Kendrick Lamar won five awards at last night’s Grammys. The Compton, California rapper also performed for the audience that included Taylor Swift, Alabama Shakes and Justin Bieber.
In addition to bringing his fiancee, Whitney Alford, as his guest to the event, Lamar brought some high school students from his alma mater, Centennial High School, on a field trip to the pre-show festivities.
“Seeing them out here, it just reminds me where you come from,” the rapper says in a video posted by Reebok. “I can see they got full energy, the same way I had, the motivation to wanna do something with themselves. In the next 10 years from now, hopefully they’ll be further than where I’m at. So it’s a beautiful thing.”
Earlier this month, Lamar received the key to the city of Compton from mayor Aja Brown.

Yo! How cool is this? Even if you’re not a Cornrow Kenny fan this is dope. Kendrick is the blueprint of inspiration
I wish drake would just end this bums career already. If this gremlin had a backbone he would diss drake and then drake would finish him like he finished meek mill. This nigga is lucky he doesn’t have the balls to drop a drake diss track or talk bad about the king with no subliminal. When views comes out kendrick articles will go extinct on this site for a good year.

Do you ever get tired of hating on King Kendrick? It’s getting old already. Stanning for Aubrey isn’t gonna make him better.
fake drake talking shit how he’s bulletproof like obamas ride…Kendrick shot him down 5 times last night. Kendrick has dissed him several times already, fake drake ain’t said shit in response cause he will get lyrically destroyed by Kendrick. [I can dig rappin… but a rapper wit a ghostwriter…what the fuck happened…drake sharing bars like he got the bottom bunk in a 2 man cell] #DRAKEISFAKEDRAKEISWACK
