Kendrick Lamar has nothing but love for Taylor Swift after learning that the pop star puts on good kid, M.A.A.D City to relax.
In a recent Rolling Stone story, Swift put headphones in after getting bombarded by fans, and explained to her interviewer:
"You want to know a trick to immediately go from feeling victimized to feeling awesome?" she said. "This is my go-to... I know every word."
The song was "Backseat Freestyle," which doesn't exactly fit snugly into Swift's musical canon. Lamar opened up on the subject — and hip-hop as a whole — after his performance at ONE MusicFest in Atlanta on Saturday night.
"Some people always try to lock it down and categorize it for one particular listener," he told the Associated Press. "But it moves all, even people from other genres.
"I appreciate Taylor Swift for supporting not only my music but just the hip-hop culture. There's really no gap. It's music and it feels good."
Kendrick was on the ONE bill with Nas, Method Man, Redman, Jhene Aiko and several more stars.
While a T-Swift collabo is probably not in the works, we're expecting more info about his super-hyped follow-up to M.A.A.D City soon.
K. Dot recently announced he will be headlining a show in the Bermuda Triangle this fall.
According to MTV, Ellie Goulding and Calvin Harris will also headline the event, which is being dubbed the Bacardi Triangle, hosted by Bacardi. The audience will be comprised of a combination of 1,862 guests and contest winners from more than 25 countries who will be flown out on three private jumbo jets and stay in five-star resorts in Puerto Rico from October 30 to November 2. The show itself will take place in the heart of the Bermuda Triangle on Palomino Island.
So far, there isn't much information on how to get a spot in the audience or why Bacardi decided to do this in the first place but you can check out more details on Bacardi's website.
