Saviii 3rd Reveals Kendrick Lamar's Criteria For Collaborating With Artists

Saviii 3rd Reveals Kendrick Lamar's Criteria For Collaborating With Artists

Saviii 3rd says that Kendrick Lamar asked him a series of five questions before committing to collaborating with him. The L.A. rapper explained Lamar's vetting process during a recent interview on The Justin Credible Podcast. Despite being nervous, Saviii knew he had to answer to the best of his ability.




"I took those questions so serious," Saviii 3rd explained. "One of the questions was: 'Do you want to make music for your section, or do you want to make music for the world?' Another one is: 'What do you think your biggest flaw is when it comes to anything blocking your creativity?' With this one, he put: 'This is the one' in parentheses, and he said: 'What do you think is stopping you from being an ultimate superstar? Be truthful with yourself.'"

Despite Lamar having such a series vetting process, Thundercat recently revealed that his favorite studio session of all time was for "These Walls" off of To Pimp A Butterfly. Speaking with HipHopDX, the artist told the outlet, "My favorite studio session that I was in, gotta be honest: it was probably singing 'These Walls.' And a lot of my friends at the time didn't realize that I sang. And so, my friends were just staring in my face like, 'What is he doing right now?' And I was like, 'Can you guys leave the room so I can... I don't wanna be looking in my friends' eyes singing about these walls.' It's just looking at Terrace [Martin] in the eyes, singing in my highest Michael McDonald voice. Terrace is smiling like, 'What about these walls, Steven?' And I'm like, 'Stop it!' I couldn't pause because the track is gonna keep going, so I gotta keep singing. There is no pause, it's just continually me singing these walls and harmonies. And my friends looking down my throat. Don't look at me like that. I'm a grown man, I pay taxes; I've been to jail. Don't do that!"




On his latest project, Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers, Lamar worked with Blxst, Amanda Reifer, Sampha, Taylour Paige, Summer Walker, Ghostface Killah, Baby Keem, Kodak Black, and many more. The album won Best Rap Album at the 65th Annual Grammy Awards.
