Riccardo Borghesi he's the Jimi Hendrix of rap. Pure marriage of perfect technical skill and heavy personal expression.

[@riccardoborghesi3813]

[@overaxel9498]

This live performance is actually better than the original song wow

[@Rhulani188]

Man didn't need auto tune or anything. Man put his heart in this performance

[@issymid]

I agree and not that I don’t love the originals but most of his songs are better live

[@didsomeoneaskforanegg2168]

it's really not, the background vocals are what makes the song what it is, and without them the song feels so empty

[@Jesusamigoo]

@@didsomeoneaskforanegg2168 The energy here is unmatched. The live instrumentation along with Kendrick's more aggressive delivery makes it way better than the unmastered track. This is one of his best performances easily, I think I've never seen a TV live performance this flawless. Also the transition between untitled 08 and 02 is just so clean... God, I remember getting goosebumps while watching this six years ago before the album dropped, and I come back to the feeling every year. Kendrick is one in a million. I'm very excited to hear the new album. Just 9 days left!

Cole is right up there with Kendrick for me. west = Kendrick east= j.cole two different rap styles. and yes, I own every j. Cole album on CD and LP. the reference just doesn't make much sense when you think of the actual songs meaning.

For me this is the pinnacle of rap. The intensity, wordplay, meaning, synchronization with the instruments, the story behind the albuns, the album concepts, the message of revolution, the hard work that Kendrick embodys in every single work he does is just unbelievable. Its a role model to rappers all over the world, and for people who are inspired by true talent and a hell of hard work behind such a performance. He is the king of rap. Compared to the majority of rappers today, its just impossible to compete with him.

Can we just talk about his flow for a second? Everyone is looking for something conceptual within his lyrics, but when it's stripped down to pure rapping skills, I have never heard someone so technical and sonically incredible at the same time. All of his hand motions in this performance are visual contextualizations of him memorizing lyrics on a page. DAMN will never be To Pimp a Butterfly, but witnessing someone so good at rapping that he's almost bored of it is something we're lucky to be a part of and we'll never fully appreciate

I get hypnotized every time I watch this

[@ibaurob8736]

I watch this when I'm feeling down, it picks me back up. edit: then I go watch J cole's LA leakers freestyle and keep thuggin it out.

[@BrobleYT]

Most godly performance I've ever seen on a late-night show. No disrespect to Jimmy Fallon but his show doesn't deserve peak Kendrick in his zone lol

[@loweni7460]

Facts the crowd was trash

Hell the Fuck no lol this would’ve been bomb on Arsenio, energy would’ve blow the roof over there for sure!

"My home girl got a credit card scam, she got a scholarship to college, and she don't give a damn ". From there the song got more soulful and real.

Kendrick is the best thing to ever happen to music in my humble opinion

[@ILETMYNUTSHANG69]

“I can put a rapper on life support” needed to come back to this. Stop playing with this man.

[@WavyKid13]

Narrator: they did not stop playing

[@Costa173]

Drake didn't listen

[@SirTilley]

How about that fucking band though?

[@mrdonovan213]

Scott Moreira totally agree and that's why the roots are legendary

[@clark503]

Michael Wiegand Which is why TPAB is the best hip hop album of all time.

Untitled 8 (The Tonight Show) [Verse 1] Two tears in the bucket I cry with you But I could never lie with you I could never afford not to afford I could never put my plans to the side with you I could never see a red light Like a deer with the headlight I freeze up when I re-up See I barely had patience And you're relating Only the moment to complete us Why you hate to work for it? Went to work for it See a nine to five was so jive turkey But when Thanksgiving came, checks didn’t hurt me You plead the fifth I read the fifth amendment We both criminals with bad intentions They say time heals all But if I could shortcut My success, Corvettes by tomorrow [Hook] But why you so sad? Walking around with them blue faces They say I’m down on my luck And it’s something I gotta have Blue faces I hit the bank today and tell them color me bad Blue faces Get that new money, and it’s breaking me down [Verse 2] My home girl got a credit card scam She got a scholarship to college but she don’t give a damn Intuition got a black woman wishin' She sayin' this on the phone with the noodles in the pan I know you, woman, I console you, woman You feel like the universe owes you, woman Oh the anticipation, hoping you could make it Women don't prosper chasing education But you're talented, and can't handle it And your homegirls can't be your manager 365 times four, plus more Can't get it right, tell me, do you got the stamina? But ain't no money like fast money Even today I'm considered a crash dummy A rapper chasing stardom, how can I fast forward? My accolades better than all them [Hook] But why I'm so sad? Walking around with them blue faces They say I’m down on my luck And it’s something I gotta have Blue faces I hit the bank today and tell them color me bad Blue faces Get that new money, and it’s breaking me down to the top [Bridge] I love god, I love speed, I love drank, I love me I love oceans in the deep I love women, I love me I love God But I’m scared of god speed Sometimes [Verse 3] Wrote this song looking at a broke home maybe You know the poverty stricken the little broke boy and baby Somebody say "Kendrick American they sho’ is crazy" And I said “why?” Then he looked me in the eye He said homie you messed up You breaking my good luck You wishing for miracles Living through shit, you’re crying hysterical Settle for everything, complain about everything Say your soul crack, my world amphetamines You projects ain’t it, I live in the hood You living to keep warm I’m living to pay rent I paid my way through Praying to Allah You played your way through dealing with Wi-Fi Bull shit yourself, you talking to strangers Same thing go for the ones you came with We all came on the boat looking for hope And all you can say is that you’re looking for dope These days ain’t no compromise Your pain ain’t mine half the time A brand new excuse ain’t nothing to me See I made my moves, with shackled feet [Interlude] Cape Town, Cape Town, Cape Town, Cape Town Cape Town, Cape Town, Cape Town [Verse 4] Corn row Kenny I wanna get the mixed dashboards triple digits, skrr I wanna get the mixed dashboards triple digits, skrr, skrr Corn row Kenny So many plays on me I finesse Palisade views with some sex I lost a lot of love for missionary This the first time I react Me and Top is like a Kobe and Phil A father figure play with him, you get killed Play with me and he will kill you himself TDE the mafia of the west Move in silence, yeah, we juggin’ like that Act of violence, yeah, we juggin’ like that I did a lot of dumb things in my past Love will give me hope and I won’t relapse Dave just bought a new nine eleven Almost thought I’d seen another plane crash Q just bought a brand new McLaren Rock-a-lack about to buy the projects Rashad got his son dripping in gold Me? I’m ‘bout to let my hair down on hoes Ali 'bout to let his hair down on hoes Top billing that’s a million a show Might blow the Whole Remy on Soul Might tell Obama be more like Punch Sounwave got a Grammy this year Mack wop, but he do what he want [Outro] Level two, level two No I’m not done You ain’t gotta tell me that I’m the one I could put a rapper on life support Guarantee something that none of you want Then hold me down and they yell something like Rent is like twenty five hundred a month What if I empty my bank out and skrrrt? What if I empty my bank out and skrrt? You ain’t gotta tell me that I’m the one You ain’t gotta tell me that I’m the one You ain’t gotta tell me that I’m the one You ain’t got, you ain’t got You ain’t got, you ain’t got Tell me that, tell me that That, I am the One You ain’t got, you ain’t got You ain’t got You ain’t got tell me that, what I’m the one Yes, I’m the one
