Kendrick Lamar reminiscing on The Arsenio Hall Show

In a appearance on The Arsenio Hall Show, Kendrick Lamar reminisced seeing Dr. Dre and Tupac when they filmed the music video for "California Love" in his neighborhood. “It was almost live because he was shooting a video on Rosecrans in Compton with Dre for the original ‘California Love’ video,” Kendrick said. “I actually got to see him perform just a little bit before they shut that shit down…before it got too crazy.” 

Years later, he said, he was in the studio with Dre and brought up the scene "Dre remembered all the little kids," Lamar told Hall. "And I told him, I was one of them little kids."
