More quotes by Kendrick Lamar
Found myself screaming in a hotel room. I didn't want to self-destruct.
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
I've got an extra-specific story about Dr. Dre. I saw him when I was 9 years old in Compton - him and Tupac. They were shooting the second 'California Love' video. My pops had seen him and ran back to the house and got me, put me on his neck, and we stood there watching Dre and Pac in a Bentley.
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
I learned, when I look in the mirror and tell my story, that I should be myself and not peep whatever everybody is doing.
Kendrick Lamar
Tell me how I stay positive When they never see good in me
Kendrick Lamar
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
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
We all, we all good people just trying to escape the negative influence that come around us and that's the story of my life, you know? Trying my best to get around the ills and I bumped my head a few times but I think, you know, music is my savior for right now, for me and my whole group.
Kendrick Lamar
Eventually you get to this point where you understand what you want to do and get across and sound like.
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
As long as my music is real, it's no limit to how many ears I can grab.
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'm constantly thinking.
Kendrick Lamar
What is love? Love to me is god.
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
It's easy to forget who you are.
Kendrick Lamar
While you have people who are actually fronting for your needs and wants, sometimes your needs and wants may not be right for you. The people around you are just trying to keep their jobs.
Kendrick Lamar
God to me is love. It's the ruler of all things, whether it's with a person or with music or with your TV. I feel like it's this energy. God is energy, love is energy.
Kendrick Lamar
The Universe energy doesn't lie.
