Kendrick Lamar Breakfast Club Interview After To Pimp A Butterfly Release
In this interview Kendrick Lamar answers a lot of questions about To Pimp A Butterfly.
He believes that artists should be more thoughtful in the music they put out which is why he spent so much time trying to bring a good message in this album rather than glorifying killing.
He talked about how Top Dawg had always believed in him and Jay Rock even before he believed in himself. Jay Rock made it into the industry before Kendrick and was able to give Kendrick advice on how to say certain things since Jay Rock got a lot of backlash for his debut album.
J. Cole wanted to sign Kendrick but he never told Kendrick that. Kendrick also talked about how he wants to do a collab album with J. Cole but they just need to find the right time to do it, and they already have some songs recorded.
He revealed the reason he doesn't use Dr. Dre beats a lot on albums is because Dr. Dre and him have something big planned. Despite not using many beats from him he does get advice on how to make certain sounds from Dr. Dre especially using analog.
Some people at Top Dawg were mad at Kanye since he was posting pictures of his girl on the day To Pimp A Butterfly released and Kendrick defends him saying that he has worked with Kanye before and believes he's a good guy and he meant no harm.
Charlamagne asked him about what he meant by being the closest thing to a preacher his fans have.
He also talked about his aggression on his Control verse, elaborated on what he meant when talking about police violence in Ferguson, why he didn't attend the Grammy's, getting the Tupac interview on Mortal Man, why the album released early, and working with Snoop Dogg on Institutionalized, and working on the album as a whole.
To end of the interview just like the last interview the interviewer asks about if the movie is coming out and he jokingly asks where's the budget.
