Top Dawg Entertainment’s Kendrick Lamar has shown off his interest in super heroes by revealing his own mighty alter ego in a new Mass Appeal interview.

According to K. Dot, his own super hero nickname would be “Hard Body.”

For the third episode of our new series Super…, Mass Appeal Issue #56 cover star Kendrick Lamar explains his superhero fantasy. Kendrick kicks things off by describing his vibe and moniker, “Hard Body.” You’d expect someone going by that name to have thugged-out powers, but K-Dot throws an immediate curveball when describing his superhero skills. Witness Kendrick’s vision for his super powers, enemies, and whips he would drive while saving the world in the video player above. (Mass Appeal)

A few weeks ago, Lamar revealed how much of an impact late music mogul 2Pac had on his To Pimp a Butterfly album title.

“That was the original name and they caught it because the abbreviation was Tupac, Tu-P-A-C,” Lamar said after revealing the project’s original title was “Tu Pimp A Caterpillar.” “Me changing it to Butterfly, I just really wanted to show the brightness of life and the word pimp has so much aggression and that represents several things. For me, it represents using my celebrity for good. Another reason is, not being pimped by the industry through my celebrity.” (MTV)

Recent reports revealed K. Dot stood alone with the first album to topple its competition with “pimp” in the title.

According to Billboard, Kendrick’s latest set is the first album with “pimp” in its title to be No. 1 on the charts. Previously, the highest charting album was Pimp C’s Pimpalation, which landed at No. 3 in 2006. Other albums with “pimp” in its name worth mentioning are Too $hort‘s Shorty the Pimp (No. 6 in 1992), JT Money‘s Pimpin On Wax (No. 28 in 1999) and Dirty’s Keep It Pimp & Gangsta (No. 63 in 2003).
