“You better make me look amazing with this new record” Kendrick: *Drops the best album of the decade*

I think it's hilarious that after hearing "i" people were scared Kendrick was gonna turn pop, and then he dropped TPAB.

note how when kendrick is answering questions even if the question came from the guy on the right he will keep turning his head to make sure both people are included. Kendrick just has so much respect

When K Dot ain't busy doing his thing he should really narrate some stuff....one of the best voices

The song "i" literally changed my life. I made bold decisions just because I was inspired by the song and I'm more confident because of it. Fucking love Kendrick man.

This interview has aged like fine wine. Homie was on a mission fr

Who’s here after the burial of Drake

"There's more people hurtin' than eatin' in this world" Fuuuck man's keeping it real

18:15 for you guys who just want to hear him comment on Macklemore

"To Pimp a Butterfly" is a work of art! He has changed the game!

his voice is so soothing

To Pimp A Butterfly is the greatest album of the decade

I think Kendrick music is worth the buy. Probably the only cd I will purchase this year. He deserves it. He is so organic and beautiful.

lmao Kendrick sounds just as good talking as when he raps tho

There are many reasons but the main reason I love and respect Kendrick as an artist is the fact that he really doesn't care about labels or what others think he is/should be. He's just making the records he wants; no matter how it turns out critically/popularly.

I love how humble Kendrick Lamar is and how the Fame didn't get to his "head" this is how every artist should strive to be.

"I'm in the studio, I ain't got time to look cute "

got a feeling he would be a great dad lol

Top 5 Rappers (my opinion) 1. John Cena 2. Kid From Reese's Commercial 3. Chief Keef 4. Young Thug 5. Shaquille O'neal

Till this day .. Kendrick is still the goat

The way he talks is like he's writing lyrics in his mind.

My top 5 lists (imo) 1. Top 250 movies on imdb. 2. Schindler's list 3. My grocery list from 2 weeks ago, had some really killer items on it. 4. David Letterman’s Last Top Ten List 5. 16 Cats Who Are Just As Confused As You Are(really made me giggles, cat's are so relatable)

Took 10 years but that body got caught!

From a philosophical perspective this interview has aged very well, when considering Kdot vs Drake His words here are such a backbone to all the bars during the beef Love Kendrick man. A true legend in the making🙏

"Kendrick you gotta make me look amazing in this next album" Kendrick making Rosenberg look like a fucking god with TPAB

those last 6-7 minutes of this interview are ageing like fine wine 😤 The consistency of what he wants to do with his influence and music, throughout multiple interviews including this one, is amazing

I don't like anyone in this video but kendrick

This man is legit explaining his personality. Also how people are critiquing him for appearing mainstream from this song lol. It is crazy how relative this interview is I think you guys should repost these points.

kendrick looks like hes gonna turn into one of those really old wise people that love golf

What Kendrick says from 27:00 onward is too true. That's the problem with a lot of rap music today. Sure you may find it entertaining, but it's creating a culture, a way of thinking, in black communities that no one will ever hear of or see. I've already seen the influence of it on my peers from high school. How they'd see selling dope and having hoes was what made you cool, and how being in gangs was what you were supposed to do. Dropping out of school, theivery, they thought it all made them better as people. They'd try to imitate the rappers way of life as best they could, but they missed the part where the rapper is getting paid to do all of it while they're paying with their money and their lives possibly. Hearing Kendrick speak about this himself has made me gain even more respect for him than I've already had.

"Stand behind what you do and the world is going to move by it," Kendrick Lamar 30:43

He basically laid out euphoria and not like us at the end of the interview lol

I came here for Macklemore flame.... Didn't expect to watch the full video..

This is the reason why Kendrick Lamar is going to be around for a very long time. He understands the mission. Regardless of what people say, this dude has had an impact in hip hop for a while now and its because of the music. Of course internet trolls are gonna say dumb shit but that's what they do. Kendrick Lamar is not everyone's cup of tea which is fine but you cant deny the influence.

I stopped fuckin wit the Grammys since Puffy won over Wu-Tang..."Puffy is good, but Wu-Tang is for the children." R.I.P. ODB🙌

So much respect for Kendrick. One of the most level headed artists in the game right now.

After the Drake annihilation Kendrick meant what he said to Drake:’ YOU NEVER GAVE US SOMETHING TO BELIEVE IN’. Kendrick stood on business business! 💯👑🔥

20:43 "just wine, like Jesus" haha

Rosenberg - "you need to make me look amazing with this next ablum" Kendrick - *Drop TPAB* The best album of all time was created for Rosenberg

18:20 The Macklemore bit. You're welcome.

Kendrick Lamar is 27yrs old and he has some wisdom. He's wise beyond his years. I can tell he's been through some real tough situations. I appreciate that through his music he opens up and speaks from the heart. Real talk with his Good Kid, M.A.A.D. city album it reminded me of Snoop and Dre's The Chronic album. When that album came out I was like what the hell am I listening to? I've never heard anything like that and it had me so hyped. That's how Kendrick's album made me feel. I really dig Kendrick. He's doing something different and that's what's up.

The best rappers in the game right now: 1. Kirby 2. Clarence from 8 Mile 3. Beyonce 4. Guy who said "You're killing me smalls" 5. Minion #9 No particular order

People saying “i” was pop and industry didnt actually listen to the song.. its fantastic

Respect to all these ppl who commented 9 years ago

Kendrick comes out with a song with a super positive message and that makes him a sellout? This generation is fucked. And it's not like he hasn't made songs like this in the past. Fuck your ethnicity, heaven and hell, now or never etc...all those songs from his earlier projects had an upbeat positive vibe to it. I don't understand the hate the "I" track has been getting. I really don't.

"i'm just in the studio, i don't got time to look cute" boom. says it all - kdot cares more about creating dope music then creating a "look". this is Hip Hop not Hip Pop

He said “i need this album to be special im riding with you” and he dropped the best hip hop album to exist 💀💀💀 that is so cold

"people think you goin pop cause of 'i'" ....little did they know that kendrick dropped one of the most critically acclaimed rap album of all time with no mainstream or trendy beats on there.

Top 5 Lyrically 1. Gucci Mane 2. Shawty Low 3. Waka Flaka 4. Riff Raff 5. Soulja Boy

Welp he dropped “Not Like Us” they got the west coast banger they wanted

Top 5 rappers ever: 1. Pinky 2. Brain 3. Skrillex 4. Tommy Pickles 5. Soulja Boy 6. Mike Jones 7. Who? 8. Mike Jones 9. Who? 10. Mike Jones

Kendrick interviews are way more rare than kendrick albums I swear

kendrick and cole are the only ones really inspiring the people.

Hearing the reason Kendrick wrote "i" is so touching. There's nothing the man can do wrong. Best artist in a generation.

kendrick's voice is so relaxing and unique

Rosenborg looks like he's Kendrick's shy girlfriend

Half of the interview, Ebro tries to act like Uncle Ruckus, Charlemagne. Smh. Kendrick is going to have a career like Nas and Drake is going to have a career like Jay Z. I understand what Kendrick is saying, but how can black people keep supporting rapper who always raps about materialistic things or high ticket prices they can't afford? Rappers who want be on the Grammys, but don't come to the BET Awards, How many of the rappers perform at HBCUs, but you see them donating money to USC Berkley like they don't have enough money already. All l'am saying is this new generation of artists make it hard to be loyal to them cus they never support or give back to the hood once they make it.

27:48 🥲😢 Thank God for Kendrick and that music stays around forever. Brb

Hey guys I live in the future Kendrick dropped a generational album after this interview and took out Drake years later.

From 26:00 this man is speaking straight facts. Crazy to come back to right now, and Drake literally became everything he talked about 🤯 the culture don’t believe in you anymore

jay rock underrated as fuck !!!!

The best out right now. 1. Kendrick Lamar 2. Big K.R.I.T. 3. J. Cole 4. Joey Bada$$ 5. Childish Gambino *Enjoyment wise. Who's your top 5?

This guy has been standing on business for years and Drake had no idea what he was walking into.

I'm just in the studio... I don't have time to look cute

I'm a fan for life. Kendrick is a real artist. He is in the game to say something. To change lives. He wants his music to RESONATE. He will never do trash music, top 40 shit just to cash in. He is as sincere and honest as it gets and he will be around for many years

I truly enjoy Kendrick talking, being true, staying centered and humble. I'm also glad to see that for once, there is a ton of positivity in the comments. Hope everyone has a great day, and also listens to a little Tribe tonight.

@20:41 "What's your preferred beverage?" "Just wine... Like Jesus."

To pimp a butterfly another classic cd

1. Dylan 2. Dylan 3. Dylan 4. Dylan 5. Dylan

Kendrick Lamar's the type of rapper you bump 20 years later and it still sounds new.

Top 5 Rappers in my mind 1. Steve-o 2. Will Smith 3. Randy Orton 4. J-Roc (from Trailer Park Boys) 5. The black guy from the Montgomery flea market, furniture department. 7. Eli Manning

Top 5 best wrappers • Wayne Little •Iggy azelea •Ant and Dec •John Cena •Bill o Reilly

why does it always feel irrelevant when non-black people say Eminem is the best rapper of all time? it's like you want to shuffle their hair and say awww like they're child

Artists have a platform. We should make them accountable for the energy they release. Kendrick is socially aware of the lack of connection in modern day mainstream music. It's not all entertainment, and shouldn't be reduces to such. Propaganda is a system of influential symbols, that of which we should make sure we balance out. There is no balance. There should be balance. There must be balance.

My top 5 rappers are.... 1.Dylán 2.Dylán 3.Dylán 4.Dylán 5.Dylán I spit hot fire.

Top 5 1. 2Pac 2. 2Pac's hologram 3. Big 4. K.dot 5. J. Cole

25:55 the realest part of this interview

Top 5 Rapper 5 - Lil wayne 4 - Drake 3 - John Cena 2 - Naruto 1 - PowerRanger

Kendrick is so humble

kendrick has a depth and grace to his voice unlike any I've ever heard and it oozes pure wisdom. he's so grounded and relaxed and his presence just has such an incredible vibe.

I thought he'd call Alli to turn up the headphobes

Listening to the last five mins of this interview as Kendrick lays out his vision for music.... no wonder he went so hard at Drake in this rap beef.

Lupe Fiasco must really hate Kendrick. This and saying Drake's a better rapper doesn't make sense.

7:48 dude started spitting bars outta nowhere

"i'm just in the studio, i ain't got time to look cute" xD 22:14

I remember hearing “I” and it felt soulful to me and it felt like something I needed to hear. It was right on time. “I love myself!”

Drake shouldve listened to this interview before he asked this man to drop, drop, drop.....

This had aged beautifully in 2024

Its been two years already,we need a new album soon

Kendrick is about the music and it shows in his work!! Hip Hop needs substance again. How many more songs are we gonna discuss "Red Bones", cars, chains and trap shit. I am a FAN!!! #TeamKDot

THEY NOT LIKE US

We’re going to look at this interview in 20 years and just be like wow….we always knew 🐐

So Ebro says 'i' has a sound that hasn't been heard since OutKast...yet Crooked Smile was made just last year. OK. I see you.

Who’s here after.. “what is it, the braids?..”😅

I'm here in 2024 post Drake Beef. His mission is still the same and that's crazy

kendrick is the best rapper of all time

4:14 “LIKE THAT” 😭😭🔥🔥 it was written

Going into Kendrick archives

"There's nothing new under the sun." That is so refreshing to hear a musician admit that. Everyone is so quick to act like it's a crime to not be completely original. But it's damned near impossible. It's all been done. You're just putting your own spin on something that came before you. I love it. The more I hear and see from this dude, the more I wanna hear and see.

This was a dope interview ‼️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👑✌🏾❣️
