GQ' magazine Names Kendrick Lamar ''Rapper of the Year."

From Kendrick Lamar's "Good Kid, M.A.A.D. City," his first-person LP examination of the callous realities of growing up in the drug and gang ministered streets of Compton, to the "Control" verse that sent the hip-hop community sputtering to its knees, one thing has been clear: 2013 is the year of King Kendrick.
And with GQ's release of its 18th annual Men of the Year issue, the magazine saw fit to place the crown upon his head, naming Lamar as "Rapper of the Year."
In an interview with GQ's Steve Marsh, Kendrick recalled being 21 years old and the night that fundamentally altered his perception of his artistic objective:

"I was coming from a late studio session, sleeping on Mom's couch. I'm 26 now -- it wasn't that long ago. I remember being tired, tripping from the studio, lying down, and falling into a deep sleep and seeing a vision of Pac talking to me. Weirdest shit ever. I'm not huge on superstition and all that shit. That's what made it so crazy. It can make you go nuts. Hearing somebody that you looked up to for years saying, 'Don't let the music die.' Hearing it clear as day. Clear as day. Like he's right there. Just a silhouette." The visit from Pac changed Kendrick's connection to the world he was chronicling in his music and compelled him to think more carefully about who was listening to it. "It wasn't just about money, hos, clothes, drinkin'," he explains. "I mean, I come from that world, but at the same time, I started to realize that there's people out there that can't really connect to that lifestyle. They're in the struggle."

How many of you agree with what Akon said?

Akon who is a known polygamist said in a recent interview that monogamy is not only 'stupid'; it’s 'impossible.'

"The average guy in the world has a main girl and they got a side chick. And then they got a jumpoff. At the end of the day as a male we are natural breeders by nature. We can’t even escape it if we wanted to. 

Let’s say you put 1,000 guys on one corner and one bad chick walk passed. You gon’ see 1,000 heads go, ‘Damn.’ They don’t even know why they doing it. They’re natural breeders. It’s in their genes, they can’t help it. Men are put on this earth to breed and the reason why God put multiple women on this earth is for that. 

People are having relationships, boyfriend and girlfriend, and treating it like it’s actually marriage. You’re just dating.  

The whole purpose of dating is so you can date this one, and date this one, and date this one until you find out, ‘Okay, this is the person I want to spend the rest of my life with. Okay now, I commit to what’s called marriage.’  

You find that one woman that supplies everything that you desire in a woman, of course that will be a motivation to stick with that one woman, but I don’t know no one woman that can satisfy every man’s one need. It’s impossible. Just like there’s no man that can satisfy a woman’s every need. Women just aren’t built to breed like that or… mate with more than one partner. Women aren’t built that way, men are.”
