Kendrick Lamar: 'DAMN' Interview | Apple Music

[@lxxxks1607]

I love the fact that us as his fans all collectively decided to revisit his interviews on yt during this special time. Love him, bless him!

[@nessbertho2581]

I listened to section 80 and tpab all the way through and then came back to listen to this interview. Mind blowing. My respects to Kendrick for the dedication.

[@JoelleWright]

1000%

[@Bionimetic]

He is my baseline for an artist. Genuine, humble beginnings but has it all yet not without his faults. Genuinely human and not just about a check

[@damianlee6957]

Seeing an interview after listening to all his albums recently, I find it super interesting how raw and emotional he is when speaking. His music is definitely that but it has a kind of anger to it. Watching this, I see that anger as a deeply creative and heartfelt individual. His genius is nothing I’ve ever seen in music. Definitely one of the goats, if not THE goat, of our generation.

[@DurfMcAllister]

Just a genius, honest, truly vulnerable artist. He cares so much for his art, so we do too

[@iamdiamak]

16:24 _TPAB was the​ idea of changing the world.. How we work and how we approach things. DAMN was "the idea of I can't change the world until i change myself". This is the best way to explain DAMN.

What I love most about Kendrick's philosophy in his music is he gives a fuck about what he processes for everyone going through tough moments. He's sticking his hand out saying you're not alone with this pain, let's face the fire together.

[@edrynazarif1996]

YES.

[@cutesyydesignss]

its 2023 and i still see kendrick as the greatest artist of all time, not "rapper", an artist is what he is to me

Artist (especially music) Types of artists Singers Rappers Songwriters Producers Composers Instrumentalist And etc.

[@NICOLEAC-PharmD]

Same..

[@happygucci5094]

We have witnessed something special in this one. ☝🏽 Jay Z is the articulation of his inner and his calculation and execution and hides his vulnerability in plain sight. Eminem - I would say more DMX - the anger the rage - the PAIN. Tupac was a prophet. Kendrick recognizes him as a prophet- Tupac has heart, brains, wisdom, foolishness, pain, vulnerability and devastating honesty not just for himself, for the CULTURE…Kendrick is that guy.

[@TheIncMatrixEnt]

+Wandile Duma simply put... I find that Kendrick is putting life & human emotion into one album... hence the one word track titles. "this how it is when you in the matrix.. dodging bullets.. reaping what you sow". he's referring to the system we are all trying to survive in.. which all of us will perish in regardless. sonically & conceptually he implies that the music is what will live on beyond an actual human life full of emotions. 💯

[@Ojan36]

Kendrick's humility is unbelievable

[@appreciate_myybeauty]

Kendrick is so thoughtful and a genius. Muchhh respect ❤

[@edb4033]

Still listening to this album almost everyday since it came out. This album will live forever. Once you decipher it, you realize this guy is the modern Shake Spear of our time. Thank you kendrick.

[@916bidness]

10:00 is such a beautiful moment. He is asked if he is the greatest rapper alive and rather than brag or boast about his success he goes into the most amazing explanation for his love of music. It really shows how emotionally in tune he is with his art and understanding of music. You can feel how passionate he is.
