What Kendrick Lamar learned from meeting President Obama

Kendrick Lamar, in addition to having enough Grammy nominations for 10 artists and some platinum-selling albums, got a chance to meet President Obama recently, as part of his campaign to encourage mentorship for kids.

And while the rest of the world got this delightful video and pictures out of the experience, what, exactly, did Lamar get? He explained what he learned to Billboard:

“The way people look at me these days — that’s the same way I looked at President Obama before I met him. We tend to forget that people who’ve attained a certain position are human. When (the president) said to my face what his favorite record was — I understood that, no matter how high-ranking you get in this world, you’re human. No matter how high the pedestal you reach, we all still like a beat. Even the president has got to hear that snare drum.”

True story.

Let's all just watch him in the Oval Office one more time.
