[Video] Kendrick Lamar Hears Jay-Z's Verse On "Bitch Don't Kill My Vibe" For The First Time

Even a lyricist as amazing as Kendrick Lamar knows how humbling a guest verse from Jay-Z is. So when his TDE boss Top Dawg surprised him with Hov's verse for the "Bitch, Don't Kill My Vibe" remix at the end of February during a ScHoolboy Q session for Oxymoron, seeing him light up is priceless.

[Music Video] Kendrick Lamar ft. Drake - "Poetic Justice"

"Poetic Justice" may be the most commercial/radio friendly track on good kid, m.A.A.d city, but leave it to Kendrick Lamar and his TDE family to take the record to a deeper level with powerful visuals. Watch the video below as Drake is ignorant to the tragedy that just hit his Club Paradise Tour peer.

[Video] Terrace Martin - Making Of Kendrick Lamar's "Real" (Episode 1)

In a new mini series from APluzFilms, producer, emcee and instrumentalist Terrace Martin dissects his experience creating "Real" from good kid, m.A.A.d city. The song is definitely a favorite of mine, thanks to its lighthearted sound paired with a strong message.

A musical genius in his own right, Terrace gives a lot of credit to the mind of Kendrick Lamar who was not only responsible for his verses but for a lot of the melodies included in the production. Watch Part 1 of the interview below, and look for the next installment to hit the net next week.



In the meantime, Terrace's 3ChordFold is still in the works... get ready!

[Music Video] Kendrick Lamar - Backseat Freestyle

Kendrick Lamar's good kid m.A.A.d city is already gold, and just 420 K from platinum. While his singles "Swimming Pools" and "Poetic Justice" are on the radio about every 20 minutes (ecstatic about this!), he keeps the momentum going by dropping the visuals to the Hit-Boy produced "Backseat Freestyle."

Meet the family and the notorious Sherane (well an actress playing her) below, and be sure to hit the jump for Life + Times' latest Decoded episode where Kendrick explains the story behind my favorite track on the album "Sing About Me, I'm Dying of Thirst."
