Kendrick Lamar Doesn't Show Obama the LeBron Love with New Album (VIDEO)

Kendrick Lamar apparently didn't return the love to President Obama, because he told us the former Prez didn't get an advanced copy of his album like LeBron James did.

Kendrick was leaving Mastro's in Bev Hills Friday night when our photog brought up Obama, who previously praised Kendrick for having the best album of 2015.

The rapper famously sent an early copy of his new album, "DAMN" to LeBron ... but turns out Obama's mailbox was empty.

As for rumors of a companion album ... he answers that, too.
