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.

[@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

[@simpkinsfranklin]

It just feels like Euphoria ya know? Immediately

❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@Andre-cg5qj]

This my first time seeing this one

[@gxglee5616]

Kendrick is one of the very few people in this world who actually think before they answer, that's very deep and extremely rare

[@ashleyklug4538]

Gxg Lee i agree! check out a tyler joseph interview (of twenty one pilots) - he and kendrick interview so similarly

[@jhieufh]

Soso Wavey I think he meant kendrick thinks before talks as opposed to other RAPPERS, not the whole world

[@cinematiccreator716]

NO ITS NOT

[@wadeashley1658]

In the end you'll find out there's a balance in what he's saying...

[@jefe314]

So I was taking a walk the other day

[@jonathann2093]

and I seen a woman-a blind woman-pacin' up and down the sidewalk. She seemed to be a bit frustrated, as if she had dropped somethin' and havin' a hard time findin' it. So after watchin' her struggle for a while, I decide to go over and lend a helping hand, you know?

[@happygucci5094]

Been saying it. Listen to his body of work… Really listen. And I definitely get why him and SZA connect. Listen 👂🏽…it’s all there.

[@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

[@babychewbacca9211]

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.

[@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.

[@ArtofComics]

I don't know about all of that. He's damn good, but let's not get crazy.

[@Ojan36]

Kendrick's humility is unbelievable

[@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.

[@Manithegreatest]

Coming back to this after history was made it’s a great time to be a Kendrick Lamar fan. He’s been saying it. He’s here for the long run.

mr winfrey I still don't understand certain parts of it, would you care to shed some light on how you perceived the concept & your understanding of it? ANY ONE 😊

[@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. 💯

[@ControversyMusic]

It’s interesting because he says he wants to always be the best in this interview but I think now. He feels more comfortable letting someone else take the crown then always feeling like he has to be the people’s savior and champion

Andre paints what he is rapping. The way he describes what he says is just amazing to me. Plus his flow back then was ahead of his time.

[@d.edwardsfreelanceeditorvi4212]

andre is good but not my top 5, neither is Pac. biggie is a better lyricst and storyteller then both. warning, 10 crack commandents, I got a story to tell etc. u can visually see what biggie is saying.

[@Zephead10]

I like biggie. But my top 5 doesn't just consist of storytelling, but how they make me feel. Pac had more substance than Biggie. Plus Biggie fabricated many of the things he rapped about. His mom was a teacher with a good paying job.

[@lauren-uy9gi]

[@aaroncollier6715]

Control is still such an impactful track. It's difficult to remember that the song didn't even belong to Kendrick.
