Kendrick Lamar always made it clear how inspired he has been by Tupac Shakur. He has even written a letter, shown above, which features on Tupac’s official website.
Kendrick first saw his idol at the age of 8 when “California Love (Remix)” was being filmed, as it was shot near his home.
The same building that he was on when he first saw Tupac, Kendrick shot the “King Kunta” video on the top of that same building.
