More quotes by Kendrick Lamar
Teenagers expressing this on a daily basis in the middle of the streets - you can't help but believe we are in the mind state of taking our losses and changing people's perceptions of us and our community. We are strong. Our families are tired of being hurt.
Kendrick Lamar
What is love? Love to me is god.
Kendrick Lamar
I really focus on what my fans will take from it, people living their day-to-day lives. At the end of the day, the music isn't for me it's for people who are going through their struggles and want to relate to someone who feels the same way they do. I've got to go all-in, expressing myself, right there in the moment.
Kendrick Lamar
The best thing is to always keep honest people around, because when you have a bunch of yes men around that know that you're making a mistake but let you go on with it, that's when it ruins your mind state as an artist.
Kendrick Lamar
When I look at comedy, it's all self-expression. I apply that same method to my music. I came up listening to N.W.A and Snoop. Like them, it's in me to express how I feel. You might like it or you might not, but I take that stand.
Kendrick Lamar
Being able to tell one from start to finish, and making that puzzle come together at the end. That's the art for me.
Kendrick Lamar
We're all human at the end of the day, making mistakes. But learn from them is the key.
Kendrick Lamar
That's the ultimate thing I want to do in making music - to be able to inspire somebody else.
Kendrick Lamar

Kendrick Lamar
You really can't categorize my music, it's human music.
Kendrick Lamar
I probably spent more time listening to albums than writing songs. But I think that gave me all the tricks in terms of wordplay, from how I pronounced my words to the actual delivery.
Kendrick Lamar
[ Drizzy] is a good dude , he's been looked out and reached out, and I admire the talent.
Kendrick Lamar
As long as my music is real, it's no limit to how many ears I can grab.
Kendrick Lamar
It's easy to forget who you are.
Kendrick Lamar
Life Will Put Many Red Lights In Front Of You, But Sometimes We Must Push On The Gas And Trust God
Kendrick Lamar
Hip-hop is not the problem, our reality is the problem.
Kendrick Lamar
You can't have people listen to you unless you come to their world and then bring them to yours.
Kendrick Lamar
When I go into the studio - it [words] has to sound the way I heard it in my head. So that's probably one of the biggest things that separates me when I'm working in the studio - just how I hear certain things.
Kendrick Lamar
There's a lot of other artists doing things outside of that depth that I enjoy - that music that I can actually have fun to, and not be in depth and think about, then I appreciate that.
Kendrick Lamar
I stole a Bible, is that a sin?
