Kendrick Lamar Cites DMX As An Influence & Discusses Learning From Dr. Dre’s Mistakes

Kendrick Lamar says DMX played a pivotal role in the young rapper’s interest in the Hip Hop game.


Kendrick Lamar may be one of Hip Hop’s most forward-thinking emcees, but even he is willing to admit to some influences.


“[DMX] really [got me started] on music,” explained K. Dot 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].”


Kendrick Lamar also discussed his upcoming album, Good Kid, m.A.A.d City, and its personal nature.


“It’s a real intimate album, real personal album,” said Kendrick of the project. “A lot of questions that people have been asking me in interviews are answered in this album. It’s really me. It’s my life. It’s the lives I grew up with, and stories.”
