Kendrick Lamar: "Nisingekuwa hapa nilipo isingekuwa Eazy E"

Kendrick Lamar ameongea hisia zake kuhusu marehemu ambaye ni gangsta rap icon Eazy E.

Kendrick Lamar ambaye pia alishawahi kufikiria kuwa mwandishi wa habari kabla ya kuzama kwenye muziki aliandika essay kuhusu umuhimu wa rappa Eazy E katika maisha yake. 

Mapenzi ya Kendrick kwa N.W.A hayana kificho kwani alichokiandika katika essay yake hiyo amedhihirisha na ameweka wazi namna gani Eazy kumpa njia ya maisha mpka kufikia hapo alipo na kuwa fahari na mahala ama mtaa anapotokea.

Soma esay hiyo hapo chini:

What made Eazy special was that he was telling a different type of truth, a truth that wasn’t heard in music yet. Before them, rap was fun — you had your battles and whatnot, but this time around, when it came to what Eazy wanted to do, being a visionary, he had the idea of speaking the honest truth, and I think it really resonated with a lot of people because it was the shock value of, “Okay, these guys are really standing out and focused on telling their reality, no matter how pissed off you get by it.” And it got interest from people. People actually wanted to hear it and wanted to know what was going on.

I wouldn’t be here today if it wasn’t for Eazy and I wouldn’t be able to say the things that I say, talk about my community the way I talk about it, for good or for bad. He’s 100 percent influenced me in terms of really being not only honest with myself, but honest about where I come from and being proud of where I come from.
