Kendrick Lamar and Miguel graced the cover of VIBE magazine for their upcoming “Big List” issue.
You’re both carrying the torch as the leaders of the new generation. How do you define musical genius?
KENDRICK: Somebody that don’t really have any boundaries, that’s not confined to the traditional structure of a song or traditional sounds. When you listen to “Adorn,” it feels like he’s not even trying to structure a radio joint. He just felt the music, felt the instrumentation and wrote the track.
MIGUEL: Good looks, bro. My favorite artists always took whatever they loved out of music and made it their own. It was their take on it. Kendrick is one of those people where I can hear Ice Cube’s first two albums’ influence. I get the street edge, but then I hear like the poetic player, smoothness, creativity and smart street savvy of Andre on Aquemini. That juxtaposition is what I hear in Kendrick, but it’s his own take. If you listen to my shit, you’re gonna hear Prince, Marvin Gaye, Led Zeppelin or a little bit of the Beatles. That’s where I’m pulling from.

Had an off night last night, so I decided to be productive and make my studio rounds. Ended up in the studio with Chris Brown, Rihanna & Akon (shout to my man Mike G). Chris played us his whole album and man…. HE GOT SOME BANGERS!!! We were debating back and forth on what his first single should be and let me say, whatever he decides to go with, you won’t be disappointed. I seriously heard no fillers on the project. As some of you know, we recently put out The 2013 Draft Picks tape at the top of the year, so you know our next project is gonna be bigger and better. We got some great things in store for this year. Shout to Chris, Ri & Akon for always being such, cool, down to earth people. Let’s make 2013 legendary.
