DeadEndHipHop: To Pimp a Butterfly Review (Video)
April 1, 2015
So Kendrick Lamar’s latest album has dropped and it has created all kinds of discussion about “To Pimp A Butterfly”. Â Well our friends over at DeadEndHipHop have dropped their review on the album and it is one you want to check out. The guys Feefo, Kinge, Myke C-Town, Beezy, and Rod dissect the album and of course have conversations that lead them to a Dead End at times (pun intended). Â The thing about DEHH is these brothers don’t just deal with it on a surface level they back up their opinions and are okay with not always agreeing with each other. Â Glad to see that they are being recognized even Kendrick shouted them out on MTV check out the clip after the jump!

Yeezus: A Fan-Made Tour Film (Video)
December 9, 2014
How incredible is this?!?!? A fan-made video (uploaded by John Colandra) that takes the full essence and power of all the concert performances of the “Yeezus” Tour and put it into a two-hour compilation film! It’s like one seamless show with Kendrick Lamar as the opener. If you are Kanye West, you should watch and be amazed… maybe even shed a tear over the love you are getting from a fan like this. If you are not Kanye, hell you might shed a tear, too. Beautiful work!

Kendrick Lamar Speaking With DJ Whoo Kid On His Music, His Moves, His Take On Hip-Hop Today & More (Video)
November 15, 2014
On the mic, Kendrick’s spit game is unmatched…even on the radio. Promo stop to be certain, but take in the insights the young lion drops (along with news of what’s to come in his music/career)…
Kendrick Lamar stopped by The Whoolywood Shuffle promoting his latest single “i”. He speaks on traveling to St. Louis to gain Ron Isley’s permission for use of his “That Lady” sample. K. Dot also confirms George Clinton collaborations are underway.
There are also motivational gems contained within the interview. One being that Kendrick emphasizes the basis of challenging yourself. He said “Challenge yourself, and don’t take instances for granted.” “Whether it’s a 16, a hook, or 4 bars challenge yourself. And this is why Hip-Hop is at a point where creativity is stagnant, because artists aren’t challenging themselves.”

R&B: Mayer Hawthorne – “Crime” feat. Kendrick Lamar (Video)
September 30, 2014
Give this about a minute after clicking play to sink into your soul. Perfect melding of music (from Mayer Hawthorne) and the visual medium (directed by Rashida Jones, TV star and daughter of THE Quincy Jones). Pepper in a Kendrick Lamar verse and let it be. The perfect offering for the party… that is life. Your life!

Kendrick Lamar’s Home Sweet Home
June 4, 2014
Hey. Let’s go over Ken‘and’nem house for a minute. You know…Ken…Kendrick Lamar. Yeah, you can roll. But respect the man’s home though. It’s nice.
And by nice. I mean nice…and at a reasonable price. Imagine that: Rap putting the pause on rhymes about opulence and dreams of such. To most of us, “making it” is a nice home with a manageable mortgage we can eventually pay off. And we expect rappers to buy their moms houses, then ball out of control in a mansion (rented or, preferably, mortgaged). So, I was more than pleasantly surprised to see Hip-Hop’s Black Hippie really show some sense when dropping dollars and cents on a crib.
If only MTV ‘Cribs’ was around to show this house off. Situated on a 7800-square foot lot an hour east of Los Angeles (California, USA). Just a bit over a half million bucks to get. Flexing, but not too much.
Salute, Kendric Lamar. Real Hip-Hop. Real responsible with the cash while it’s flowing.

Kendrick Lamar: ‘Good Kid’ From The West Coast Tours The Far East (Video)
September 20, 2013
“…26 and getting to see Japan, Tokyo, and Hong Kong… and getting to do it with Dre… my album reaching platinum… I don’t take that for granted.”
– Kendrick Lamar
Kendrick has done some great interviews, and his first interview from Asian is another gem. On Beats By Dre’s Asia tour, the ‘Bob Dylan‘ of modern Hip-Hop shared first impressions in (of) the Far East and speaks on his gratefulness to tour with his idol Dr. Dre, humble appreciation to the fans for a million purchases (and counting) of his debut album “good kid, m.A.A.d city” and more.

Kendrick Lamar on Ice Cube’s Influence & Comparisons To Bob Dylan on ‘The Arsenio Hall Show’ (Video)
September 18, 2013
It’s kinda of wild to see Kendrick Lamar on The Arsenio Hall Show because when the show was poppin’ back in the 90s Kendrick was probably just a toddler. It’s rather special to see Arsenio Hall’s return to late night television & one of his first guests just so happens to be a ‘g.o.o.d. kid’ from the ‘m.a.a.d. city’ of Compton California. Check out video of his performance on the show with Schoolboy Q after the jump below….
Pusha T – “Nosetalgia” feat. Kendrick Lamar (Prod. By Nottz)
September 17, 2013
We already know that Pusha T is a beast lyrically, but adding Kendrick Lamar to a Nottz produced track is nothing short of greatness for true hip hop heads. This joint right here is a cotdayam banger!! If the Virginia emcee ‘King Push’ has more bangers like “Numbers On The Boards” & this joint right here on his upcoming album then I’m sure it could wind up being a classic. Check for Pusha T’s upcoming album “My Name Is My Name” due October 8th. This joint is ill!

Big Sean Has the Situation With Kendrick Lamar Under ‘Control’ (Video)
August 27, 2013
To be clear, Big Sean declares he is NOT a ‘hoe azz n!gga’ and that he and Kendrick are cool.
“That’s my dude… He called me… it’s cool that Hip-Hop can do that without it getting all violent… I loved my verse… I think Kendrick was going in, and I think Jay Elect was going in.”
Whether it started as a calculated maneuver, or Big Sean is taking “Control” of the situation that has come about, he could come out of this whole thing looking like the genius who orchestrated the return of legit verses and lyrical battles to modern Hip-Hop.
(Respect to the homie Big Dee on ATL’s The Remix Hip-Hop Show who I first heard on-air with this Big-Sean-Is-A-Genius perspective.)

R&B: Robin Thicke – “Give It 2 U” feat. 2 Chainz x Kendrick Lamar (Video)
August 26, 2013
Robin Thicke having more fun on the set. This “Give It 2 U” video is on the same vein as that “Blurred Lines” video (which we posted on here) – lotta a sexy (shout out to the Alabama State University Dancing ‘Stingettes’ featured in the video) mixed with a liberal amount of Hip-Hop. 2 Chainz and Kendrick Lamar rode along on this party track. Respect to director Diane Martel for another great vid: first, “Blurred Lines” and now this one!
