Kendrick Lamar for GQ

I’ve been told by several people that Kendrick Lamar is one rapper that I need to see in concert. One of the most effective MC’s over rap instrumentals in the world, Lamar is currently one of the world’s biggest and most profitable artists. Luckily, Bumbershoot gave me that opportunity this past summer and while I don’t typically listen to Kendrick’s material, I remember once upon a time when I battled another university in Seattle to book him for a music festival. At the time he was very up-and-coming and today’s he’s on the cover of GQ. These days, I’m listening to a different genre of music, but I was very impressed with the way that he commands a crowd. I’ve never seen such rowdy fans, but I suppose that just means he’s doing his job. Also, he cleans up nicely.
