Kendrick Lamar: Jay Z ‘for President’

RUSH EXCERPT:
LAMAR: "It’s special, man. And my God plotter say god up top, all the top, hip-hop, man, I say hip-hop 6789. This is a special world because it’s rap music. This is the thing that got me on the stage, got me to tour all around the world, support Nie family and all that. Most porntdly, it showed me a true definition of what being an artist was, you know. From the jump I thought it was about the accolades and cars and clothes but it is really about expressing yourself and putting that paint on the canvas for the world to evolve, for the next listener, the next generation after, that you know what I’m saying? Hip-hop has done that for me. I got a lot of guys in this building right now that I idolize to his day -- Jay-Z, Nas, Puff, these guys show me the game from their lyrics, from close and from afar. So with that being said, this shows me the hip-hop real tough, that’s love, baby. Jay-Z for president."
