~ Lamar's most famous and memetic quote.

Lamar Davis (born December 5, 1987) is one of the two deuteragonists of Grand Theft Auto V (alongside Lester Crest) and the tritagonist of Grand Theft Auto: Online. He is Franklin Clinton's best friend as well as being a criminal alongside him living in Los Santos and a member of The Families. Lamar is also good friends with Trevor Phillips.

He is voiced by Gerald "Slink" Johnson.

History[]

Lamar is the best friend of gang banger Franklin Clinton from Chamberlain Hills. He is a member of the Families street gang as well as being a gang banger and drug dealer. Lamar was working as a repossession man for Premium Deluxe Motorsport until their boss Simeon Yetarian fired him and Franklin after Michael De Santa forced Franklin to crash through the place's window and beat him up. Lamar and Franklin both went to Davis High School when they were teenagers, eventually the two became involved with crime.

While working for Simeon, both Lamar and Franklin repossessed many vehicles. They stole a white 9F and a red Rapid GT at the start. While attempting to steal a green Bagger motorcycle, the two enter a fight with the Vagos and accidentally kill the owner, prompting them to keep the vehicle for themselves as the task is now meaningless. While trying to steal a yellow BeeJay XL SUV belonging to James De Santa, Michael, having concealed himself inside, threatened Franklin to ram the dealership, then paid him off and entered brutal fistfight with Simeon. Subsequently, Franklin and Lamar lost their jobs. Lamar eventually finds an "opportunity" to kidnap a Ballas "OG" member named D for a large amount of money ($40,000). With the help of his dog Chop, they succeed in kidnapping him, but were forced to free him when Lamar inadvertently revealed their location.

Later, their friend Harold "Stretch" Joseph is released from jail. Lamar celebrates by attending a drug deal at a warehouse in La Puerta. Unbeknownst to them, it was actually a trap to have Lamar and Franklin killed. When Franklin finds Ballas members arriving instead of the LSPD, Stretch retaliates by shooting D in the head, killing him, and the trio escape the warehouse, killing Ballas members and escaping the cops along the way.

When Franklin returns to his old house where his auntie Denise lives, Lamar is there too but Franklin's unstable friend, Trevor Phillips, shows up as well, and he joins both Franklin and Lamar in a drug deal. They all go but Trevor recognizes it as a scam. The Ballas turn hostile, forcing them to fight through large numbers of gangsters and cops. Lamar eventually befriends Trevor from this point and calls him "crazy dude".

Eventually, Devin Weston gives Lamar an opportunity to make a lot of money by helping Franklin and Trevor hijack expensive luxury cars and take them to Paleto Bay. The hijacking was on hold due to Trevor and Michael getting banished to Sandy Shores by Martin Madrazo due to kidnapping his wife Patricia, until Lester Crest lifts their banishment as soon Patricia is returned to him if Martin stops mistreating her, then they finally hijack the last one and bring them all to Paleto Bay and also driving the cops away. Unfortunately, Devin refuses to pay them, with Franklin calling it money for nothing at all.

Later on, it is revealed by Tanisha that Lamar has been set up by Stretch, getting him kidnapped by the Ballas at the sawmill in Blaine County. Although Franklin has been continually dismayed by Lamar and is reluctant to aid him, he eventually agrees, enlisting the help of Lester, Michael and Trevor.

If Ending A or B is chosen, Lamar says he can't be seen in the day in case Stretch will go after him. If Ending B is chosen, Lamar will no longer be able to hang out with Trevor. If Ending C is chosen, Lamar (despite Franklin's opposition) will help the three protagonists ambush and kill the Merryweather mercenaries and FIB agents in the abandoned foundry. At one point, Franklin has to assist Lamar, who is overwhelmed with hostiles. He presumably leaves before Franklin, Michael and Trevor regroup, and is later revealed to be alive and well.

Personality[]

Lamar is described as crazy but a "good kind of crazy" and "very funny", and the opposite of his best friend Franklin. He is very prideful of his Apache descent and uses this to express himself and is the basis of several of his jokes.

Lamar is somewhat reckless, lethargic and dim-witted. As a result, he tends to be easily deceived, much to Franklin's dismay. Despite this, he also retains immense loyalty to whoever he trusts and is willing to assist them.

Quotes[]

What do you mean "F--k this Employee of the Month s--t", man? When there's some s--t to be won, goddammit, I want it. I don't give a f--k what it is. Y'know what I'm talkin' about? I take no prisoners. I go hard doing this s--t. Big dog. Big nuts. When names is on a mother---kin' board I wanna see my name at the top of that motherf--ker and next to it, it need to say "Winner".
~ Lamar Davis to Franklin Clinton and Simeon Yetarian.
Now we gonna go in and take these motherf***ers out, and free this beautiful new industry from the shackles of gangsterism and corruption, man. We need that. It's a brand new dawn for the leaf, man. I'm kinda like a superhero for cannabis, ni**a, kind of like, Impotent Rage... you know the one who can't... you know who I'm talking about...?
~ Lamar Davis during the mission Short Trip - Fire It Up in Grand Theft Auto Online.
Lamar: Sup, can a loc come up in your crib?
Franklin: Man, f-ck you, I'll see you at work.
Lamar: Ah n-gga, don't hate me 'cause I'm beautiful, n-gga. Maybe if you got rid of that old yee-yee ass haircut you got you'd get some bitches on your dick. Oh, better yet, maybe Tanisha'll call your dog-ass if she ever stop f-cking with that brain-surgeon or lawyer she f-cking with, n-gga.
Franklin: ...What? ...Urgh, motherf-cker!
~ Lamar trying to taunt Franklin over the latter's refusal of entry to his house.
Knock, knock, my politically incorrect racial epithets.
~ Lamar greeting Franklin and the Online Player.
Lamar: You the one all pumped up on doing this lick, ni**a. I'm getting my money in the hood, I'm straight, fool. I'm cool.

Lamar: Ni**a, that's that Apache blood in me, homie. You lucky I ain't do a flying tomahawk and scalp they motherf**kin' ass.
Franklin: We can't repo the assets of a dead man, "big sitting chief asshole!"
Lamar: Ni**a, and we ain't going to neither, ni**a. I'm gonna keep this motherf**ker for myself. Tell Simeon we couldn't recover it.
(Lamar jumps onto the bike and rides away.)
Franklin: You f***ing tell him, you f***ing moron!
~ Franklin and Lamar after repossessing the bike.
Lamar: We gotta go pick up some shit from around the corner, man. We can walk and talk at the same time, my ni**a.
Franklin: Why the f**k we can't drive?
Lamar: Around the block? With Chop? You need to walk with your fat ass.
~ Franklin and Lamar
Trevor: Did we ask for a key, or a f**king ounce?!
Lamar: Man, that's motherf**king drywall!
~ Trevor Philips and Lamar Davis, after they've had their suspicions.

Trivia[]

  • As well as a central character in Grand Theft Auto V and a main character in Grand Theft Auto: Online. He is also the overall deuteragonist towards Franklin Clinton.
  • Lamar is the only non-playable character not to be billed alphabetically in the ending credits.
  • He is about 6'7 and 195 lbs.
  • The only times Lamar appears outside of missions and friend activities is in Franklin's early SWITCH cutscenes before The Hotel Assassination, in which Lamar is fighting with either the LSPD or gang members.
  • Lamar's taunt at the end of the mission "Franklin and Lamar" became an internet meme in mid-2020.
  • Lamar's character is similar to both Sean "Sweet" Johnson and Lance "Ryder" Wilson. Just like how Carl is related to them and how Ryder takes CJ on miscellaneous jobs, Lamar is Franklin's best friend who occasionally makes deals on his own, dragging Franklin into trouble.
  • Lamar is rather similar to Trevor (which explains their friendship), and his relationship with Franklin sometimes mirrors the former's relationship with Michael. However, whereas Lamar is not as insane, he is rather incompetent.
  • Even though Lamar cannot hang out with Michael, he can hang out with both Franklin and Trevor at the same time. Lamar is the only non-playable character that can be part of a hang out trio. This is likely due to the fact that he cannot be spooked by a shoot-out which is what a high number of players like to do when they are hanging out with other main protagonists.
