How to Hire KENDRICK LAMAR For Your Event!
GRAMMY AWARD winning
Kendrick Lamar Duckworth, professionally known as Kendrick Lamar, was born in
Compton, California, on June 17, 1987.
After writing stories as a child, he put to music some lyrics about the rough
Compton streets he grew up on. He rapped under the name K-Dot, releasing a
series of increasingly popular mix tapes, which brought him to the attention of
hip-hop super-producer Dr. Dre.
Kendrick Lamar's debut major-label recording, good kid, m.A.A.d City, was released to great acclaim and impressive sales for an
up-and-coming recording artist.
He continued to receive accolades for his 2015 album, To Pimp a Butterfly, and
his 2017 follow-up, DAMN; both won Grammys for Best Rap Album, while DAMN also
made history as the first of its genre to earn a Pulitzer Prize.
Kendrick Lamar has stated that Tupac Shakur, The Notorious B.I.G.,
Jay-Z,
Nas, and
Eminem are his top five favorite
rappers. Tupac Shakur is his biggest influence, and has influenced his music as
well as his day-to-day lifestyle. In a 2011 interview with Rolling Stone, Lamar
mentioned Mos Def and
Snoop Dogg as rappers
that he listened to and took influence from during his early years.
He also cites now late rapper DMX as an influence: "[DMX] really got me started
on music," explained Lamar in an interview with Philadelphia's Power 99. "That
first album [It's Dark and Hell Is Hot] is classic, so he had an influence on
me." He has also stated Eazy-E as an influence in a post by Complex
saying: "I Wouldn't Be Here Today If It Wasn't for Eazy-E."
In a September 2012 interview,
Kendrick Lamar stated rapper
Eminem "influenced a lot of my
style" and has since credited Eminem
for his own aggression, on records such as "Backseat Freestyle".
Lamar also gave Lil Wayne's
work in Hot Boys credit for influencing his style and praised his longevity.
He has said that he also grew up listening to
Rakim, Dr. Dre, and Tha
Dogg Pound. In January 2013, when asked to name three rappers that have played a
role in his style, Lamar said: "It's probably more of a west coast influence. A
little bit of Kurupt, [Tupac],
with some of the content of Ice
Cube." In a November 2013 interview with GQ, when asked "The Four MC's
That Made Kendrick Lamar?", he answered Tupac Shakur, Dr. Dre,
Snoop Dogg and Mobb
Deep, namely Prodigy.
Kendrick Lamar professed to having been influenced by jazz trumpeter Miles Davis and
Parliament-Funkadelic during the recording of To Pimp a Butterfly.
