    Kendrick Lamar: Season 2 Ep 13

    K. Dot has 17 Grammys to his name, 29 BET Hip-Hop awards, is the only rapper EVER to win a Pulitzer Prize. He’s a generational artists to say the least. In his lyrics he talks a lot about his personal struggles growing up in Compton, like: his sex addiction, alcoholism, & poverty-stricken upbringing. Thankfully, he’s managed to overcome many of those, even having a family with his high school sweetheart, Whitney Alford. On today’s episode we’ll be talking about his musical career and what we can take away from his personal growth as well. Even though he’s on top of the world now he’s still a person, and we can learn a lot from his example. Good Kid, M.A.A.D.

    The Music Industry

    The music industry has changed more drastically than ever in recent years. Artists like Drake, Ice Spice, & Kendrick Lamar have become the image of what music is today, and I think that comes with an imbalance of pros & cons. In this episode I talk about what's going on and where I project the music industry to go. I also talk about its past and huge artists like Ms. Lauryn Hill, Prince, & Frank Ocean who have defined genres. Enjoy!
