Who’s here in 2024?? Edited- Fun fact: I made this comment right before “Like That” and was listening to it for nostalgia reasons. S/O to the fans of Rap 🤙🏾🤙🏾
i think that's what's real amazing. i remember bumping him since good kid maad city and he's always had that artist edge. i thought he was mainstream but that was his critical acclaim. Can't even describe how cool it is to see him humble and preaching good word with excellent rapping.
Hinaff but the truth is that kendrick is blocking your way out of the matrix and he hints to the truth by saying trap my body free my mind hoping yall can see the signs, and then stepping away from the door. You need that fire to exit, that fire for the heart to free your mind and see the truth.
J Cole, Em there w him for current best alive, and maybe GOAT…big Sean not far behind. Cole and Drake are far more prolific, verses and albums. Em, well, yeah. Kamikaze speaks for itself. Wtf. Andre 3000 got to be in top 5. I don’t have Nas or Jay in top 5 ever. 🤷🏻♂️ Used to have Nas but it doesn’t hold up compared to Russ, Sean and the afore mentioned.
@@justin3927 so much wrong with your response............. J Cole is no longer anywhere with Kendrick. It's over. He's shown his neck to the Alpha........... Em obviously there..........Big Sean not in the convo either. ........Drake is only in the convo to casuals.................Nas and Jay Z doesnt hold up to Sean and Russ? what...........only good take you have is Andre 3k in top 5.
Kendrick has a lot of voices and rap personas. If you listen to his work paying attention, you will notice it. Who buried Drake in Meet the Grahams was Mr. Morale. Who danced on his grave in Not Like Us was KDot, this rapper that you just saw. So, every time that you hear him calling himself Dot or Kdot, prepare yourself cause s**t is about to go down.
Kendrick just said “f*** the big three, it’s just me” All I heard was K. Dot sayin “I’m the best rapper alive!” Been here since day one ☝🏼 long live King Kendrick
22 y/o Kendrick Lamar: I'm the heat rapper alive 33 y/o Kendrick Lamar: I am the Omega 36 y/o Kendrick Lamar: it's just big me 👑 He's been telling y'all!🔥🔥🔥
Juan Mahmod I think he just went with the flow and was saying shit without any filter so he's like "and I just dissed 80% of my pears" literally has a feature with almost everyone even tupac
This is the first track I heard of from Kendrick Lamar…I was thinkin -“who tf is this on a Kanye remix? Shit slaps” and then years later, one of my top five favorite artists easily 🔥
It's still here. Check me out when you get a chance. Tyrese Witherspoon: "2013", "Soar", "T-Y-R-E-S-E" and my FYY Fridays weekly freestyle series. I started recording and releasing music last year: ua-cam.com/video/Y3YlSkAH0v4/v-deo.html
@@AngeBiampandouI don't know man. Zoomers apparently or rap wouldn't be selling in the current state that mainstream rap is now. I like some of it but there's rarely any rap talent in this style outside of maybe underground rap and most of them fall in the conscious rapper category. and yeah, I know. Kendrick is a conscious rapper also but there is also this Kendrick
This boy is on fire, if he continues like this I guarantee he will become bigger than any rapper after he dies. Because for some reason it takes death to ascend to greatness
i love this freestyle cuz it just reminds me of the 90's, he just sounds like he's havin fun with it like all the great freestylers in the 90's like Em Proof Big L etc did...just playin with it yet still sick as shit
I remember when I first hear this song scrolling through UA-cam. The top comments were all “he’s another lil Wayne copy cat” “ he’s trying to make his voice raspy just like Wayne” “he won’t last” then few months later he dropped section 80. Rest is history
Kendrick Lamar is a screw loose 🥷 You can’t mess with this guy and think you’ll come uptop… Cole came to his senses and remembered that this guy is insane. And Cole himself must’ve healed, coz he’s another screw loose
Drake thought he could beef with this man 😂
😹😹😹😹
😂😂😂😂
I would have too. Nigha look soft as dog 💩
thats how you know he was never paying attention
🤣 😂

Here after "Like That" to remember what a diss that should cause commotion actually sounds like.
I definitely feel “like that” was bait and they better not take it
Same. If this Kendrick show up it’s a wrap.
I’m here for it!! Get ‘em K-Dot!! #likethat
Cole replied today.. But he dont want the smoke. He admitted Kendrick was ahead frfr C4 till now.. Goated
@@skkkrtkobainaged like wine, this mf apologized
I'm glad Kendrick is finally getting recognition. he's deserved it since 2010.
comment after 9 years timelapse: He's one of the goats who has put out one of the greatest albums of all time
With another great album incoming
@@rithishselvam6846 arguably 2 top 10s of all time both have conversation for GOAT in hip hop
It’s crazy this comment is like a time machine
9 years later.
if he puts out even one more album as good as section 80 or GKMC, he'll reach immortality and be remembered as one of the greats.
Yet another prophet in the comments of this video
then came TPAB and DAMN.
And Mr Morale… and whatever’s next.
DAMN, u just predicted the future
And somehow he released three that are as good or better with more to come.
Kdot scares me sometimes.
Jamison Woodson K. Dot should scare you *ALL THE TIME.*
l
Listen to Black Friday
He 5'3 no worries
I'm guessing he plays that character because he is 5'6.
I wonder if Obama called him on this when he visited the White House. "So refresh my memory. What were you going to do if I get in your way?"
swervon617 😂😂 that would be awkward
swervon617 Obama didn't dare step to K-Dot tho. Didn't get in his way
Why you think he invited him to the White House? Had put him in check lol
gh I wonder the same thing
Did anyone r
Kendrick breathing fire, haters can´t escape cuz Kendrick´s blocking the ´´Fire Exit´´
best comment ive ever read lmfao!!

If you stop and realize that he shot this video in front of a fire exit. Well played KDot...

Had to come back here after the Mr morale & the Big Steppers drop simply to admire where he’s come from and how his art has progressed. Incredible.
He was even shooting when he first came out!! Calling out everybody!
he switched up his flow like 5 billion times, that's awesome

I remember watching this when it first came out When Kendrick wasn't that popular. I knew from watching this he would be big
This fucking exploded in hip hop
Damn. Didn’t want it to end.
If bro come back on this timing it’s GG
The best thing about it is his lyrics in general go over 75% of peoples heads.
Lmao you think this goes over people heads listen to some k-rino
+PyroGandhi i do not have an ear for this at all. i have to focus to understand anything.
+342hi fo real I agree with you k rino a legend kdot good and has fire but K's rhymes is on some alien shiit
Really?, I always felt that his metaphors and word play were most audible and understandable compared to most conscious rappers nowadays
You could say that about any rapper.
This is what Drake and j Cole got to defeat
J cole got better bars easily. Kendrick flow is crazy good tho
They honestly don’t stand a chance if Kendrick is hungry like this

Anyone who thought Drake could win never heard this track. We all knew
Kendrick hands down the best rapper all around including freestyle as well.
the first the last this is a actual freestyle. He said he heard the song on the radio and liked the beat and decided to freestyle over it.
cry now laugh later even though it is a freestyle, where did I say that it was in my statement? Dumbass.
