Kendrick Lamar recently shared the biggest "misconception" about himself during an unusual interview with actor Timothée Chalamet.
The conversation, held ahead of Kendrick's landmark Super Bowl halftime performance, delved into their distinct artistic processes. A short clip from their discussion, released on February 7, showcased Kendrick reflecting on his creative journey in the studio while cruising with Chalamet in a 1987 Buick Grand National, the inspiration behind his latest album, GNX.
During the interview, Kendrick revealed, “That’s probably one of the biggest misconceptions about me as an artist. I’m always locked in and I’m always trying new things. Now, whether or not I like them [laughs] is a whole other conversation.”
He elaborated on how staying productive helps him maintain his sanity and understand himself better. “When you write, you have to sit and go through the emotions and be vulnerable about it, whether it’s a fun song or a sad song or it got some type of depth. This is your personality pushing through.”
Kendrick also spoke about GNX track "Man at the Garden," calling it the "easiest" song he's ever written, and emphasized its significance in communicating his message.
