Don't know if your referring to Kendrick's parents or not but if you are they are from Chicago...

And Chi cats be sounding country as hell with the Mississippi and Alabama roots....

He had his hat cocked to the right and everything

But if you look at videos from the 80s/90s most l.a. dudes still did have more of a southern twang compared to l.a. dudes today.

Yea I was just about to say he used this footage on a screen when I saw him live at One Music Fest in 2014.

Atlanta show?

A month before the LA riots. I wonder what was Kendrick and his family doing at the time of it?

I was in LA at the time.On a 108th.Right next to Compton Avenue Elementary.There was a lil corner market right there.Owned by some older Asian guy.We used to call it "Mr.Lee's"...Pops pulled up one night with Mr.Lee's store in the back of a moving truck.We turned the crib into a candy house

I think we had just moved to Mission Bend, TX, and I was finishing 1st grade at Petrosky, waiting for Summer to start.

Not quite as , but still pretty considering it’s 2025 now
