Sgt Pepper big facts.

Could be my favorite Kenny song, such a Great structure

200th like

nobody sleep on dat bro

I don't know if it's slept on, but it's a great opening track to the album expressing one of the themes of the album. His creativity with his voice and sampling really shines in it.

Bro is a full time performer

same Lol

what does that mean?

sebastian diaz​ He says that on the album version of the song

LOL 😂😂😂

west west west*

Dustin Clark that's just tv man

Saitama Trash yeah but I mean everyone curses now a days even you hear little kids cursing they shouldn't have to censor it tbh even on the radio it kinda ruins the emotions of some songs :/

@@briansanchez7751 violence good, killing people good, says one n word or swears BAD!!!

It's just the way it is, I'm obviously not an expert on this but it's an attempt to improve their ratings and garner a wider audience. Some people may not approve of the language used in Kendrick's songs, but it's mostly to keep it "child friendly" whatever the fuck that is supposed to mean these days. Children are easy to captivate, you can get them to watch anything. Kinda fucked up but it's the truth.

Bro he does it for the little homies

***** It's Mr. Carzola to you bitch!

+AFCGeneral Oooh saanti ooh santii

+AFCGeneral hahaha., yea, another level of horse manure

+David Fisher you cant appreciate good music

+David Fisher derp

Once it seems like he hit his ceiling, he goes on another level somehow

...again. Lucky us.

+UberDewber This isn't even his final form.

+Soul-De-La-Tech I swear I was thinking the same thing LOL

+UberDewber Well said

yes you so right man

two different artist with different lanes. silly comparison

One is still better than the other.

+Nd Oheri proves you're either a dumbass or you can't understand what a non comparison is because they're two completely different types of artist. Its a matter of preference, its about what you're into or in the mood for. For instance, sometimes I'm in the mood for Kendrick music and sometimes I'm in the mood for Drake's. Both are tremendous artist.

+Lamel Ferriera and yet one is tremendously better than the other. never in the mood for drake. his voice irks me.

Shabazzi when your streaming and the song is loading

it is truly amazing

And the whole thing isn't even here

Ik .

+Hip Hop Mindset THE

+sam evans YES SIR!!!!!!!!!!!

+sam evans Eminem bro, he changed the rap game, even if we don't agree on that Lil Wayne ruined rap

+whatwhatwhat30 Eminem fell off in 02 he didn't change shit, game changers are people like pac, nas, these people changed the sound of rap, how people wrote there bars, Everything, Eminem is just another brick in the wall

+TeeJayy C The highest selling hip hop artist in history didn't change shit huh, whatever makes you sleep at night, Kendrick Lamar is great but he's hasn't changed shit, if Fetty Wap is still popular he hasn't done his job

+Moonie iLLmatic How can Hip Hop be dead if Wu-Tang is forever?

+Jay Dub What in the Entire Fuck are you talkin bout??? This performance wasn't even about Hip Hop kendrick performin with a Band was straight up Musical, This is close to Spoken Word...What's more hip Hop than that??

+Persona Go listen to Young Thug

anyone who thinks hip-hop is dead is a whiny little bitch

+Aleksander Olsen It wasn't "brought back" it was already here lol. Good joke though.

Sound Flaw Bro, who is the guitar man?

Sound Flaw why did you not include the full performance??

hey guy check out my music playlist.

Sound Flaw I love how honest can be Kendrick, the way of mix so much sounds and make sth great!!

Sound Flaw no chance goat .. too overated artist

+DeadPixel00 and her voice is mind blowing

DeadPixel00 there's a video of untitled 3 and she looks even better.

fuck yeahhh

fuck yeahhh

fuck yeahhh

fuck yeahhh

Fuck yeahhh

Chance is a great performer too but nobody is touching Kendrick

DreDaDon__ Frank Ocean - Wiseman and J. Cole - Be free are amazing performances too

this is on bitches brew miles Davis level nobody is touching this

Check out Stormzy at Glastonbury

Not really a rapper but frank ocean is also amazing

Drake is nothing compared to Kendrick

And Cole.

KarlJC1411 right, Cole can't compare to kdot

I would say drake and kendrick are the kings of different genres of rap.

Honestly Drake's in the mesosphere

Actually fela kuti did im pretty sure. I think it was two basses or two baritone saxophones he had on the same stage.

One of them is Thundercat. A known artist who works with kendrick heavily. He's got a lot of "wah" to his bass so it's needed in certain songs that only Thundercat can really pull off cause he's got his own crazy bass licks

The other guy plays guitar in his band

he really is.

+Victor Rivera man in my opinion Kendrick IS the Jimi of rap , they are similar in the creativity and intensity

Kendrick, Jimi, Prince, Miles Davis, Michael Jackson, James Brown, Marvin Gaye… Yup. I think Kendrick is on those other artists level creatively and talent-wise. We're looking at an actual legend in the making right now.

+RaulSouza I personally think flying lotus Is today's jimi Hendrix

feel u man he's out of this world just like jimi Hendrix and so me..🗿

Kendrix

+PyroGandhi hahahaha my thoughts exactly

+PyroGandhi Dont forget section 80

+No Homo We Smokin Penises Throw Overly Dedicated in there too dammit

you never came back :(

+No Homo We Smokin Penises God Damn dj ak is everywhere

Mine too

+Tris A. Underrated. The bass line is so simple, yet so ass kicking. Loved this version. I lost it at 0:39

+TheMetfan81 Man.. that songs revolves around that bass line. Such a good line. the musicians in this are killing it.

Tris A. For real Wesley theory is my pump up song cause it's so powerful

fucken same. im meeting him in june and rapping the second verse to him because i think its so great.

Dope man. As always the most thought out and sophisticated opinion is rarely noticed (your comment ) - but hey kendrick is getting love even if people see the beauty barely past the surface

Brilliant description . Totally agree with you

+Sancho Quixote Great assessment. I've never been a big fan of rap and hip hop, but I am enamored by Kendrick's music and performance style. Perhaps this is the new creative genre that you speak of, which is very attractive to music and performance artists, and fans of all styles & categories of art. Kendrick is a Gemini, like me, & obviously highly creative. A true artist!

He's pimping butterflies...metaphorically on our culture, rap, etc. he's saying that it don't matter where you're from, if you want it you can get it.

***** Yup, and it's FUNK, with a twist! lol

+Nelson Betancourt Na its funk music that his daddy was pumping that did that, how you think dre was made!

Nathan Flowers i'm talking about lyrically and artistically.

+Nathan Flowers He is still taking it to another level.

When you get the exposure and the acclaim that he gets you're bound to get called overrated. Name something that is universally loved by the majority of people that hasn't been called overrated.

thee one I'm actually annoyed he has no competition

What do you mean the "actual" music? foh

This era of Kendrick and this band is the shit. To me is so much better then DAMN. These musicians are insane. Thats what hip-hop needs now. And Im a Metal head.

@@SalutexMO he mean people actually playing instruments and not the recorded track of the instrumental.

RIP

Kevin Doughty​ Fuck you

+franchisejr15 KDOT COMMIN! KDOT COMMIN!! *Whistles Poetic Justice*

Haven't seen a rapper wit cornrows in so long lmao

+franchisejr15 Come at the king, you best not miss.

me too.

that's cause untitled unmastered is that unmastered no mixing no after production it's as raw as it gets.

Looks like he's the greatest rapper of all time

6 years later..... Today, TPAB has a substantive, fact based argument as one of, if not THE greatest album of all time. It's surpassed my personal favorites in the past year or so. (Blueprint 1 was previously the "newest addition", so it's not an easy top 5 to crack). This album belongs next to those we historically cherish, whether its "Songs in the Key of Life" or Led Zeppelin's debut album. Or Abbey Road. And that's all while still digesting the complexities, and most honest/personal body of work that he's released, in Mr. Morale. I don't think most appreciate how fortunate we are to witness this era. He's on a short list for G.O.A.T. already, and might even have an argument at this point, after the Pulitzer. The jury is probably still out, there. Play TPAB and Mr. Morale back to back. It really feels like a great follow up when put next to one another. But damn this video makes me miss the TPAB era of Kendrick. Especially in his live show.

This comment aged phenomenally

Usually a solid dude that one, but in this particular case he fucken tripping.

@@sandisiwe15nkosi30 Shapiro isn't solid in any shape or form

He’s got garbage takes on politics but at least he has knowledge on what he’s talking about. He straight up has no idea what makes art good

@@davidgoldman3236 what I mean about that is what @friendly Pup just alluded too, he knows how to construct his argument and knows what his talking about. That's what I mean by solid because even if I think differently from what he thinks about certain topics I can't disregard that he can at least make some sense because of those two pints I mentioned above.

@@friendlypup5650 straight up he doesn't.

Dale the goat

Shoutouts to Dale lol

Dr Wisely we are all here for reactions such as yours. Thank you so much for letting us see Kendrick from your eyes

+Serginator SER drae fans are always butt hurt. not sure why your head hurts.

+Aaron Gonzalez lookin like a wizard and shit

+Xavier Jarnaki I'm guessing you don't know what braids feel like

BenjerminGaye nope

Xavier Jarnaki clearly. Given how tight his braids are while they are clean its is actually painful, when first done/tightened. Hence "his braids make my head hurt." I'm guessing u tried to make a jab with the Drake= butthurt but since you failed to understand why he made his post it falls flat.

Jake to pimp a butterfly deserves album of the decade, unless something better drops next year which is not likely, at least not hip hop stuff.

@@addisonshinedown Especially with how many times I’ve listened to this album and I’m still learning things about it I never saw before on earlier listens. It’s just a real experience.

Yas!!

+lillou08scholar Angel Soft > Scott imo

yall some clowns man😂

+lillou08scholar That cracked me up :)))

Baby wipes all day bruh....

I'm all about wipes

king crimson profile pic W

Are u into hip hop now?

Let's see: Anderson Paak, Childish Gambino's new album, and... what else? David Bowie's Blackstar has a slight TPAB influene tho.. There's nothing else really that sounds like TPAB, but I think that will change in the future let that album live and breathe for a while. Btw, Chance doesn't count for me he's been making this kind of sound (or a similar sound) since Acid Rap which came out 2013

cardinalsfan99 This is more of a serious album that chronic was. it's also much better.

***** I'm aware

Nothing's ever gonna sound like TBAP but a lot of rappers have been trying to sound similar ever since 3/15/15

thatsonyou flying lotus did it before too

+Ibrahima Niang right smh just watch it on cbsdotcom

🤣😂🤣

Jason Reid I agree 100 percent

His band at this time was the shit. To me DAMN doesnt compare to this era of Kendrick.

Pete the Pirate definitely not. TPAB is his greatest project to date. But DAMN tells another great story about staying true to yourself throughout all the fam and fortune. This man is on another level of greatness

@@over9kilo795 I like them both but to me the TPAB and the untitled album are just more my style.

Pete the Pirate yeah TPAB is my all time favorite. Then GKMC and Untitled

Love Thundercat

Uncle Squiddz thundercat is everywhere. he is everything

He wrote the bass line, of course he’s there😂

He did a lot of work on TPAB
