Depending on who you ask, 2017 is 100% the year of Kendrick Lamar. Having the rapper storm back and make his return seem almost effortless, Kendrick has went on to add a double platinum selling album, DAMN., to his list, earned a no. 1 single, and is currently embarking on a sold out tour across the United States.

In a rare instance these days, the rapper took some time out to sit down for an interview and gave us much more insight to who he is and what he’s all about. Covering Rolling Stone’s newest issue, Kendrick talks everything from Donald Trump, share some thoughts on rappers having ghostwriters, his favorite Drake song, and so much more.

Other than a few lyrics, you’ve been quiet about Donald Trump. Why?

I mean, it’s like beating a dead horse. We already know what it is. Are we gonna keep talking about it or are we gonna take action? You just get to a point where you’re tired of talking about it. It weighs you down and it drains your energy when you’re speaking about something or someone that’s completely ridiculous.

Is it ever OK for a rapper to have a ghostwriter? You’ve obviously written verses for Dr. Dre yourself.

It depends on what arena you’re putting yourself in. I called myself the best rapper. I cannot call myself the best rapper if I have a ghostwriter. If you’re saying you’re a different type of artist and you don’t really care about the art form of being the best rapper, then so be it. Make great music. But the title, it won’t be there.

What’s your favorite Drake song?

Favorite Drake song [chuckles]. I got a lot of favorite Drake songs. Can’t name one off the back. … He has plenty.

Enjoyable and more revealing, this one is a must-read. Check out Kendrick Lamar’s full interview with Rolling Stone, here.
