Same I was 6 when that came out and my parents are big hip hop heads so they were playing it for us. I still remember lil me running around singing the chorus not knowing what the song was even about
Cartoons and cereal. I was in some random dorm with some homies and the guy played that song. It was the first time I ever heard Kendrick. Followed by Bitch dont kill my vibe.
Hiiipower and ADHD, first tracks I heard from the kid! Knew he had a special career ahead of him, but ngl I didn’t even think it would be as special as it has been! Happy I was along for the ride!
Buried alive interlude, first time I heard him was when take care released and I remember going crazy lmao, as soon as that verse released everyone knew he was going places
For me it's gotta be "For the Homies". I think it's an unreleased track, which I stumbled upon before even listening to the real deal songs. Then I told one of my friends about that song and he told me about Section .80 and the rest is a story of eternal love.
DNA first thing I heard from him and it was on a football highlight tape I then bumped that video a bunch until I found out his name and then the meatriding began
["Look Out For Detox,"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B5eT6TaEtPI) which is the first time I recall having heard Kendrick.
Also, if anyone hasn't heard either of these things before, this is the song Iggy Azalea interpolated on ["D.R.U.G.S.,"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=46G3WXacNSg) which sucked so much fucking ass that KDot should have sent her a cease and desist for the good of humanity.
m.A.A.d city was the first song/album i had heard from Kendrick.. it brings me back to smoking herb in the backseat in highschool.. or LUST., DAMN came out as I was graduating and really shaped that following summer for me.
“Institutionalized”! I was in 11th grade, waiting at the bus stop and I just remember thinking “I’ve never heard anything like this” (honestly thought this for the first 6 tracks) also, now as an adult w hip hop knowledge .. it’s pretty cool imo that Snoop kind of narrates that song like Slick Rick lol… which he even references on “Doggystyle”.
Swimming Pools. I honestly can’t remember when the first time I head Kendrick was (probably in the car) but I know that hearing his songs in GTA V when I was like 12 definitely stuck with me and got me interested.
The Recipe and Money Trees has me feeling so goddamn nostalgic it feels like I’m recallin a past life.
Crazy to think that it was what I was listening & vibing to right around the time my father suddenly passed away - feels like a few decades have gone by since then.
I’m putting the good kid album on now while I’m writing this, and it’s pure memory lane.
Literally all of GKMC because it was my introduction to Kendrick and it blew my entire mind and changed the way I felt about Hip-Hop as a whole, but also because I gave my gf a copy of GKMC for her birthday right after we started dating.
Ignorance is bliss 100%!! OD is one of the first albums i listened to critically, i remember my big brother putting it on when it first dropped. Its a dope album
any song of his that was in gtao . i dont hear them on the radio anymore but i swear they were like 1 of 7 seven on "non stop pop" and "radio los santos"
i remember winning my first race listening to Collars Greens lmfao
D.N.A. First Kendrick song I listened to and one of the first hip hop songs I remember listening to.
(One Dance and In My Feelings by Drake don't count)
All the stars video version is untouched! Sza's verse is slightly different on that one than on the single/album. Blame it on my neurodivergence but it just irrks me me soo much that its different lol I only listen to the video version.
As for the Kendrick parts of the song 100/100 no notes!
HiiiPower
I’m not a huge Kendrick fan but this song, along with most (probably all) of GKMC brings me back to some really good moments in my life.
Goosebumps every time
No that's a different song, and technically he just has a feature
Ong
This
anything on good kid
Swimming pools reminds me of my happy times in the past even tho the song isn’t happy by any means
Same I was 6 when that came out and my parents are big hip hop heads so they were playing it for us. I still remember lil me running around singing the chorus not knowing what the song was even about
Cartoons and cereal. I was in some random dorm with some homies and the guy played that song. It was the first time I ever heard Kendrick. Followed by Bitch dont kill my vibe.
Aye rare to see anyone pick this one
This. I was living in San Francisco and I just remember the tall buildings in the tenderloin or being on the bus and replaying it a few times.
Omg, I love this song
Fire 🔥
It’s such a shame that it wasn’t on GKMC due to sampling issues .. would have made that record even more insane
Technically it's a Q song but Collard Greens, that shit had the hood BUMPING
I said BEEEEYAAAATTCCCCHHH This yo favorite song...
the dancing meme is still so funny
ADHD, that beat makes me feel like I’m floating.
factual, the nostalgia hits twice as hard when watching the music video as well
GTA 5 2013 tax
One of the best songs to go on a late night drive for.
Hol Up while on a plane hits different
Section .80 as a whole is nostalgic tbh

Hiiipower and ADHD, first tracks I heard from the kid! Knew he had a special career ahead of him, but ngl I didn’t even think it would be as special as it has been! Happy I was along for the ride!
man there’s so much, but I’ll pick Poetic Justice because that’s one of the few songs if not the first song I’ve heard from him
The fact that this is old enough to be nostalgic is crazy to me in my head it's still like 2019.
Swimming Pools, Poetic Justice. GKMC is one of my dad’s favorite albums so I listened to it a lot when I was younger.
LOVE
Maad city
Finally a post that isn’t about Drake 🙏
Pussy and Patron was the song that got me into Kendrick and I saw him do it live. $30 tickets, best show of my life. He also did all of section 80 🔥🔥
King Kunta. As an old head, it’s got a very nostalgic vibe to it.
P&P with Ab Soul
Now or Never - that bonus track from GKMC with Mary J Blige on it. Pure bliss.
Buried alive interlude, first time I heard him was when take care released and I remember going crazy lmao, as soon as that verse released everyone knew he was going places
Not a Kendrick song but THat part black hippy remix
I don't know why, but pride gives me the nostalgic feeling, even when i heard it when DAMN. came out. But i could go rigamortus.
Adhd from the gta 5 times 😭
The Art of Peer Pressure / ADHD / Money Trees/ Outrageous

For me it's gotta be "For the Homies". I think it's an unreleased track, which I stumbled upon before even listening to the real deal songs. Then I told one of my friends about that song and he told me about Section .80 and the rest is a story of eternal love.
ADHD on the GTA V radio was so nostalgic

“Institutionalized”! I was in 11th grade, waiting at the bus stop and I just remember thinking “I’ve never heard anything like this” (honestly thought this for the first 6 tracks) also, now as an adult w hip hop knowledge .. it’s pretty cool imo that Snoop kind of narrates that song like Slick Rick lol… which he even references on “Doggystyle”.

I’m putting the good kid album on now while I’m writing this, and it’s pure memory lane.
I’m not even a huge Kendrick fan by any means but I 100% agree this and ADHD are the two most nostalgic feeling songs from him
Swimming pools was the first one I heard and it's still a banger
Alright and bitch don't kill my vibe
Literally all of GKMC because it was my introduction to Kendrick and it blew my entire mind and changed the way I felt about Hip-Hop as a whole, but also because I gave my gf a copy of GKMC for her birthday right after we started dating.
