Go Shorty: It's Kendrick Lamar's Birthday Playlist [AKA Songs He May Have Been Conceived To]

Today good people, we celebrate the Kendrick Lamar's 29th spin around the sun. Hard to imagine that someone so young could have already left such a massive mark on the world of music, and really, the world at large.

And so, while the vast majority of us won't be able to sing his praises in-person, we've decided it'd be a more than appropriate time to expound upon "Go Shorty," a little Twitter game we like to play that calls upon the collective music minds of our space to compile a list of tracks that K Dot may have very well been conceived to. Spare us the gross remarks, we know it's a little twisted, but I'll be damned if it didn't make for one of the most eclectic (and sho nuff fawnky) playlists we've ever put together. There's a little something for everyone here: P-Funk, Rick James, El Debarge, Janet Jackson and so, so much more.  

So get to it y'all, this is as much a celebration of Kendrick Lamar as it is of you, who make it all possible. Stream and subscribe to our very first installment of the Go Shorty playlist down below. May the funk be with you.
