How Kendrick Lamar Became The Greatest Rapper Alive

This aged well

Meet the Grahams🙇🏾‍♂️

Kendrick is easily the best of his generation. Drake makes good music, J Cole makes good music, but Kendrick is on a whole different level. I'm glad I'm alive to witness his art

I feel I like am watching one of those HBO documentaries of the fighter before the big match😂

aged like fine 900 YR OLD WINE!

man i feel 100% the same about learning to like full albums. me and the boys listened to section.80 on repeat for a while, absolute banger

I think people really don’t realise how great the GKMC- TPAB-DAMN run is. To put back to back classics like that is scary.

Kendrick’s ability to repeatedly reinvent his sound without sacrificing his artistic integrity is truly impressive and a rare occurrence in music today.

no album could ever pull me into and then out of my depression like mr morale and the big steppers did. when it came out, i felt like it was almost made for me, the subject matter and songs fit very well with where i was in my life. rediscovering childhood traumas and letting deep-seated shit boil over until i almost unalived. then i had to relearn to love myself, forgive myself, 100 times. i wanted to add that this climbing the mountain analogy has really reframed how i view not only the world but also my life as a whole. thank you for that.

10:23 He became a different animal And the same beast

that transition into TPAB was hilarious

In this age of TikTok's, Kendrick is like almost single-handedly keeping full albums relevant.

The fact that Kendrick quoted the rapper that inspired him to really take rapping serious makes the line hit even harder

I saw people on Twitter arguing that Drake is a better lyricist today lmao

They not like us - Kendrick Lamar

I’ve never though of DAMN backwards that way, where Geraldo is misrepresenting his legacy, now imma listen to the album again

Illmatic and TPAB are the greatest albums I’ve ever heard but I won’t lie the first time I heard TPAB I said “wtf is this bs” then I listened to the themes, his personal struggle the Jazz elements, survivors guilt, Perfect

and if we do get a proper response diss from Kendrick then it's gonna be legendary bro is a prophet

As a speedcuber and a hip hop fan I never expected my two worlds to collide like this

This video single handedly got me to listen to Kendrick Lamar’s whole discography at the perfect time, before any of the him and Drake diss tracks dropped. I also found out about and got into “I Think You Should Leave” because of your video on it, so thanks.
