Away from the court, Trail Blazers All-Star point guard Damian Lillard has never shied away from talking about his love for hip-hop. Taking some time out from making his own music, Lillard recently spoke with XXL Magazine about a variety of topics including the Meek Mill/Drake feud and the movie Straight Outta Compton. When addressing his upcoming album, under which he performs as "Dame DOLLA," Lillard had this to say:
