Kendrick Lamar is known for making catchy music infused with poignant messages, his incredible lyrical prowess, and of course, his Michael Jackson-esque dance moves. However, his social media game has never been one to evoke praise. He is notoriously private when it comes to what he shares on these public sites, his Twitter can go days or even weeks without being updated. Amazingly, Wednesday night, Top Dawg Entertainment's Anthony Tiffith convinced King Kunta to hop on Twitter and answer a few fan questions. 

The event started simple enough, with the Compton rapper giving a one word salutation to the world:

1.

Aye.

After a few minutes, the fun actually got started with a topic that has come to dominate hip hop at the moment: Lil Wayne.

2.

@MoeJamul 1 of the most influential artist of this generation and still hungry.

He then answered a question about his writing process during the creation of To Pimp A Butterfly:
