How Don Cheadle Discovered That He’s Kendrick Lamar’s Kung Fu Kenny

You played Kenny in Rush Hour 2, and Kendrick references Kung Fu Kenny a bunch on the album. Is that a direct reference to that character?

The funniest thing about the whole thing was, after I shot the video, he’s like, “So we’re doing these dates at Coachella, you should come to Coachella and kick it.” I’m like, “I’ve never even thought about coming to Coachella, that’s not my thing at all, but because you’re going to be there, for sure I’ll come to Coachella.” So he says, “Okay, come, it’ll be dope. And I’m going to have a little surprise for you.” So I came, I saw him perform, it was dope. He has this crazy karate movie that he has before the concert which is weird and cuts all through it and is really bizarre and funny and out of his brain and great. Crazy-great kung fu movie. We ride back, we actually ate at P.F. Changs [laughs], and hung out, and then I left, and I went on my Twitter account and somebody wrote, “Don Cheadle, the original Kung Fu Kenny” and put a picture of Rush Hour 2 up. I was like, wait a minute. So I texted him. I said, “Is Kung Fu Kenny me?” He’s like, “That’s what the surprise was. Damn.” I was like, “Oh, I didn’t get it at all.” [Laughs] He’s like, “Yeah that’s what the surprise was, so… surprise.”

You can listen to a bunch of music about killing nikkas in 2017?

You seem to be reducing Mobb Deep to mindless violent content only. That leads me to suspect you haven't heard their albums.

I'm trolling you, like I did with that last Mobb deep post

Ultimately though, their music has too much violence for me. Can't listen to that shyt on the day to day anymore.

You like what you like though

Too much pop shyt
Beats are too mainstream

If that's how you feel. Though I don't see how you can say it's to pop.

Anything older is better than anything better with old heads

It's a generational thing. Which is why I don't argue.

Im not gonna act like metacritic is the be all and end all that defines an albums quality and status like some people...but I'm kinda amazed this album has 97 off of 20 reviews atm, technically that makes this the highest rated rap album beating TPAB, this albums fukking dope but it ain't that incredible lol.

Although tbf TPAB has twice as many reviews...GKMC is still better than both imo

Metacritic holds zero weight

The first song on Untitled Unmastered is really a preview of this album's concept. It's eerie how much planning this dude puts into his music...
