E-40 Says Kendrick Lamar Is “One Of The Best That Ever Did It”

E-40 opens up about his admiration for Kendrick Lamar in a new interview with HipHopDX.

The Bay Area legend explains how it felt to hear his shoutout in K. Dot’s 2012 track “Money Trees”.

“It makes me feel good,” he said. “Especially somebody of his magnitude, and he is a factor, man. That dude right there is going down in history as one of the best that ever did it, straight up. Just to hear somebody like that saying one of his favorite albums of all time, his top 25 albums, one of them was mine, Charlie Hustle: The Blueprint of a Self-Made Millionaire. It’s a beautiful thing. It make me feel good. That quote was so raw … ‘Living life like rappers do, bump that new E-40 after school.’ He said Earl Stevens, the whole woo-ha. That was one of the biggest shout-outs, ever. I love Kendrick, man.”

The West-Coast natives have been rockin’ with each other for over a decade now. E-40 says he knew Kendrick was a star back then, “ain’t no ifs, ands or buts.”
