Kid Capri Speaks on How He Inspired Kendrick Lamar While Kendrick Worked on Damn Album

Creative people can get inspiration to create from anybody or anywhere. Kendrick Lamar is one hell of  a skilled rapper, and it is interesting to know what he inspires him to write. In his recent interview with Mass Appeal, legendary New York DJ, Kid Capri spoke on how he inspired Kendrick Lamar while Kendrick was working on his album. 

During the course of the Mass Appeal interview, while Kid Capri was answering the question whether or not he and Kendrick talked about Capri's past works, he said...


"...Being that he was doing this album, and the album is really based on God, I started sending him these prayer quotes. I would send him a prayer quote everyday to get him inspired to do the rest of the album. And every other day he would hit me like, ‘This really inspired me man, that thing you sent.’ So you know, I knew it was working for him. And I hope it did something for him. But it’s just the beginning. He only dropped “Humble.,” and then he dropped the album. He’s got—it’s about to get crazy with that dude man. We talked about doing the tour. If he goes on tour I might go out with him. We talked about all that, so we’re going to see what happens." (Mass Appeal)

Kendrick Lamar May Really Have More Music Coming

There has been a theory out there that Kendrick Lamar has a second album dropping soon; like a part two to his Damn album. A lot of people believed it would drop on Sunday, but Sunday has come and gone and no new Kendrick. People said the album would be titled Nation...as in, DAM(N)ATION. You get?

Anyway, the album didn't drop, and people have gone back to their normal lives, but I have a feeling Kendrick might really have some new music he is dropping soon. Why do I think so? Kid Capri appeared on some songs on the album and was in the studio a lot with Kendrick, and during his recent interview with Mass Appeal, he said he worked on a lot more songs with Kendrick and believes TDE might be dropping a second Kendrick album soon. 

“I think they’ve got some more stuff—there are some more things—coming out later, but for right now, that’s what happened...Yes, absolutely. There’s a gang of stuff that hasn’t been used yet. That’s why I said I think he’s doing something later on, or he might be doing something for his show, but there’s a lot of stuff that I put out there.” (Mass Appeal)

Rare Hip Hop Photo: Camron, Kid Capri, and 50 Cent

Check out this rare Hip Hop pic of Camron, Kid Capri, and 50 Cent. New York STAND UP! This was probably from the 50 Cent's first coming, when he was signed to Columbia Records, back in the late 90s...before he got shot up and dropped. And then came back bigger and better.
