Had a conversation with my sis about someone she knew who was being really mean to her. Just saying and doing hurtful things… This woman finally came to her crying explaining how she was not happy at home and was experiencing an unfulfilled marriage. This woman went to the very person she hurt (my sis) for help. My sister could have easily looked at this woman crazy and walked away… But clearly there was a bigger picture there… Because this woman was broken, hurt and sad, she lashed out at the people around her. My sister said something to me that made so much sense…”hurt people hurt people.” A lot of times the people who hurt us are broken and dealing with unresolved issues. Because of that they unintentionally hurt those around them. Before we lash back at these people, take a minute and see if there is something you can do to help them. Don’t judge them based off of their actions because you don’t know what their story is. A simple loving gesture could possibly be what they need to help them become whole again. Love. #love ❤

I am here for this Q.U.E.E.N.dom.

  • BADU: How do you choose chicks from backstage?
  • LAMAR: How do I choose chicks from backstage?
  • BADU: Yeah, what is the protocol?
  • LAMAR: I try not to. [laughs] I’m too scared. Anybody who knows me knows that I’m probably the most scared person when it comes to that because I’m so caught up in the act of sex, of something going crazy, going out of my control. I’m too paranoid.
  • BADU: [laughs] So you just pass?
  • LAMAR: I’ve got to because I’ve seen a situation where it got totally out of hand, where something seemed so innocent, and now this person has got allegations on them. It spooked me. This was before my career really started, though—before any “Kendrick Lamar.” And that right there? It changed my whole perception about certain things. I’ll always keep that in the back of my head.
  • BADU: So who is your asshole-checker?
  • LAMAR: Who is my what?
  • BADU: Your asshole-checker—the person in your crew or your family who let’s you know if you’re being a asshole.
  • LAMAR: I have two, actually. [both laugh] But the main one is a friend of mine—a lady friend who has known me since high school. She has always been someone, since day one, who has said something whenever I’m an asshole, or also if I’m doin’ something positive—but more so when I’m out of my element.
  • BADU: What’s your favorite cereal?
  • LAMAR: Fruity Pebbles. When people ask for my rider, they think I’m crazy: Fruity Pebbles, baked chicken, bottle of Hennessy, and some Polo socks.
  • BADU: What do you, as a man, envy about what it means to be a woman?
  • LAMAR: There’s just a certain knowledge instilled in a woman. There are these things that women have that men just can’t grasp: the understanding of love; the understanding of being; having a certain type of care in your heart and knowing when to be compassionate; knowing how to be a confidante…
  • BADU: That’s a good perspective. Something I envy that men have is that ability to grow a goatee. I think that’d be really hot on me.

That person did what to you? They did WHAT?! …. Love them anyway. Doesn’t quite make sense huh? Listen to what Jesus had to say…. “But I say, love your enemies! Pray for those who persecute you! In that way you will be acting as true children of your Father in heaven…. If you love only those who love you, what good is that? … If you are kind to only your friends, how different are you from anyone else? Even (non-Christians) do that. But you are to be perfect, even as your Father in heaven is perfect.” - Matthew 5:44-48 
Don’t seek revenge, let God handle that. Love. Because Jesus asks us to. #love #loveadvocate ❤
