After Taylor Swift praised his music during an interview with Rolling Stone, Kendrick Lamar decided to voice his appreciation.
When talking to the infamous publication, the country/pop singer revealed that "Backseat Freestyle," a record featured on Lamar's Grammy-nominated album "Good Kid, M.A.A.D City," is her "go-to" jam. Furthermore, Swift said the rapper's music makes her feel "awesome" instead of "victimized."
Lamar thinks Swift's admiration for his music is proof that hip-hop isn't closed off to one type of listener.
"Some people always try to lock it down and categorize it for one particular listener," Lamar said this past Saturday night at the fifth annual ONE Musicfest in Atlanta. "But it moves all, even people from other genres."
Lamar stresses that no matter the genre, music is music.
"I appreciate Taylor Swift for supporting not only my music but just the hip-hop culture," he said. "There's really no gap. It's music and it feels good."
