Kendrick is already considered one of the greatest rappers of all time and he’s arguably the most well-rounded rapper in the game. His songwriting ability, reflective yet poignant style and mainstream appeal make him the most important voice in hip hop today.

Kendrick drops a classic, he disappears, people doubt him and forget about him, he comes back and drops another classic....rinse and repeat
I’ve never forgot about Kendrick, just sayin
He drops a classic, then I listen to it till he drops another one.
Ain't no one forget, we just waiting
Real fans never forget about him
We never forget about King Kunta bro. We wait!
He Best Trait Is That He Doesn't Rush His Craft. Rushing Content Is How You Fall Off Quick
@@jakajhah-0first off that isn't the door handle that's the top lock of the door...and I'm 5'11. Second of all if you look at the picture you can CLEARLY tell that isn't even a knob
@@jakajhah-0 who asked?
@@jakajhah-0 you insecure or sum?💀
Not the best for us tho lol
people should know that most good rappers don't want to rush their albums, they are forced to produce a certain amount of products for their labels and studios. At the end of the day, music is money, studios can't afford to spend millions of dollar signing an artist that makes 2 songs a year. They have to milk that guy as long as he is still famous, good thing Kendrick's label understand his value.
Kendrick Is one of the greatest I can’t wait for his next album
yah me to
No offense *but he is the best*
Kendrick Lamar is the greatest.
We all are
The G.O.A.T 4 me personally
Kendrick lamar inspired me to start rapping and learn lyrical poetry and I hope I can make a voice for immigrants and for mexicans.
I hope succeed, lead and inspire
Go for it!!!
you can do it bro!!!

WE NEED A 2024 FOLLOW UP TO THIS ONE. KENDRICK LAMAR SAVES RAP FROM BBL DRIZZY
KDot listening to his new album and be thinkin' mortals ain't ready for this
For real though I don’t think we are. I have a hard time imagining Kendrick would put out anything below average (Or flop for that matter). His albums are hard to top but I don’t think he thinks about “topping”.
Funny comment🙂
I think he partially feels this way, but also since he's a perfectionist he probably also listens to the album thinking how much it's going to emotionally impact us. Just delivering bars is 'easy', but to paraphrase what what he said to make a kid want to not do something like killing someone seems to be more important to him. Either way, we know whatever is coming will be incredible as a final product.
This comment slaps even harder, considering the crazy dimensions this new album (Mr. Morale and the Big Steppers) taps into.
@@oskarludvigsen52083 years later how you feel about it?
Imagine the pressure on Kendrick after THOSE albums... I would also take my time creating new music, not sure if it is even possible to reach that level again, but if any can do it, it is Kendrick
Nobody thought he could top good kid maad city either but he came through with tpab. He's been in this situation before so I'm sure he can handle it.
There's so much pressure on him man..... He has to take his time..... I wonder what he's going through right now..... But everybody knows if he quit this season, he'll still be the greatest aye
@@someguy315 gkmc and tpab great on their own realms. Damn for me didn't have that replayability but song for song those lyrics only he can pull off. The older I get the more I appreciate tpab. Am I the only one?
@@ChivasBarcelonaMex I get you, the album is one of the most growing pieces of art for me personally. I gotta listen to it again.
@@ChivasBarcelonaMex I think that "Untitled" album gets slept on , that album is short but it's HARD.
I've been waiting for this as much as Kendricks new album
agreed
Me to bro
Same man
💯 for real
Just happy something Kendrick related is out.
I remember you was conflicted
Misusing your influence
Sometimes I did the same
Abusing My Power Full Of Resentment
Resentment that turn into deep depression
Simone Diamante Found myself screaming in the hotel room
I didn’t want to self-destruct
@@jinsakai5788 *ahhhhhhhhhhhh!*
Kendrick essentially summed all of damn up in his prior track in Section 80 Ab-Souls Outro when he says:
“I'm not the next pop star, I'm not the next socially aware rapper
I am a human motherfucking being over dope ass instrumentation”
his next album will be without a doubt be his biggest. if marketed right, and if the stars align correctly, he could do 800-900k first week
Make it 1 Million ❤️
Unless he comes with sum heat heat ion know about that
@@skeliton1505 at this point, heat heat will have almost nothing to do with a rapper selling over 700k units first week. Marketing will be the major deciding fact.
@@chiemxerxobi Kendrick’s marketing is “heat”

I encourage people to come to South Africa🇿🇦 and see how we live and how original we are.
It's a goal for me
i live in SA(capetown) the images he put in dont bring SA no justice bruh its not only shacks yoh😅
@@_Leooooo Thats exactly what i thought too brah😁 we got sky scrappers and beautiful cities too🇿🇦
Danko👊🏾
@@_Leooooo but that’s not what Kendrick visted he went to the poor areas and saw how bad others have it
To Pimp a Butterfly is one of the greatest albums of all time.
the greatest**
@@cohenrogers5570 True, my apologies.
This man deserves so much more attention
Ye kendrick is pretty underground
Not sure if you are talking about Kendrick or this channel. But this channel definitely does.
Its supposed be this way
Aint nobody arguing about that
He has it but wont Bragg you wont see him like other rappers wearing thousands of chains round his neck his humble
I feel like part 3 need to be about MMATBS and the Beef of ‘24; how Kendrick freed himself to smite the Drakes of our world
KENDRICK IS THE GOAT!!!
Awesome video and editing man. Keep it up. Kendrick one of the few I like from the new school since I am a oldschool fan through and through.
Im an old school fan but i only listen to stuff that sounds like old school rap
@@patrickmcgrade6699 Kendrick doesn’t sound old school at all. He’s a highly intelligent modern artist. He’s just lyrical. I guess that’s what you like. Straight lyricism. To Pimp A Butterfly sounds nothing like old school. Nor DAMN. If you only associate lyricism with old school rap then you’re wrong. Kendrick is by far the most original and most creative hip hop artist of the modern generation. Kanye is close. But he lacks the lyrical skill.
@@WyWid Kendrick is also relatable, this is what makes him so inspiring. It shows in his work and as well his thought process when trying to convey his message, his work is not only for ear porn but as well a social movement.
J Cole too
@@namitakumaridas1870 you can’t really compare Kendrick and cole
It pains me that most people will never understand his music
Kendrick’s music ain’t really hard to decipher or understand, he’s lyrical ability ain’t that of Lupe Fiasco, Aesop rock, or mf doom. But I get what you mean
@@pitbull3868 he prob mean that some people are ignorant so they wouldn’t really grasp the meaning in his songs
For example the Fox News segment
@@pitbull3868 *MF DOOM
@@pitbull3868 All caps when you spell the man's name
The intro with the radio is the definition of nostalgia
I was always a metalhead. When I got to college i started to listen to different things and got interested in rap. Asked a friend for some songs, he send me Alright and couple others. I felt that there was something different there. When I heard DAMN the first time I became a hip hop fan. It expanded my taste and made me appreciate the art of rap and dive into new songs.
metalhead here, dp is proof i guess. i had listened to rap before kdot, but damn turned me on to a lot of rap music i never knew existed. even in my country (india) rap is getting big and i got into that music as well all due to playing damn on repeat in 2018.
People asking why he put those pictures of South Africa, cuz that’s where Kendrick visited, the slums like where he from. Not the nice cityies
False, He visited Cape Town which is literally the prettiest city in Africa also Robin Island where Mandela was imprisoned. He probably just passed those areas
B
@@thapeloledwaba2251 well what do u expect him to sleep in the village and take selfie’s with babies ?
Here after the release of "Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers", I feel like Kendrick utilizes taking years off more than any other artist I can think of, sure Frank Ocean is also a recluse, but I would argue that Kendrick has the ability to observe and write about current events in society and juxtapose it to how he grows as a person and his ever evolving perspectives. It's truly remarkable.
I used to be one of those edgy, essentially racist, conservatives. Although I regret being like that, Kendrick's music really changed my view on really everything.
This is a definition of a rap artist. Painting pictures w words, feelings, straight emotion. Less records than wheelchair boy, but the content hits 10x harder than all albums combined. 🙌 my ears rejoice!! Only gets better w every listen
Damn the video quality, man the esiting for starters. Your content is always good but this feels different, like a step up. Idk how to put it.
Editing*
Rra Msibi. Saubona, you got inspired big time
@@PHlophe True that, I love it when people grow at what they do hey. Like he's videos are always good but to see them still be better. As the saying goes 'compete with yourself'
I cried a little when the crowd sing "We're gonna be alright, we're gonna be alright", so powerful
Why does part 1 have 960k views and this one 259k?
Why doesn't Jake Z (soulr) have over a million subscribers at this point.
Everything he does is so deeply researched and of such quality.
I still hope Netflix or another giant will sign him as an documentary film maker with a big budget and great team.
Looking at what he does it already feels like that, just wish he could get paid already.
*I wish one day Kendrick gives you a shoutout, that would be so satisfying to me, hopefully it will mean something to you too Jake.*
Literally his voice is so silky and unique and he sounds like he’s rapping wen he’s simply speaking. It’s crazy. This man is the og for our generation.
The best album in the world
To pimp a butterfly 🦋
You could literally make ten hours of this type of content and id watch it all in one sitting
Brockhampton, Death Grips and Childish Gambino video is all we need
yes fuckin sir!!! pls
This was brilliant - but God damn makes me miss kendrick so much😭
as a white kid from brazil (absolutely disconnected with everything kendrick has ever talked about) he really opened my eyes with good kid and TPAB, i think if i never heard those two projects i wouldnt be nearly as conscient of the reality of a black kid and the black experience all around the world
i truly believe every single person in the world should listen to his records, read his lyrics and reflect on the part they play on those stories
I heard of Kendrick but never listened to him until I listened to Damn. Now I’m like where the hell have I been? Thank you for making this documentary.
After all the teasing on Instagram it's finally here
Truly one of the greatest poets of our generation. He feels like someone we know personally and someone who we can truly understand despite his mainstream success.
*Jake:* Kendrick had his first child with his highschool sweetheart.....
*Me, new to the fandom:* SHERANE!
*Jake:* Whitney Alford
*Me:* Oh...
I'm pretty sure Sherane and Kendrick haven't talked in like 15 years... since he left Compton at least
This Kendrick two part series is hands down the best videos I’ve watched on UA-cam, hands down some of the best editing on UA-cam.
This is really good man. Those clips of the protests with people singing "we gon' be alright" gave me chills.
Kendrick is my role model as a growing person. Thank you Jake for giving us this great content!💯✊
i wish this could just go on forever..
Brilliant film Jake - great pacing and emotion. Felt like 2 minutes. My brain melts just thinking about how much footage you had to handle. Serious respect. 💪🏼
I've watched a lot of videos on UA-cam but none like this, it's not even because Kendrick is my favorite artist man. This is just a beautiful video man damn
This guy deserves a Oscar for the way he sets his shit up. Loved the first video as well
Spiteful chant is still my favorite song by Kendrick and I can’t even listen to it on spotify😭
I think Rocky should be on Mount Rushmore of 2010s. Big influence on the culture right there
Heavily underrated
Yes
PART 3 PLEASE, LETS GO!!!!!
He's one of the greatest for how he uses his voice to speak about what's happening in today's society. A legend.
I wonder why the show these parts of south Africa 💀
They had for sure had to show the places places like Soweto, Khayelitsha, Mdantsane, Mlazi and all these parts that have huge informal settlement because that where real real Africans live
probably because he wanted the clip of seeing how much more difficult their problems were compared to living in America with Kendrick's interview saying how it gave him perspective with what he saw personally.
@@SuperRavensfan101 It’s like there’s no homeless people in America
My thoughts exactly
when you said about him having a kid i genuinilly smiled, i got a lot of respect for king k
I basically never comment on anything on UA-cam, but these two Videos were literally the best two videos I've ever seen on any platform. Kendricks music just hits different now.
FASTEST CLICK IVE EVER DONE
nice dp bro
Jake, this video was great, to pimp a butterfly is my favorite album of all time and watching you narrate and having the beats in the background brought back memories of listening to this for the first time, I had chills and goosebumps the entirety of the time I was watching this.
Your Kendrick Playlist has poetic justice on it twice, I mean I’m not complaining, love the song but I just wanted to let you know
Kendrick Lamar is the best and most important person go grace a mic in the 21st century, and depending how his upcoming music is he might be the greatest music artist of all time
Jake you are probably THE most underapreciated youtuber
the sound engineering in this movie is incredible, thank you.
tell me why this guy puts hours into these types of videos going deep on artist and he only has 139k subs. This dude needs a couple million for the amount of work he puts in
Kendrick makes feel like I could do something. Im not American but I'm black and the black experience is almost universal. He makes me think I can rise up and I don't need to restrain myself, also that I'm allowed to move at my own pace and come out when im ready.
The subtle samples and instrumentals of Kendrick’s songs that are played in the background are what makes this video so special to me
This part 2 was definitely worth the wait, Kendrick is a damn poet.
Kendrick influenced me alot. Hope I could meet Kendrick Lamar 😌
part 2 yessssssssssssssssssssssssssss
Jake you're the goat, man
Always had difficulty concentrating on lyrics and their meaning since I have a bad case of ADHD but your video was so helpful and really confirmed my thoughts about Kendrick. Thank you so much, your work is truly inspiring and this was amazing to watch
yes i've been waiting for this
Finally the part two we didn't want. But needed.
tf you mean i waited too long for this
AS A SOUTH AFRICAN who listens to Kendrick I'm glad he got inspired by SA and the daily challenges of the black people on this side of the world
love everything you upload
Hell yeah jake! This was beautiful!!!
Bro THANK YOU... Been looking forward to Part 2!
been waiting for this one! Thanks Jake! 👑
This was beautiful.
We truly appreciate such videos.
amazing, definitely worth the wait Jake!
Great production already^^
Kendrick is one of the greatest not only rappers but musical artists to ever exist in the history of music
Amazing!!!! So emotional. Thanks heaps mate
Most awaited one 🥂
Great vid been waiting for it ever since the first part dropped props to u🙌🙌
Amazing video/essay, love it
Very high quality documentation. I really enjoyed it!

Thank you so much for this video🌍
Thanks so much for putting these two videos together, amazing!
This is so dope!. Well put together. Hats off to u. Blessings 🙏🏾
Finally 🙏🏽🙏🏽 I’ve been waiting for months
Kendric also made a song with busta rhymes a couple of weeks ago
Recorded in 2018 (some even say 2012 era), but still a timeless verse from Kendrick
@@Apexapee yeah
This was well made!! Really good job man
Maaaaan I've been waiting on this one. Cheers!!!
Unbelievable video, the way you encapsulated the whole impact of Kendrick, so good.
Nother solid video, stoked to watch this this channel blow up even more!👏🏾🥳
