“He just recognizes hard work”
If there’s anyone in the industry that you could pinpoint and say worked hard to get to where they’re at, it’s Kendrick Lamar. There are plenty of other artists who also followed the path of “Hard Work,” but we’ve actually witnessed the growth on this side.
From the first video we posted of his (“A Little Appalled“) until now, the boy has completely made a 180 in life from his humble beginnings in Compton and is now a worldwide phenomenon. But with success comes different problems.
You can see it in the video of some of the struggles he faces on an every day basis in the clip above, from girls hounding him for selfies to people kissing his feet wherever he goes. But one thing he tries to teach the young boy with him is that it didn’t come overnight and if he wants to attain everything he dreams of, he needs to work hard for it. It’s not just handed to you.
K Dot is going into 2016 with 11 GRAMMY nominations for To Pimp A Butterfly and after last year’s fiasco, we’re hoping he can take a handful home this time around.
