Kendrick Lamar Talks About His Obsession With Eminem

[The Ruler 09]

TDE standout Kendrick Lamar recently talked about his obsession with Eminem and how they both linked up for their new “Love Game” collaboration.

Lamar revealed that he first met Marshall at the annual music festival Coachella.
“The first time I met Em was through [music festival] Coachella,” Lamar revealed in an interview. “Yeah, that was the first time I met him. We spoke briefly so I didn’t really get to hang with him. Then on my second time around, I got to go to Detroit and actually chill with him and vibe out. That was way before the record, so, I think that was like the first introduction, getting to sit down and actually talk to him and ask him questions I always wanted to ask.” (“Whoolywood”)

K.Dot also discussed his love for Em back in high school.

“That just comes from being a fan from day one. It wasn’t really something I could do overnight. It’s from me being in ninth grade and studying all of the albums, the Marshall Mathers LP and Slim Shady, coming from that era and then finally getting to meet him. It’s just one of those types of things. I already knew the type of wizard he already was. When I finally got into the studio with him, I had to bring my A-game.” (“Whoolywood”)

So I really don't get why people are surprised at him defending Iggy, if he's "obsessed" with white rappers who have called black people ******s, dissed black women and said blacks only want your money.

 

[TrifeGod]

Seems like if anybody, he would be obsessed with Lil Wayne after listening to his old mixtape

 

[Blackout]

That explains a lot.

 

[The Ruler 09]

The system wants every black kid to be obsessed with Eminem. You won't have true racial pride if you are an ardent Eminem fan and you will defend the indefensible...

 

[TheSickness]

OP is mad that Kendrick is a fan of a white rapper

This is an old thread an Eminem stan bumped lol, but no I don't stop, and never will..

 

[Bawon Samedi]

Um... Who cares? I'm a fan of Eminem and so is other black stans. Many rappers besides Kendrick look up Em. How is this new?

Also Kendrick's biggest influence/idol is actually Tupac iirc.

 

[AkaDemiK]

you'd be a fool to not realize em has influenced his rappin from the first mixtape up to this point....from certain flows and cadences....I hope they do more records in the future
