Kendrick Lamar: The Rolling Stone Interview
Rolling Stone Question: Is it ever OK for a rapper to have a ghostwriter? You've obviously written verses for Dr. Dre yourself.
Kendrick's Answer: It depends on what arena you're putting yourself in. I called myself the best rapper. I cannot call myself the best rapper if I have a ghostwriter. If you're saying you're a different type of artist and you don't really care about the art form of being the best rapper, then so be it. Make great music. But the title, it won't be there.

That cover makes it looked like he's locked up

Ouch

Not a lie was told.

Drake lost

Kendrick>Drake

This has been discussed before. We get it. Let's move on. Drake is not a rapper. @JJ_Evans "OVO" must be painted on your girls toenails.
-
He's right tho
Drake's argument is dependent tho on rap losing its roots and becoming entirely pop.
Kendrick isn't wrong to say that tho. Told y'all years ago when Kendrick and him were at more equal levels in their careers Kendrick would try him again.now the subliminals are gonna come just watch.
The subliminals been comin. Just waitin on a full on diss track -
Drake dont even want to be a "rapper" so nothing to see here on that front
-
Bodied Drake ad didnt even have to put in a rap.
-
I thought Jay was the GROAT?
-
Uh oh

Then why he stay running his mouth bout being the best rapper out? Drake a whole hoe -
You've said you were one of the only ones among your friends with a dad around – and at the end of the new album you suggest that may have saved your life. How so?
It taught me how to deal with [pauses] ... emotions. Better than a lot of my peers. When you see kids doing things that the world calls harmful or a threat, it's because they don't know how to deal with their emotions. When you have a father in your life, you do something, he'll look at you and say, "What the ? is you doing?" Putting you in your place. Making you feel this small. That was a privilege for me. My peers, their mothers and grandmothers may have taught them the love and the care, but they couldn't teach them that.
Fathers. Be in your son's lives please -
K Dot can do what Drake does (make hit records). Drake can't do what K Dot does (make classic albums). You can see the growth in Kendrick as an artist. He is mastering how to make singles and it's not forced ? either.

@usmarin3 Remember when you told me that Kendrick was just a niche rapper and Jay Electronica would have more popularity?

I read the entire interview this morning... quite insightful. He's an intelligent brotha
He was also asked about Drake and his music. He's replies were curt and straight... -

What's your favorite Drake song?
Favorite Drake song [chuckles]. I got a lot of favorite Drake songs. Can't name one off the back. ... He has plenty.
Do you prefer him singing or rapping?
Both. Yeah. -
Does it matter if drake writes his raps or not?
Kendrick still makes better music and raps better than drake -
This should not be anything new. Other rappers been saying this about ghostwriting back in the 80's.
