    1) Kendrick Lamar makes music to express himself and others to the world.
    2) Kendrick Lamar is giving a voice to people in the streets that feel as if they don't have a voice.
    3) I feel as if most artists these days don't give my generation a voice because we're young and inexperienced in life, but if I had to choose two I would pick Chance The Rapper and Big Sean. A good amount of songs from both of these artists are testimonial and encouraging if you listen to the lyrics instead of the beat and read inbetween the lines.
