Kendrick Lamar told HipHopWired that he isn't preoccupied with Shyne or his criticisms of Lamar's acclaimed new album, good kid, m.A.A.d city. Despite the elder former rap star deriding the release as "trash," Lamar understands that everyone is going to have their own tastes.

"It's really no response [to him]," Kendrick revealed. "I'm not a sensitive guy, so that's his opinion. Can't stop what the world thinks, so yeah, that's him."

“It's classic worthy, you know? But it has to stand with the time and have the years behind it,” said the rapper. “Right now, it's classic worthy and people [will] look back and say, 'Kendrick's first album really, really, really outdid everything else and became a classic.' I went into it with intentions of making it a classic, so I'm glad everybody's saying that now."
