10 Things From The Kendrick Lamar Whoolywood Shuffle

Kendrick Lamar’s NYC blitzkrieg of radio press reached his zenith when he crash landed on The Whoolywood Shuffle with the always entertaining DJ Whoo Kid.

The extended G-Unit family member hilariously kept trying to throw K. Dot off his game with side silliness but there were still plenty of gems to be absorbed in the half-hour sitdown.

The game’s top MC revealed some eyebrow-raising details of his upcoming second album, hanging with LeBron James and another unlikely celebrity as well as the back story behind his current appearance.

Check out the top highlights from the Kendrick Lamar Whoolywood Shuffle interview in the slideshow below.

Bringing Back The Funk

Kendrick confirmed that he and George Clinton “vibed out” on a couple of joints that will be released in the near future. After tackling the Isley Brothers’ record, the Black Hippy MC’s old soul is showing in full.

A 10-Year-Old Is Running This Rap Ish

The only person with a copy of the new album is his little brother. (“That’s my A&R right there. He has a sophisticated ear.”) Does that mean he’s about to pull a Beyoncé?

Good Kid, Market Value

Knowing that his 2012 studio debut is considered a classic, Kendrick doesn’t want to be pulled too thin regarding his creativity. “I gotta be drawing some sort of inspiration to do what I do,” he explains. “I’m not in that ballpark where I’m gonna write 100-200 bar raps.”

A Prison Bar Of Hope

While you’re free to sing along with the uplifting message of “i,” Kendrick says it’s dedicated to those doing serious time who feel they’re “not worth sh*t anymore” and the suicidal ones.

Mr. Big Still Got It

Kendrick actually flew out to St. Louis to get permission from Ron Isley to clear the sample for “i” and he impressed the young rapper with his added vocals on the record.

Paid In Full

There were no insinuations of Drake on Jay Rock’s new single, “Pay For It” so don’t reach, struggle rap journalists.

Expect To Not Expect Anything

Kendrick can’t stress enough that even with his recent–and upcoming–funk collaborations, you can’t predict the direction that the new album is going to go in.

Simba Props

While Kendrick and Drake are the leading household names of rap, K. Dot was quick to point out J. Cole gets busy just as good as the both of them. The “Control” list has shrunk considerably.

Woody’s World

Can you imagine Woody Harrelson and K. Dot smoking blunts and kicking it heavy? You just may see that on his upcoming appearance on SNL.

Wild Hair, Don’t Care

Blame Kendrick’s new scruffy look on his work ethic in the studio. (“It’s uncute Kendrick; I don’t want any girls to like me.”)
