We are all one in the same, but our reasoning makes us take very different routes. Just know that you aren't defined by what you think you cant do. You're just as intelligent as the people you look up to, you may just need an outlet to share that intelligence. I encourage everyone to share this mindset.

      Mariah&WhitneyLamb Books aren’t the only source of knowledge. Kendrick himself said he rather talk to people instead of reading books. It’s about experience, love it or hate it, mainstream music now is super easy, it doesn’t actually require any effort and that’s why people put too little effort for the money only. That’s why the majority don’t respect them. You see people like Kendrick and you know he has a genuine passion for his craft, he obviously still does it for money, but he put effort to make a good product that will survive the challenge of time and not ear candy that will wear off in a week or so.

    It’s funny Kendrick says he’s the biggest kid of them all because you can see it when he talks about music. He gets this twinkle in his eye and this smile on his face like he’s just so happy and full of curiosity just like a kid would be. He has an unmistakable wariness to him that makes you wanna engage with him. Such a layered guy. One of my favorite artists of all time

    Incredible how Rick Rubin with his wealth of music experience in all genres can genuinely be so interested in everything Kendrick is saying and even when Kendrick talks about being a minimalist, Rick doesn't come in telling him about how Rick has been doing that for decades and just let's him speak.

    😍😍 Kendrick is so amazingly humble. So talented. My son introduced his music to me, when he was in high school. I was in my 40’s and I love his music, and love him as person.

    in my opinion Kendrick is a great lyricist because he's great at speaking and explaining, and Rick is a great producer because he's great at listening to others and asking curious questions

      Kendick was conducting the syllables with his hand, and considering he was talking about being able to spit over 100 bars off the top of his head with any topic, the close up on his hand just showed how conversation is a part of his music.
