Recently, the American rapper talks about his latest release, Section 80, Wu-Tang Clan’s influence and rumored collaboration with J. Cole. In an interview with 90.5M KSJS, he explained, “These cities I’ve been going to, everybody been real receptive to it. All the people in high school…when I go back in these schools today, they look at me like I’m a savior of music – of our generation’s music. That makes me feel like ‘mission accomplished.”
Kendrick also shared his views on the apparent influence of Wu-Tang Clan on his music career. He stated: “Just that raw element of Hip Hop, you know. To do what I want to do, and to have my own voice. That was a group of individuals that had each individual sound. Nobody sounded like each other, and everybody went for self and did what they wanted to do. And that’s Hip Hop. Being yourself and expressing yourself.”
The famed hip-hop artist also explained about his latest achievement with the album Section 80. He enthused: “We got the music. We just gotta find and situate ourselves and sit down, because he got an album out. Great album. …And he’s touring off it it. I put Section.80 out, and I’m touring off of that. It’s just about sitting down and actually composing all the music we’ve got together.”
