Kendrick Lamar recently paid a visit to K104 in Dallas, Texas and sat down with radio DJ A Bay Bay and kicked a special freestyle in celebration of his 26th birthday.  Watch as K. Dot is given key words to incorporate into his rhymes and does his thing live on-the-spot for the listeners.

ScHoolboy Q was also in attendance and seated right next to Kendick as he appeared to be nodding off during the duration of the interview.  Not sure if there should be some level of concern for Q in regards to his drug intake or perhaps the TDE artist was simple tired as they are all currently on the road for the Good Kid m.A.A.d City Tour.

VIDEO: Kanye West In The Studio w/ Rick Ruben & Mike Dean Recording “I Am God”

Posted by N/A on

Here is some weird looking and short footage of the self proclaimed “God” rapper Kanye West in the studio working on the controversially titled “I Am God” track off his upcoming Yeezus album.  It appears as the final stretch before the release date approaches we are seeing more and more from West in a possible effort to do some sort of promotion at least online for the project.  The edit shows West in the studio with everything blacked out around him except Rick Ruben and Mike Dean who are seated right next to Ye as he records in the middle of the room.  I wonder what it is they don’t want us or didn’t think was important to see in the studio?  Yeezus drops on June 18.
