In a new interview with the New York Times, Kendrick Lamar explains that he appreciates Future’s music and to label it as not real Hip Hop is unfair.
He says:
“Of course Future killed it. He smashed. Drake smashed. Future’s work ethic was crazy, his energy. This is the thing about hip-hop music and where people get it most misconstrued: It’s all hip-hop. You can’t say that just what I do is hip-hop, because hip-hop is all energies. James Brown can get on the track and mumble all day. But guess what: You felt his soul on those records…
“I don’t know what makes them move on a personal level. I can’t knock it. It feels good when I listen to it, when I’m in that vibe. You feel it. You can get the highest level of that — you can get Future — or you can get the watered-down version, somebody else trying to be that. That’s the bad [expletive].”
More music. Less interviews.
Thank you.
So politically correct.
I still love J Cole over him. Kendrick just rubs me the wrong way sometimes.
He talks too damn much. Shut the f-ck up.
Lol…that was funny. Thanks for making my day. I really needed that..
He’s trying way too hard to sound like he likes Future’s music…
*blank stare*
He’s gotten annoying. LOL.
Yeah I think it’s safe to say Kendrick is now playing the game. He’s learning what to say and what not to say in his interviews.
