Mum’s the word:
Kendrick Lamar’s mum is a fan of ‘DAMN.’
“this your best one to me, no bullshit.”
What’s the biggest seal of approval an artist can get? A Grammy? Critical acclaim across the board?
Nah, let’s be honest, it’s if your Mum says she’s a fan. And that’s what Kendrick Lamar’s has done.
Lamar shared a text from his Mum on Twitter, in which she says that she thinks his new record ‘DAMN.’ is his best yet. Here’s some of our favourite quotes from the text below. She’s also a dab hand with emojis.
“Album is bomb bomb bomb bomb!”
“This is your best one to me, no bullshit.”
“Boy you can make a dog laugh.”
“Lil ken ken milli rockin’ to it.”
