Whenever I make music, it reflects where I'm at mentally.

When everybody looks at our generation of kids, they always call us the misfits - you know, like we just don't give a damn.

From Kendrick Lamar

People have to go through trials and tribulations to get where they at. Do your thing - continue to rock it - because obviously, God wants you here.

From Kendrick Lamar

If my edge is dull, my sword is dull, and I don't want to fight another guy whose sword is dull. If you've got two steel swords going back and forth hitting each other, what's gonna happen? Both of them are going to get sharper. Everybody that's in the industry has lost their edge.

From Kendrick Lamar

I think my worst problem is actually living in the moment and understanding everything that's going on. I feel like I'm in my own bubble.

From Kendrick Lamar

I'm only as good as my last word, my last hook, my last bridge.

From Kendrick Lamar

Being acknowledged for your work is always a great accomplishment, whether it's people in my city, kids in the street, all the way up to the Grammys.

From Kendrick Lamar

The majority of my interactions with police were not good. There were a few good ones who were actually protecting the community. But then you have ones from the Valley. They never met me in their life, but since I'm a kid in basketball shorts and a white T-shirt, they wanna slam me on the hood of the car. Sixteen years old.

From Kendrick Lamar

I'm sticking to the script, I'm putting that organic feeling back in the game.

From Kendrick Lamar

Eventually you get to this point where you understand what you want to do and get across and sound like.
