(GEMS RADIO)—Dr. Dre is calling Kendrick Lamar a “forever artist”.
Dre signed Kendrick to his Aftermath label in 2012. During a recent episode of Kevin Hart’s Hart to Heart talk show Dre explains why.
“I can’t take credit for Kendrick Lamar,” he said. “Kendrick Lamar is a real muthafuckin’ artist, the true definition of the word. The only thing I can take credit for is opening the door for him because he’s done everything himself — him and [his manager] Dave Free.”
He added: “We have a fantastic relationship. He’s amazing, man. Kendrick is one of those artists that we call ‘forever artists.’ He could disappear for fucking five years or something like that and come back and fuck our heads up, you know?
“Some artists feel like, ‘I have to do something all the time so I won’t be forgotten.’ That’s not him. He can disappear and come back with something that’s shocking, that’s amazing and everyone’s gonna tune in and listen.”
Dre adds Eminem and Snoop Dogg to that list as well. Dre says that hip hop keeps evolving.
