Tonight Kendrick Lamar, who's relatively quiet on social media, hosted a rare Twitter Q&A. The Compton MC fielded questions about everything from Lil Wayne to the making of To Pimp A Butterfly, his favorite artist at the moment, and potentially giving lectures at college campuses. Here are all the takeaways from his Q&A.
1. He has a lot of respect for Lil Wayne.
@MoeJamul 1 of the most influential artist of this generation and still hungry.

4. Even though he's cited Tupac as the inspiration behind the title To Pimp A Butterfly, the American pimp-turned-novelist Iceberg Slim was also influential.
