Every artist in music was influenced by Michael Jackson, in one way or another. Whether they admit it or not, Michael Jackson is one of the best to do it. Most rappers openly admit to their Michael admiration, among those are Kanye West and Ja Rule.
Kendrick Lamar receives credit for being one of the most-artistic artists in the game. A couple of years ago, he was on everything, but he took a step back. Making his return to the game, Kendrick Lamar has a new album on the way, this year.
Getting as close as he can to the King of Pop, Kendrick Lamar spent some time with Prince Jackson, the eldest child of the late Michael Jackson. Hanging out with the son of a legend, Kendrick Lamar played some music from his new album for him. Prince is definitely impressed and he shared the encounter with Twitter, letting them know how good the album is, too.
