Kendrick Lamar was recently featured on The Coveteur, which saw the Reebok collaborator speaking on fashion, style and culture…he also revealed that an early influence was none other than Lil Wayne:
Yeah, man, we was heavy. That’s a real story like, we was just huge, still to this day, huge Lil Wayne fans. Lil Wayne is the greatest. Not only because of his music but also because of the culture he put behind it. It was a big part of what he was talking about, so we always hold Lil Wayne in high regards. Juvenile as well. And yeah, it’s the impact of them man. To be a part of it the same way he was a part of it years later is just a great feeling.
Wayne has even responded to the interview via Twitter:
Kendrick Lamar a real one #Respek
