      There's a reason so many people consider him to be the GOAT. If he wanted to be a popstar he could easily do it. But he respects the artform too much to water his music down. His albums may not be as easy to digest at first. But if you really sit down with them you realize that his albums are masterpieces. They're Inspiring. Educating. Heart breaking.
      Kendrick is the greatest artist of our lifetime. Appreciate him while he's here.

      Mariah&WhitneyLamb Books aren’t the only source of knowledge. Kendrick himself said he rather talk to people instead of reading books. It’s about experience, love it or hate it, mainstream music now is super easy, it doesn’t actually require any effort and that’s why people put too little effort for the money only. That’s why the majority don’t respect them. You see people like Kendrick and you know he has a genuine passion for his craft, he obviously still does it for money, but he put effort to make a good product that will survive the challenge of time and not ear candy that will wear off in a week or so.

We are all one in the same, but our reasoning makes us take very different routes. Just know that you aren't defined by what you think you cant do. You're just as intelligent as the people you look up to, you may just need an outlet to share that intelligence. I encourage everyone to share this mindset.

    You can really tell how much these dudes respect each other. They’re so attentive to one another and you can tell they’re the only person in each other’s world when the other is talking.

      Haha and this was Kendricks interview. Oh wait im thinking NWA. You really want to have your mind blown, take a look at Rick Rubins discography. Pheeewww!!! Whooah did RR just get him to sing some R&B?

    in my opinion Kendrick is a great lyricist because he's great at speaking and explaining, and Rick is a great producer because he's great at listening to others and asking curious questions
