This kid is easily the nicest MC outta LA since the Game. I messes with real hip hop and this is real hip hop. This kid is the future

full circle moment right now

Literally comes in full circle when Kendrick Lamar is filming Not Like Us this year

Everything he said that he will do in this song…he did it! THEY NOT LIKE US!

THIS GUY GOES HARD, I hope he makes it bigggggggg!

please never delete these videos. true history

From this to the “Not like us” video is CRAZY

Rapping all alone at the Compton Courthouse to bringing the whole city out for the Not Like Us video is insane. What a journey for real. King Kendrick.

From this to filming “Not Like Us” in some of the same places as this music video … fresh off bodying the biggest artist of this generation …. King Kendrick … King of the Coasts !!!!

I'm really glad to see Kendrick Lamar blowing up, he really deserves it. Kid has a great flow and spectacular heart. Here's repping for Los Angeles.

“All a 🥷🏽 really WANT, for us to keep the peace peace. But sh** that’ll take some time and mo time. But I’m pushin to get us there in no time…” I had to come back to this video specifically because he DID IT! He did exactly what he said he would do. 6.19.24 will forever be cemented in the history of LA and the culture. 😭 Y’all this is beautiful! We watched prophecy be fulfilled and history be made!

It only took Kendrick Lamar 2 years to blow up! I remember I was in the studio with him like three years ago! Nobody knew who he was that's crazy

Who knew this dude would become one of the greatest artists music has ever seen.

Seeing comments from more than 10 years ago hoping that this kid Kendrick would make it big, well he fkin did😭 always giving it back to his home, his community, and still being the best. thank you Kendrick for being the rapper that speaks on so many deep levels, truly a legend😭

Full circle moment

It always blows my mind to know Kendrick, Ice Cube, and Dre grew up here like I know every spot he filmed this in. I still go to the little Caesars lol

I hope this guy makes it big, this is like the oldies, biggie smalls, eazy-e etc rappin with emmotion i love it

I went to school with this kid. Believe it or not i knew he would make it big. Homie had talent since a kid. Kill them k dot!

I wish he did it to the beat of Nas' NY State of MInd

Coming back to this in 2023 and reading the comments from 11+ years back is wilddd. 🤯

Kendrick Lamar, an upcoming rap superstar for sure!

This was the 1st song I ever heard from Kendrick and he been one if my fav artists since. Wish I can relive hearing KL EP, OD, & S80 for the first time again

Watching this after watching The Pop Out!! Long Live Kendrick!!

It’s always fun to go back and see how far Kendrick has gone

The production of this is really good man, mad props. Keep them dreams rollin', fo real.

You made it bro! Everybody know your name, the city back on the map cause of you keep it Compton.

I remember watching this in 2011 and people saying "this kid is going to be big" in the comments.

Taking it back to where he came up 🎉

crazy to see how Kendricks flow, maturity and wordplay improved over the years. Just hope he gets to enjoy the fruits of his labor

The victory lap....... He did the West Coast right...and dare I say it.... The Greatest Rapper of All Time.

aubrey just dont understand

I really like the video to this song because I can see Kendrick having fun. I listen to so many of his songs talking about all the struggles of his life and sad songs. It makes me feel good about myself because it also shows how someone who is going through or went through pain can get over it and be happy one day.

I love the positive message. Both him and cole are equally amazing, so we should support them both. Maybe him and Game would make a cool song.

I really thought hip hop was becoming out of touch with the essence of expression and finally Kendrick comes. Dude is not only a lyricist, but he is thought provoking which with both combined he is dangerous. Hope his time with Dre will harness Kendrick's craft cause if he can get the spotlight on him then Hip Hop will return to being real

NOT LIKE US IS BEING SHOT HERE THAT'S ICONIC🔥🔥

Here because K Dot is filming his new music video in Compton

Kendrick looks like a star in this video. He doesn't need super-high-quality-super-awesome-editing. He is a star and it shows. Kendrick only needs a mic.

LIVING FUCKING LEGEND

In this spot he mentions the fact that he was in one of tupac and dr dre's music videos when he was a kid and now thats where they fimed the not like us music video. We got to witness it all come full circle.

dope muzik.....hopin to hear more of dat hot stuff....

This what made me a Kdot fan. What an era to be alive.

This is one of those songs where in the first 10 seconds you hear it and you drop everything you're doing and give it your time of day. Beautiful, hopeful, bleak, blindingly scary, bright. Wish I heard this sooner but better late than never

Here we are in 2024 & Kdot still killing them💯

Who's literally here after the Not Like Us video

This is one of those ones that when he's gone it's gonna hit way different, gets me emotional just thinking about it. We appreciate everything you did for the culture Kendrick! 🙏🏻

"These streets will make you or break you Inspire or expire you" so real...

Man this song hit different now! I remember hearing this when it came out! I’m 30 now! I love my city HUB CITY COMPTON CA!

Greatest of all time and from the West Coast🐐🔥

This boy really represented West Coast, thank you KDot for all your music! I'm pretty sure Pac and Eazy look down on you really proud!🐐

Who's here after the not like us video?😂

This shit make me cry

Am from TANZANIA, I first know Compton through Kendrick, brooh really loves his city

I'll never forget this bro when I first heard it in 2009 in a skateboarding video and had to come here to hear the full song and the rest was history

Life is crazy man, I was at the school down the street from vanguard the day they filmed this.

Great song the west is making a movement. See you at Compton College I played on that field 02-04 last team made it to a Bowl Game. Keep up the good work. COMPTON STAND UP!

kendrick really enjoys what he does, you dont get that feeling from other artist now a days.

This is when I discovered Kendrick over 5 yrs back. Thought he was ill and been listening since, but who could've predicted this short kid from Compton would end up on the cover of Rolling Stone and be heralded as the best rapper of his generation?? Wild ride....

People sayin you gotta be from south Cali to understand these lyrics & feel him, but I'm from southern England & i feel everything this nigga got to say!

goes to show this man never changed up on us, always been kdot fame never changed him but it did with Drake

Man, this brought good memories, the struggle was real, now my kids living better than what I had

Wowowow. So profoundly prophetic!!

This was 5 years ago, how did he fall off????? He's been the best since he started writing

If most music videos were like this, id actually watch them. Love the videos that are just the rapper in his hometown. No artificial lighting, camera effects, no make up or hairstylist or any other fake shit.

I was born and raised in Compton and left home in 1988 in search of a better life. ✨ I made it-- and this video brings back sweet beloved memories of my hometown. ❤

From then to now, to have such a huge concept in mind and heart and to see it through, to manifest it right in front of the whole world. The ascension and the dedication are truly amazing to witness.

It's songs like this that make me wish I had some sort of musical talent. This really is spectacular.

good shit man mad respect.! keep it up!

Crazy I was here when it only had under 300k views. Been here since this day and now he is officially the best rapper out rn. Beautiful. And I called it when I watched this.

This is some good shit man.. You took a good song and made it better.. Keep this shit cookin man you got my support.. Be easy man.. pce

I still remember when I heard this for the first time. Kendrick has moved forward on his career so much after that

Kendrick Lamar you made it brother.🙌🏼

Beautiful going back to these "coming up" videos and seeing who he actually became and how much of a positive effect hes had on hiphop. Flowers. 💐 🌹 🌸 🏵

they not like us!!!

Who's here after "Not like us" music video 😅

Damn this is so nostalgic, only ever lived in the big cpt hub city compton for a year or so as a baby but would go there often to see my grandma and my godmother, lived near the courthouse too, apparently my mom has so many memories there as a kid. 22 yrs old now, this whole song is a dope trip to back then

Dreams come true.

THE MAN OF THE CENTURY, KDOT

Never been to into kendrick..probly cause I was locked up during the time he first came out so I wasn't seeing KZfaq like that all I knew was would play on the radio but this one here nice👌

We now understand when his mission began, with this video. 💜

This kid got potential

I had to come back here and watched this again; after the disses against Drake

Had a honor to view this city near,shotout from Brazil

I knew this kid would be the 🐐 his work ethic is unmatched‼️

Been bumping this whole mixtape for over 10 years now

just goes to show we all start somewhere and can transcends to greatness

Holy fuck!!! I'm glad that he is finally getting his recognition. He deserves it all.

this is actually wild. the whole song is about peace and different parts of the city/ hood coming together. he actually achieved this on stage at the Pop out concert a few weeks ago with all different "affiliation's" posing for what is easily going down as a legendary photo. im just now getting itno his music and im starting from the beginning, he really stayed true and just wanted to be an honest great MC

Man I was watching this as a freshman in high school back in 2010. Shoutout KDot, greatest rapper of all time

This is were I found K.dot

Been listening to this dude for a few months he's a kool kid acts himself he don't front don't act gangster he's just doin his part in hip-hop just look how it began an he's doin it well look forward to hear more in the future from him peace... Uk recognition

This is the first video I saw by Kendrick way back when and I knew he was destined for greatness then.

This forever a classic, shout out to my city!

this is whats up

I thought this would be a tribute to NY state of mind by Nas, not the pop shit made by gay z

I'm not too big into rap usually, I'm mostly a metal and rock person for the most part, and I hardly like any newer rappers, but Kendrick is one of my favorites now and I just started to listen to him

KENDRIK ZROBILES TO ZUCHUU!! Jak zwykle rozpierdol

crazy to see how much he grew as a person and an artist

$5 Little Caesar 😢

bro i dont know why it makes me happy to look at some of these old comments from a decade ago

Straight up, best part about Kendrick is that we grew up with him, we saw him make it, we understand his struggle, we know where he came from. he's relatable, I never met the nigga but he feels like a brother, and thats his appeal. I feel like I know him. Kendrick till i fuckin die!!
