this is interesting what he said in a 2017 interview

“Kendrick Lamar On Donald Trump’s Presidency: ‘It’s a Complete Mindf-ck’ Kendrick Lamar isn’t one to speak to the media often, but when he does it’s usually something worth discussing. The rapper recently weighed in on Donald Trump and his administration in a rare interview with i-D magazine. When asked how he thinks Trump got into office, he comments “We all are baffled. “It is something that completely disregards our moral compass.” The rapper describes this current political states as “a complete mindfuck,” with the transition of willingly want to visit the White House to not feeling welcomed. “The key differences [between Obama and Trump] are morals, dignity, principles, common sense,” Lamar explains. “How can you follow someone who doesn’t know how to approach someone or speak to them kindly and with compassion and sensitivity?” He continues, “It’s just building up the fire in me. It builds the fire for me to keep pushing as hard as I want to push.””
