Ahead of Grammy night, he explains: "It's bigger than me. When we think about the Grammys, only Lauryn Hill and Outkast have won Album of the Year. This would be big for hip-hop culture at large."

Then talking about his record 'To Pimp A Butterfly', he said: "The album just had a deeper impact than I expected, because it touched so many homes, and not just in my own community. I guess I'm just speaking words that need to be heard in these times."

Asked what he'll do for his next album, Lamar continued: "As far as content, what I want to get across, I have an idea. But even that's still premature. Once I get back in that studio, things evolve into other things."

Meanwhile, it was revealed today that Lamar would be inducted somebody into this year's Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

The Grammys take place next week on Monday, February 15, hosted by CBS.
