Me from the UK
Gotta always support Kendrick Lamar
If it's May 2024, I know why you are here
😩😩😩
😅😅😅
😂😂😂
Been here before but yeah I know why I'm back 😂
@@jonathangregory2792 😂😂😂😂
I love how Kendrick stops, thinks and then speaks
Yeah he's very wise.
On top of him thinking about what he's going to say he also has a stutter
that’s common sense bruh
How a 3 dimensional thinker does it. Thats how a MAN does it
just like j.cole
You won Kendrick. West coast appreciates you.
Not like us killed it.
i dont understand how there can be people who say they listen to hip hop and somehow hate this dude. that shit goofy
exactly
Nobody hates Kendrick lol read the room gang
He means the Drake Stan's. Or the OVHOES. Or the Certified pdf file.
The only ones I’ve met who don’t like Kendrick only listen to YB, Gunna, and other mumble rappers who don’t talk about anything but jewelry, drugs, money and hoes.. oh and the opps.
Only the ones who don't comprehend
Lol the ones who be sayin he to "preachy," be the main ones that need to be preached to.
Austin Barnes Lol exactly....Niggas love mediocrity
Austin Barnes Preach brotha
That’s right. People love avoiding the truth. It’s a tough pill to swallow.
The reception to this album was almost perfect... I think that was thaGod's way of trying to stir up stuff haha.... Classic stuff
If Kdot aint preachin shit to you thats how u kno youre smart.
Kendrick got that organic coffee commercial voice. Smooth, calm and refreshing
The way Kendrick speaks to everyone in the room when he answers is really impressive
Charlemagne's skin tone determines how old the video is lol.
Ruggareggfilms facts 😂😂😂
Ruggareggfilms BAHAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!' Wit his fishy ass....😜
Ruggareggfilms 😂😂😂😂😂
Ruggareggfilms it's funny but it's hella true that's how I know if the interview is hella old or not 🤣
Who remembers when he looked like oj simpson's shadow
I love his speaking voice.
same
AbnormalJustice It's so soothing
AbnormalJustice makes me wet
His voice is the biggest appeal to his music. You can develop and imitate rap skills but that voice is natural.
AbnormalJustice same
Pac would be so proud of Kendrick
Facts
Absolutely
2pac was a plant watch 2pac hoax chapter 21
@@ramonstanley9406 be quiet, you aren’t woke
I agree
I want a whole audio book read by him 🥺
Fr, listening to tpab him reciting his poem is amazing
@Vivaan Creed 😅😅😅😅😅✋
@@debrah_dante2939 does it work?
He made one it’s called “good kid mad city” 😁
Right his voice is so soothing 😭
The conversation about him being a GOAT back then is pretty funny to listen to now because he definitely worked his way to the title.
On god
I could listen to Kendrick talk about random stuff all day
Ben Thompson same with j.cole
Me2
Yessz
home9dog2blue you too for being here listening
Lol hell na
Kendrick’s smile is everything !
In true Gemini fashion.
His voice is therapeutic.
He so humble and speaks so pleasantly..
lol humble
@@axisfifa959 Sitting Down while typing this.
Destiny Clayton yes!😂
IKR. He seems like a sweetie pie.
Yea cause he sat down
Kendrick seems like such a great person. Total role model. Like when they make a dig on someone, even jokingly, he doesn't judge them, like he'll laugh a little bit so they aren't feeling weird, and then follows it up with a compliment about that person. Even when he's talking about Ferguson and people's reaction, he doesn't seem angry, he just seems sad. That's a level of emotional intelligence that most people just don't reach.
Some people just born wit it
It's his connection with God. With all due respect to Kendrick because he's a wise man, but all his wisdom and self restraint comes from God thats why he talks about him so much in his music.

Yirmeyah Israel Preach my dude
Every single kendrick album is a classic i dont care what yall say
nah
yeah
Tommy Gibinson which one isn’t?
Gerald damn isnt a classic
@@ammadawg1766 fax I'm a die hard Kendrick Lamar fan, but I'll admit damn was a bit overrated. If it was made by another artist they would call it trash, but since its Kendrick the people are gonna treat it way differently when they hear a album is made by Kendrick, instead of a random
His voice is so soothing, sounds like a warm hug
I love these comparisons, very poetic
He’s got a morning voice for his everyday voice😊
We need a Kendrick Siri
Also that was exactly what I was thinking but I didnt want to say it lol
"Sounds like a warm hug"... You super smooth for this one 👌
To Pimp A Butterfly is literally my favorite album of all time. When I first got it, I used to play the cd in my Chevy Cobalt everyday lol no skips! I knew it was a classic. I listened to it last week and it was extremely nostalgia of the time I was in. I learned something new about it last week. And “These Walls” was my favorite song!!!!! I used to repeat that song ALL THE TIME❤ LOVE KENDRICK
I love Kendrick…I’m here in 2024. Yes, I’m a huge fan, I can listen to him speak all day and night. Knowledge is power and he’s powerful ❤
Yes!! Kids take the words said by their favorite artists very seriously! I love how he acknowledges this and respects that shit!! Love Kendrick!! #goat
Who's still watching even though it's a throwback 💎
not me, I turnt this shit right off.. thought this was a new interview, I been seen this one
Kung Fu Kenny me I've seen it 5 times Ima still watch it kdot is the goat🐐💯
This man is just something Else
Still watching
I watching this movie
I love how he said about Killer Mike, “he’s gonna continue to do it too” and he had a phenomenal album this year.
The real ones know. It's a small group though
Euphoria brought me back in 2024.
Drake brought u back
I am fifty years old and I admire Kendrick Lamar, J. Cole and others like them. I told my daughter I'm from the old school rap, and the rappers now having nothing to say but about Bitches, hoes, money, and killing. My daughter says true Mama but listen to Kendrick Lamar and I have loved his music and J. Cole every since. I like when someone trying to put out a message for our people. I Love my Black People we need to be united in Love and Grow as a People.
Loretta Thomas I love you grandma. Keep enlightening ur daughter and these young kids about real music I’m a youngin myself 19 yrs old and I love old school from slick rick to rakim to Nas to big L to KRS one and whole lot more 💯
Loretta Thomas shut up
@@shutupdodo3686 why?
Nick old school rappers talked about the same crap
Go looks at j coles and lil pumps interview
damn, even the coolest dudes can fall into depression
Mario Montes Ya its real
It's always the more intelligent who are more susceptible to depression
sangchujuice that shit is definitely true.
you better preach sangchujuice
Because material things can't keep thinkers and intellectuals happy.
I just looked up his fiancée who’s been with him since high school, and she is not only absolutely stunningly beautiful, but has stuck by Kendrick for a long time and they are best friends. Just... I love healthy relationships and keeping it private seems like the right choice, just to honor something precious like that and keep themselves grounded.
That’s bc Kendrick is a true blessing, not only to hip hop, but to humanity. So shockingly humble and unassuming, given his preternatural talent
Exactly! She’s naturally beautiful and she’s definitely not like how these females are now days you feel me? They’re both blessed to have each other it’s so beautiful ! Plus having a lil family of their own now it’s trulyyyyy a blessing 💖
@@SymphonyTaylor lots of women are upset with Kendrick for being with her cuz of skin tone :(
@@BluEx22329 where? I've never really seen that 🤔 A lot of women want kendrick so I could understand hem being mad he has a women period but her skin tone? Nah
He talks about sleeping with multiple women all the time
This is a real human here. Someone that can acknowledge his flaws, be humble, and have the most confidence ever! He’s also the greatest rapper ever
Who's still watching in 2019?
yerrr
👋
He da goat
🐐
Moi
He was right, 5 years later and I’m still listening to Good kid maad city and To pimp a butterfly
Ken Lamar is still the best of the current generation. He is a true artist not a reality star. He seems like he's always in the creative process and that's probably why he's not doing tons of interviews. He is a man who spends a lot of time thinking and chooses his words carefully when he speaks. Mad love and respect.
Aaron Befus Ken lamar? You mean kendrick lamar
King Joker Boy if you don’t get
Fact
he's so humble and intelligent
miracle aligner ikr 🌹
it’s funny you say that, he actually has a song named HUMBLE. yeah that’s crazy though
K-Dot- Grimy and Aggressive
Kendrick Lamar- Chill
can’t believe that’s his actual voice. dude’s undeniable
Charlamagne like " So when you met Pac in Cuba..." lmaooo
Kendrick is so eloquent.
Who here after all the dissin 😂
1
Yep. Yep.
I Really Miss Kendrick ❤️ Whose Here In 2019
It's been over 2 years since DAMN. Hopefully we'll get something in 2020. I Hope, Lol.
Pause 🙌🏿
@@davidkirivita2918 No pause 🙌
@@thedon0516 He's supposedly releasing a Rock inspired album, next, according to Rolling Stone
@@robinvolpi This year??? There's so many TDE artists confirmed for 2020. ScHoolboy Q, Isaiah Rashad, Reason, & SZA all dropping this year. And then Ab Soul hasn't dropped in nearly 4 years but he's working on his album as well
This man is revolutionary. Old soul. I'm 37 years old, and dudes like Kendrick are crazy rare.
I'm a lifelong music addict, and his music and words are timeless, and his stance in America is absolutely essential.
Pay attention young men. This ain't just a rapper, he's a fucking well spoken, cool, and collected man. We need more of them.
I couldn’t agree with you more. We don’t get many Kendrick’s in our lifetime. We’re blessed to have individuals like this that all men and women can learn from.
i know this is really old but it just makes me feel good knowing j. cole and Kendrick talk on the regular
K Dot is a different breed! A man who thinks before he speaks; speaks so eloquently and ever so humble. Forever my guy!!
"i make music for people in the prison system and college kids coz they got nothing else but time" understood from a college student
He is high-key cute😭 and he is above all the media industry validation. I will listen to him every time he speaks something. 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌 n all his songs
Yes
'I don't expect nothin', I just put the music out' - GOAT
16:50 I predicted this back in 2015. I told my friends who disliked Butterfly that in a year or more, they were gonna love this album and what happened... It took my one friend 1 year to love this album and the rest of my friends almost 4 years to appreciate. Classic albums take time to grow
ryan gilliam everyone is different I loved it the first time I heard it man. The real know
I still don't feel it. I like all Kendricks other albums though
@@micperez819 this is me man, I love everything k dot touches but TPAB isn’t my favorite. Gkmc is better tbh
@@ccoww yeah TPAB is sort of an acquired taste. It’s a more dense album with so many underlying meanings. I had the same problem with TPAB, but I just listened to all of those songs independently, and the more you do so, the more it makes sense. I started with Alright, and then i, u, Institutionalized, and so on and so on. It works with a lot of very dense albums. The average person can’t pick up even 30% of albums like that on the first listen.
People don’t feel the jazz vibes, even though it comes from our roots
The 🐐
nah em and amdre is kendrick is new he will be with the greats someday
" i dont expect nothing, i just put the music out" love that statement, its always great to never have expectations or you will get let down.
It’s funny how he said his favorite songs were Momma and These Walls because those are mine!!! They are a vibe!!! And make me feel something. Reading the lyrics years later just makes this album so much deeper and revealing. KDOT is a true poet and visionary
*Every time he talks you can hear the realness in his voice* 👌
And it's soothing the soul
KING KENDRICK 👑
His voice is very satisfying to me😁
of course he suffered from depression. when someone so smart tries to help people in ways that are better for them than what they themselves would have done and then gets negative traction from them because they can't cope with how the real world works, it is bound to cause damage.
I felt this
It's frustrating when the people you're helping can't see how you're helping, and why they should help themselves. It's hard to change people living in survival mode, esp. if you care about them very much.
Kendrick is the reason why hip hop still alive #facts
Daniel Guerrero nope
meehguee yes thats true todays rap is garbage
Aaron Dugger nope
meehguee you must be a yachty fan huh?
Aaron Dugger Kendrick not the only reason tho, earl? Cole? Joey? Those four were all shouted out by a tribe as well 🧐 also Flatbush zombies, Vince Staples, P.E in genreal, then underachievers, black hippy, you stupid.
had to come back after hearing meet the grahams
Me too, to be honest after all of them.😊
Why?
This mans spirit is just beautiful :)
Kendrick is G.O.A.T .. I personally feel like enough time has passed to determine that!!! He's one of the greatest lyricist of our time!!
Has it been long enough now?
Kendrick got such a beautiful spirit man!
Rich spirit
This interview is classic because at the time this dude just came off dropping one of the most important albums of the decade
🙌🏾🙌🏾One of the most important albums of all time*
I love what he stands for. His voice is is so calming and his music has a lot of meaning. He’s one of the only good rappers alive rn ❤️✊🏾
Along with Cole, Big KRIT
There’s so many good rappers alive, you just haven’t listened enough
Kendrick is such a well spoken guy
Intellect and Wisdom. The main ingredients for a meaningful life.
“I couldn’t do no tours, no awards, I was focused on the deadline” dedicated and that’s the thing I like about Kendrick he always gets the job finished!
Did anyone else notice Charlamagne's mouth spasm when he chuckled at 29:31 ??!! Like wtf was that 😂😭💀
lmao wtf this nigga on ?😂
keishakaboom He does that a lot lol
Wtf
Loooooooooool
DEAAAAADDDD
I like what he stands for
Stand for something or fall for anything
His voice is sooooo calming 😩
Kendrick Lamar is definitely one of the coolest rappers in the game.
I love his smile AND the way he talk!!
the respect Kendrick has with Tupac shows why he got a flawless victory against drake
got damn he fine. his voice is amazing
kiki capree he is everything. His voice
Kiki, do you love him?
Kiki, Are you ridin'?
Say you'll never ever leave
From beside him, Cos she wants him and she needs him.....😂😂😂😂
You can tell how good a rapper is by how well they answer interview questions
2:50 I love how he looks at her and then goes back to the guy then back to her
In my family they would just never go back to me
Literally I noticed that too
Shows that he has respect for everybody. 💯
This young man has a Godly spirit, people should allow him to be him, even for his young eyes. You continue to do your work Kendrick Lamar.🎼😇
Kendrick sounds exactly like his songs
Me smiling hearing Kendrick speak.... Why doesn't he do more interviews? He has an amazing voice
Kenny has such an old soul ❤
KENDRICK FOR PRESIDENT 👏🏽😭
His demeanor, his voice😍
Its almost 2020 and I'm still waiting on that Kendrick & Cole album!!
Being a fan and looking back at what Kendrick has been through to become one of the top artist in this industry is amazing. He literally resonates with his fans through music and continues to grow individually as a person who I respect and admire.
Literally
"Malcolm X , Martin Luther King , Jesus Christ" Wise Man
THEY NOT LIKE US!!
his voice is so damn 😍
I want Kendrick to read me bed time stories and I’m 18💀
Get off your knees
Thats weird
😂
It's May 2021 and I was just listening to good kid m.A.A.d city the other day and my God yes, his music holds up. Kendrick tells stories. Each song is part of a bigger picture. That's what makes him so fascinating to listen to. We all wanna hear what he has to say. Every single album of his is great imo. Can't wait for the next album. Whenever that is because I'll wait forever if I have to 🤷🏾♀️
You didn’t have to wait forever 😌he just dropped another classic
I give you MY RESPECT kendrick you the greatest and the most humble rapper that i ever seen ..
the fact that im able to sit here and watch this shows how great Kendricks mind really is. i never watch TBC 😂🤣
Kenny's voice is ASMR af
R Kelley fellow asmrer
Sense The Villen 🙌
You’re right! 🧘🏻♀️
I could listen to him the whole day! 😀
5 years later and I love this man more then before. He is so humble, intelligent and full of wisdom. ❤
I look at Kendrick in this period and his look....the look in his eyes, the expression on his face, the way he speaks, the energy he gives and it reminds me of my brother who has schizoaffective disorder and it makes me wonder if what Kendrick says in the beginning of The Blacker the Berry is true "It's such a shame they may call me crazy, They may say I suffer from schizophrenia or something, but homie you made me"
Most influential album of our generation man . Genius !!
They Not Like Us. #HeCold🥶
I absolutely adore this man
Kendrick “you feel what I’m saying” Lamar.
He is so handsome😍
A beautiful soul. A poet, an artist, the Greatest Rapper Alive....
I see why Cole apologized.
Kendrick is God's wrath
Two intelligent guys.
Its 2020 and Kendrick Lamar is still on top. Kendrick is a true artist and he is true to himself and does not let the industry use him as a puppet. He is a true Musician..he hasn't let his music take a back seat to his lifestyle like many rappers have!
2:35 very true.
One day you can hate the way that someone walks, the way that they talk and the way that they dress, and the next you can not have a hatin' bone in your body
haha
This is why hes my favorite artist, excited for his album tonight!!
