Kendrick Lamar appears on the cover of Jet’s Black History issue. In the magazine, Kendrick Lamar discusses the impact that Hip Hop has on Black history.
“Hip Hop plays a huge part in Black history,” Lamar says in the Jet piece. “It’s bigger than music. Entertainers are actually leading a generation today as role models, whether they want to or not.”
One of those entertainers is Jay Z, a fellow rapper who has earned success after an upbringing in poverty.
“People forget that Jay Z is from the projects, but that inspires me,” Lamar, who also appears on the cover of ESPN The Magazine’s Music Issue, says. “If this guy can go from the streets to the corporate world, that lets me know I’m open for anything.”
Lamar also says he is open to more than simply “clever line” writing in the article, where he explains how he views the songwriting process.
“The songs aren’t for me,” Lamar says. “They are for that person who needs to hear them. People who live their lives to this music. So I take it a little further than just coming up with a clever line.”
The full article is set to be released in the February 17 issue of Jet, which is slated to hit newsstands January 27. The cover can be viewed below.

When he dies they gonna put those ears in the Hip-Hop hall of fame
More like the dumbo hall of shame.
Both of your jokes suck ass.
if he can keep this up he will surely be a future legend
OVER RATED and i don’t care what you think or say about it.
Your entitled to your own opinion, but I strongly disagree.
I’m not even a fan and I think hes the best right now.
doesn’t care what we think or say about it but he insists on posting everywhere letting us know what he thinks about Kendrick
fuckin hate those buffoons
Being the best out doesn’t mean he’s dope, it just means all the other rappers suck even more then he does.
It is the nicest way to earn more and more money at home.$40h – $90h…how? part time or full time,I’ve been bringing in $82h It sounds unbelievable but you wont forgive yourself if you don’t check it out,,,,,,,,,, http://www.Works6.com

Nah, you’re thinking of Drake.
I wasn’t a Kendrick fan before the album, I’m still not really.
I wasn’t impressed with that Hi Power shyt and bought GKMC off hype.
He surprised me wit it, definitely deserves album of the year
Probbly the future of hip hop
hip hop is safe in his hands and I’m not even a fan
uptil I looked at the check which was of $4229 , I accept that my neighbours mother woz realey receiving money in their spare time from their computer. . there great aunt has been doing this for only about nine months and resently repayed the morgage on there apartment and bought GMC . blog link… http://www.Fb39.Com

lol
He look a rodent, not like Will Smith
What?
Amazing album. When I listen to it, it was more than music, it was a story of a person just like me with dreams, fear, dangers, trouble, happiness, adolescence and maturity. He stayed true to his roots he kept it original but different. God bless Kendrick Lamar and hip hop
You need serious help.
No, he doesn’t.
Good god, I havent heard an album like gkmc in a GOOD minute. I will actually purchase this rather than download it. If hip hop artist pumped out more stuff like this, labels could move units like it was ’98.
One of the best rappers I ever heard!! Point Blank!!
his album will go down as one of the best albums of all time for any genre just like Illmatic, Reasonable Doubt, Ready to Die and the other rap albums that are considered the best of all time. When those albums came out we didn’t understand how great they because were very young at the time. Now we have a chance to witness a classic and a legend in the making. The storytelling is amazing. It’s like a movie. You can’t just listen to a couple of songs or skip through. You have to listen straight through from beginning to end.
No it wont you faggot. The album is wack, eat a dick
Name someone doing it better, anyone.
Meek Mill
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! That nigga can’t even make one record without screaming. Also, his shit went wood and was forgotten in a few months. Meanwhile, Kendrick puts out a dope album that’s still remembered more than a year later.
Kendrick is ahead of his time. Perfection from start to finish.
The best hip-hop artist since Lupe Fiasco’s Food & Liquor.
2 classics under his belt
Must be a pretty flimsy belt.
hate all you want but hes got 1 undeniable classic when most rappers cant say that
^^ No, he’s trash and so are you.
ya moms pussy is trash
Kendrick Lamar: Single handedly bringing the REAL Hip-Hop back!
Pac died at 25. Kendrick starts to carry the throne at 25 should be some good years to come
I haven’t left a comment on what use to be m favortie site in ages. However, this album has reignited hip hop. Real talk i describe this album as perfect. At first, I was a little lost by the “skits” because they have been missing in hip hop. I was thrown off by the fact that all the songs were woven together. It was like revisiting illmatic but with a new age flow, more creativity, better beats, hell everything we have now. I mean, the lyrics, concepts, story telling, metaphors are all just amazing. Add in the fact that we got to see this kid grow from k.dot to kendrick lamar. He set the bar. Please follow.
Looks like Aftermath got another classic “2001” , “The Marshall Mathers LP”, “Get Rich or Die Tryin”, now “good kid, m.A.A.d city
Kendrick Lamar, best rapper out so far (not counting the veterans; like jay, Nas, quik), call me regionally biase if you want to, westcoast radio stations need to stop being held hostage and support their artist, i like other regions but fu@k them they’re not westcoast.
When I first heard Kendrick I was like “Who is that?” Then I bought GKMC and said “Well God damn! this guy is a breath of fresh air.” Then I decided to look up some of his earlier music. I fell in LOVE. Kdot…you are the SHIT!!!!!!!!!
kendrick carrying the new gen
he’ll be remebered, first he dropped a classic and now he talks like that ? dude is perfect.
not a fan but I have to give credits where its due, dude is a beast.
Google is paying 75$ per hour! Just work for few hours & spend more time with friends and family. On Sunday I bought themselves vaAlfa Romeo from having made $5637 this month. open this link and click home tab for more detail>>>>>>>

Dumb people coming up here writing stupid shit like “he’s being racist for saying BLACK history” in 3… 2… 1…
no ones gonna say that….
uptil I saw the receipt of $6669 , I did not believe that my neighbour was like they say realy bringing in money parttime from there pretty old laptop. . there aunts neighbour started doing this for less than 13 months and as of now paid for the dept on there home and purchased a gorgeous Porsche 911 . look at this website… http://www.Fb39.Com
whoever thought hiring fucking barbershop singers was a good idea needs to be fired
Ni66ers always need their black history month because ni66ers only have 28 days of history and most of it is Aids in africa and picking cotton in america.
@BruthaDee stop trying to make white people look bad, we know its you
“hate all you want but hes got 1 undeniable classi”
Now compare that supposed classic to real classics of the past. Nuff said.
like whut? pitbull and birdman? cmon son you have terrible taste in music thats why its so funny to read you hating on a critically acclaimed classic platinum album.
So now according to your faggot ass, I only listen to Pitbull and Birdman? lol I’ve listened to it all, and if you judge Kendrick’s dribble to debuts from people who have sold millions more than your chipmunk hero, it’s not even close. Kendrick is using hype and the fact competition is scarce to build this fake movement, yet the #’s don’t lie. Drake murdered his ass in record time, and Eminem comes out of hiding and murders his own Interscope pal.
