Kendrick Lamar says there was "no compromise at all" when it came to being a new artist on Interscope Records.
Compton wordsmith Kendrick Lamar continued to address the doubters and naysayers as he spoke directly to those who questioned his move to Interscope during a recent interview with MTV News. In his interview, the TDE rapper explained that there was no compromise at all when it came to making his music nor was there any pressure from the label.
People tell me this every day, I was in a blessed position, said Kendrick. No compromise at all. [They] told me to go, continue what Im doing Interscope, Dre. Continue doing what Im doing. And I think that just comes from them having faith in the music, them believing in the foundation that we built from the ground up, and not wanting to lose that foundation. So many people say, Well I was hearing he signed to which-a-call-it. I know its about to happen now. Hes finna come with something left. But at the whole time this was already premeditated how we was gon come.
Kendrick also spoke on the support he received from Dr. Dre who he says was ready to get the balling rolling the first week he was signed to Interscope. He revealed that Dr. Dre seemed confident in him already being developed as an artist and merely asked him how long it would take to create his solo album.
In so many words you know what Dre said this probably like my first week after being signed to him. He said, You know what? You ready. Aint no need developing you or being over your shoulders. You already ready. How long do you think youre gonna take to build this album, Kendrick explained.
