Kendrick Lamar Talks To DJ Whoo Kid About Working With Dr. Dre & Snoop Dogg


Kendrick Lamar called in to DJ Whoo Kid's Shade 45 for an in depth interview about his career and his aspirations. During their ten minute chat, K Dot revealed that his debut should come out at the end of the summer and announced that he and Dr. Dre have recorded at least 30 tracks.

On Dr. Dre calling in to Power 106 for the premiere of "The Recipe":
“Dre said something on air that I didn’t even know. He said, first time I came in the studio with him, I gave him the same energy that Em and Fif gave him. When somebody say that, it’s only right for me to think or at least assume that influence him to go back even more and go even harder. And that’s dope to be a young cat to get inspired from that and him even getting inspired from me…I’m real appreciate about it.”
On possible collaborations with A$AP Rocky: 
“Oh yeah definitely, we got something cooking up, you know. That’s just off the record, that’s just a good dude. We really got to post up and chill out on that Drake tour man. We consider them like family. ASAP/TDE dig that.”
On working with Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre:
“You know it’s crazy, I have not yet to lock all the way in with Snoop yet. I want to save that for last … I probably have 30 records with Dre bro...For Detox, I locked in with Snoop and Dre, and that experience was crazy.”
On desire to work with R&B singers:
“Yeah, definitely, Erykah Badu. For sure. All day!”

XXL continues to give its Freshman 2012 some shine with its official mixtape hosted by DJ Whoo Kid.  Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm sensing a little favoritism here. Danny Brown only gets songs he's featured on and some artists only get one song. Meanwhile, French Montana is all over this thing.
