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.

We hurt people that love us, love people that hurt us
Kendrick Lamar
Image
Tell me how I stay positive When they never see good in me
Kendrick Lamar
Image
The times that we are in, it's something that you can only feel in the air. You don't even have to talk about it. You don't need the news or the Internet to watch it. You can walk outside and just feel it.
Kendrick Lamar
Image
I can be calm and reflective from time to time and other times I can have a burst of energy, that's just me.
Kendrick Lamar
Image
As long as my music is real, it's no limit to how many ears I can grab.
Kendrick Lamar
Image
I wanted the next family to hurt, because you made my family hurt. Them emotions were still running in me... Whether I'm a rap star or not, if I still feel like that, then I'm part of the problem rather than the solution.
Kendrick Lamar
Image
I don't talk about these things if I haven't lived them, and I've hurt people in my life. It's something I still have to think about when I sleep at night.
Kendrick Lamar

Am I the only one who measures time using songs? “Oh it only took me 4 songs to get here! that’s not to long!
Kendrick Lamar

I penetrate the hearts of good kids and criminals
Kendrick Lamar

The opposite of love? Vice. Temptation. The negative influences that we have. The bad energy that comes around us and makes us do certain things. To me, it's always been a war between the two.

Image
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.

I'd rather not live like there isn't a God Then die and find out there really is Think about it
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
Image
My rights, my wrongs, I write ‘til I’m right with God.
Kendrick Lamar
Image
Just let me be me, That's the only way I know.

I see conflict. But the conflict is what makes it relatable. I'm conflicted you're conflicted. I'm not perfect - nobody is. I'm just blessed to be able to express my conflict through song.
Kendrick Lamar
Image
I had to come from something, come from a place that was negative and positive but the majority of it is a negative place.
Kendrick Lamar
Image
I always felt like there was a certain standard of music that I had to do from the beginning, even when I didn't have the recognition that I have now.
Kendrick Lamar
Image
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.
