Description
Before the world knew Kendrick Lamar, Tupac and DMX pushed him to pick up a pen. A powerful moment from Kendrick’s conversation with Nick Barili on Hard Knock TV.
“We all got to go back to when Tupac was doing it… when he passed, everything got jiggy. That’s when I started writing — when DMX’s first album came out — because there was a void. I needed to hear something real that I could relate to.”
Posted in honor of DMX’s birthday, celebrating the legacy and impact he left on hip-hop.
Watch the full interview for more insight into Kendrick’s journey, influences, and mindset.
