Says he's in a zone. Let's fucking go.

*He also just sat and spoke for over an hour on his whole career at the 92nd street Y. I posted about it on the other other blog I contribute to, thereedspace.com.

It's because I'm from New York, and my sound was fucking amazing, and I'm pretty; I made it acceptable to wear braids and play JFK. But there was too much hype-- even I felt I was overhyped.

GQ: How do you get better at rapping?

Kendrick Lamar: You really have to travel. I could have told you, "You've got to write every day." Of course you've got to do that. But you really have to get out and see different things. I can't stay in Compton. Things get redundant after a while; that's not the lifestyle any more. You've got to get out and travel.

*Just announced, January 26th on SNL.

I pretty much only like this one photo I'm throwing up top but I'm sure there'll be something for everyone once the whole calendar drops.

I never spread this and I really wanted to. As part of Miami Art Basel's #planetext initiative. Look it up. Enjoy.

I love this. The new family at BAM and the forever family at HotMop Films came together with the mothafuckin' neighborhood cook himself, Hood Chef, this past Thanksgiving to spread some incredible joy to those less fortunate. Nothing better.
