As part of the Get Schooled campaign, Kendrick Lamar acted as principal of Mt. Pleasant High School (who won K-Dot by raising their attendance by 4% as part of a competition) to promote staying in school. Interesting fact: Kendrick Lamar graduated from Centennial High School in Los Angeles with a 4.0 GPA.
He did speak on the matter as well:
“Without education you don’t have anything…my teachers were great positive influences in my life. My middle school English teacher was probably the reason I became a rapper. He used to encourage me to write poetry and would challenge me, which helped me improve my vocabulary and made me enjoy writing.”
