Kendrick Lamar Thanks President Obama for Bringing Hip-Hop to the White House

Barack Obama's time as our president is coming to a heartbreaking end, and pals like Kendrick Lamar are thanking him for all of the incredible things he's done. In an interview with XXL, the Compton artist explained why "the world, not just hip-hop, owes him ... for even allowing us into the building."

Lamar continued:

"We would probably never get inside that house ever again. Rick RossColeNicki Minaj, he really went for us to come experience it. This is something our grandparents always wanted to see, never thought in a million years, but [we can] pass it down to our generation to say, ‘Alright, I’m in here and I’m finna use my power to let ya’ll see how this thing works and I’mma drop some knowledge on y’all that a man can’t drop on everybody else ’cause y’all have the most influence.’"
