There's a reason so many people consider him to be the GOAT. If he wanted to be a popstar he could easily do it. But he respects the artform too much to water his music down. His albums may not be as easy to digest at first. But if you really sit down with them you realize that his albums are masterpieces. They're Inspiring. Educating. Heart breaking. Kendrick is the greatest artist of our lifetime. Appreciate him while he's here.

Kobe had an interview with Kendrick and flat out said that if rap had NBA comp, Kenny was Mamba. He said he's the only rapper he could see himself in. Makes literal sense because after Kobe retired, he started making his own art with film and storytelling and won a Grammy for his short film. Kendrick won a Pulitzer.

Mariah&WhitneyLamb Books aren’t the only source of knowledge. Kendrick himself said he rather talk to people instead of reading books. It’s about experience, love it or hate it, mainstream music now is super easy, it doesn’t actually require any effort and that’s why people put too little effort for the money only. That’s why the majority don’t respect them. You see people like Kendrick and you know he has a genuine passion for his craft, he obviously still does it for money, but he put effort to make a good product that will survive the challenge of time and not ear candy that will wear off in a week or so.
