His original mixtape garnered a lot of local hype for the young rapper, and he was subsequently signed to up-and coming music powerhouse Top Dawg Entertainment.

In 2011, Lamar released his first independent album “Section.80.” It was met with critical and fan acclaim alike. After that album, West Coast legends Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre referred to Kendrick as “the new king of the west coast.”

Lamar eventually went even more mainstream by signing with Interscope Records and Dr. Dre’s Aftermath Entertainment in 2012. That year, he released his second studio album “good kid, m.A.A.d city,” with more critical acclaim. It debuted at number two in the U.S.

In several interviews, Lamar has stated that he doesn’t, in fact, smoke weed. Despite having a bunch of songs that mention the act of smoking, the California rapper claims he does not indulge. In fact, he says he wasn’t even a regular smoker back before he made it big.

“I used to smoke,” Lamar said. ” wasn’t ever a dependen. A lot of people use it as a dependen, they wake up in the morning angry . It never was a dependent for me, so it never was a crutch, really.”
