00:00Congratulations, you're already a Grammy winner tonight.
00:03What has all the love for Not Like Us been like for you?
00:05Uh, unexplainable, man.
00:07I don't even know how to feel at these moments.
00:09I'm just trying to live through it.
00:11I didn't write no accepted speech today.
00:12When we won, I was just going off the top.
00:14Felt like a rapper a little bit, how I was up there.
00:17And, uh, I don't know.
00:18It feels unexplainable.
00:20Did you think that the song would ever
00:21have the sort of cultural impact and just
00:23cultural moment that it did?
00:25I mean, I remember when it came out, and I was just like,
00:27oh my god, this is fucking crazy.
00:29But, you know, still, I don't, I'm not entitled to anything.
00:32I don't feel entitled.
00:33I don't feel like it's going to, it's got to happen.
00:35You know, I just wait and see what happens.
00:37I just let God guide me through.
00:39Coming up, Kendrick's performing at the Super Bowl.
00:41What do you think he's going to bring
00:42to this Super Bowl performance?
00:43What is he going to bring?
00:44A fucking monster show?
00:46He's the greatest, man.
00:47He's one of the greatest artists of all time in my book.
00:50And he's one of the greatest performers of all time.
00:52If you really go back and study, he's just been,
00:54he's literally been doing this for so long and at a high level.
00:57So I expect nothing but the best.
00:59He's incredible.
01:00You've collaborated with pretty much every superstar,
01:02but who's someone still on your bucket list to work with?
01:05I told everybody this.
01:06Beyoncé.
01:07Beyoncé.
01:08Beyoncé.
01:09Beyoncé.
01:10Beyoncé.
01:11We need a mustard on our Beyoncé.
01:12We need something like that.
01:13What do you think?
01:14Is it her year to win Album of the Year?
01:15Is she going to take it home?
01:16I think she should.
01:17Yeah, of course.
01:18100%.
01:19I think she's well deserving.
01:20She's Beyoncé, man.
01:21Give it up.
01:22Stick up.
01:23Give it up.
01:24That's amazing.
01:25And what kind of music are you listening to right now?
01:26Who are you inspired by?
01:27I'm getting ready to do Ella's album.
01:29Ella's new album.
01:30Ella Mai's new album.
01:31So I've been into R&B vibes.
01:33Sometimes I sing Kendrick beats.
01:35I mean, I sing Kendrick beats every day,
01:36but I'm between that.
01:37Yo, yo, yo.
01:38I'm doing that and just R&B vibes.
01:41You've worked with so many icons,
01:42and right now music biopics about icons are really having a moment.
01:46Who's an artist that you'd love to see a music biopic about next?
01:51I don't know.
01:53I'm very, I don't know.
01:55I don't know.
01:56I don't know.
01:57I guess Beyoncé, Jay-Z, shit, Kendrick.
02:01All of them, like, just all the greatest.
02:03Yeah.
