I won't lie to you, this was a fucking challenge to put together with a new baby in the house & sleep having booked a one way flight to somewhere far far away.
Took me quite a while to do & was naturally later than I had hoped.
If you haven't seen it yet, have a ganders below:
ScHoolboy Q recalls everything Kendrick Lamar did for him:
“Dot gave me so much confidence. Dot made me a rapper. Dot saved my life. I owe a lot to Dot.
Kendrick & Ali, pulled me to the side [and said] you slipping, you ain’t on your game. [We’re] really about music around here…
Top wanted to get rid of me [at one point]. Dot saved me. He made me his hype man. He would tell me to come to the studio all the time, ‘We in the studio, we in the studio. You got your verse ready?”
Q would later go on to discuss how Kendrick would bring him to the studio with Dr. Dre: “Dre was initially interested in Kendrick & then everytime he went to [work] with Dre, he would tell me to pull up. I was like his little sidekick.
Next thing you know, Dre hearing my s—t. And then I get my deal bc of Dre really. What I’m saying is, Kendrick kept pulling me, kept pulling me & kept pulling me.”
