You Really Can't Categorize My Music, It's

Brother Kendrick Lamar: He's Not A Rapper, He's A Writer, He's An Author. And If You Read Between The Lines, We'll Learn How To Love One Another. But You Can't Do That, I Said You Can't Do That, Without Loving Yourself First.

I Was A Black Sheep, But Now I'm Just A Goat

Music Was Just Played All Around Me, And I Couldn't Run From It. My Pops, He Never Learned To Sing, But He'd Have His Little Drink On The Side, And He'd Put On The Best Of His Hits - Gangster Rap Or Oldies - And He'd Sing All Day On His Mic Plugged Up To The Wall Set-up. It's A Trip. I've Just Seen That My Whole Life, So I've Always Just Had A Love For Music. By The Time I Was 13, I Really Just Jumped In It. And It's Something I Took On To Have As A Hobby.

Build Your Own Pyramids, Write Your Own Hieroglyphs.

I Really Focus On What My Fans Will Take From It, People Living Their Day-to-day Lives. At The End Of The Day, The Music Isn't For Me; It's For People Who Are Going Through Their Struggles And Want To Relate To Someone Who Feels The Same Way They Do. I've Got To Go All-in, Expressing Myself, Right There In The Moment.
