  • Kendrick Lamar's Producer Terrance Martin Says Why the Rapper Won't Perform New Album Songs

    Kendrick Lamar has been at the top of his game for a while now. After releasing the masterful Good Kid, m.A.A.d. City in 2012, the Compton rapper earned a reputation for his musicality, lyrical capabilities, and knack for storytelling. The album follows the young rapper's life, from his childhood through the present, as he navigates the moral complexities of life in Compton. Good Kid earned massively positive reviews, and earned the number one spot on many "album of the year" lists. Kendrick followed the massive success of his debut album with To Pimp A Butterfly. Although the album spawned less hits than his debut, Kendrick earned himself a long list of accolades for his sophomore effort. Although the response from fans and critics has been overwhelmingly positive, To Pimp a Butterfly producer Terrance Martin says Kendrick may never perform the songs from this album again.
