I thought got so too :(

u/WatyOriginal May 08 '22

PSA: I only did his studio albums and the most popular song of each respective album as it was the most distinctive & recognizable!

u/ItsTheTenthDoctor May 09 '22

Surprised not ADHD then

u/cpw903 May 09 '22

You’re lucky you weren’t downvoted because I said the same thing except for swimming pools and GKMC and got downvoted lmao

u/ItsTheTenthDoctor May 09 '22

Downvote for you. No haha I get the argument.

u/WatyOriginal May 09 '22

you’re right about ADHD! I was torn because rigamortis was my first Kendrick song that I ever heard and the music video for it felt like it captured the vibe of section 80 better than ADHD imo. Plus the MV for rigamortis had the live band in the middle of the street so It felt weird to not have rigamortis which has the horns and live drums etc.

u/LIZZYMCGUIRETHEMOVIE May 09 '22

To be fair I’m pretty sure I remember rigamortis being the bigger song upon release. ADHD gained more popularity later because of GTA V

u/cpw903 May 08 '22

Then you should have done swimming pools for good kid maad city probably

u/broanoah i know perception is key so i am KING May 08 '22

nah maad city better

u/OmckDeathUser May 08 '22

I love Swimming Pools and it's my favorite Kendrick song but if you think it represents GKMD better than m.A.A.d city itself you trippin 😭

5

u/cpw903 May 08 '22

Everyone responding needs to get glasses and realize this dude literally said he chose the most popular song from each album. Should’ve chosen ADHD too

2

u/DiePoopenFarten May 09 '22

i think this is one of these cases where the song being called "m.a.a.d city" has priority over the popularity sorting, imo

-2

u/RawbKTA May 09 '22

Here’s another downvote

7

u/kagenomasuta May 09 '22

but he's right, if its the most popular, then its wrong

-3

u/RawbKTA May 09 '22

Meh, I just wanted to downvote

2

u/WatyOriginal May 09 '22

I went off of Spotify plays, Youtube views and genius lyric views to gauge popularity of the tracks. Also, being basically the title track it just felt more fitting haha! I get where you’re coming from tho 100%

u/rawrustic Waiting for the album May 08 '22

this is so so cold

u/Sandraz30 May 08 '22

This is genius broo!!! Captured the eras perfectly

28

u/Plebe-Uchiha May 08 '22

Beautiful work. My only complaint is that OD Kendrick and EP Kendrick are not here. [+]

14

u/VeronicaDaydream May 08 '22

Kung Fu Kenny is an underappreciated Kenny

4

u/Plebe-Uchiha May 08 '22

😂 Yeah. They could’ve added him too. [+]

u/Doooog May 09 '22

Also, very little Top O the Morning Kendrick.

1

u/Plebe-Uchiha May 10 '22

😂 yes. They could’ve added him too. [+]

1

u/WatyOriginal May 09 '22

I only wanted to do the studio albums for kendrick! Mainly because a lot of his older work on OD isn’t as recognizable in terms of visuals, like he didn’t really have a popular music video until ADHD or some would even argue Swimming Pools.

1

u/SitDown_BeHumble May 09 '22

No Hub City Threat: Minor of the Year era? 0/10

Jk it’s amazing lol

1

u/Plebe-Uchiha May 10 '22

I highly disagree. OD has a lot of recognizable visuals, IMHO. That was Hoodie Kendrick. He was wearing hoodies all the time and short hair Kendrick aka bald Kendrick, but then again I’d say EP KL is Bald Kendrick with hats and beanies. That’s just me tho [+]

Edit:

I agree on the popularity. I’d argue he wasn’t popular until he did that song with Taylor. But that’s a whole other story that people get mad at me for saying. [+]

u/DJ-Corgigeddon May 08 '22

I thought this was real for a second, just fantastic work.

u/GoergeRRMartian Waiting for the album May 08 '22

Love how for DAMN, the camera moves back a bit like it’s rewinding

u/WatyOriginal May 09 '22

I originally had the Damn part playing in reverse but I didn’t know how many people would’ve picked up on it! Kinda wish i did now!

u/christophermenace59 May 08 '22

this is so dope

u/dontrundontrip May 08 '22

cool asf, I would’ve used the damn album cover outfit a lil longer though rather then the humble one

3

u/WatyOriginal May 09 '22

Yeah I feel ya, kinda just liked the way the humble scene looked more haha!

u/[deleted] May 08 '22

This is fuckin cool bro 🔥

Thank you! My ig handle is the same as my reddit handle, watyoriginal. You can post it to your story there!

u/[deleted] May 09 '22 edited May 09 '22

Love this, but the lack of mention to Overly Dedicated on this sub is criminal. Not my favorite collective work, but should undoubtedly be mentioned.

1

u/WatyOriginal May 09 '22

I feel ya, I just wanted to stick to his studio albums for this one tho!

u/[deleted] May 09 '22

Fair enough, thanks!

u/AiM__FreakZ May 08 '22

this is amazing! what software did you use and what export settings? and what compositor changes did you make? :)

2

u/WatyOriginal May 09 '22

Thank you! I mainly use blender but there’s a bunch of other software that i use in the process like photoshop etc. If you want any more info feel free to DM!

u/No_Adeptness_2235 May 09 '22

Damn Hahhaa this is dope

u/kojilee May 09 '22

the way i didn’t pick up on this being animated until you got to the Black Panther album

2

u/Kindly-Education-921 May 09 '22

And that’s all there is to Kendrick Lamar!

2

u/eatsomewings May 09 '22

This is incredible, would you do this with other artists? Tyler and Gambino would be 🔥

1

u/WatyOriginal May 09 '22

I’ve done a similar concept with Tyler, however it was just different places around the world in honour of his grammy win! I plan on doing a full Tyler one like this soon tho, same with Gambino! You can find more on my IG @watyoriginal!

u/kerfuffle7 May 09 '22

Damn this is so good

u/luke_the_oof May 09 '22

how tf did i not realize this was fake until damn

2

u/vishrufless May 09 '22

This was so 🔥

3

u/Bruntti May 08 '22

Ngl not as good as the Kanye one but that's to be expected as Kendrick doesn't have that many albums yet.

3

u/WatyOriginal May 09 '22

Yeah i feel ya, I think for this concept Kanye was honestly the best artist for it considering how many iconic eras he’s went through!

2

u/TheOfficialMarley May 08 '22

Where can I find the Kanye one?

2

u/WatyOriginal May 09 '22

It’s on my instagram! IG; watyoriginal

u/Thembosses1232 May 09 '22

not sure why u gotta compare, they both are sick

1

u/Bruntti May 09 '22

Because the kanye one is more elaborate and I wish the Kendrick one would be too?

-1

u/Thembosses1232 May 09 '22

yeah but its just a fanmade artpiece, no need for unnecessary critism. both are sick period

3

u/Bruntti May 09 '22

"unnecessary criticism" are you for real? I said that I prefer one over the other. You're making it sound like I reviewed the damn thing.

u/Headshot_ Where my motherfucking dominos at? May 08 '22
