Dr. Dre and Kendrick Lamar have joined forces to appear on the cover of XXL magazine‘s 15th anniversary issue.

According to the publication, the story sees K. Dot discussing his upcoming album good kid, m.A.A.d city, his family’s violent tendencies and more, while Dre bigs up his abilities and brands him the future of rap.

“I don’t have a crystal ball, but I believe that [Kendrick] has the potential to do some really incredible great things–things that are gonna make the veterans raise their eyebrows,” said Dre.

I used to be a fan of Kendrick, but know that he's getting mainstream exposure and almost everyone knows about him, I'm no longer a fan. Fuck you Kendrick you sellout piece of shit!

The worst part of this issue will be the 176 Iconic Covers. It will be like a gallery of Dre, 50 Cent, Eminem and dead rappers over and over.

"Well using the term "No Homo" just solidifies the fact that your insecure hence Lil Wayne says it all the time..." And "overrated" and you bumping Lloyd Banks new mixtape. I guess you prolli think that's better than Section.80 making your comment void...

Smh here we go. As soon as my nigga Kendrick gets just a drop of star power the haters come out in droves. Ya'll was just on his dick when nobody knew who he was. Shit just proves that its really the success ya'll hate. Anybody who passes through your imaginary line that separates the underground from the mainstream is fair game huh?

How can people call Dre overrated? Really fellas? If Dre is overrated, name another producer whos done more than he has in the game. N.W.A., Eazy E, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, 50 Cent, Game. All of these artists not only blew up, but they BLEW THE FUCC UP. plus all of the songs hes produced for artists like 2Pac, Dogg Pound, Mary J Blige, Gwen stefani, Eve, etc. CMON, SON
