Kendrick Lamar's quotes

Groups break up because they never got across what they wanted to do personally, and they have creative differences, and egos start to clash.
People are used to music that justifies street culture but something that's not touched on is why these kids act the way they act, live the way they live.
The worst part of success is, to me, adapting to it. It's scary.
I'm Machiavelli's offspring, I'm the king of New York, king of the coast, one hand, I juggle them both.
I knew I was blessed with a gift of having both parents.
People gonna be they own individuals and have they own worlds and I can't knock it.
At first, I was scared to show fear because you can never be sure how people will perceive you. But I dared myself to do that, to stand out. Now I'll talk about being beaten up or robbed or making a stupid decision because of a girl or whatever.
It's a great, great experience to finally get the reception that you know you rightfully deserve.
I always tell people that if I move anywhere it would be Toronto.
I think my vice would be outdoing myself.
I'm constantly thinking.
I learned, when I look in the mirror and tell my story, that I should be myself and not peep whatever everybody is doing.
I'm sticking to the script, I'm putting that organic feeling back in the game.
It's easy to forget who you are.
As long as my music is real, it's no limit to how many ears I can grab.
I like to let things breathe.
God to me is love.
When you go on your Twitter or look down your Timeline and it's all great positivity - I love that. But at the same time, it can really divert you from what your purpose is or what you're trying to do. And I've seen artists get caught up in that.
The best thing is to always keep honest people around, because when you have a bunch of yes men around that know that you're making a mistake but let you go on with it, that's when it ruins your mind state as an artist.
My mom's one of 13 siblings, and they all got six kids, and till I was 13 everybody was in Compton.
If I'm gonna tell a real story, I'm gonna start with my name.
My whole thing is to inspire, to better people, to better myself forever in this thing that we call rap, this thing that we call hip hop.
I'm putting out this free music, constantly putting it out.
From the moment I started writing raps, I was always aware of the pressure. I always wanted to live up to how huge Snoop got, how huge Dre got, how huge Pac got. I was always aware.
I don't vote. I don't do no voting.
I can't help the way you was born if you was gay.
I had to come from something, come from a place that was negative and positive but the majority of it is a negative place.
My pops and my mom started playing Marvin Gaye and the Isley Brothers and all these people, but at the same time, they always had Snoop on right behind it in the same mix.
I always felt like there was a certain standard of music that I had to do from the beginning, even when I didn't have the recognition that I have now.
I'm selfish.
My folks ain't graduated from high school or nothing like that, so we always had to struggle in the family - and I come from a big family.
I don't really believe in the type of pressure that people are wanting to put on the type of music that I make.
