Kendrick Lamar on the N-Word

From Rolling Stone:

Lamar also addressed the now-infamous moment when a white fan rapped the “n-word” uncensored onstage during his May performance at Alabama’s Hangout Festival. (The rapper warned “You gotta bleep one word” before the version of “m.A.A.d city.”)

“Let me put it to you in its simplest form,” Lamar told Vanity Fair, reflecting on the incident. “I’ve been on this earth for 30 years, and there’s been so many things a Caucasian person said I couldn’t do. Get good credit. Buy a house in an urban city. So many things – you can’t do that – whether it’s from afar or close up. So if I say this is my word, let me have this one word, please let me have that word.”
