Interview with critically acclaimed rapper and Pulitzer Prize winner Kendrick Lamar from the "Good Kid, m.A.A.d City"-era (Part 1).
Born and raised in legendary Compton, California, Kendrick shares his craziest, most impactful childhood memories - a 2Pac and Dr. Dre video shoot that changed his life and a vivid memory of the 1992 uprising that followed the Rodney King incident. He also speaks about police brutality and Trayvon Martin, supporting Barack Obama, working with other artists (such as Mary J. Blige) and Black empowerment: How do hip-hop and soul culture impact Black identity? And where does Kendrick see his role within the West Coast tradition?
