Kendrick Lamar Speaks On His Legacy

by HHL JT

If you go by sales and cultural impact, it looks like Kendrick Lamar's career has already peaked.

But it's been quite a run for the 35-year old and he spoke on his legacy during an interview with young journalist Jazzy at Rolling Loud.

"Really just an impact to inspire people and always showing them that the duality of life is not such a bad thing,” he said. “We go through so many volatile situations where we don’t really know how to connect or communicate how we feel so through my music, I wanna make sure that’s the legacy; showing people how to communicate and it’s okay, you know, if you’re not perfect, you know. It’s about accepting the beauty of imperfection.

"Do you, be yourself and make sure you love being yourself," he continued. "It’s gonna be roadblocks, there’s gonna be tribulations but always remember this is a life experience. Accept the experience, appreciate the experience and learn how to move on from things that don’t serve you well. You know, and find your journey, respect your journey and love it.”
