Kendrick Lamar lands on the cover of Complex's August/September 2014 issue. Topics covered in the cover story include the Compton emcee charging $250,000 for a guest verse and once receiving $400,000 to lay down vocals, the Macklemore Grammy Awards controversy, his recording process, hoping to top Good Kid, M.A.A.D City and more.
On Macklemore's The Heist winning Best Rap Album over GKMC
“It wasn’t really a huge deal for me. Macklemore deserves the accolades. That’s still my partner regardless. He probably didn’t need to Instagram the text. But what’s done is done.”
On recording 30 to 40 songs for his next album and trying to surpass GKMC
“If I keep focusing on, ‘I need to make something better than good kid,’ it’s going to be just that,” says Kendrick. “That’s not challenging yourself. I don’t want to become that person reflecting on what has been done. What I’m doing now is the question. I’m only as good as my last word, my last hook, my last bridge.”
The new album will arrive this year. Production will come from Top Dawg Entertainment's in-house producers, Tae Beast, Sounwave of Digi+Phonics and Dr. Dre.
