After blowing pretty much every relevant hip-hop artist out of the water with his atomic bomb of a verse on Big Sean’s ‘Control’, Kendrick Lamar has been soaking up the limelight recently and even made an appearance on last night’s edition of U.S talk show, Chelsea Lately.
Lamar (aka the “cute little nugget”, according to host Chelsea Handler) spoke about his ‘Control’ verse, explaining that he was just being competitive.
He also touched upon Miley Cyrus’ recent VMA performance. “It was shocking I definitely was interested”.
