Kendrick Lamar Meets Lady Gaga
The Internet was buzzing during the Fourth of July holiday, when Lady Gaga took to her Twitter and let her over 26 million followers know that she’s a fan of Kendrick Lamar’s music.
Well, the international superstar got to meet the Compton rhyme slinger and her Interscope labelmate during Day 3 of the Pitchfork Music Festival at Union Park in Chicago on Sunday (July 15), as evidenced with a picture of the two artists together. Kendrick is seeing laughing, while Gaga (hand on her hip) seems to be enjoying the conversation in the snapshot as well.
“@kendricklamar #womenweedandweather listening to The Recipe,” Gaga would tweet in Kendrick’s direction Sunday. “Can your new album come out now so i can go out to clubs and dance again.”
She even re-tweeted K. Dot's tweet of: "The power is really in my hair nigga!!! Hahahahahahahahahaha."
The support comes after Gaga already saluted K. Dot via Twitter on July 4.
“@Kendrick Lamar What a sweetie calling me this morning to see how I’m doin,” the international superstar tweeted on the national holiday. “See you soon. love from across the pond. #Rigamortis.”
When one of her million faithful monsters asked her, “Are all of your fans gonna jump on him now?” Gaga fired back with her answer:
“I hope so. He and his lyrics are the shit.”
When XXLMag.com asked fans, ‘Will Kendrick Lamar land a collaboration with Lady Gaga?’ 56% voted ‘Yes, the fact that they’re both Interscope artists help.’
Maybe the Compton lyricist could nab that mega collaboration with the Mother Monster for his highly-anticipated album, good kid, m.A.A.d city, due in stores October 2.
Such a collabo would only up the ante from an album, which already counts solid cuts like “The Recipe,” featuring Dr. Dre and the newly-released, “Swimming Pools (Drank).”—Mark Lelinwalla
