Be honest. You didn't see on this your recommendation. You searched up for this

This song holds a lot of memories for me. When this song came out I was an 18 yr homeless girl, and I would take the bus down to Inglewood/LAX to go work my shift at the strip club. I remember always listening to this song on the bus and thinking how much I wish I had a real money tree so I can afford a safe home and stop stripping. This was one of hardest times of my life. Thankfully I got a full ride to UCLA a few years later, stopped stripping, and the rest is history….but I never stopped listening to this song. The emotions it brings up in me is the same as it was when I first started listening to this song 9 years ago.

i could have this song on repeat for a whole day and not get tired of it

The Vibes are just different. Cheers on another 8 years see ya guys in 2029 stay safe

This song literally changed my life. My best friend passed away when i was 17 and this was played at his funeral. Every time i hear this song it inspires me to do better. This will always be my favourite song. Big love.

honestly one of the best hip hop songs ever made.

This song still goes so hard Kendrick Lamar is so dope. I can't stop watching this track again and again. I am sure he will be #1 soon due to 💖 a u t h e n t I c v i e w s 💖

Leaving this comment so whenever someone likes I come back to listen to it...

When you think 2020 has been bad, think you're still alive in May and listening to some great music...

This song still goes so hard even 8 years later

We need to start talking about this as one the greatest hip hop songs of all time.

amazing how music helps all of us through the hardest of times, how it brings back memories good and bad. the way it touches us, inspires us and unites us. this is def in my top 5 all time..... this song is like money, it will never get old

This has to be one of the greatest songs of all time.

Fuck I don't even listen to rap, but this is a good fucking song.

I remember not really paying attention to this song when the album came out. Then I got high and happened to come across it in 2019. Literally changed my whole perspective and it's now one of my favourite of all time.

This seriously might be my all time favorite beat. If you can sample a beach house track and manage to make it better or equally as good as the original, you’ve seriously done something magical

I was depressed for about a year and a half and I don’t remember much. The one thing that I do remember is listening to Section .80, GKMC, and TPAB on repeat. Kendrick literally kept me sane for that year and a half.

This song feels so good always listen to this...i can listen to this 100 times a day and it will never get old.

2 Days and don't get tired on repeat....Straight genius... He can lay low come back five years later and still drop fire !! True artist no question...Dr. Dre protégé..

"Everybody gon' respect the shooter, but the one Infront of the gun lives forever"🔥🔥

I know where Rock is coming from at 4:34. I used to live in LA as a kid with 6 other family members in a house on the second floor. It was pretty small, and every thanksgiving day we wouldn't celebrate it. We didn't have the money to afford a turkey or the proper equipments to even make one along with some other food. I went almost 13 years without trying my first turkey or celebrating thanksgiving. Now we are much wealthier, and hearing songs like this reminds me of the older days when we didn't have much, but family and a roof over our heads.

They should've had more of Kendricks songs on GTA V

2022 an this master piece still gets stuck in my head

Glad to see this masterpiece is finally getting all the hypes and attention it deserves after all these years

I don't think i'll ever be tired of this song tbh.

This song is banging. Reminds me of my older brother. REST WITH JESUS CHRIST CHUCKY ROSAS

My love to kendrick will never end

I’m 31, have listened to all sorts of rap and rap legends. I decided to give this song a listen for the first time last week and I feel money trees. Just straight lucky to have listened to this classic and enjoyed it for everything it is. Bless

about 2 years... and still that jay rock verse gets me

Still bangs even 8years later and I will be playing this to my kids my grandkids for sure 💯💯💯

In 2012 when this song came out.. I had just left my moms house(terrible situation) broke as a joke, paying 300 dollars to rent a room in a San Bernardino ghetto with a terrible attitude. Life could have turned out a lot different but 10 years later I'm married with a beautiful house, beautiful wife, in a beautiful area. Keep your head up

Almost 10 years old and it still transport's me back to the days

Jays verse might be amongst the best in a very long time.

never get tired of this song

Most people don't understand. How close to the heart this hits😢

I don't think this song will ever get old to any Kendrick fan. Still great after 10 years and could listen to on repeat.

Kendrick is a fucking genius. It was really inevitable that he'd blow up like he has. His music simultaneously manages to convey profound messages, provoke emotion and deep thought, pump you up, and sound extremely appealing. This is just... excellent.

his words is powerful just listen to the hook "it go Halle berry or hallelujah pick your posion tell me what u doin everybody gon respect the shooter but the one in front of the gun lives forever." really think about that

This song is timeless. Such a tune

This whole album was a super banger and still going strong years later

This is one of them timeless, unskippable songs

8 years when this song came out and I'm still listening to this song in 2021

I still listen to this on repeat too the vibe and memories this song has hold on in my head omg so nostalgic vibes are pure I just love it my fave artist ever! Nobody better than Kendrick nobody can be Kendrick, his voice is a beauty.

Been listening to this song since I was 9, I am now 14 turning 15 soon and I can never get enough of it at all, money trees, pride, swimming pool, n95, elements, DNA. Kendrick Lamar you are just perfect when it comes to making music with a meaning, always a message in ever song you create and every song you feature in. Without you I wouldn’t have had any motivation to do any of my homework. It sounds minor but as soon as I put my headphones on and listen to you, all my Conscious, GRIT, and motivation flows through my body.

"The one in front of the gun lives forever"

For those who are suffering from depression like me, I’ve already been through it this is my third time…keep your head up, I’m getting better but for those who feel like me and think nothing good will happen…life is spontaneous and everything happens unnoticed, i hope you guys that have ones who you’ve lost, who lost their gf’s or important people…i wish you all the best in life🙏

Its been 11 years and still hits hard like your are hearing it for the first time.

TIMELESS. 2024 AND WE STILL NEVER GETTING TIRED OF JAMMING THIS.

Idk who needs to hear this but things will get better. Hang on a little longer yall.

Here's a ticket 🎫 for the people who didn't came from tiktok

....to this day, can we just all appreciate how Jay Rock fkn killed it!

Kendrick is a memory for me,,he second pac on my playlist

First time i heard this i was 14 in highschool now i'm 20 nearly 21, those were better days that i wish i could go back to. Apreciate and live every moment to it's fullest because time flies by and doesn't stop for anyone.

Man haven't heard this in awhile, but damn kendrick really is the best in the game right now.

This track got me through some rough times though for real. love this

Jay Rock's verse is so underrated

“Steal yo watch and tell you what time it is, Take yo Js and tell you to kick it where a FootLocker is” 🤣 That never gets old

Kendrick and Cole are the kings

Outstanding flow 10/10 i give it all to Kendrick Lamar

This song gets me through the toughest times and fears. Before boarding a flight I listen to this on repeat as many times as possible. Thank you kendrick for therapeutic music

Jay Rock had a pretty solid verse in this slapper in my opinion

9 years later and still bangs hard, respect💯

Goosebumps 2022 just recently bought the cd never gets old 🔥🔥

i remember my sister and her bf picking me up from 10th grade after they skipped school and then us going to hastings together and buying the CD for good kid maad city the day it was released....in 2012.....fucking simpler times!! this entire album will forever make me so nostalgic

Chilling under the african sun and listening to this song, Love from South adrca

So many stories related to this masterpiece. Felt good going through the comments. Music connects us all.

This track hits on u emotionally and it's a true banger. Definitely has to be on my road trip mix.

the one in front of the gun lives forever....

*Ya Bish*

when you think some of the songs nowadays might not feel relevant 40 years from now, this has gotta be one that will be talked about

Whoever made this mix, THANK YOU! ❤

Still a masterpiece in 2021… and will be forever.

Anyone else listen to this song EVERY SINGLE DAY for at least a year straight? It's been more than 3 years for me. Every single time I hear it it's like hearing it for the first time, yet I know all the words. This song has gotten me out of depression more times than than you can imagine man. I have a stupid silly dream of one day rapping this with kendrick, like many of you probably.

Hands down the best song there is out there , in 2022 still as hard as ever and I’d say even better. Ages like fine wine!

Was and will always be a masterpiece, Kendrick Lamar is really lyrical and knows how to make a meaningful track!

Should be the national anthem tbh.

2 years later and still can't believe Thrift Shop won a Grammy over this.,.....oh well

I gotta say man. I don't really listen to rap, but I listen to this guy.

Thank You so much for making this dope video edit ! 👑 Fits perfect and looks very smooth Money Trees is an absolute masterpiece - and it just needs a video. Thats jus how i feeel 🎶

April 2020 ya bish

still one of the best songs in HIP-HOP EVER!!!! can we still get an actual video in 2020

Anna wise and Kendricks vocals on this song = Chef's kiss!!!

The One In Front Of The Gun Lives Forever 🙏 🤲🏻

"hot sauce all in our top ramen ya bish" hits close to home.. remember back in 2009 selling bud making money with my close friends. Friends you can call family.. and we'd eat ramen and off the dollar menu from fast food places just to conserve as much cash as possible.. get rich and get out ya know?

The one in front of the gun lives foreva... Those guys still live in our playlists, hearts and minds. Rip X, and all the kings that left the world of hip hop the way it is rn.

A brilliant artist will never be as immaculate as their debut...

Late 2012 , early 2013 were by far one of the best moments in my life

years later still listen to this song just about everyday, kendrick is the goat

Bro I’m seeing comments from 2 years ago saying “does anyone still listen to this?” are you kidding me Wow didn’t expect that many likes thanks yall Let’s pass that comment 2 years ago😂

One of the best songs of all time I still play this song like daily

3:59 that anna wise segment

This song is like a movie ill always re-watch, what a masterpiece.

You know what I love about kendricks music? I get the old school rap vibe for some reason. He is awesome!

I was dealing with writers block today ....AND WELL.... this came on ...and the pen is nonstop ! THANK YOUUU

This track is audible crack. One taste and I'm fuggin hooked. ❤️

This is one of the best hip hop songs ever. This album is in my top ten best hip hop albums of all time .I am an alternative / classic rock kid but I love great hip hop and this year with Eminem, Drake , Chance the Rapper, Childish Gambino and Kanye ( AKA doochebag of the year forever) producing hip hop that makes me excited in my white boy pants again I have to say hip hop is back Kendrick you are a rockstar.

2019 and still banging this!

The longer the better gosh Kendrick is a true legend ❤❤❤

For a minute i said to myself Like damn bruh when did this video came out??? Im so high rn

I wish I could go back to when This was made, being so young I was ignorant and hearing songs like this, the simplicity represents my whole reality. I appreciate the knowledge of the sick world we live in but this simple time is what I dream of reliving..
