New Video: Kendrick Lamar Interview w/ Nardwuar

Nardwuar is back!  Looks like he visited SXSW a week or so back and got himself a bunch of interviews.  Now the addictingly awkward Nardwuar is back with Compton’s very own Kendrick Lamar.  As most artists, Kendrick is blown away at Nardwuar’s research and knowledge of his background.  Definitely another must watch from Nardwuar.
