Kendrick Lamar On How He'd Want His Legacy To Be Remembered Accepting The Beauty Of Imperfection

Mr. Morale rapper shared his vision with the 12-year reporter Jazzy World.

Kendrick Lamar’s 2022 “Big Steppers” global tour, which began this month, is currently underway in North America. The North American portion of Kendrick Lamar’s ‘Big Steppers’ world tour, which began earlier this month, is presently underway. He took the moment to chat with Jazzy’s World TV after his headline performance at Rolling Loud Miami on Sunday, July 24. Jazzy’s World TV teenage journalist Jazlyn Guerra aka Jazzy, has previously conducted interviews with celebrities like Jay-Z, Cardi B, and Lizzo.

Jazzy questioned the celebrity in the brief footage, describing her as “one of the greatest hip-hop artists ever,” about the “most significant element of your legacy that you want to be remembered.”

Lamar replied: “Really just an impact to inspire people and always showing them that the duality of life is not such a bad thing. We go through so many volatile situations where we don’t really know how to connect or communicate how we feel so through my music, I wanna make sure that’s the legacy; showing people how to communicate and it’s OK, you know, if you’re not perfect. It’s about accepting the beauty of imperfection.

“Do you, be yourself and make sure you love being yourself. It’s gonna be roadblocks, there’s gonna be tribulations but always remember this is a life experience. Accept the experience, appreciate the experience and learn how to move on from things that don’t serve you well. And find your journey, respect your journey and love it.”

Later, Jazzy entrusted Lamar with giving some “motivational words” to her audience. “Be yourself, and make sure you love being yourself,” he said. “It’s gonna be roadblocks, there’s gonna be tribulations but always remember this is a life experience. Accept the experience, appreciate the experience and learn how to move on from things that don’t serve you well. And find your journey, respect your journey and love it.”

In further conversation, Lamar commented on a video of a security officer being overwhelmed with emotion during one of his recent performances. “To see that – and shoutout to him, by the way, because I see you bro – I was like, ‘man, I wonder what he’s going through’,” he said. “At the end of the day that’s how you want everyone to receive your music, you know, make them feel good, make them feel like a moment they’re attached to can live forever.”

The Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers Tour’s North American leg resumed on Friday, July 29, in New Orleans, and it continues through September. After that, Lamar will travel internationally for a number of shows in Prague, Berlin, Paris, and other cities. On December 16, the tour comes to an end in New Zealand.
