As long as my music is real, it's no limit to how many ears I can grab.

I like to let things breathe.

I always tell people that if I move anywhere it would be Toronto.

I'm selfish.

I always thought money was something just to make me happy. But I've learned that I feel better being able to help my folks, 'cause we never had nothing. So just to see them excited about my career is more of a blessing than me actually having it for myself.

From Kendrick Lamar

My folks ain't graduated from high school or nothing like that, so we always had to struggle in the family - and I come from a big family.

From Kendrick Lamar

Sonnymoon and Quadrants are a couple of bands that really inspire me in terms of the melodics of things and certain tones and just what feels good. It takes me back to the type of music that I grew up on in my household. We played a lot of gangsta rap, but we also played a lot of oldies, and I think that mix is part of what inspires my sound.

From Kendrick Lamar

I've got an extra-specific story about Dr. Dre. I saw him when I was 9 years old in Compton - him and Tupac. They were shooting the second 'California Love' video. My pops had seen him and ran back to the house and got me, put me on his neck, and we stood there watching Dre and Pac in a Bentley.

From Kendrick Lamar

God to me is love.
