Kendrick Lamar is a platinum-selling artist, a leading light of hip-hop, and a cultural icon. He's also, thanks to the California State Senate, an official icon. Earlier this week the government body declared Lamar a "Generational Icon" for his artistic, charitable, and community efforts. In recognition of his work, the rapper was invited onto the Senate floor to speak and receive an oversized framed document.
So proud of him. Kendrick is really the artist that has consumed me most since The Beatles. Really, he has probably surpassed Eminem in my book as far as my list of favorites is concerned. Can't wait to see him this summer.
