Video: Kendrick Lamar Tells Jimmy Fallon That He Is Glad He Didn’t Surpass Michael Jackson

Before premiering his new jawn, “Untitled 2 (Blue Faces)“, on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon“, Kendrick Lamar chopped it up with the host about his 11 Grammy nominations.

Fallon reminded him that his album, ‘To Pimp A Butterfly‘, has the most Grammy nominations for a rapper. He also took the time out to ask Kendrick if he wanted to surpass the late, great Michael Jackson’s record-setting 12 Grammy nominations for his 1982 album ‘Thriller‘ (which he won eight for that year).

Kendrick said:

“I can’t fathom being as great as Michael without putting out the work. Eleven is perfect. He’s the legendary. I’m glad it’s at twelve.”

He later takes the time out to give a fan-made Kendrick Lamar mash-up a listen…
