The sample he used for this song is one of my favorite songs. I'm so glad he used it. That sample, coupled with all the California imagery, really brought me back to my childhood and tugged at those nostalgic heart strings.
He represented California perfectly even gave us Mexican the shot out I’m not from down south I’m from Fresno and we good with the folks but down there they go at it so that was love
The woman with the shotgun in that onesie, is a reference to Darlene Ortiz on the back of IceT's 1988 album "Power". Westcoast classic. IceT was dating Darlene at the time. And I love the Hyphy Bay Area shoutout too. This music video filled with Westcoast gems. Kenny does it again!
Incase anyone was wondering, the writing on the whiteboard "Omnia est aliquid" is a latin phrase which means "Everything is something" (in other words "everything means something")
Kendrick Lamar paying homage to all aspects of California culture: from Soul Train being filmed in the state, to the mexican homies chilling and doing their thing, to gang members repping their sets. He captures the Bay Area's "going dumb" movement, taking photos at the iconic Compton Swap Meet, and referencing the black panther statue that graced nearly every living room in the '80s. It's a true celebration of "California Love.
I’m from the south and I’m enjoying how Kendrick really is paying homage to the culture of Cali. This album is so west coast but I really love how this video makes us time travel.
@@RobertBeggi I've been almost exclusively listening to rap and hip hop for close to 12 years and I could not tell you more than, like, 3 Drake songs. And he's been making hit songs, that seem to never hit my radar. I like Nice For What, and that is pretty much it.
the giant gold Rolex on the wall was def a tribute to E-40’s “In A Major Way” album cover and the girl in the monokini holding the shotgun is a tribute to Ice T’s “Power” album cover. Kendrick never fails to remind us he’s a student of this hip-hop shit and takes time to give flowers to every era that happened before his
1:10 I believe the lady facing the wall with the gun in hand is referencing the cover for Ice T's album 'Power' from 1988. Kendrick is a true student. Love it.
He showin love to the Bay, to the hyphy movement, scraper bikes, everything. Plus he showing love to Chicano/Cholo culture, this video hella dope for all of Cali
So many Cali references. As a person that lived all over from South Central to Compton to Baldwin Hills, Lakewood, Bellflower, Brentwood, Santa Monica, Torrance etc, I know many of these references..That highway sign is what you will see as you head into Compton. It says, Central, Wilmington and Long Beach. The girls in front of the pink background is nostalgic. In high school, so many of us would go to the mall after school and take pictures in the photo stores, then pass em out to our friends or whoever. Wow!! Never hung around gangsters but saw a few of them growing up, especially when they rode their low riders on the shaw (Crenshaw) on Sunday nights before the cops shut it down. So many memories, lol. Oh and can't forget about that Soul Train Board. He even nailed the Latin vibe. Yep, Cali all in one room ☺️
The Black experience!!! Just relived my entire childhood in just under 3 minutes. Man WHAT!!!! The black jaguar statue! My parents had that under they coffee table as a stand!! The Jesus photos on sale at the Compton swapmeet, Soul Train, the old skool photos and backgrounds! Still wrap my hair like that after a flat iron 😅 I'm here for ALL OF IT!!!
From an LA die hard native… the amount of references to LA Culture that’s avoided past the 10fwy is amazing and a homage to my childhood, adolescent and early adulthood

This video is definitely a Homage to LA culture. But Dot is known to sneak in subtle existential/divine symbolism or message in his music (i.e. reincarnated). Not to mention he ALWAYS has something symbolic in his videos. Everything is literally meticulously intentional with him. As a fan, I always look out for it and enjoy it. One Piece fans would love KDot lol.
Love that K-DOT shows love to the hispanic community, they are so deeply ingrained in LA culture, and anybody really from socal knows that. Love the influence on this album
It's beautiful to watch, and he has always done so as you say, even when he refers to the dark/affiliation side and the beautiful community side. It's ingrained in his music and life. I'm from South Africa by the way, but I can see what you talking about!
Why is this energy so immaculate. How is Kendrick broadcasting westcoast to the entire world like this. I never wanted to be from LA so bad in my life. If I cant c-walk immaculately by the time the superbowl comes around i'll never forgive myself.
He’s so good and bringing EVERYONE together. Thats he’s true magic 🪄. Drake can’t bring people Together like this. He only brings gays and females out in droves.
@@ozon3Easy gays and females are the biggest consumers of music so it makes sense. not everyone wants dumbass gangbangers and musty straight dudes at their concerts
kendrick can make hits, make conscious music, make happy music, make angry music, make depressing music, introspective music, great videos, but most of all he represents our southern cal region proudly. enjoy his music everyone, this stuff doesn't come around much!
It’s crazy I remember back in ‘09 being in high school telling teammates in the locker room that Kendrick was next up. Fast forward now he is the best in the game and firmly in the GOAT conversation.
My grandmother has had a smaller version of that black panther statue since before I was born! Yes Kendrick. The culture will forever be prevalent 👏🏽🖤🔥🔥🔥
One of my favorite things about this “beef” is how everything about Kendrick has been cultural, like everything been so Black, so Cali, so authentically him! (Something that Canadian man don’t have.) Dot don’t have to cosplay anything because this is his real life! Man, I love it! ❤❤❤
I mean I’m Team Kendrick all day, but a lot of black Toronto Culture is Caribbean culture. The “Toronto Slang” is basically an offshoot version of Jamaican patois slang. In the same way that Cali culture is a derivative of Down South culture. It’s all migration vibrations sis. But regardless, I love this video too. 🖤 🌴
@@brotherdave26 83 but I felt ever minute of it. ✊🏿 this for the floor model TVs when ya pop get in from work an lay down on the couch, an yell for you to come downstairs, just so you can change the knob/channel ✊🏿 this for the McDonalds only on weekends cuz you got food at home. Fried Bologna on bread with MUSSSSSSSSSSTAAAAAAAAARDDDDDDD sangwedges ✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿🙏🏿
At this point calling Kendrick a goat is besides the point, I know he’s been prophetic for a minute but he’s reality shaping right now and it’s glorious to see
Why is hardly anyone talking about the Christmas parade?!? I’m in ohio and even I’m excited just knowing how amazing and special it will be for him to pop out and give the kids and community in general a magical experience, he truly is a pure soul😌
@@ViscountVaseretdiss tracks are a crucial part of the history of rap/hip hop, and his were absolutely on fire. This album is a masterpiece but shoot, his diss tracks were too.
Can you Imagine if we had another resurgence of popular conscious rap? Like back when people were wearing Africa medallions and Kkente cloth. I hope so, and I hope it stays.
Kendrick by far is the most relevant rapper as we speak, and it's not even close. He's not just rapping, he's a visionary who's story telling and messages can resonate with people from all walks of life and every culture. He actually incorporates the CA street & rap culture from past and present in addition to creating catchy anthems while remaining true and authentic. G.O.A.T. status !!
Yes to all of this!! It’s so Cali and I am obsessed. I love the references from Ice T’s album cover to Anthony in Menace To Society. The candlelight vigil, training the pitbull, low riders, the unity between crips, bloods and chicanos. Maaaann Kendrick is really for the culture and I am here for all of it.

The scrabble board : "Omnia Est A liquid"
Omnia est aliquid" in Latin translates to "everything is something" in English; essentially meaning that everything can be considered as "something" or has some quality or existence within a larger context.
"Everything is everything, this ain't coincidental"
This video is definitely a Homage to LA culture. But Dot is known to sneak in subtle existential/divine symbolism or message in his music (i.e. reincarnated). Not to mention he ALWAYS has something symbolic in his videos. Everything is literally meticulously intentional with him. As a fan, I always look out for it and enjoy it.

Why is this energy so immaculate. How is Kendrick broadcasting westcoast to the entire world like this. I never wanted to be from LA so bad in my life. If I cant c-walk immaculately by the time the superbowl comes around i'll never forgive myself.

This ain't "LA". It's all bay area influenced. The beat, flow, the dancing. All Bay
bro I've been practicing since the pop out... its bad.. real bad.
That synthesizer and woman singing. You heard that out of every ghetto blaster in 80s breakdance and electric boogie era. Good times
He’s so good and bringing EVERYONE together. Thats he’s true magic 🪄. Drake can’t bring people
Together like this. He only brings gays and females out in droves.
The song is Debbie Deb - When I Hear Music
🎉🕺🎉🕺🎉🕺🎉🕺🪐🪐🪐🤍🤍🤍
@@ozon3Easy gays and females are the biggest consumers of music so it makes sense. not everyone wants dumbass gangbangers and musty straight dudes at their concerts

Man its so many gems in this video of California culture 90s and 80s babies..i cant believe he did this in 2 minutes
2000s too with the turf dancers, scraper bikes
This is one of the best rap albums I've ever heard I look forward to him winning a Grammy for this
kendrick is really just a chill guy who drops whenever and lowkey doesn’t gaf. also i love the references
ok bro😭
kendrick can make hits, make conscious music, make happy music, make angry music, make depressing music, introspective music, great videos, but most of all he represents our southern cal region proudly. enjoy his music everyone, this stuff doesn't come around much!
it really is electrifying
😮
This part!
best comment.
get off the meat
It’s crazy I remember back in ‘09 being in high school telling teammates in the locker room that Kendrick was next up. Fast forward now he is the best in the game and firmly in the GOAT conversation.
It’s finally completed: ua-cam.com/video/x727Oq9w_Ic/v-deo.htmlsi=FJeAi6ErLVLJ-Ozg
Nah he already put an end to the conversation. His status as GOAT is solidified
This is some lebron type lying
My whole school knew lol gkmc was damn near our pledge
It's been a fan since The Game had him on his song Cali -----, I'm still blown away he his this huge
Brilliance at it’s finest is Mr. Kendrick Lamar.
My grandmother has had a smaller version of that black panther statue since before I was born! Yes Kendrick. The culture will forever be prevalent 👏🏽🖤🔥🔥🔥
We had the furniture with that black panther on it
i'm genuinely so happy this song actually dropped and didn't end up like the alright mv snippet
It’s finally completed: ua-cam.com/video/x727Oq9w_Ic/v-deo.htmlsi=FJeAi6ErLVLJ-Ozg
KENDRICK THE GOAT
i had the same feeling
DRAKE BETTER
God I always hurt over that snippet. Real shame it got lost.
One of my favorite things about this “beef” is how everything about Kendrick has been cultural, like everything been so Black, so Cali, so authentically him! (Something that Canadian man don’t have.) Dot don’t have to cosplay anything because this is his real life! Man, I love it! ❤❤❤
I mean I’m Team Kendrick all day, but a lot of black Toronto Culture is Caribbean culture. The “Toronto Slang” is basically an offshoot version of Jamaican patois slang. In the same way that Cali culture is a derivative of Down South culture. It’s all migration vibrations sis. But regardless, I love this video too. 🖤 🌴

I haven’t picked a side in this because I like both but you’re correct. Kendrick showing his power by just being himself.
@@misteriknow2069 tf are you talking about that Canada bs is Caribbean culture not Black culture get it right
I was born in 1980 and this song just took me back and to the front 💥💥💥💥💥💃🏾🔥🔥🔥
i will never get tired of the aesthetics and imagery in Ken’s music videos. love this one
Kendrick did this for us 1973 babies. You have an old soul indeed young man. God is good!

Justin Bieber passed the torch to Drake

Bay Areaaaaa❤️❤️💯💯💯
At this point calling Kendrick a goat is besides the point, I know he’s been prophetic for a minute but he’s reality shaping right now and it’s glorious to see
Them thick girls tore that dance up 🔥🔥
Frr
Your a gooner gng
those ladies killed it! made that part of the song even better somehow lol
I was gonna say bro... Like I was wondering if it was the same person 3 times because they were so in sync and killing it
That's what I'm saying...
S/o to the thick ladies who KILLING the choreo!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥
Yess they did that
You ain’t lying🎉🎉🎉🎉
They look like triplets!
@@BR-qq2gb I thought it was the same lady edited in 3 different spots lol 😂
Yes!!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 🎉
All the West Coast reference in this video. From Hip Hop, Movies and dance. Appreciate how still Kendrick is, focus shift to his surroundings. 🔥
Part II: ua-cam.com/video/x727Oq9w_Ic/v-deo.htmlsi=FJeAi6ErLVLJ-Ozg
yess but staying still he is bringing the focus to the culture
The ice t reference! So West Coast!!!!
Yessir. I'm Southern born & raised but he really reviving the coast. And I love that.
He had the bloods and crip culture. La and Bay area culture. The migos.... video represented the whole west, not just LA
Get ready to hear this track and "Not like us" about 5 times at the Superbowl. It's gonna be great.
Why is hardly anyone talking about the Christmas parade?!? I’m in ohio and even I’m excited just knowing how amazing and special it will be for him to pop out and give the kids and community in general a magical experience, he truly is a pure soul😌
I was looking for this comment..

AINT BEYONCE PERFORMING ON CHRISTMAS?!?!?
Sometimes you gotta pop out and inspire niggas 😂
He’s been doing it every year for a while now.
I want more west coast Kendrick. I loved this album and just about everything Kendrick did this year.
Even the diss track? I feel like hating should not be loved and appreciated but reprimanded.
It was a friendly beef until Drake mentioned Kendricks fiance and kids, then Kendrick took it personally@@ViscountVaseret
@@ViscountVaseretdiss tracks are a crucial part of the history of rap/hip hop, and his were absolutely on fire. This album is a masterpiece but shoot, his diss tracks were too.
@@ViscountVaseret which ones a diss track
it’s a hella bay area album
Only Kendrick can make conscious rap mainstream. We need more rap artists like this who play more into their creative edge.
In this age sure. Good to bring it back
Can you Imagine if we had another resurgence of popular conscious rap? Like back when people were wearing Africa medallions and Kkente cloth. I hope so, and I hope it stays.
💯
this isn’t really conscious rap lmao
Kendrick by far is the most relevant rapper as we speak, and it's not even close. He's not just rapping, he's a visionary who's story telling and messages can resonate with people from all walks of life and every culture. He actually incorporates the CA street & rap culture from past and present in addition to creating catchy anthems while remaining true and authentic. G.O.A.T. status !!
“It’s a full moon let the wolves out I been a dog” probably my favorite bar on this song

Yes to all of this!! It’s so Cali and I am obsessed. I love the references from Ice T’s album cover to Anthony in Menace To Society. The candlelight vigil, training the pitbull, low riders, the unity between crips, bloods and chicanos. Maaaann Kendrick is really for the culture and I am here for all of it.

Anthony?
❤❤❤❤ I’m feeling nostalgic and I’m from Brooklyn 😂😂😂😂
Love it… but I also want to know what was happening in the NLU snippet. That looked like it was going to be a less celebratory day. 😂
He's just standing there...MENACINGLY!!
1:53 Nonchalant final boss
Just chill guy popping n locking
Incase anyone was wondering, the writing on the whiteboard "Omnia est aliquid" is a latin phrase which means "Everything is something" (in other words "everything means something")
Everything is everything
An Easter egg to tell you there’s Easter eggs in the video 🤣🤯
I thought he had a scent coming out 😂
Kendrick really decided to just have one of the greatest runs in hip-hop history one morning and just did it
