If Kendrick Lamar is bitter about not winning a Grammy for good kid, m.A.A.d city, he isn't showing it. In an interview with Billboard Magazine, Lamar said "I appreciate [the Grammys] recognizing me. That's not my overall goal... It's best to just go and enjoy the festivities." When asked about Macklemore, whose The Heist won Best Rap Album, Lamar called the Seattle rapper a "genuine dude" and wished him success.

Additionally, TDE's top dog claims to have no issue with everyone else's favorite Twitter target, Iggy Azalea. "She's doing her thing," Lamar told Billboard. "Let her. People have to go through trials and tribulations to get where they at. Do your thing, continue to rock it, because obviously God wants you here." Lamar did not entertain the idea that darker forces may be at work.

Another nugget from the interview is that Kendrick's next LP will release sometime during the first half of 2015.
