Kendrick Lamar is nominated for an impressive 11 Grammy awards and wants to take them all home. The
28-year-old rapper leads this year's awards with the most nods
while Taylor Swift and The Weeknd follow behind with seven each. 'I want all of them because it's not only a statement for myself but it's a statement for the culture,' Lamar explained to the New York Times:
'They're all important because of the foundation the forefathers laid before me,' the Swimming Pools singer stated.
'Nas didn't get a chance to be in that position, 2Pac. So to be acknowledged and to actually win, it's for all of them.'
He said: 'I'm just writing, writing, writing. I keep these tablets on me until I'm inspired to go back in and make the music.'
'I never take a break from my pen because I pride myself on that,' he continued.
'As
far as a break from music, yeah, I can't just go in and force myself. I
have to come from an original and organic place. It can come tomorrow;
it can come two years from now.'
The nominations were announced earlier this month ahead of the 58th ceremony on February 15 in 2016.
