The Movement

You have to put in work to be the leader of a movement. Kendrick Lamar has been doing his thing since 2003 when he came out with Youngest Headd Nigga in Charge. He is also a part of one of the hottest music movements to come out of the city of Compton since NWA. He is a member of hip hop super group Black Hippy, which includes West Coast rappers and label mates Jay Rock, Schoolboy Q & Ab-Soul. They are unapologetically reppin’ a coast that for a time had been dormant nationally. Kendrick and the Black Hippies have wowed audiences and created a dynamic culture that is real to their hood. Kendrick has also gained the respect of his Hip Hop peers from not only the West Side, but throughout the rap world. Dr. Dre, The Game, Drake, Young Jeezy, Talib Kweli, Busta Rhymes, E-40, Warren G, Bun B, Tech N9ne and Lil Wayne are all artists that are rocking with Lamar. It seems Lamar is the head of his class as we look back to his inclusion in XXL Magazine’s annual Freshman Class, that featured CyHi the Prynce, Meek Mill, Mac Miller, Yelawolf, Lil B, Big K.R.I.T. and Diggy Simmons among others. We can only wait and see how much of a leader in this new hip hop movement he becomes.
