by Kendrick Lamar.

Or at least him and his camp were listening to a lot of what I assume was TPAB ....

I listened to the album for the fourth or fifth time after learning
of this piece of news and I can hear def hear little hints of influence. kinda fascinating that a 69 year old white man, who don't get it twisted... loved black music and always championed it...
and was a man who knew his limitations so when he wanted to do a Philly soul record, he went and found the best and brightest to
help craft...

so it's no surprise well maybe a little... that he was fascinated
by Kendrick's album...

just a cool little connection imo.
