Kendrick Lamar reveals he is a "huge" fan of Lil Wayne and calls him "The Greatest"

[Tunechi]

Kendrick Lamar chopped it up with The Coveteur while out in Manchester, England recently for an interview mainly about his shoe collaboration with Reebok.

During the conversation, K Dot was asked about his style influences to which he mentioned that he is a “huge” Lil Wayne fan even to this day. He then went on to say that Weezy is the “greatest” and not just for his music, but also for what he has done for the culture.

“Yeah, man, we was heavy. That’s a real story like, we was just huge, still to this day, huge Lil Wayne fans. Lil Wayne is the greatest. Not only because of his music but also because of the culture he put behind it. It was a big part of what he was talking about, so we always hold Lil Wayne in high regards. Juvenile as well. And yeah, it’s the impact of them man. To be a part of it the same way he was a part of it years later is just a great feeling.”

not surprised at all by this statement.

Other than his collabo mixtape with Jay Rock, the first K.Dot mixtape I (or probably most ppl who were paying attention to him back then) ever listened was "C4" where he was rapping over some Carter 3 beats


edit. not to mention that when you're listening to his earlier music you can hear the Wayne influence in his delivery too

 

[Dont@Me]

I'm sure there is some politics behind this

 

[Jack Don the G]

Didnt Kendrick use to rap like Wayne before he changed his name from K dot?

Spoiler

The way he said "hes the greatest" tho.

Comes off as a girl hitting you with the:

"Your the greatest."

When you just told her you loved her.

Duckworth being fradulent. While he clearly bit Wayne for his early ignored career, his post Dr Dre work has been one big Lupe Fiasco ripoff. When is he gonna give credit to Lupe for sharking the woat rambling style/woat hipster audience?

 

[KRiLL (+)]

he said this YEARS ago, i mean he has a mixtape rapping over Lil Wayne beats called C4...
