Despite achieving the height of his stardom against the backdrop of the social media boom, Kendrick Lamar‘s success has largely been attained without it.
Instead, immaculate lyricism and potent performances have fuelled the ascend of the Compton-bred MC.
In a new cover feature for the New York Times Magazine, K.Dot – who appears beside pgLang co-founder and his longtime collaborator Dave Free – expands on his muted approach to social media.
Full story below…
Lamar, whose new album ‘Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers’ topped charts worldwide and is currently nominated for multiple GRAMMYs including Album of the Year, told the publication:
“My social media, most of the time, is completely off. Because I know, like … I can easily smell my own [expletive].

He said a whole bunch of nothing lol.
We get it Kendrick, you’re deep and elusive. People w/o social media think they have a PHD in maturity or something. 🤣
I still think he’s talented though lol
No he said everything. He said, and I’ll translate, “I don’t need to go on social media and boast how good I am. I let my art speak for itself.”
Basically he ain’t no Kanye “stuck up my ***” West.
Cause he always lying faking like he still broke.. in pictures Kendrick been a fake rapper
And Crackney was always a fake recovered addict.
I’m like Michael Jackson leave me the f*** alone
Flopney Heroin
Rapping is a skill not a talent. 🤲
God never invisioned Rapping 🙏
Praise Jesus. 👏
If Jesus loved me, he’d swallow….
Nobody noticed who do you think he is 50 cent. Haha haha haha
He’s not a publicity ho or on social media, because he is actually incredibly talented, unlike Kuntye, who can’t do anything without the help of 15 producers & a dozen co-writers.
Who cares bout this flop? It’s a White men’s world💅🏾 Diva was worshiping my handsome White man’s big thick pink d this afternoon. Diva even let him c u m m I n g down my golden throat. Black men will never 🍆 Diva ain’t swallow Black men’s c u m, sorry
