**** The black contacts were a dedication to Method Man and his Tical album that released 11/15/1994... This aired on 11/15/2014 at it's 20 year anniversary. These contacts were Method's signature look at that time - also worn for the cover photo for that album.****
This song is everything. I played it every morning before my kids went to 7th &9th grade. They amwere biracial in an almost all yt school. It wasn’t going great. It was the anthem of the year.
@@rike94 i think this performance is way more impressive, and expresses way more emotion. The way he Raps so fast for so long, constantly going up and down in his voice. Its very powerful.
omg his energy was off the roof ! 4:09 i wish the mic audio was more clear from this part to the end cause it wasn't in the original song, he was rapping rapping!
This was the performance that made me a fan. Crazy energy he poured for that, felt so raw and authentic. Wish I was able to recapture the feeling of watching this for the first time again.
I usually don't even like or prefer live performances over studio recordings but this is just like whole other unique song solely for the incredible performance. The band is awsome and Kendrick has so much rhythm. i can only admire the overall chemistry with Kendrick and the band 🙌🏼
I've been lookin' for you my whole life, appetite For this feeling I can barely describe, where you reside? In a woman, is it in money, or mankind? Something got me losing my mind Where you at? From the front to the back I'm lookin' for you, I react only when you react I thought I found you back in the ghetto When I was 17 with the .38 Special Maybe you're in a dollar bill, maybe you're not real Maybe only the wealthy get to know how you feel Maybe I'm paranoid, ha, maybe I don't need you anyway Don't lie to me, I'm suicidal anyday I could be your advocate I could speak for you if you tell me what the matter is I could preach for you with the mighty tongue I'm the one, how can I, overcome Negative energy while I give infinitely and survive?!
@@ravinathdevthe single version of this song was not nearly as good. he liked the added instrumentals and vocals in the chorus, the new verse in the end, and the fact the bass breakdown isn’t overlayed with annoying car honking sounds
I’ve only recently been getting into Kendrick and man… who is doing it like him man. The way he performs is just so unique and I could watch him all day. I really hope he tours soon so I can see him live
Drake saw this and was like "yup I can win against that "
😂😂
lmao
😂😂😂
But he didn't 😂 so what's the point of ur comment?? Lmao how stupid 🤣
Lol
I still contend this is the single greatest musical performance in the history of SNL. Gives me goosebumps.
I agree completely.
Nah John Mayer put up a way better performance
@@bluesyace9564 I cannot find an SNL performance of his on UA-cam
100%
system of a down playing BYOB is the only one i can think of thats better
drake and jcole will never touch this
Was thinking the same thing watching that, I would LOVE to see Drake watching this video immediately followed by one of his own live performances 😭
Jcole has some great Performances too. Just watch Be Free on David Letterman for example.

@@ideac.Kendrick ain't even close to pac if anything it's disrespectful to pac to be compared to him
album version, single version... THIS is the superior version of this song
this is the album version
@@thomasfrazer3405not exactly, it’s different
It’s sacred, that’s how it’s different
I love all versions. This is my favorite Kendrick song.
They should add this version to spotify
I will never switch up on kdot this nigga saved my life fr
Bro😭
@@summertime_magic what😭?
nah u real
❤
real 1
"I make music that electrify them."
Truly electrifying!!
The bass fill at 3:12 oh my god.
absolute perfection.
the entire band is locked the fuck in.
absolutely
slides like butter
Great tone
Followed by that part of the choir 🔥

Thanks for explaining that. This performance was epic. Can’t imagine seeing it back then 🤯
it’s not only the performance, but the words and the message he is sending out to the world hes a true artist

I have this performance tattooed in my soul.
You and I both🖤
Absolutely me too
The kind of energy this man spit out
W pfp
humongous W pfp
greatest hip hop performance of all time
Black Skinhead - Kanye, in SNL, is far superior.
@@rike94 kanye lol

@@f1st3r16j. Cole performance of Be Free🔥 I believe he performed om Letterman. I felt the emotion just as strong in different ways..💣
@@GrungeProd668hj 2:37 2:41
And I’m supposed to believe Drake and J Cole can even touch him
Kendrick was in a trance. He came back after the scream. Goated performance
This is Michael Jackson levels of greatness
omg his energy was off the roof !
4:09 i wish the mic audio was more clear from this part to the end cause it wasn't in the original song, he was rapping rapping!
Its from the end of momma, works insanely well here
@@tdo916 "one day at time , sun gon shine"
idk why I'm crying in the club rn
are you there with the homies though
This was the performance that made me a fan. Crazy energy he poured for that, felt so raw and authentic. Wish I was able to recapture the feeling of watching this for the first time again.
I love that he adds the very ending verse that fades at the end of momma it fits in so good true artist man
the passion this man has for his artistry is out of this world 🤯
Drake can never be this talented
Dudes literally a fallen angel. Theres genuine souls out here who are gifted, and there's no doubt he is one of them.
Fallen means demon, kicked out and banished
@@Heidi-nf9ipright I was confused by that comment,
@@Heidi-nf9iplets just imagine they mean that he's an angel gracing the earth
I didnt even know I loved this type of music this much....This is fire...
How he incorporated ODB's mannerisms into the performance and elevated the song is simply amazing. Might be my favorite live performance ever.
Genius. More talent in his pinky than the whole industry combined !
nah fr like drake think he can defeat this man
And this is LIVE
greatest hip hop performance of all time !!!! king kendrick🇧🇷🇧🇷
CAP 🧢
side by side with the performance at the 2016 Grammys. duas perfeitas
Zika ver que tem gente no meu país que reconhece o talento dessa lenda
@@pedrocalegari7768 o cara é outro nível mano
Brasil fechado com o mano kdot
DRAKE COULD FUCKIN NEVER!!!
Drake could never
I usually don't even like or prefer live performances over studio recordings but this is just like whole other unique song solely for the incredible performance.
The band is awsome and Kendrick has so much rhythm. i can only admire the overall chemistry with Kendrick and the band 🙌🏼
this is insane, this moves me just like Michael Jackson´s music did in my childhood, pure genuine and powerful art
What a performance... King Kendrick Lamar 👑
This part of my life, is called "Happiness"
My god, his energy on the tpab version of i was perfectly recreated in this performance
My favorite performance from him
definitely
I wanted to put this on in the background while I did work, but I couldnt look away, electrifying
The band was on fiyaahhhh...the bass and the drums are mad
need this version in streaming
kendrick is the best rapper to ever have lived and I cant see anyone better coming the next 50 plus years
Nah, hopefully more young rappers get motivated by him and turn the tides of the current state of hiphop.
このライブは最高 鳥肌がずーっと立ってる
Definitely one of the greatest performances by lyrical content and performance of all time
If I was in Lorne Michael's shoes I would say fck it, I'll pay any fine that comes if it means Kendrick can play uncensored. He's worth every penny
he really is on another level
Why is this sooo underated, this is my favorite kendrick song so I'm glad he did this live :D
That Part Towards The End Band Is Really Killin' It🤘
insane delivery towards the end. i kept playing over and over again.
I’ve been sleeping on Kendrick. This performance woke me up
This gives me chills… to witness genius in its purest form
Goddamn this the type of energy you need when performing
Holy mother of God. This brother is GOATED!
Yowwww…..the Chemistry between Kendrick and Rico transcends their even being brothers! This performance was unhinged ‼️‼️‼️🔥🔥🔥🔥
This Performance literally changed my life I'm not fucking kidding😭💗🔥
I've been lookin' for you my whole life, appetite For this feeling I can barely describe, where you reside? In a woman, is it in money, or mankind? Something got me losing my mind Where you at? From the front to the back I'm lookin' for you, I react only when you react I thought I found you back in the ghetto When I was 17 with the .38 Special Maybe you're in a dollar bill, maybe you're not real Maybe only the wealthy get to know how you feel Maybe I'm paranoid, ha, maybe I don't need you anyway Don't lie to me, I'm suicidal anyday I could be your advocate I could speak for you if you tell me what the matter is I could preach for you with the mighty tongue I'm the one, how can I, overcome Negative energy while I give infinitely and survive?!
One of the best live performances I've seen, if the not, THE best
he's the best to ever do it. full stop.
Performance 10/10
Truly an artist that digs deep inside himself!!!!
Dunkey was right
What'd Dunkey say
he was so real for this
What he said?
@@ravinathdevthe single version of this song was not nearly as good. he liked the added instrumentals and vocals in the chorus, the new verse in the end, and the fact the bass breakdown isn’t overlayed with annoying car honking sounds
@@booksmaxxing which video
never gets old
Some notes are literally punching him in the face and stomach. He's so intense, amazing! 🔥
“I been looking for you my whole life” 💖
Fucking bass rapping with Kendrick!
Drake needs to apologize to the whole world for wasting our time trying to come against this beast.
3:36 my g said chicken wing?
