Kendrick Lamar is one of today’s most prominent rappers. The Hiphop Hоt Rides YouTube channel provides an inside insight into Kendrick’s personality as a gearhead, as well as a peep into his garage. Our presenter describes Kendrick as an artist who appreciates a variety of unique approaches. Lamar incorporates elements of funk, jazz, and hiphop.
Born in Compton, California, Lamar began rapping while he was still in elementary school and trying to mimic his idols Tupac and Dr. Dre. Our presenter tells us his parents decided to move from the south side of Chicago to Compton three years before he was born, as his father had been heavily involved in gangs.
Lamar’s first full project was completed at the early age of 16 and during his career, he has won 13 Grammy Awards and even a Pulitzer prize, becoming the first hip hop artist to do so.
Our presenter continues that Lamar has a net worth of $75,000,000, and he owns many beautiful homes and extremely luxurious cars.

Kendrick enjoys a specific type of car, and it is clearly the low rider sector. Starting with his 1992 Cadillac Seville, our presenter explains that this was Lamar’s first car. It is powered by a huge 4.9-liter V8 engine that delivers 203 horsepower. With a 0-60 time of 8.6 seconds, the Seville is not a speedy car, but it is one that prioritizes comfort.
The next automobile is a 1964 Chevrolet Impala. This is the definitive and most iconic car in the low rider subculture. This car is unique because the X-type frame is extremely strong and can handle the stresses created by hydraulic hopping or three-wheeling.
The Cadillac makes another appearance on the list, with the 1990 Brougham looking quite close to a rendering we saw. This is square-bodied elegance on wheels, and true to his style, Lamar prioritizes comfort over speed. Because it only produces 140 horsepower, going slow should be no problem. This is why most low riders have nicknames like “lead sled” and “all slow, no go.”

Kendrick’s garage also houses numerous newer vehicles, including a Land Rover Range Rover Sport, a BMW i8, and the ultra-luxurious and famous rap vehicle, the Mercedes G-Wagon. This is a fairly cool garage that demonstrates his passion for his job, which seeps over into his car choices.
