Kendrick Lamar Plays Principal For The Day

As part of the Get Schooled Celebrity Principals for the Day program, Kendrick Lamar paid a visit to students at Mount Pleasant High School in Providence, Rhode Island.

“Without education you don’t have anything,” said Kendrick,who was a 4.0 student at Centennial High School in L.A. and was the first in his family to graduate from high school. “My teachers were  great positive influences in my life. My middle school English teacher was probably the reason I became a rapper. He used to encourage me to write poetry and would challenge me, which helped me improve my vocabulary and made me enjoy writing.”
