Kendrick Lamar’s biggest fan comes from an unlikely source. Last week, the Twittersphere was buzzing when Lady Gaga tweeted she was a fan of Lamar’s music. Returning from overseas, the pop star made an unexpected visit to watch her fellow Interscope Records labelmate and new friend during Day 3 of the Pitchfork Music Festival at Chicago’s Union Park on Sunday afternoon. If you missed it, stream Kendrick’s new single “Swimming Pools (Drank)” here.
UPDATE: The Source caught up with Kendrick after his set to speak on his friendship with Gaga and the possibility of a collaboration.
“That’s a real good friend… a real good friend,” explained the Compton MC. As for a possible future collaboration between the two he says, “God willing …. for now I just like the friendship thing.”

Iovine understands the power of cross marketing.. that and the fact that 85% of the fans that purchased music these days are morons, who will follow and believe what they see.. how sad.. Nevertheless much success to Lamar bcuz it is his skills that got him to where he is. Now its the machine’s turn to take him to another level..
Politics people.. Politics..

When I saw this on Twitter I thought it was genuine admiration and it possibly could be but I wouldn’t put it past Iovine to set something up like this. Kendrick’s fucking dope for the record but cross marketing will only help his sales and acceptance in my opinion
