Yesterday, living rap legend Kendrick Lamar was a keynote speaker at the Forbes Under 30 Summit. Kendrick dropped some serious knowledge about life and what it takes to be successful.

Overcoming fear and rappers needing to respect the culture were among the things Lamar touched upon.

K Dot also gave praise to Colin Kaepernick. In a way, he compared himself to the activist by relating the fact that he wants to be remembered for being someone who “stood for something”, just like Kaepernick. Lamar also stressed how people think Colin will stop but he still continues to stick to what he believes in.

These two will definitely always be remembered for everything that they have done for the culture.

Listen to his wise words by watching highlights of his talk below.
