The California Senate Recognizes Kendrick Lamar As A ‘Generational Icon’

[Deepcover]

A big day for music artist Kendrick Lamar. While Kanye was in Chicago receiving his honorary doctorate from the School of Art Institute of Chicago, California State Senator Isadore Hall of the 35th District awarded Kendrick Lamar with the 35th Generational Icon Award. K. Dot was recognized for his countless efforts and donations to the Compton Unified School District and other non-profit organizations in his community. While most rappers would have made this a big media spectacle, Kendrick quietly and humbly accepted his award — and called it a day.

Kanye is the worst rapper in the business IMO. Everything sounds exactly the same, same tempo and melody (if you can call it that) and he's just whack. Kendrick is better but I don't get the hype. But he has given back in a big way. He puts not only money but his time into the kids in the neighborhood he came from and wants to be an example. Good for him

I had to check some of Kendrick's tracks before I could write something about him. I don't think that it is even fair to compare him to somebody like Kanye West - but I will try to set this into perspective, all the same. Kanye West really is more of a hypemachine, and his continuing clownish activities are so far away from a true rap artist like Kendrick that we should shun West.

It really shines a bright light about this man that he takes part in this Senate event and accept the award graciously and quietly. This is a man who is more about doing things about his town, not leeching every second and everybody for his own personal gain.

He can't - and won't stop there. The least is Professor. And Godfather, of course. Well, for Beyoncé's kid, of course, which is not surprising, taking his fixation on her in account.

That ain't bad! Now if we could fit in the fixation on the "Piece" in it...
