"The moment I made that decision to..." - Quote by Kendrick Lamar

“You can't have people listen to you unless you come to their world and then bring them to yours.”

“I live this life at a pace that anyone can go.Know your place, and dedicate your role...To the faith that you'll die alone”

“My whole thing is to inspire, to better people, to better myself forever in this thing that we call rap, this thing that we call hip hop.”

“My whole thing is to inspire, to better people, to better myself forever in this thing that we call rap, this thing that we call hip hop.”

“The thing about hip-hop is they always want to classify you as one particular artist, but hip-hop is about going outside the box and expressing yourself however you want to.”

“The thing about hip-hop today is it's smart, it's insightful. The way they can communicate a complex message in a very short space is remarkable.”

“On 'Grey's Anatomy' I wouldn't care what I was playing - I would play a corpse, 'cause I love it that much. It is deep true love, and it will never die.”

“A farmer, a hunter, a soldier, a reporter, even a philosopher, may be daunted; but nothing can deter a poet, for he is actuated by pure love. Who can predict his comings and goings? His business calls him out at all hours, even when doctors sleep.”

“I know you've heard it a thousand times before. But it's true - hard work pays off. If you want to be good, you have to practice, practice, practice. If you don't love something, then don't do it.”
