Mar 17, 2015 SImple question. How did you discover this real artist who goes by the name of Kendrick Lamar? Me, I was in a store, never heard s--- about Kendrick and I saw his album GKMC, i liked the cover, so I buy it. Greatest decision ever. Sorry, if a thread like this was already created.
Mar 17, 2015 yikes, it was kinda impossible to not know him after gkmc. I knew him after he released Section 80 and i started f---in with the whole TDE camp at that point.
Mar 17, 2015 I think I stumbled over HiiiPower on youtube in like late 2011. Then bought Section80 and that was surely enough to make me a fan.
Mar 17, 2015 Never heard of him, then @JayTey told me about him few years back and since then been a fan.
Mar 17, 2015 Was watching some videos on youtube and ADHD popped up at recommended. That's the first time I listened to Kendrick and I was a fan after the first verse.
Mar 17, 2015 I heard some news about 'The Recipe' video and then i just heard the song. So i listened to his older things and then GKMC and that's it. It's funny that video is still not released lol.
Mar 17, 2015 a friend told me about him when gkmc was released and i didn't take to him straight away took me a while to get used to his voice
Mar 17, 2015 First heard him on Games Black Wallstreet Journal vol 1..then again on a tech n9ne song. My first project from him was his section 80 album
Mar 17, 2015 First discovered Kendrick on The Game's 'The City' track off of R.E.D. when he completely murdered him on it.
Mar 17, 2015 This is basicly the extact same as "how did you get into kendrick" thread http://forum.sectioneighty.com/how-did-you-get-into-kendrick-lamar.t28583/page-2
Mar 17, 2015 Homie told me for months to listen to Section 80... ADHD got me..... His videos and his unique style of lyricism had me
Mar 17, 2015 everyone on s80 wasy hyping him when i joined i listened to gkmc twice,i wasnt hooked,koolo told me to listen to it a few more times and for some reason i was determined to like kendrick so i listened like 3 more times and realised hes prolly the best rapper alive rn
Mar 17, 2015 I might add the first time I heard kendrick I thought he was trash. It was the Monster Freestyle. The way he was spazzing with his voice I didn't like at first. Never peeped him again until my homie was talking about section 80.
Mar 17, 2015 I'll be the first to admit, never heard of him until Em said "shout out to Kendrick!" and the Love Game track. To be fair, I didn't really follow any hip hop news or releases or visit any forums from 2010-2013ish
