                           Kendrick Lamar Says "Creativity Is At A Stagnant Point" In Hip Hop


Kendrick Lamar visits "The Whoolywood Shuffle" and speaks about new music and managing expectations for his next album.
In the latest bit of promo for his new single “i,” Kendrick Lamar stopped by The Whoolywood Shuffle and spoke with DJ Whoo Kid about drawing inspiration from collaborations with Ronald Isley and George Clinton. During the sit down, Kendrick also addressed the state of Hip Hop more generally and fielded questions about new music.
Despite largely shrugging off questions about a perceived rift with Drake, Kendrick was quick to dismiss any possibility of working with the Toronto artist on music.
“We come from two different worlds, two different backgrounds,” he said. “I really don’t see that playing out as entertaining. Maybe to the people listening, but not for myself.”
Addressing the musical landscape of Hip Hop at large while speaking about the content contained within his own single, Kendrick hinted that the genre has lost a creative edge.
