    Game kept everyone waiting for the video to his K-Dot collab, but director Matt Alonzo made sure it was worth the wait.

    1. I love to see young rappers murder these tired old rappers on their own shit. Oh man… it’s beautiful

      1. Will say this about Kendrick in 10 years time. You also probably said it about Game when he came out.

    2. actually game hasn’t really had much of a career to fully fit the tired category but his music does suck ass though. I saw you on cnn lookin all dumb and shit

    3. Game is hard! He might act like a baffoon sometimes, but when it comes to this rap shit, he’s a beast!

      1. because Game doesnt sing to hoes abut how to love in marvins room in paris

        and he doesnt wear uggs or wait till 45 to have his first child lmaooo

    4. Game is TRASH!!!..Don’t support ppl that r not LOYAL..& If LA is the BEST YR y’all moving to TEXAS????…#BROKE

    5. Why does anyone let Kendrick guest on their tracks? He’s basically guaranteed to show up anyone else on there.

    6. First off, numbers do lie Game. When it comes to album sales, numbers are usually ass-backward. Second, Kendrick is in a whole nother league here and always.

    7. Why cant every song be like this….I just hope kendrick gets real production and still spits fire. I hate when labels slowguys like him down. Comeon labels….give them the beat but allow them to use their lyrics

    8. Too hate 4 Game.. too much.. he is one of the best.. ok kendrik is cool..but Game is Game.. you know..don’t forget who is Game.. I Think Game is one of the best from the West.. maybe the one right now.. He is the only rapper that is really doing HIP HOP!!

      1. Real talk.. I don’t know why everybody be hatin on Game.. In my opinion The City gotta be the best song after Ricky..

      1. Whoa whoa whoa there, slow down, the song is top 20-25, Ricky is probably top 10, but barely, but not The City,lol, its like top 25, maybe in that 15-20 area

    9. Game was hot back in tha day but now he aint as sexy as Lil Wayne. this nigga has no swag & wears unfashionable clothes… & tha nigga is fat, aint a model type nigga. ….. & this Kendruck dude? this hobit thinks he iz sexy? GTFO! you aint hot. you aint tall like Drake. & your clothes reminds me of tha 90s. get a stylist u swagless punk ass niggas. YMCMB. swag

      1. honestly, idk what to say about this, i you said nothing about the music, you are just saying that they dont look good in your homosexual eyes

    10. great video and Kendrick is crazy nice. not often we see videos like this anymore. game does always keep it real, regardless of what the haters say.

    11. We know we don’t want Game on this shit. We already know everything he’s gonna fucking say, and worse; we know how he’s gonna fucking say…

      STILL 5

    12. Game is a dope emcee. Awesome song, dope video. Kendrick was dope as usual. Two of the best from the West. 5*

    13. Perfect 5.
      One of the hardest rapper, last year’s rookie and the best music video producer.
      Game, Kendrick and Matt, obviously it’s a 5.

    14. Good shit Kendrick, kids pen game is filthy. Not sure who that other guy is in the video, where that butterfly tat n tounge ring? Jayceon Taylor u ain’t no MC ur a chump ask around on Crenshaw, better yet we can ask your cuzo he know right??

      1. im from the 303 also..thats lakewood co..not the hood and people around here don’t act like that. what the fuck would you know about crenshaw lol don’t try to act like you know things you don’t know about and pretend to be something you’re not…good lord hahaha

      2. what do you mean ask around?ask who?there is always some loser ass nigga who will cosign that the next nigga aint shit.Who cares how “real”Game is,if hes wack and we KNOW him…then what are you?

      3. @Jake, lol HERB. I’m not trying to be nothing, I know where I’m from. GOT NEWS FOR YOU, I had a boy out in Compton who LIVES there whom I visited round 2000-2001, n I can VOUCHE that this fucking guy is a LAME, period, my boy worked at the mixtape shop Game used to go into all the time before he blew. Remember that little line about “them same red sweats?” yea, he did that for real. I’m not saying I know the guy, but I was in the area where him and his cousin ran around at, and guess what? HE DON’T HAVE CRED like that, with that said, I CANNOT APPRECIATE n MC who writes the things he writes and take heed to it, the guy was on CHANGE OF HEART, both you Lil men need to sit down n save face, I’m alotted my two cents n I think the guy got his fucking tip on n his ass is a flame, fuck outta here with your “ideas” bout what I think fuck boy, ONE. oh n btw I’m originally from Jerz n yes I live in Denver. Now, run along n go play that RED tape u lame.

      4. @Guerilla Jones, it MATTERS in hip hop “who” you are, it’s an ART form that some use to paint the picture of their life, struggle, upcomgs, downfalls, etc. SO with that said it matters. I can’t listen to Ross talk about slanting birds cause why? WE KNOW HE DIDN’T DO IT. Game, same thing, who you kill? You run with Pyru? When? Gunna tell me guy been banging? Yes right round the time he was on that dating show, lol. You “fans” get upset when someone drip they two cents, I don’t like the guy, the only reason I clicked on the page was cause of K DOT, so I guess this makes me a “loser” because Im speaking the truth about Game? Cmon man, how old are you when you don’t care if someone’s “real” when they rap, that’s the problem with the culture because WE just give passes all around, but don’t mind me homie keep kicking rocks n if I’m that lame, don’t respond, save that energy. U made yourself look stupid. OUT.

    15. damn im speechless after kendricks acapella flow damn
      kendrick is real hip hop if you disagree then your probably a hipster that listens to ymcmb all day

      1. God, you’re an idiot. Do you even know what a hipster is? A hipster would not listen to YMCMB>.Dumbass.

    16. This shit is two raw…fuck you ymcmb fags who think hip hop is based on popularity and for ou Rick Ross fans , you do know he is not lyrical right?

      1. ross cant go 2 verses without mentioning a watch or a car or some girl he fucked,lol

        Aftermath is the Greatest label of all time:

        Em,50,Game

        enough said

    17. ya’ll crazy. Game is so underrated and Kendrick is the next to blow on the west. 4th album, no 5 mic’s then let em hate!! Hatin’ ass niggas.

      1. not sure Game’s underrated tbh. Don’t get me wrong he’s in my top 10 but I don’t think anyone underrates him. I think people know how good he is.

    18. video took this song to a whole other level…
      Game definitely killed this and Kendrick went into a black hole… that lil nigga got next. 5 stars easy.

    19. gayme this doesn’t make u anymore tough.instead, its pretty annoying. kendrick is formal that dude tho

    20. Kendrick Lamar is the only good thing about this song. I do not care for Game anymore, He’s preaching like he’s the best in the west but he’s far from it.

      1. Yeah Crooked I is better then game but Crooked I been rapping for like 50 years and still doesn’t have an album, so you gotta put game above him on your listen just because game has 4 albums out. Now if Crooked I were to drop a couple albums and he actually tried his hardest then definatly put him above game.

    21. Kendrick could rap stupid shit if he really wanted and it would still sound like he sayin something. Thats how good that dude brings it in terms of just flow and energy and it all.
      That said great video. Game still got it and I hope his next album continues like red came.

    22. Been waiting for this vid. Now I see why it took so much time. Quality. Great fuckin vid. Big directors like hype and all them are done. Technology
      Killed the vid director

    23. Kdot goes in and the video goes hard, the whole energy in this song is ridiculous. game ain’t bad either. kendrick’s gonna be around for quite a while

    24. damn i’m still listening to this dude’s lyrics, game in particular, he is still shouting out dre. but he is still coming harder and harder everytime…eazy e and pac is who he is talking about. man this is good

    25. This shit is tuff. Game went in Bar for bar. I like his tone. K.Lamar a beast. Good for music.

      check me out at rellmuzik.com just dropped my new tape.

    26. Its tight but I wish Game could write a song without name dropping. Kendrick made this song what it is.

      1. I don’t know I sometimes put Jay in the top 5… could be replaced with Rakim or Kane or Eminem (actually replace himself with Eminem)

    27. Everybody talks about game name dropping but nobody nevers says anything about the great Eminmen name dropping in his earlier music…smh. Plus Eminmem never battle anybody or had beef with anybody of substance…never. I mean the only people he battle was wanna be rappers like Benzino and Pop acts and Mariah Carey…smhh…yall put him on a pedestal for what I dont know…yea his first three albums was dope but after that he fell off hard. I will take Nas best three albums anytime over EM best three. Illimatic, It was written and Stillmatic were dope and if you want to throw a 4th one in there distant relatives was something different and refreshing…thats fact. Big Krit last three mixtapes have been better than em’s last three albums and thats fact.

      1. Big K.R.I.T. is a genius tho, he’s just being creative as fuck which is something that the rap game is lacking these days. He’s on his “Andre 3000 -The Love Below” shit so whatever.

        I would take Nas’ top 4 over Any Em record, but Distant Relatives was almost more of Damian Marley’s baby than it was Nas’, considering he handled 90% of that albums production and spit just as many bars if not more than Nas throughout the album. Tho I fuckin loved that shit with a few exceptions, it was a hella dope cd. But God’s Son had some extremely killer songs on it, “Get Down”, “Made Ya Look”, and “Revolutionary Warfare”. Fuck Em himself produced “The Cross” off of that album.

        But if you wanna talk about Eminem battling somebody with substance and what not, what about Eyedea (R.I.P.) from Eyedea & Abilities? They use to do freestyle battles at different underground competitions pretty regularly, and Eyedea was an incredible lyricist..

        The Game “Name-Dropping” is like a run-on joke because Tyler The Creator pointed it out on a single and now everybody notices a lot more, people need to get off that shit. Name dropping is acceptable if your paying homage, not if your just trying to let other people know that you listen to some good shit or whatever. And at least when Game namedrops its more than likely done in style:

        “I seen Boyz in the Hood, Morris Chestnut was a actor, 2Pac was the real life Ricky. Then they shot down the nigga that shot him, I swear to God, If I’m lying then Compton is New York and I’m Rakim. I’m from where niggas get murdered over stock rims and punched in the jaw just for a cocked brim” Ricky – The Game

      2. yeah ok, do you know WHY Eminem battled those people? you talkin like he was going at easy targets.. which is bullshit. he had legitimate reasons. Em lost it when Benzino mentioned Hallie’s name and I think he had a thing with Mariah

        he’s not gonna pop off at the mouth at some random rapper dissing him off. cause in the 00s, he was makin that paper and every nigga that dissed him, lyrically talented or not came across as a petty motherfucker who seemed jealous of Em’s white-ass rise. Eminem didn’t need to battle any of em, the machine surrouding him career did the job for him.

        he fought for things that mattered, not for looking good and getting cheering niggas’ titties off…

    28. This video has been done a 1000 times already the concept sucks game dont know he is nothing but a mixtape artist again he will figure it out soon

      1. Agreed…shit half of Game’s songs alone are about LA and bein a blood.

        Heres the outline of every Game verse:

        Tell the people about-

        Smokin Chronic
        Riding a 64 on daytons
        Rolling thru Compton
        With Red Rags on
        Throwin up the west side

        Than talk about wearing some Jays and bein the best the west ever made

    29. i dont know what you take me four i got mighty four im sure im on for war like the army i win another garmiy exulcdiny i see the explationsy its all good you actting im sacctting it you ready to come to north i get moere money hahahah coast i see you up the lapostay i see what you want on for roast

    30. kendrick lamar the realist in the game…ain’t even close toll talib kweli and yasiin bey drop their mixtape

      1. I would Co-Sign that statement if you asked me and Cube was in the room. Dude hasn’t released a bad cd and has always been real as fuck. Shit I got high for the first time because the dude wrote the movie Friday…

    31. i respect D GAME…..but he left EMs name out…dats bullshit..if numbas dont lie den EM is unarguably top3

      1. 500 rappers claim top five, but four hundred ninety five jus lie

        Pac, BIG, Nas, Jay, Scarface—when any of these other guys last 20 years and still bring heat than we can start talking, but as far as Im concerned the top five stays just like that

      2. Yes hes top 5, but because of skill, consistency, creativity, and versatility, not sales….. #1 most likely. Now Game on the other hand should be nowhere near a top 5 list, can’t believe he put himself at #1…

      3. @490717- Scarface doesn’t bring heat anymore. He used to be great, but his newer work is not top 5 artist worthy. Pac and Big are obvious top 5 artists but they haven’t lasted for 20 years and still brought heat– who knows where they would be today if they were still alive. Jay has been around for about 15 years, and still spits ok, but is also a huge sell out in many ways. It’s a good top 5, but don’t say they’ve all been hot for 20 years. Nas is the only one who fits the criteria, and hes had a few spots in between where he wasnt rapping like an all time greatest mc at all. (Like Nastradamus).

    32. I don’t know about that “top 5” shit Game’s talking… I just can’t get into him.

      And those embarrassingly bad CG effects during the drive by? SMH…

      Kendrick always brings it.

    33. i love this song; just when it started to fade away from my mind this dope ass video came out. solid. kendrick makes anything he touches turn to gold…

    34. Game sounded retarded, a kid would be able to write these kind of rhymes. Probably worst outshining of all time.

    35. Great production. Great chorus from Kendrick Lamar. Even better verse at the end. I love the sound, the feeling.
      BUT: WTF has happened to Game’s verse? That was damn horrible! Damn, it hurts to hear this verse next Lamar and this beat.

    36. Yo..People that sucks cock of Kendrik, Meek .. ora Drake, Lil Wayne, and all that other GAY HIP HOP.. cmon.. look to Hip Hop seriously.. look who is doing real hiphop.. stop hatin for a second and think… WHO Got the Hip HOP FLOW, PRODUCTION and ATTITUDe??? cmon man.. i can appreciate Kendrik.. for a while Slim tha Mobster & Jay Rock… but right NOW all “rappers” AREn’t rappers..are CLOWNS. cmon.. it’s a fuckin bulishit hatin on GAME.. He is just tryin to do the same good hip hop… hate on them fags that do GAY HIPHOP.. ora like william..ahaha.. shit.. just think about this.

    37. The crazy thing is most people don’t remember when Game came through from out of nowhere and took the whole game by storm. First two albums were crazy, and LAX wasn’t as bad as some like to say. A lot of what he says on this track is true. If it wasn’t for 50’s jealousy and Game’s immaturity he may very well have ended up near that top 5. Good to hear Kendrick go this hard on a significant track by Game. This was good hip hop.

      1. it was only in 2005 not 1985 and he didnt “come from out of nowhere” it is well DOCUMENTED how game was on interscope for 2 years before he jumped on the g-unit wave.dont get your facts twisted the only reason game was on g-unit was so 50 could get paid it was not no buddy buddy shit they did game album in 9 days.After the documentry how many tracks have dr dre produced for game? 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 bwhahhwwha

    38. what kendrick did for game and drakes albums is major. dropping those verses co-signing bigger artist before he even releases his own album. The Game came with it too and the video represented the song perfectly.

    39. its funny how people say kendrick killed Game on this shit just because he didnt have to use 1000 metaphors to get his point across

      yall are clowns

      i guess Game needed more punchlines and metaphors, then you would give him respect?

      LOL

    40. GAME HAS’NT HAD A BANG’N ALBUM SINCE DOCTOR ADVOCATE…THE RED ALBUM WAS BOO BOO..HOW ARE YOU GOING TO HAVE AN ALBUM CALLED THE RED ALBUM WHICH WAS DJ QUIK FIRST UNDERGROUND MIXTAPE AND U NOT HAVE QUIK ON THE ALBUM, WHERES THE RELATIVEZ? JAY ROCK? MESSY MARV THESE ARE REPTIBLE BLOODS AND YOU GET LIL WAYNE…COME ON DAMU!!
      KENDRICK AND TYLOR THE CREATOR WAS THE HIGH LIGHT OF THE ALBUM… TDE/ HII POWER AND NIPSEY HUSSLE ARE THE WEST NOW
