Kendrick Lamar Speaks On Meeting Eminem

Kendrick Lamar takes a break with MTV and tells his story of meeting Eminem while he was in Detroit.

It was unexpected, I just went to Detroit and I had a show out there and I got a call saying, ‘Em [wants you] to come to the studio, come to the studio fast. That was me actually just meeting and greeting. I bumped heads with Eminem [in the past], but it was very brief, that was my first time really chopping it up with him, getting to ask all the questions I wanted to ask him. He gave me straightforward answers and really just gave me the game on how to stay creative as possible.

He basically told me albums haven’t been done like that in a long time from a new artist, and he can appreciate how I structured the whole thing. Always stay focused on the craft and not indulge in the other crazy stuff that comes around.”

Kendrick Lamar Speaks On Firefly Festival Performance

From MTV:

When Kendrick Lamar takes the stage at a festival, anything is possible.

The crowd’s feedback dictates the flow of each show — the Compton MC told MTV News after his performance at the Firefly Festival — making each performance a unique experience.

“I really just play off the crowd. I’ve good chemistry with my DJ, and there’s little things that we do where he knows what song to go to, how much energy to swindle into the next song,” Lamar explained. “I really just feed off the crowd and what side is rocking the most.”

A$AP Ferg – Peas/2DopeBoyz Interview

After killing his opening set for Juicy J’s Stay Trippy tour in Sacramento, A$AP Ferg and I sat down for a chat and hilarity ensues when Ferg along with his hypeman, Marty Balla, turn this convo into an unconventional sitdown. Between Ferg’s sense of humor and antics, we talked about one of his pet peeves of Catholic school, the exclusivity of his paintings, why Trap Lord is an album instead of a mixtape and more.
