Even if Kendrick doesn't win a grammy, he will still be one of the most respected artist of this generation. Because as we all know, the grammys are basically just a popularity contest.
Kendrick is a father figure to a kid in Compton, (doesn't play himself btw) and the kid is in a gang and he turns his life around and at the end the kid dies. That's the kind of movie I see him in
+Richard Grant if you gon name niggas that deserve it, why only Cole. What about Joey, Chance, Vince, Mick, etc? Cole has been average until FHD and still isn't even GOAT status, just sayin
Love the message here. HARD WORK! I hope Kendrick gets the wins that he deserves, but at the same time, the Grammy's opinion on hip-hop doesn't mean a whole lot to me. TPAB will go down as a classic regardless.
kendrick lamar is a weak scratchy throat illuminati puppet representing the Dark Age aka Last Days. Look up "The Kendrick Lamar Deception' solid evidence he's a puppet.
I was born in Watts, grew up in South Central, Did jury duty at the Compton Courthouse. To see someone from where I'm from do this makes me so proud of him. If things go down like they did in 2014 I'm starting a riot.
This "positive icon" thing is so awesome, man! You don't inspire your homies only. You inspire Kanye, D'Angelo, David Bowie. You inspire me, a brazillian guy who was raised in a small town in the south. Keep being who you are, King K.! Keep up the hard work. And keep getting better how you always did! I'm not the Grammy, but after the last album, I recognized Kendrick Lamar not just as an artist, but as an inspiration and as a person, as a human being, too. One of the greatest!
0:53 That's how artists get gassed up and start thinking their the biggest star in the sky. Then when their downfall comes...maaan... All I'm saying is that Kendrick is the most impressive person when it comes to how humble he is about his work. That makes people like him more. I hope he is able to maintain that for the rest of his career. :-)
I'm actually quite happy that people can say kendrick is overrated these days. or like you'll hear people hate on kendrick, than yoj them a good song by him and their like, "I like this song, but I still don't like kendrick." Anyways, he put in the work to become overrated. speaks miles.
People truly think he's overrated bro. I'm not the one saying he is, but people, a decent amount seem to. I think he's always been good, since training day, if work ethic makes you overrated then so be it. I like drake, but, yeah, overrated.
just goes to show how far determination, unrelenting will power, and humbleness can take you. So much respect to Kendrick and really anyone else who works their ass off in order to get out of a shitty situation but still stays true to who they are. Also, Merry Christmas!
Kendrick man, you're an icon and my inspiration. A hero without a cape, you know? Your music keeps me moving, progressing, and aspiring for greater things. I can whole heartedly say that because of your music, I felt powerful enough to write and speak on issues that the black community is faced by, and I can proudly say that I have now performed at The Library of Congress, worked with the United Nations, performed for the ACLU, performed at Equity Summit, and many more things I could never have even dreamed of without your positive reinforcement. Thank man. Would love to get to talk to you or spit a poem or rap for you. That. That right there would be a dream come true.
what artist would take the time to make a video like this? a man with a message. a man with a purpose. a man of the people . he deserves every fucking award he's nominated for. now that kids is what Hip Hop is for. lift your streets up and help your community.
This man K.Dot better take home at least three Grammy Nominations. He deserves it more than anyone. One of the most hard working artists out there. TPAB the best album of the year IMO.
This just makes you reflect on life been rockin with TDE since black hippy 1st started and Kendricks's teen music progress and hard work made this man who he is today
One of the most influential albums of this decade. Amazing work Kendrick!! Came along way from making songs about Beyonce. Definitely one of my favorites along with Cole And Krit. HARD WORK !!!!!!
shame theres only a handful of rappers who send out a positive msg, ppl like kendrick don't come along often someone who has a good msg for the youth, then we have other rappers who are busy rapping about money bitches an drugs, while they sit in there penthouses counting there $$$, sending our youth down the wrong path. much love an respect to you kendrick keep doing what you do.
You're and inspiration Kendrick! Humble hood kid, I wish more youth looked up to you and embraced your lyrics and message. To Pimp a Butterfly for rap album of the year!!
Kendrick is the greatest of our time to me cause I don't see no other rappers doin positive shit like Kendrick doin. And he the only rapper these days that thank God when he win awards.

Me too

Yep, well back to waiting on something to drop in February...
"Nah I ain't famous, he just recognize hard work"
INSPIRATION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Even if Kendrick doesn't win a grammy, he will still be one of the most respected artist of this generation. Because as we all know, the grammys are basically just a popularity contest.
💯
+macmac264 *Winning a grammy doesn't mean anything. It's worth is what you give it.*
Not only that it's not really open for hip hop minds
+macmac264 He already has a grammy though.
+macmac264 "my plan b is to win ya hearts before I win a grammy"
I wanna see Kendrick in a legit dramatic role.
Kendrick is a father figure to a kid in Compton, (doesn't play himself btw) and the kid is in a gang and he turns his life around and at the end the kid dies. That's the kind of movie I see him in
+John Tibbetts bruhhhh if he could do something similar and better to a classic like "Boyz in the Hood" it would be over.
+John Tibbetts So kinda like American History X
+TheKevlar4 Good point. Great movie.
Kendrick is the main character in GTA6 confirmed
YO KDOT IS LITERALLY THE FACD OF HIP HOP AND BLACK CULTURE. 100.
Truth
+BrokenGotWingz can't argue with that kendrick is a living legend
And Cole
+Richard Grant can niggas stop tryna include Cole, he's alr, but dam his overhyped ass fans turn me away
+Richard Grant if you gon name niggas that deserve it, why only Cole. What about Joey, Chance, Vince, Mick, etc? Cole has been average until FHD and still isn't even GOAT status, just sayin
2024, we proud of you Kendrick!
FACTS CRODIE
Is that Keme?
🖤
This is why i fucks with Kdot and the whole TDE movement. Embedding the right mind set into the ones who matter the most: The Youth.
U got that right
You still got that right 8 years later
thought it was a new song, but this was dope.
same bruh
+Chris B Thought he was gonna give us that new song that previewed at the start of the "Alright" video.
+carl watkins I need to hear that fucking song.
carl watkins would've been dope as hell. probably will never drop, like Pyrex 😥
+carl watkins The cereal and cartoons one or the part where he is rapping in the car?
Love the message here. HARD WORK! I hope Kendrick gets the wins that he deserves, but at the same time, the Grammy's opinion on hip-hop doesn't mean a whole lot to me. TPAB will go down as a classic regardless.
Yessir!
word
The Grammy's won't make this album more Awesome than it already is, although it would be dope if he wins 11 grammies
Look who it is, Luke!!!!
Definitely, TPAB is easily one of my favorite albums of all time.
You have to put in the work to get where he is, you have to grind. That's how you'll reach success.
Anotha One
Thank you, DJ Khaled
+Vince Cocoa butter. Another key to success
+Hosea McKinnon don't kid yourself

Press 1 for instant Lamar Yoda
😂😂😂
0:26 awwh Kendrick covers his ears
think people looking into this too deep i think the kid is kenny's little brother
Same, he has a 10 yr old brother
If you mean in real that isn't his little brother
Nice Jazzmataz pic bruh
Obey MyMindlessness ah fair enough then just thought it was a lot less deep than the kid representing his younger self or something.
Donkey Kong thank you bro
I don't know why but the kid in the video reminds me of the 3rd verse of Momma. Anyone else?
It probably is the kid
+DaMoziTB Yh "oh I forgot 'don't kill my vibe' that's right you're famous"
+Kareem Mirtyl the kid is kendrick in the past I believe
+fozzarz the kid is a kid lol that's it. Stop over analyzing
+Jakoby Walker dude that kid probably is Kendrick in the past cuz Kendrick did have hoop dreams when he was younger
This made me tear up a little. I love their relationship ❤️
I was born in Watts, grew up in South Central, Did jury duty at the Compton Courthouse. To see someone from where I'm from do this makes me so proud of him. If things go down like they did in 2014 I'm starting a riot.

Keep being who you are, King K.! Keep up the hard work. And keep getting better how you always did!
I'm not the Grammy, but after the last album, I recognized Kendrick Lamar not just as an artist, but as an inspiration and as a person, as a human being, too. One of the greatest!
Igor Mendonca brasil
I love the fact that he's mad humble with it #kendricktheLegend
True role model of our time
I want to see King Kendrick win all of those 11 Grammys. Hard work.
I can’t believe it’s been 8 years since 2016 😭😭
This is why kendrick comes out on top, every damn time
Notification squad
lmao yooo
The GOAT Kdot
Are you here from that lying ass TikTok saying this is for the 2024 slap down he put on Drake?
Yes, I knew as soon as I saw the T.D.E hoodie since Kendrick isn’t with T.D.E. anymore
Fr I was like this hella old lmfao
DAMN I THOUGHT THIS WAS GONNA BE SOME FIRE, STILL A GREAT VIDEO THO
He so humble.
I pray that he wins allll 11 grammies. He definitely deserves it.
This reminds me of the cool interaction between my nephew. Morals and integrity are forgotten ethics. Thanks K. Dot
What a great message. That's all I can say
0:53 That's how artists get gassed up and start thinking their the biggest star in the sky. Then when their downfall comes...maaan...

No he isn't overrated. Drake is overrated.
People truly think he's overrated bro. I'm not the one saying he is, but people, a decent amount seem to. I think he's always been good, since training day, if work ethic makes you overrated then so be it. I like drake, but, yeah, overrated.

And that boy grew up to become babykeem
He's Baby Keem
how could you hate this men? just a incredible personality...
He gonna win AOTY Grammy! Thumbs up if you agree!
Kendrick man, you're an icon and my inspiration. A hero without a cape, you know? Your music keeps me moving, progressing, and aspiring for greater things. I can whole heartedly say that because of your music, I felt powerful enough to write and speak on issues that the black community is faced by, and I can proudly say that I have now performed at The Library of Congress, worked with the United Nations, performed for the ACLU, performed at Equity Summit, and many more things I could never have even dreamed of without your positive reinforcement. Thank man. Would love to get to talk to you or spit a poem or rap for you. That. That right there would be a dream come true.
11 Grammy nominations, hard work surely does pay off.
I keep putting this on repeat. It's short but it's inspirational too.
I swear if Kendrick don't win at least 3 Grammy's I'm gonna do something unnecessary
😂
He already has 2 Grammy awards for I
He has the most grammys out of all of 'em
+Karatemaster07 he has the most nominations but that doesn't mean he'll win them
If he doesn't win at least three Grammys, whatever you're going to do will become necessary.
So Much Love For Kendrick Hard Work Pays Off.
Notification is the real the MVP 🔥🔥...I thought it was a new song tho lol
what artist would take the time to make a video like this? a man with a message. a man with a purpose. a man of the people . he deserves every fucking award he's nominated for. now that kids is what Hip Hop is for. lift your streets up and help your community.
Baby keem came a long way
Is that baby Keem?
Ah, this gem resurfaced on my home page. Very glad it did too.
that’s baby keem right there
a melanated king teaching another melanated king. absolutely love this.
K.DOT the GOAT
God bless Kendrick bro, he was the first rapper that I ever listened to and fked wit since I was 4
we all really thought he was dropping a song 😂😂😂😂😂
this video is still dope AF
This man K.Dot better take home at least three Grammy Nominations. He deserves it more than anyone. One of the most hard working artists out there. TPAB the best album of the year IMO.
Never clicked a notification so fast in my life
Damn, I thought it was a new song. Disappointment sets in
+DynamicAllstarDuo still dope tho
Word, I gave the vid a like to show my support
This just makes you reflect on life been rockin with TDE since black hippy 1st started and Kendricks's teen music progress and hard work made this man who he is today
Screw Grammy nominations. To Pimp a Butterfly is more credible than the entire Grammys as an institution from its day of founding to the present.
+Sedrick Not that that's saying much. Justin Bieber is more credible than the Grammys.
This made me smile so much it's crazy lol..I can just feel big things coming from Kendrick soon. KING KENDRICK!!!
Thought it was a song i hope tpab gets a Grammy
King Kirin yeah hope it gets every nomination
He already has 2 Grammy awards for I
Kendrick is definitely going to be a rapper turned actor
🐐
One of the most influential albums of this decade. Amazing work Kendrick!! Came along way from making songs about Beyonce. Definitely one of my favorites along with Cole And Krit. HARD WORK !!!!!!
shame theres only a handful of rappers who send out a positive msg, ppl like kendrick don't come along often someone who has a good msg for the youth, then we have other rappers who are busy rapping about money bitches an drugs, while they sit in there penthouses counting there $$$, sending our youth down the wrong path. much love an respect to you kendrick keep doing what you do.
"I already know those words..." that was cute xD
You're and inspiration Kendrick! Humble hood kid, I wish more youth looked up to you and embraced your lyrics and message. To Pimp a Butterfly for rap album of the year!!
Plot twist: the kid is Baby Keem
i was just thinking that too!
Lmao it is, I had to research it
Kendrick is the greatest of our time to me cause I don't see no other rappers doin positive shit like Kendrick doin. And he the only rapper these days that thank God when he win awards.
Is this a response to the haters on his Grammy nominations?
+King Kirin his album was amazing but I don't know about easily being the best.
+King Kirin In particular Wale
Lupe.. *Cough cough..*
+eddieozil21 Bruh. Whose album was better?! TPAB was perfect.
+bulletfastspeed tpab was the best album in like 3 years +
This is what we need, positive influences for the youth. No hate, Love!
Congratulations, Kendrick Lamar!
Drake could never
Such a humble dude. The World could use a few million more of Him.
ALL GRAMMYS TO "#TPAB"
Nothing but a huge respect !
Really inspiring, we need more celebrities that act as role models.
THEY NOT LIKE US MANN
Hard work. A message from the realest negus alive.
They dont want you to have 11 nominations. #blessup
This was an era, damn, I miss this
Thought this was a song my speakers were about to blow
Kendrick is not just a musician, he's a leader - a strong one.
It's a 10 minute walk from Lafayette Rec to Bob's Cafe. What took you so long, Kendrick? #LAallday
+launderground Those girls have never walked that part of Wilshire in their lives.
+losangeleslovesyou That's what I was thinking 😂
Best rapper out, period.
watch the people that never fucked with TPAB act like they did.
So humble, he is, for sure, the greatest rapper of our generation.
Kendrick Not Winning One Grammy = Me Joining Isis. Who With Me Tho?
Lets get it bro
I wouldn't say join Isis, I'd rather assassinate Macklemore, Drake, Migos, & Future.
+Ramon Barrera Lol yeah
+Ramon Barrera Are Those Artists He Is Going Against? Or Artists You Don't Like Personally ?
seeing stuff like this pushes me to go harder in this music game. I truly respect K.dot, he is the change.
Real ones came here from the notification
me! :D
🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
Straight up dawg.
yup
Finally one of da real bruhh
kendrick just a great man. he deserves everything he gets and earns.
you know why we here 😂 2024 not like us baby
