KENDRICK LAMAR X TIMOTHEE CHALAMET INTERVIEW

from In The Groove · host Marcus Mwangi

Kendrick Lamar and Timothée Chalamet in a black Buick GNX, trading thoughts on creativity, failure, and what it takes to keep the momentum alive. Kendrick says, “I gotta keep the pen moving. It’s my form of sanity,” breaking down how writing helps him discover parts of himself he wouldn’t have found otherwise. Timothée, a lifelong fan, calls acting without an audience “a form of insanity” and talks about shaking off self-consciousness before stepping in front of the camera. They don’t just talk—they rap. Kendrick hypes Timothée as he tackles lines from “The Heart Pt. 2” and “Kush & Corinthians,” proving he’s more than just an admirer of the craft. With the Super Bowl halftime show on the horizon and “Not Like Us” fresh off a Grammy sweep, Kendrick is locked in, ready to bring storytelling to the biggest stage. And with “The Grand National Tour” featuring SZA just ahead, this moment feels like the start of something even bigger. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
