From Compton to the White House: Kendrick Lamar shares never-before-seen photos from his visit to the White House, where he met with President Obama.

Kendrick takes a seat in the Oval Office and shakes hands with Obama in front of a portrait of Abraham Lincoln, while discussing topics concerning the inner cities and youth.

“I sat down with President Barack Obama and shared the same views, topics concerning the inner cities, the problem, the solutions, and further more embracing the youth, both being aware that mentoring saves lives,” he reveals. “Sometimes I reflect and think back, ‘Where would I be if I hadn’t had the presence of an older acquaintance telling me what’s right and what’s wrong?’”

It turns out Obama is also a Kendrick fan. He chose “How Much a Dollar Cost” as his favorite song of 2015.
