watching these early interviews is crazy, love to all the people seeing this in the future! 💖🙏🏻

[@SincereDoper]

section 80 is fucking ridiculous. look back 10 years from now and it'll be 1 of the best rap/hip-hop albums of all time. i get asked all the time who im listening to and they seem confused when i say kendrick lamar, one day that shit is gonna be as common as saying jay-z as a response.

[@stagger9660]

Hey its me from the future. You hit the nail on the head with this one. In fact it would be ridiculous now to put jay-z on the same level as kendrick.

[@syrussthagreat237]

holds up

[@alexwertman8543]

yup lol spot on

[@Gibedon]

Wow man you were completely right, and it honestly makes sense. He was great then and he’s great now

[@plainrosiejane]

[@DirtyDoc613]

It's crazy to see how much he's blown up since this.

[@itsAaronSpeaking]

@orenji jusu right? bruh said that 6 years ago lol

[@boob2307]

itsAaronSpeaking hold on does quarantine got us all this bored ....

[@itsAaronSpeaking]

@@boob2307 hahahaha i guess so bro. check out my documentary on kendrick btw!!

[@HaikuMisery]

Damn, Kendrick really became a mega star

[@jdredwine7224]

9 years later and he is in the GOAT conversation.

[@historiesinrust]

He's a beautiful man with a beautiful soul and that translates musically. A true blessing.

[@Jovieanneokonma]

What makes me such a fan of Kendrick Lamar is the fact that he is so genuine. from his music to his upbringing to his youth to his surroundings. He's just genuine with himself and his fans. I love it. and him. Best rapper of are generation right now, writing for us and I feel it. much love.

[@kaavi_xo]

this comment from when dot vs drake beef was going on Kendrick not just hating drake he just hate who he is become as a person as a artist This is the goat being true to him self since day one 4:50

[@StopMotionNation]

his voice is fucking sick

[@nicholasgarcia7985]

Name dropping cole and being in canada hitting real different rn

[@19832006]

This is why I love j cole and kendrick so much! Hip hop hope!

[@LloydxMcfly]

That last part is str8 facts.

[@noriarosr2817]

it's not on me; it's in me! i love this man

[@Bosox4Liife]

Kendrick is our generations Nas. Everyone needs to realize that.

[@Blastoffbiggs1]

hes mad cool, it was a pleasure.

[@bridget7176]

hes so real

[@Danasiaroyal1]

He shut the bet awards down. He came so far. I'm extremely proud of what he's become

[@cloudsurfer73]

His ears are cool. I love them, kinda like an alien. I used to think he just edited them in his videos....BUT THEY'RE REAL.

[@LloydxMcfly]

Section.80 is so underrated mann

[@TheLocura23]

"do it for the love first, you ain't going nowhere chasing a dollar, it's all about timing"

[@jp72394]

I doubt it lol...I just realized that he was signed with Aftermath before he made Section.80, and if he can release that classic while signed under Dre, without being forced to change his sound, then damn I think hip hop is in good hands.

[@shabba939]

Your right

[@lewis2636]

Love Kendrick, he has such and old soul!!!

[@elansings]

Glad that k dot said that he’s glad people have an opportunity to pursue what they want in terms of music rather than being confined to something. I respect that very much. Love you k dot

[@amazingashtion]

When I look at this interview, and then look at an interview of another rapper like lil wayne, I prefer this one. He's just very articulate, and he speaks his mind.

[@ZeBron23]

Kendrick is just another word for the future.

[@splashbeats_]

His new album is the shit!!

[@WatchingYouAlways]

Great interview

[@nuknuknuk111]

yes this interview is so vital. Kendrick shares great wisdom.

[@ImBeeziee]

oh man , you dont know how im in love with your music .

[@JaakeyNineT6]

Real clever lyricist

[@sharmainem2838]

"You int gunna go no where chasing for the dollar" god damn, this is why i love Kendrick,

[@andrewtarsky1265]

Did anyone even notice the quote at the beginning? This kid is real talk.

[@xs3kShUun8x]

Respect this guy!! TRUTH!!

[@SoloJourneyandPJ]

I loveeeee him!!! OMG He isnt flashy..pay attention all you fake ass wanna be rappers. Take notes on what a REAL dude is! You will NEVER be on his level! He is last of a dying breed!!! Thank you to the most High for him. He isnt perfect but he speaks of clarity! He is right about politics! Killuminati...No world order!!

[@splashbeats_]

Kendrick is the new come up, Schoolboy Q got next!

[@alexdalong]

@SincereDoper totally agree he has the best movement, style and sound since notorious in my opinion

[@TwoThreadsAhead]

Don't anyone ever compare Kendrick to anyone, this dude is his own self and is nothing like anyone before him, just shut the fuck up trying to label the guy and appreciate what he's saying for what it is.

[@espinojose67]

The song that plays in the beginning is called Hiii Power

[@MorrisXMorris]

I rly have to say that this is a 100% perfect interview. good questions , very fair .. a damn big artist .. that's what i call a perfect interview, dig that ?

[@cloudsurfer73]

Loooool

[@mynameishunter12345]

not even close. kendrick lamar is our generations kendrick lamar.

[@503guitarplayer]

Kendrick is our generations Kendrick. hes not anyone else. not nas, pac, biggie, jay, dre, nobody. Hes Kenrick Lamar and you need to realize that

[@Chordinated]

interesting guy, great interview for sure

[@susanalvarado2137]

yess , finally . someone that understands me . kendrick lamar is kendrick lamar aka k.dot

[@TheGoodieBag]

@Gtrack246 The song playing in the beginning before the interview is Kendrick Lamar's "HiiiPower". It was the lead single off of his recently released #Section80 project and was produced by J. Cole.

[@rareslaps]

Bro wtf I feel stupid for not knowing j cole produced hiiipower wtf

[@Lazeeworld]

Big ups Pete! Keep grinding.

[@10fame254]

never thought of that, but that's accurate as fuck!

[@greaneyc86]

Kendricks lower lip brighter than my future 😂

[@elansings]

LFC4LIFE98 😂😂😂

[@youngwatts91]

Nice job!

[@BrandonJoshuaMusic]

I paused it and read it.

[@broragnarok146]

11:50 doesn't even mention Drake because K Dot knew since back then that Drake was just doing it for the paper and not the love of it

[@nufworld]

its all about timing...

[@admiralgumdrops]

@Bosox4Liife young lyrical brilliant. instead of queensbridge its compton. i hear you

[@donntraemeans7646]

who caught that dude staring at that girl's legs? lol

[@SneakerFreak931]

Kendrick Lamar, the only one not going in his videos trying to flash jewelry & what not in his videos. Proves that he's just not a bs rapper trying to sound better than the average rapper & stands by his lyrics.

[@Chandiwila999]

Kendrick Goated

[@TheGoodieBag]

@AaronNathanMiller It was filmed just over a month ago. We've been extremely backed up with other projects unfortunately.

[@TakinOvaPSL]

did ya'll pause and read what he said at 00:25?

[@mynameishunter12345]

that song flew way over your head. "build your own pyramids, write your own hieroglyphs" that line has nothing to do with illuminati its actually a metaphor that means do your own thing. like build your own emipre. "who said a black man in the illuminati? last time i checked that was the biggest racist party" that would mean he isnt illuminati cuz they wouldnt let him in. and at 0:11 , well you know how in those old movies they had the 54321 countdown thing like they did on here? thats the film

[@Thebrownelementsk8er]

I don't see it, I think Kendrick is his own individual. I can compare him to pac, but then I'd be another one comparing him. I think he would want people to see him as himself.

[@Bellamamaz]

I want to meet Kendrick Lamar

[@admiralgumdrops]

4:50 camera man got distracted

[@kids5810]

pinknelius moonagus Nas never fell off.

[@aquaAffinity2]

4:50-5:02 that is exactly what 2 chainz is. not a rapper, but a business man. throw a dollar in his face and he'll do anything.

[@Aterdeusisunavailable]

anybody notice he got some big ass ears

[@anwion]

KendricK!

[@darylpeso6133]

Kendrick & Tyler the creator got the same kind of ears.

[@theone456]

4:55-5:10 Drake.

[@sleepyophs13]

nah bruh, I'm from the South (NC) and he don't sound nowhere near southern from what I'm used to hearing.

[@PeaceNLove225]

this is the truth HiiPower all day

[@MrDooyah]

where can i download section80?

[@Pisces316_30KSU]

#HiiiPower!!! I LOOOVEE HIIIMM!!:)

[@ImThatRandomGrrrl]

What are you talking about? This interview takes place in Canada & in Canada they spell it as favourite, not favorite.

[@Finestdeity]

He's from Compton? He sounds southern.

[@keepinitkawaii]

No he sounds like hes from Compton 🤣

[@domenique2898]

He does have southern mannerisms. I believe it’s because his parents are from Chicago. I a lot of black people from Chicago have southern bloodlines. The southern accent amongst Chicago people is still evident til this day.

[@Pisces316_30KSU]

I'm mad I'm just now seein dis tho..:/

[@akaDScott]

@TheGoodieBagTV What store are they in at the beginning of the vid?

[@samnatudadu]

No he's not. Kendrick is this Generations Kendrick, They're completely different and just because he can story tell well doesn't mean shit

[@HipHop1995CB]
