Se även dubbelvideon "U + For Sale? (God Is Gangsta)" som släpptes precis innan nyår!

Senaste veckorna har vi kunnat ta del av en lång rad olika topplistor för det gångna musikåret 2015. Ett flertal medier, skribenter och lyssnare har unisont hyllat Kendrick Lamar’s album “To Pimp A Butterfly” som en av årets bästa skivor.

Vilka favoriter har K. Dot själv då från 2015?

I en intervju med New York Times berättar Compton-rapparen att han själv spelat främst Drake och Future under det gångna året.

 

What was your favorite rap music of this year?

Of course Future killed it. He smashed. Drake smashed. Future’s work ethic was crazy, his energy. This is the thing about hip-hop music and where people get it most misconstrued: It’s all hip-hop. You can’t say that just what I do is hip-hop, because hip-hop is all energies. James Brown can get on the track and mumble all day. But guess what: You felt his soul on those records.
 

 
So you don’t buy this separation between “real hip-hop” and party records?

No, I don’t. If it makes you feel good, and it makes you move — I don’t know these guys personally. I don’t know what makes them move on a personal level. I can’t knock it. It feels good when I listen to it, when I’m in that vibe. You feel it. You can get the highest level of that — you can get Future — or you can get the watered-down version, somebody else trying to be that. That’s the bad [expletive].
