Prolific Quotes From Your Favorite Rappers: Hear what Kendrick Lamar says on ego

Kendrick Lamar

On removing the ego: “It’s one thing we’ll keep coming back to: remove the ego. I promise you, that’s the most valuable thing I’ve learned.

Ego and pride can mess up a lot of relationships, and it can mess you up internally in so many different ways. It crossed over into so many aspects, not just in music — in relationships, communication, and how you’re received in this business.

Everybody comes into this business with a mindset of not wanting to get close to someone, because they may cross you. While the business does have its pros and cons, it’s about knowing how to balance both sides, which has everything to do with ego.” —Kendrick Lamar
