[@thewhefner5746]

I remember you was conflicted.....

[@Kunaimaster1000]

Misusing your influence......

[@buckledkiller]

+Adil Kaleem I always do the same shit... Sorry thats my version lol seriously though : /

[@Fleezy81]

Sometimes I did the same

[@curtishild2110]

+matt j Abusing my power, full of resentment

[@Fleezy81]

Resentment that turned into a deep depression

[@nathangough93]

how come no one ever remembers overly dedicated? that shit was the dopest

[@jnall5904]

I still listen to it all the time

[@ADAJ3KINGANGEL]

The Kendrick Lamar EP is so slept on!

[@KNN130695]

ADAJ3 Wanna be Heard is a song on there that is very solid man!

[@raysongodson4569]

As well as Faith. That's my shit

[@KNN130695]

Homer Arana it's funny because by the time I wrote that comment I'd only listened to Wanna be Heard. When I listened to it completely I completely fell in love with the song Faith!

[@AudioFixProductions]

the cool thing bout Kendrick is that he's so down to earth and doesnt seem like he's up himself and doesnt wear chains and all the top clothes .. he seems so real which those artists to me are the best Em is the same .. I think thats why Dre works with em cause they dont get caught up in the hype of fame and think there better than the others

[@ruthertagala]

is that Rosenberg as your avi? LMFAO

[@jamesbondjr4771]

Ruther Tagala He spoke the truth.

[@DunKnoThaMySpace]

Kendrick: Aaah so cute Interviewer: (fixing himself and blushing like...) "notice me"

[@monacobutterfly8674]

In September 2024 too

[@sillynelson1]

I like just listening to Kendrick and Ab-Soul talk. Its like you can feel what theyre sayin and they actually give a shit about the art, unlike 99% of other rappers today.

[@mrshetobi]

i think kendrick's and ab soul's music are rly deep i rly like it

[@himshady4723]

GrapeDrank25 I want that purple stuff!

[@KrillinDay59]

He really hit me hard when he said "All the people who wanted to see me make it and didn't get to see that".

[@rentaco21]

"i got a question...wait that's how I sound? eugh" hahah

[@THE.REUNITED_State]

"They barely know they self so most of them should be offended.."

[@ZeBron23]

Kendrick well on his way to being the GOAT

[@itdontmatterbro]

A good example of a drug-free lifestyle in the midst of a poisoned community.

[@PeaceBarbara]

I love his "martin" ears!

[@sharmainem2838]

he has a really nice voice even when he just speaks, it's really calm, i love listening to him

[@Jimmy-es8bc]

already in the top 5 greatest mc's ever. all you old hip hop heads can come at me if you like. i know my stuff too. and i think in 10 years time my statement will ring true.

[@hunterduffy3883]

The guy interviewing Kendrick got so butt hurt when the audience started asking better questions than him lol

[@GeorgetheGreat]

Hunter Duffy Lmaooo forrreal

[@mr.bellefleur]

[@usraa.2881]

interviewer looks and sounds suspect

[@DontReadDis]

Bro look like he works for the feds

[@krystinalovan589]

So proud of his success.

[@pepperAnge_]

[@Marrcello]

[@EmilyMuzik]

Hahahh aww the beginning when he says "you pretty, ahah haha so cute ." to a girl . That should have been me ...

[@LuisMartinez-vj6fd]

gu

[@LuisMartinez-vj6fd]

Thanks

[@tylerwestmoland]

In regards to the part in this interview, Kendrick Lamar stated that he won't ever be able to fill Pac's shoes. Pac once said that he knows he isn't going to change the world, but he will spark the brain that will change the world. Kendrick Lamar and his TDE Movement could be the spark.

[@coldskyclouds7188]

kendrick has an interesting haircut i'm bout to steal it, brah

[@qbling123]

Kendrick doesnt sleep he got bags under his eyes. He work hard

[@WhoaNellyJake]

Every time I'm in the streets, all I hear is YAH YAH YAH YAH

[@abuwadie3]

Once I realized the music wasn't just for me, that changed everything ~ Kendrick.

[@ericwalk9975]

" My eyes are low because of genetic defects" he doesnt smoke, he just started OCCASIONALLY

[@2samarie2]

15:17 it’s 2022 and not even a word has been said abt the collab album wit Cole

[@SirNtokozo]

anyone notice him saying Nich instead of neesh (niche)

[@nikolakv123]

I love watching older videos,like previewing the album and reading peoples' comment before the album was released and comparing my opinion before the release and after I've heard it.It's always funny,and interesting.About good kid,m.A.A.d city,rap landscape has changed so much since it's release

[@SleekWitty]

my favorite artist by far. i love this guy. he puts his soul in his music

[@lilzay33311]

KDOT!!!!

[@uggyuggy8109]

1:16 or a metaphor actually... you spoke on the ground...

[@screwfaceclub]

Every time Kendrick says "Great Question" the interviewer looks like he's going to cry! #Screwface

[@ThatguyWitjokes]

The interviewer crammed his whole discography in his headphones 1 day before asking his question. REAL Audience, PHONY Interviewer.

[@raymon895]

The amount of thought he puts into every little detail of his work really amazes me, great talent..

[@MrYounngmoney]

kendrick holds that mic like a g

[@ThomasJose]

something tells me this kid is going to go far!

[@radiohead123451]

what a nice guy deserves all the success he gets and Good Kid, M.A.A.D. City will go down as an all time classic album its a masterpiece and I'm not a massive hip-hop/rap fan but can't stop listening to it.

[@darkskinwhite]

it's 2018. the world is in mayhem. kendrick and cole still havent dropped their collab album. all hope is seemingly lost, but we must fight on.

[@jetsetters1999]

Um yea lupe's got a nkce flow, but, Kendrick is very unique. I wouldn't exactly put lupe on his level being that Kendrick is a realist and raps about experiences in compton. Lupe talks about chicago which is a whole differet hood. So,they could collab but they aren't similar when it comes to there life or rapping style.

[@TheRealidc303]

m.A.A.d Stands for My Angels on Angel Dust

[@Afroboyadamdee]

25:44 he talks like he raps :D

[@tinyspeaker]

the interview oughta know kendrick a little, his last "free music" was westside right on time, the last mixtape was overly dedicated which is two years old. kendrick too friendly to tell him i don't do free music a lot.

[@oOZAPPXVOVAOo]

Kendrick fixes lives with his talent. Truly inspirAtionAl.

[@bakkfade]

still waiting on that j cole kendrick album

[@Juniversal]

I wanna see more blue collar rappers like Kendrick see mainstream success. Tired of swag rap...

[@AdjectiveCloset]

excuse my grammar, "You're crazy".

[@redireseFM]

He makes me wana listen to it right now

[@keronaugustine3815]

A.D.H.D an hiipower is one of the biggest track on section 80

[@bakkfade]

[@cyrusjerome]

1.Mf Doom 2.Immortal Technique 3. Edan 4.Insight 5.Supernatural 6.Elzhi 7.Yasin Bey(Mos Def) 8.Aesop Rock 9.Blue 10.Shad K My Top Ten Alive.

[@JBMakaveli]

He began at 13. Wow. I started when I was around 11-12 when I was in the 5th grade. I'm 16 now. It's pretty amazing thinking I could be there , and be just as good.

[@friendsdie]

Danny Brown! That would be cool.

[@PlayerQ16]

i swear to god half of yall just don't know kendrick

[@neilx666]

itsup there with all the greats off section 80 actually the whole album is dope.

[@Iamowino]

2020, we are still waiting for that Cole-Kendrick Album. SMH

[@dizzycow1813]

"In high school [his] teachers thought [he] was smokin' stress Didn't know [his] eyes low 'cause of genetic defects"

[@NJASZN]

the guy interviewing him looks like he could be related to Warren G lol

[@ndirish2010]

check out Youngest Head Nigga in Charge, Training Day, and No Sleep Till NYC. listen to the early K.Dot to hear his transformation.

[@1FuckEverybodytwice]

I remember I use to bully him and take his clothes. ...look at him now....I'm proud of him

[@gkay8889]

Fr?

[@XxJTAGzxX]

"Didnt know my eyes low cause of genetic defects."

[@kay_wondersa698]

MUSICIAN ❌ GRAHAMS✅

[@IzakRogue]

TDE is my comminity, yall can hear me talk, im trying to get hired more money

[@Fleezy81]

GOD BLESS KENDRICK LAMAR DUCKWORTH!!

[@Hrseifsalah]

He's so cool! What an artist (Y)

[@123robey]

Exactly what I'm saying man Id kill someone for jis movement

[@Valkryie26]

Goat is pretty high praise. GOAT of rapping right, still high praise tho either way

[@eradawnz]

He's great at awnsering the bad questions and making it into something interesting.

[@Jaycayo]

around 27:30 the host is like "man all these kids asking good questions, I hope they stop so I don't lose my job"

[@ricardo44fly]

Hope he keeps his soul. It's great and contagious

[@bakkfade]

i just mean in the mainstream media since the new album dont get me wrong i support him fully i just mean the coverage on him has been non stop lately

[@tpaas90]

I love Kendrick he is so real and a true rapper. Lil wayne or chief keef can't compare

[@ambassadorbleu9156]

I don't know why, but when the Black Hippy member question came up, the first thing that popped into my head was Danny Brown.

[@olakunlle]

Kendrick is the realest nigga ever. I so love to be like this dude in Africa

[@sirReal276]

he was a black sheep but now he is the G.O.A.T

[@MsDNA100]

i love this kid

[@countoccular]

Is that the same Ayanna that did m.A.A.d city?

[@Axel2992]

23:39 He's talking about Cartoons and Cereal, they couldn't clear the Bugs Bunny sample, because Bugs Bunny requires big time money

[@MrLonewolf21]

Random person in the crowd asking questions " Oh that's how I sound uhhhhhh". lol

[@HaikesXO]

And dude struggled so hard at the end. Good city mad kid ? Lmao

[@JustEraseTheSystem]

lmaooo the way he said one of the finest lyricist out right now had me weakkk

[@JakeBennett13]

that dude looks like Zero from Holes.

[@JaytheLightworker]

"how come they get to ask the good questions" because they actually like his music and are familiar with it..smh,,do your hw sir...."u guys see my tracklisting?" --Kendrick

[@lboogy76]

He is truly a brilliant and intellectual human being. I would love to just sit down with him and talk for hours and afterwards watch some Martin.

[@anonymous6.6.6.]

i love him im gay

[@johnhurd4878]

ODB would've murked that beat lawd.

[@ajchatraw3841]

hell yeah, that j cole kendrick project is gonna be sick af

[@ashleyrussell5514]

I'm all for Danny Brown.

[@handolo1266]

Anyway the interviewer had some pretty good questions tho!

[@paujingtian]

Heart pt2, rigarmortis, look out for detox, all these tracks you could feel his energy in them

[@roysotelo2210]

Kendrick the one!!! GOAT

[@tjvtv4411]

I watched Martin so much, I've finally gotten sick of it. I thought i'd never get to that point. Great show though.

[@NiaBoo321]

Well now I know why I haven't really heard him cuss in this interview

[@changyboi]

Danny Brown definitely should join Black Hippy.
