Kendrick Lamar - Message Behind good kid, m.A.A.d. city | GRAMMYs

[adonis]

For all my aspiring artists: this is Kendrick with a clear vision and understanding of himself in the space of rap. He had to hone his skills first in order to become who he is today (even back then) - much akin to Drake and Cole. The thing is he found his niche because he found his voice - like Drake and Cole. Don't underestimate your voice; but first refine your skills and grow with your music.


All the greats brought something new into the game. From pre-Rakim to post-Rakim, everybody great paid a big price to become who they are. Pay your dues.

Kendrick has anyone's fucking respect.

this is what hiphop is all about. u take bits, unconsiously twist it a bit at times, and make it your own. not just on kendricks album. pac. everyone..

That's in New Jersey? Look on the bright side at least New Jersey got legendary famous people from there like Whitney Houston, Queen Latifah, Tisha Campbell, 2pac's Outlaws and many more. Jersey can't be that bad!! Even Queen Latifah made a whole song about it. Man please, I aint thinking about you. Don't Mary J. Blige live in Jersey and aint paid no damn taxes. .
