Most artists try and stay modest about awards. Even if they want them, they won't admit it.

Not Kendrick Lamar. The rapper, who is rounding off a huge 2015 with 11 Grammy nominations, has admitted he wants every one of them. Why? Because the 28-year-old wants to make a statement for hip-hop culture. Asked about his staggering number of nominations, he said: "I want all of them. Because it's not only a statement for myself, but it's a statement for the culture. They're all important, because of the foundation the forefathers laid before me. "Nas didn't get a chance to be in that position. 2Pac. So to be acknowledged and to actually win, it's for all of them."
