You are all really going off on Kendrick: it's not a pro game he's out enjoying himself and football is the best sport in the world you just need a ball and run with it."
@TheBigzy:
"I agree but he's Kendrick Lamar at the end of the day haha, he has no label pushing him to sell a certain amount because he can do that without a promo."

In his just-released Father Time track off the new album in which he's featured Sampha, Kendrick opened up about how having daddy issues has fuelled him and also held him back.
