hear much of anything i play from anyone other than myself..
This song has an atmosphere that no other song has
U so right
Absolutely
Money trees or sherane, kendricks music sounds like no other 🔥
Kendrick's producers are amazing man
Similar to blackskin head, wash us in the mood, freestyle 4, Nd backseat freestyle
this song feels there is only a select group of people worthy of being graced with it's existence.
That part
I can't tell you how happy I am to be in on it. this is so good even 12 years later. Timeless.

It's a crime that this song isn't on spotify
There's a low quality version called cartoon. Not under kendrick name
It used to be. They took it down
Drives me nuts

What video did he mention this song?
@@bbrimstonee it was on a community post

thats how I heard about it yeah lol. havent stopped bumping it since then
“Not to worry, every warrior will come and see euphoria
And that's a covenant I put on every tribe” the irony years later
Bruh i just heard that euphoria line😳 and thought the same thing🤯wtf?
🤯
@CajunGator There's levels to it, you and I know
In this songs context, it's a nod to the 12 tribes of Israel and how all 12 tribes will find peace at the end of their 400 year curse in Deuteronomy.
BRO. PLEASE GO TO "GENIUS" AND LOOK AT THE LYRICS FOR THIS. KENDRICK HIMSELF EXPLAINS WHY HE WROTE IT. YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT I PROMISE.
Almost ten years later, still one of the best songs Kendrick ever made
My personal favorite
The first Kendrick song I've heard and the best to me !

I'm a Florida boi!!
I got love for gunplay he like that big brother from my hood that keep you on your G shit
Kendrick wrote the verse
@@lookhector are you outta yo fuccin mind? Gunplay is ferocious on anything he touch
Kendrick need to release a couple old songs like this on apple spotify etc like Drake's ''Care Package'', theres a younger generation that missed these classics bro.
Real shit cuz this shit rn was and still is my favorite banger from him . Forever a fan and people don't even no this shit smh 😠
i think theres issues with a sample in this song, i assume?
This song is on Spotify. It's just titled Cartoon on an album of random west coast artists and the quality is horrendous lol.
@@marshallrude4887 was gonna say the EXACT SAME THING 😂
Fr hu before the decade ends 🙏
This song's hook and samples makes me feel emotions i genuinely never thought i wouldve felt from a song before. Its like finding a weird comfort in those horrible parts in your life where the only things you had were cereal and cartoons.
Still harder than anything ever released by French Montana
Edit: This isnt some random comment. French and Kdot was fake beefing last year. This post is in reference to French saying he can go "hit for hit" with Kendrick. Now that you know, please stop replying with weird shit.
NYCKenny you stupid if you think so.. and I’m a k.dot fan
Kev’s Uploads if you back French Montana in this then you obviously not a kdot fan
12liter pepsican lol, it wasn’t about French being a better rapper than k.dot, it was about a hit for hit battle.... and French has deep songs.
Kev’s Uploads tf you smoking on, French has never had a #1 song in his life 🤣 your definition of a "hit" is shameful, just because you hear a song in the club dont make it a hit. And then you say French is deep?? French and Kdot is not anywhere on the same level. Max B will be released and have a #1 hit before French. French been trash since Mac And Cheese boy, stop it
NYCKenny French has been out wayyyy before mac and cheese.. and he has no.1 hits. Stop being bias.. the dude got ask a question and he answered with confidence. But some of you dudes too emotional to understand hit for hit vs being a better rapper.
yoo this is the best fanmade video ive ever seen
You have the best lyric video :)
FG This's fan made? Fucking hell! Dude's done Kendrick a solid.
Check out the lyric break down of lupe's "murals" that's the only shit id say out does this
yo FG I see your comments everywhere
+Shawn Bergen I know hahahaha lmao
For all these people coming back to Kendrick and experiencing this song for the first time, I’m jealous.
😂😂😂 im experiencing this song for the first time and already played it more than 20 times or more. This song is fire. Kendrick is really something special
@@JeanMahmutyep, same

@@mertbey706💙🤍🙏🏽 I've been a Kendrick fan since 2016...truly I've never heard this😢

Talidan ain't it the truth!
Talidan the coexistence of high people watching this
Kendrick man its kendrick
I have seen this only once
Gunplay spill his heart on this
I’ll be your 100th like👍🏽
Let his life loose in the booth
@@SantasBlumpkin JUST FOR U.
Facts !!!
Never to been seen again after this verse.
Had goosebumps the entire time
Josh... This is probably the greatest unofficial music video created... usually people just try and mix together past videos the artist has made but you went back and matched sound bites from the song and mixed everything to the beat.. Absolutely amazing.
thank you homie! appreciate the kind words
2024 anyone here😢
hello dear
Hello my dears.
yooooo
First timer here, don't know how I missed out on the track all this time
You know it, bud
This song jus popped in my head.. can’t believe it’s been 7 yrs , so many memories
Damn bro facts . . . i remember listening too this shit in middle school .
Mac Veli FACTS 😔
I remember me and my cousin just being teens would sneak out and smoke a couple bowls to get high and go back in the room with the lights off and watch this video and vibe that is something I won’t forget every time I hear this song it brings me back to that. Time is precious and full of memories
This has gotta be one of the most atmospheric and immersive hip hop songs of all time, and idt those words are used often to describe hip hop
Listen to more hip hop then
@@CpHakR1L
i second, game recognise game, u dont need experiece if an art piece is screaming loud enough
@@CpHakR1this has gotta be one of the most brain dead replies I’ve ever gotten
Hardest beat ever. I can’t believe not everyone knows about this song
Im saying I come back to this video every year lol
It’s not on any major albums and it doesn’t have its real name on Spotify
I forgot this song even existed. It was a crazy feeling hearing this again after a solid 5+ years, kendricks a 🐐
@@WyWid what's the name under on spotify?
@@bdgoatofficial on Spotify it’s just Cartoons by Kendrick Lamar
This fan made? If so, I fucks with thee.
the video is
CelticFan98 nah I think he meant is the song fan made lmaooo foh
video gave me a siezure
MFBloosh I think Fan made or not, if Kendrick would have watched this he would be proud.
Schwiggity Schwaggity 😭
This is a straight classic 🔥✊🏾 I was 11 now 23
Lol nice one glad you made it
still one of the hardest rap beats of all time
it's good, but nowhere near one of the hardest
+LeagueUnionSevens the chorus is one of the hardest I've ever heard though,
Leke Sokoli I agree bruh
looked on youtube couldnt find one that sound the same
The Moments - When The Morning Comes
Top 5 Kendrick song right here
SpottieOttie Agreed!
let him produce more music before so
James White how much music you want he's got like 7+ projects
solomon k before u say someone has a top 5 they have to be as old as jay or eminem
James White Kendrick been doing this for 13 years... I have confidence that he will be widely considered top 5 when he's been around that long
“Not to worry, every warrior will come and see EUPHORIA.” Kendrick predicted it all. 😂😮 Amazing song.
Didn’t even noticed that till I listen to this song like couple weeks ago blud was predicting the future his own future.
In this songs context, it's a nod to the 12 tribes of Israel and how all 12 tribes will find peace at the end of their 400 year curse in Deuteronomy.
BRO. PLEASE GO TO "GENIUS" AND LOOK AT THE LYRICS FOR THIS. KENDRICK HIMSELF EXPLAINS WHY HE WROTE IT. YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT I PROMISE.
@@SihleSibeko-uk5mt🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Deuteronomy
This is the best unofficial video on RUclips. Inspired the way I edit all my videos. 🔥🔥🔥🔥
literally the best fan made video ive seen
Agree
Yall. Forget the song for a second. Can we appreciate @Joshua Forman for perfecting this beautiful video?
I wish I could go back to when this song first came out. I had no care in the world.. I would run a muck partying with my homies and little hoes in the city... Songs are literally the closest things we have to time machines
Damn real shit bro.
amen
On point my friend
Do know I'm stealing that quote and using it forever. Indeed, songs take me through trips of nostalgia.
True
Classic Kendrick track. I remember how everybody around me was dumbfounded hearing something like this. Just totally different and authentic sound. True hip hop.
