Although he rarely takes to social media, Kendrick Lamar did participate in a live Twitter Q&A yesterday (April 15), after some convincing from TDE’s Top Dawg.
“we all know kdot terrible at social media …i just talked him n2 jumping on around 430 to answer any questions y’all have 4 him…#TDE,” Top Dawg said via Twitter.
Not long afterwards, K. Dot logged on to answer a wide variety of questions from fans.
First off, Kendrick opened about his thoughts on Lil Wayne.
“@MoeJamul 1 of the most influential artist of this generation and still hungry,” Kendrick replied.
After being asked who his favorite artist in the game is right now, the Compton, California rapper replied: “earl sweatshirt.”
Later on, Kendrick hinted at the possibility of a To Pimp A Butterfly world tour. “God willing. Soon enuff,” he said.
He also revealed that his favorite cut off of his sophomore album is track #2, “For Free? (Interlude).”

Earl Sweatshirt…..a few points lost right there
the hell are you talkin about?? earl is nice. fall back..
#FACTS Kendrick lost 1/2 of his credibility with that nonsense!
^ Wrong.
So what would’ve been your choice?
anyone who thinks earl sweatshirt isnt nice doesnt know hip hop this kid was 16 spitting 16s that most people couldnt think of in there 20s his flow is ridiculous to the point that no one could ever steal his style because he switches the flow on like every other bar so how does kendrick loose points???? just wait until earl grows up and drops a more mature album its a rap for alot of these rappers
whack rapper cosigning more whack rappers. Kendrick wishes his group tde was even half as successful as ovo
Who else is on OVO besides Drake? That Tuesday guy? you can’t be serious.
Earl Fucking Sweatshirt?! WHAT?! That kid is wack as FUCK! His new album was completely unlistenable unless you’re a underdeveloped teenager! Points definitely lost. And TPAB is already out of rotation. Shit is mad boring regardless of its “message”. Nobody is even talking about it any longer and not to mention how boring the tour in support of the album is going to be. Shit is going to put the audience to sleep unless he plays records off of GKMC to keep the crowd interested! Because nobody under the age of 25 wants to hear spoken word and bedtime poetry!
Oh, look. A hate-filled comment full of lies coming from someone who doesn’t know music. LOL Kill yourself.
So King Kunta, I, Blacker The Berry, Alright, Complexion, Wesley’s Theory, etc., are boring and will put people to sleep? LOL you must not have seen footage of any Kendrick Lamar concert because those joints are always lit up. The only spoken word/poetry songs on TPAB is For Free and For Sale interludes.
The fact you put, “message” in quotes is proof enough that you don’t give a fuck about hip hop. Hold it to a higher regard than shit that just sounds dope in the moment. Thats pop music. If you want pop music go listen to it. But real hip hop is about the message, not just about how good of a rapper you are. Being able to slam good and catchy punchlines into your bars is the bare minimum. If you don’t have social commentary its not hip hop bro, its hip pop. Thats just lyrically. Now production wise kendrick samples the music that is nostalgic to him, and an entire generation. The album has moments of G-funk, jazz, Spoken Word, and even Neo-soul. The structure of this album, and his methodical progression through the poem is a concept that nearly surpasses every hip hop album. ending with the interview with pac, while covering concepts from complexion bias within the black community to the tax code, to self doubt, to bringing yourself out of self doubt, obviously racial social commentary. There are no wholes in this album. If you like hip hop, and further music that defines us as a culture, Jazz, blues, neo soul, and the mother to hip hop, spoken word. Simply put if you don’t like this album, simply put you don’t like hip hop.
Yo why did he immediately erase his Tweets after the Q&A? Basically retracting all of his wack responses!
You stalking his Twitter or something?
He didn’t you fucktard
Ugh! “Fucktard’? That insult really hit home! LMAO!!!
You just gotta click tweets & replies to view the replies.
No, they are gone. Gone forever.
People get really worked up when anyone criticizes Kendrick on here.
The people who criticize Kendrick get more worked up to hate.
Earl is actually an amazing rapper.. lots of haters and masturbators
hahaha lmao
look it’s
Good for Earl to get s shoutout from Kendrick, I’m sure he would appreciate that
He should have named Fashawn because The Ecology is the best album of 2015 hand down.
You don’t know what “hands down” means do you?
This dick ain’t for free but these big butts and tight hole are
