Kendrick forgives his haters + says his album is not a classic YET!

McDonald's why? everyone's standing around watching movies in San filming downtown most of the world now granted I've been in a hundred fights I skipped all that I'm sure you have too is that kids don't get into fights Yeah, sure, but it's what you're talking about respecting ourselves and respecting each other, that behavior that leads to some of the circumstances that we get ourselves into, yeah, all the time, because it's hard, it's hard to break a habit, you know, This is what we will be. watching a two year old within the family here I am standing outside our public schools so to start a new trend where I respect the boy at home or she respects the girls you like you have to start now it will take time progress.

It doesn't happen overnight you fell saying so it's just behaving it's just the mindset you know and I'm still working on it I still have to deal with it through personal issues and I have to pick myself up and practice the things of the ones I speak, you feel me, but it's a question of psyche for me and That's why I make movies, that's why I say lines when I bake a game, it makes me kill it blacker than me. That's not just a recipe for me. I currently record and rap these songs on stage every night, so every practice is therapy.

Not just for what can be heard for me too, do you think wait, Rosenberg, the respect combo was a loop of our guy's Shawnee culture with his show where he had Johnny Johnny jumping, Shawnee cheesy, actually Do you know that today I will be Queens, never progress? campaign without disrespect talking to these high school kids about how they should behave like adults here, you know, I say that because and really what I tell them is that when we are young we feel that to get respect, I have to be the toughest, yeah, Sure, so to give you a pinch of your pins, I have to beat this kid up or let him know that I'm better than you, boy, when you come out here as an adult, you will now receive respect. yeah you know you gotta treat people with respect another man from Gary hey my mom taught me when I was a kid you want respect you got a pidgin respect gear one day that's some real talk.

I have this, this is something different. Do you think everyone? We were all very excited, of course, when President Obama was elected and we thought this would do great things. Some people, I mean, brother, were very thoughtful about it, like this was really good. Here we are, here we are, we're rising. In the end, it's been about seven years now, do you think President Obama's election has been overall more positive or more negative for race relations in this country? That is a good question. to do everything he wanted to do, yes robert wiene, Olivia didn't eat for a period, on a positive note, she didn't and the powers that be, I think they watched him, stopped him.

I'm doing what he really wanted to do to me. personally, yes, I think I agree and I would also go on to say that it ended up bringing up some skeletons that people really wanted to bury, yes, that had not been racism of racism, right, that had not been addressed clearly and sufficiently and The presence of Obama made racists run screaming from places that were like work, that's how you still feel. I do. I also think in the long run he made us deal with some things that we were trying to sweep under the rug that may end up being healthy.

I saw a statistic the other day that said an outrageously high percentage of Americans think that Obama poses a greater threat to American security than Vladimir Putin and that he is our own president, it's hard to believe that you don't believe that. Those things out there really show us how much more we have to do in terms of increases and there is a generation coming right now that will be able to see this and they are not stupid teenagers, they are not stupid teenagers, they are not stupid sixteen year olds. seventeen eighteen going to vote that's all that's going on in Indiana it's crazy right now the fact that a restaurant can't serve food to someone because of their sexual orientation that's not crazy knowing it's happening right now in 2015 that's cool there was a man hanging from a tree in mississippi in 2015 sure i mean i know everyone likes to talk about bars and rhymes and rap all the time and they don't like to talk about racism but man it's a conversation Really, there is a We deal with a lot of things, but isn't that what makes pimping a butterfly so special?

But that's also why people hate. Yes, yes, too seriously. You're saying it's too serious. Not everything is fun. Hunky-dory all the time, yes, you feel what you can't understand or what you don't want to understand. I'm looking in the mirror here, well I think you're here among a lot of kids that come up to you and say a lot of honesty, on top of everything, all the dear black people were affected by people like me that will come up to you and leave with little kids, the 15-year-old me that's out there and they're just like me, I never saw the word, that's what the world is, wait until now.

I want to know if the game has changed. Do you feel like

album

release dates are gone? The traditional singles are gone. All this kind of stuff where you were caught up in the pressure as far as the industry is gone. in some ways it's a thing, uh, I think it's a tradition now that kids like it or not, no matter how many posters you put it on, no matter how many television screens, radio shows, they'll receive it or receive it. They're not going to understand it, period, they will support you, they will travel with you and they will be loyal to you regardless of what you know, so I think from that point of view, yeah, yeah, it's a rap, the kids are the tournaments are like them. like, you feel me, regardless of how many times you play them at awards shows, that translates to you feeling like you don't know the artists, that you don't need record labels, or that you know we just had this big thing. title press conference yesterday, yeah, well, I think artists like me felt that way for a long time because of the simple fact that we can put our music on the Internet and go abroad and tour in front of 3,000, 5,000 to 10,000 kids , you know, it's always like that.

It's been an indie game when you look at cats like what Wiz Kalifa did or Mac Miller did, you know they go on tour and actually perform with no labels beyond them you know, so it's always been like that, now it's getting a little bit further. entity as a whole when it comes to the entire rap community, what do you think you're missing? Oh, I think it's going to be really interesting to see, especially since I was referring to the music streaming service in the Jay-Z title, yeah, did they reach out to you, Jay? Yeah, Jay, Jay and I had a conversation about it and I think it's a great idea just for the simple fact that we take control of the music that we have for a long time and we don't have to fight with teachers and stuff like that, you're going to say. property property yeah, exactly double-edged, I bet it's a double meaning, all the teachers, whoa, you got the hey, no, I think you know, watch the artists, take control of their creativity, I think it's amazing , and the distribution, I think is also amazing, right?

I think what will end up happening, you know, is that people are already consuming music this way, the fees involved, the publishers are people who know they own parts of the words you spell correctly because they gave you some money. In advance, yes, we like how you write them, and with a little success, a lot of money, we can own parts of the word you write, how to play them, and the fees they charge for each time you stream a song. you know that the consumer is being affected not only by the monthly rights of you know that you have this membership for any streaming service, but they are also being affected by the cellular company's streaming costs, so they are being affected by users who receive two hits.

Sometimes true, the artist is being hit two or three times more than the publisher, the label, so there are a lot of people eating from the relationship between the artists and the fans and the fan, there are a lot of people eating from that and I think and I. I love seeing how artists are working hard to take control, that on the other side is the business, the commercial side, of how many artists are going to be able to not take that advance money from a publisher, eh, not take that advance from the record label correctly because they want to get on these platforms and get promoted and see if they still want to take that direct route like some artists can do well.

A lot more work is needed for him now. It is not like this? It doesn't have the elements where you just show up to a record label and get a big check for releasing an

album

that's good, push straight with three songs. I got my demo, I got your demo and you got your deal. Yes, it's different. Do you appreciate it like I appreciate it? for the fact that hip hop comes back to the fact that you have to go do shows, of course you don't have a merch or shows, you don't have a career exactly, I love it, I love it because to be 100% real your shows It's what the longevity period shows, you know you can have the best songs in the world, but the ticket sales and the kids that come to see you that proves everything, everything, and I've seen it first hand from a mixtape artist that sells our venues bigger than a major artist, I've seen it, so getting back to the essence of that and being an artist that's right behind you, being a great artist in the studio, it goes hand in hand and every audition in a period, wait a minute, I just woke up.

Yo, so J approached you, but Dre is your mentor, yeah, and Dre has beats and his musical beats, so are you going to put your music in the title? Uh, I wouldn't know what I was. I had to sit with my guilt and think. Find out what he films in, but I think it's a great idea for artists to take control, yeah, it's just the idea, and Jay-Z has always been involved in that, even preaching it with his music forever, you know, saying even win back his master's back. with his first album here, you film me, so seeing him perform that is an inspiring point, oh, whatever we love our boys, whatever we love, I found myself.

Oh hmm, before I let King Kendrick I'll do one thing we talked about off the air, it's just that. in the same way that you united many different generations with the Tupac interviews and George Clinton was falling, yes, yes, Jim's there was something on the album, some voice from beyond that you want it there but you couldn't understand, um, that's how it was . Prince, oh yes, actually I did. I went to his um, to his headquarters and we did that little thing on the internet, we did the pop-up, huh? I was in the studio whose vibrant Bowie press man was pressed for time and more than that, I didn't do it. scam when finishing a song.

I really appreciated the game that he was giving me about the same thing that we're talking about because he took control and that was the first Asian name and every day where you said hello in his face he was really very very progressive with that, yeah, and he was , I was breaking down some things, man, that I need to consider in my career, just taking control of your creativity, I won, I can't really put all the information that he sees because he sees the mysterious mystical man, but he gave me some real Jews on that man and what Jay is doing is just a confirmation of what Bruce was telling you.

I know during all my conversations with Prince and Jay-z they always say the same thing. I know it's like, oh I get it, hey guys, you leave it for Kendrick Lamar every time you come over, man, we end up having a chat about real life knowledge, we can't leave it, yeah. I love it here, man, because everyone. you all talk about a lot of important things that are not necessarily really published a long wait good music in the long wait you know, good times and Summer Jam 2015 is right, well, let's enjoy the rest of your day you're going to talk about gossip and other crap people ask you about shooting
