Kendrick Lamar Recalls Advice Eminem Gave Him: “Always Stay True to the Craft” (Video)

If there was such a thing as Instagram Hall of Fame, Kendrick Lamar and Eminem would be shoe-ins with this picture earlier this month. Catching up with MTV recently, K. Dot recalled his encounter with Slim Shady. Although there was no music recorded, the Black Hippy said he soaked up game during the pair’s brief and unplanned meeting.

Always stay true to the craft, really. Everybody knows Eminem’s penmanship, it’s insane. For the most part, he focused on that as much as possible. That was the game that he was giving me and crew: always stay focused on the craft and not indulge in all the other crazy stuff that comes around.
