“You better make me look amazing with this new record” Kendrick: Drops the best album of the decade
@TheSpaceInvaderer 7 years ago

I think it's hilarious that after hearing "i" people were scared Kendrick was gonna turn pop, and then he dropped TPAB.

note how when kendrick is answering questions even if the question came from the guy on the right he will keep turning his head to make sure both people are included. Kendrick just has so much respect

The song "i" literally changed my life. I made bold decisions just because I was inspired by the song and I'm more confident because of it. Fucking love Kendrick man.

I think Kendrick music is worth the buy. Probably the only cd I will purchase this year. He deserves it. He is so organic and beautiful.

"To Pimp a Butterfly" is a work of art! He has changed the game!

There are many reasons but the main reason I love and respect Kendrick as an artist is the fact that he really doesn't care about labels or what others think he is/should be. He's just making the records he wants; no matter how it turns out critically/popularly.

I love how humble Kendrick Lamar is and how the Fame didn't get to his "head" this is how every artist should strive to be.

The way he talks is like he's writing lyrics in his mind.
