Recently, there were two new endorsements that hinted at how big Los Angeles rapper Kendrick Lamar has the potential to become. The most unlikely of these was Lady Gaga’s attendance at Chicago’s Pitchfork Music Festival to watch him perform — a crazy event for any artist, let alone a rapper whose major label debut has yet to drop. The second was an interview with Killer Mike for
Impose, in which Mike, a notorious critic of contemporary hip-hop, complimented Lamar as one of the rappers who’s doing it right. As different as Killer Mike and Lady Gaga may be, it makes perfect sense that Lamar would appeal to both.
