Interview with Kendrick Lamar

Q: Where have you been for so long?

A: You know its took me a while to figure out what I want to do. I’ve rapped about everything there is to rap about in my career so I had to really think about what I wanted to do next and what it was going to be about. Hence, this album

Q. Right. Now this next question probably won’t surprise you, can you explain what you were trying to say in your control verse?

A: Yeah well there’s been a lot of hype regarding that track I released. All I can say is, just listen to the lyrics. If you listen, you’ll understand that I have huge respect for the rappers I mentioned and the ones I didn’t mention are the ones that I’m dissing. Friendly competition is all it is and people don’t understand that.

Q: Theres rumours of a future track with Eminem. Is this true?

A: Yeah well it is likely to happen. I got in touch with Em and sent over some of my stuff and he said he liked it very much and wanted to work with me soon. So you’ll just have to wait on it but hopefully it’ll happen. He’s a legend in the rap game and I’d love to work with him.

Q: Are there any concerts upcoming that fans should know about?

A: Yeah I may be doing a concert in the UK later on in the year as I've grown quite a big fanbase there so it would be nice to perform there in London or something, but we will see, nothings official yet but the UK can probably expect a visit.
