Kendrick Lamar can check yet another dream off of his list.

Ahead of the premiere of N.W.A.’s Straight Outta Compton biopic, the rapper got to interview the iconic group in a Billboard exclusive.

Lamar, who says he’s a product of the group, picked their brains about everything from staying sane in the music industry to their feelings about today’s rappers. At one point Lamar even asked them to bear with him because he was “tripping right now.”

If you had the chance, who would you sit down with for an in-depth conversation? Famous or not, dead or alive, who would you love to talk to? Sound off!
