Notas del jugador

Lamar es el mejor amigo de Franklin Clinton, miembro de The Families en Chamberlain Hills. Ambos estudian en Davis High School y terminan entrando en el crimen. Lamar trabaja con Franklin recuperando vehículos para Simeon Yetarian en Premium Deluxe Motorsport, pero sigue unido a la vida de pandillas que Franklin quiere abandonar. También vende droga, tiene a Chop como perro y pasa buena parte de su tiempo cerca de Forum Drive, en Strawberry.

Aparece junto a Franklin en Vespucci Beach, buscando dos coches que deben recuperar. Michael De Santa les indica sin saberlo la dirección correcta. Lamar se lleva un 9F Cabrio y Franklin un Rapid GT, y ambos corren de vuelta por Los Santos hasta Premium Deluxe Motorsport. Más tarde, Simeon los manda a buscar una Bagger en territorio Vagos. Los Vagos los atacan y, cuando el dueño de la moto muere en el tiroteo, Lamar se queda con la Bagger en vez de devolverla.

Simeon despide a Lamar y Franklin tras lo de la moto y la recuperación destructiva que Franklin realiza para Michael. Lamar ve una oportunidad en D, un Balla, y lleva a Franklin y Chop a secuestrarlo. Chop localiza a D, pero Lamar revela dónde están y tienen que liberarlo. Después deja a Chop al cuidado de Franklin. Cuando él y Stretch, recién salido de prisión, llevan a Franklin a un trato de droga con D, la reunión resulta ser una emboscada de los Ballas. Stretch mata a D, y los tres salen luchando antes de escapar de la policía.

Lamar y Denise Clinton recriminan a Franklin cuando vuelve a su antigua casa, pues creen que ha abandonado a The Families. Trevor Philips aparece y se suma al trato de droga de Lamar y Franklin. También es una trampa. Tras el tiroteo y la llegada de la LSPD, los tres huyen por el Los Santos River en motos de agua robadas. Franklin comprende que Stretch preparó la emboscada para matar a Lamar. Lamar también descubre que Franklin roba coches para Devin Weston, lo encuentra en Hayes Autos y habla de trabajar con Trevor después de que Devin se marcha con Franklin.

Lamar roba un Monroe para Devin y luego se une a Franklin y Trevor para llevar la colección de coches de Devin al norte de Paleto Bay. La policía persigue al convoy, pero entregan los vehículos. Devin retiene el pago y dice que ha reinvertido el dinero hasta que baje la atención policial. Más adelante, Lamar acepta otro trato con los Ballas, organizado con Stretch en Paleto Forest Sawmill. Como los anteriores, es una encerrona, y los Ballas secuestran a Lamar.

Franklin llama a Michael y Trevor para rescatar a Lamar de la serrería. Matan a los Ballas que lo retienen y Franklin lleva a Lamar a casa. Discuten durante el trayecto, aunque siguen siendo amigos. Después, Lamar permanece en Los Santos como amigo y contacto de Franklin, unido a The Families y a su antiguo barrio.

Cuando Devin Weston da un ultimátum a Franklin, este decide unir a Michael y Trevor en vez de matar a uno de ellos. Lamar responde a la llamada de Franklin. Lo acompaña a territorio Balla para hacer salir a Stretch y ayuda a abrirse paso entre los pandilleros. Franklin mata a Stretch tras enfrentarse a él, poniendo fin a los intentos de acabar con Lamar. Lamar sobrevive al conflicto junto a Franklin y los aliados que salen vivos del plan.

Curiosidades

◆When in a car with a wanted level, he will simply stick the middle finger up at cops instead of shooting back, similar to what he does when he is not in a vehicle.
◆As revealed in IGN's hands-on preview of Grand Theft Auto V, Franklin did not own Chop before GTA V; Lamar did. It was previously believed that Chop was always Franklin's dog. After the fifth mission of the game (called "Chop"), Chop the dog moves to Franklin's house because of the troubles Lamar has gotten into. In some cutscenes, Lamar is seen with Chop even after he was moved to Franklin's house, indicating that Lamar still has free access to Chop. However, this is only seen before Franklin moves to Vinewood Hills.
◆In The Contract update for Grand Theft Auto Online, it is revealed that Franklin has become the permanent owner of Chop.
◆Lamar's favourite radio stations are West Coast Classics and Radio Los Santos.
◆Lamar is the only non-playable character not to be billed alphabetically in the ending credits.
◆Lamar does not hold resentment for the Ballas, as heard while hanging out with Franklin very early in the game. He then explains that so many members from both the Ballas and the Families have been killed over the years and says that each gang should "remain on their own turf", and nothing should go wrong. Ironically enough it was Lamar's idea of kidnapping D that lead to the continued hostility between the Families and the Ballas, even though the kidnapping had nothing to do with the extended Families.
◆Furthermore, he enlisted the GTA Online Protagonist's help to spark a war between the Ballas and the Vagos during the events of GTA Online: Lowriders, although these occur some time prior to the events of GTA V, so it is possible Lamar's views on the Ballas changed during the period between the two games.
◆Lamar is one of the few characters that makes a reference to one of the protagonists' Special Ability. During the car chase in the mission Chop, Lamar will say to Franklin to use that "special driving thing that he does". He also claims that Franklin "looks funny" while he does so, saying that Franklin makes a "sex face" while using the Special Ability.
◆In the mission Pack Man, he will reveal to Trevor that he met JB Bradshaw (Tonya's boyfriend) in a threesome, in which they accidentally "crossed swords". This is also mentioned by JB on Lamar's Lifeinvader page.
◆Lamar has many similar character traits to Sweet Johnson:
◆They have similar voices.
◆Both are loyal members of the Families gang (CGF for Lamar and GSF for Sweet).
◆Both never plan to move out of their respective neighborhoods.
◆Both constantly criticize and accuse their respective protagonists of selling out and leaving them and the neighborhood behind.
◆If the player enters the in-game website PsychicShoutout and speaks with Mrs. Marcy as Franklin, she will say that she sees Lamar in her visions, having sex on Franklin's bed. This is the possible hint that Lamar has a much closer relationship with Denise Clinton, due to his multiple positive comments about her appearance. Another reference on that matter is that during the mission Hood Safari, Lamar is seen going out of Franklin's house with her, both supporting each other.
◆During cutscenes, Lamar is noticeably taller than Franklin, but upon transitioning to gameplay, he appears to be slightly shorter than Franklin. The reason for this is unknown.
◆Lamar's height is often mentioned by the other characters, Franklin even shouts "Where the tall dude at?!" during the firefight in Lamar Down.
◆On West Coast Classics, DJ Pooh will occasionally do a shout-out to Lamar, making fun of his name and his gangbanger mentality, and tells him to "get his act together."
◆When hanging out with him, Lamar will not draw a weapon when the player does. However, he will punch any unarmed opponents. Also, he won't shoot any police officers when getting a wanted level, he will simply flip them off and taunt them with insults (e.g. "Eh, fuck you!", "Fuck you, you bitch-ass bitch!"). Oddly enough, if he is killed during a hangout session, he drops a pistol, so it's possible this is actually just a glitch that has yet to be fixed.
◆The only times Lamar appears outside of missions and friend activities is in Franklin's early SWITCH cutscenes before The Hotel Assassination mission, in which Lamar is fighting with either the LSPD or gang members.
◆Lamar has a set of unused clothing in the game's files: A red polo shirt with a white sweater undershirt, black shorts, black and white sneakers, a glove on his left hand, a black ProLaps cap (golf clothing, suggesting that he could play golf with Franklin and Trevor in the beta, but cannot in the final version), a green San Andreas Magnetics t-shirt, a white headband, a black motocross helmet that has "WEST SIDE" written on its back (suggesting that he originally wore a helmet while riding on a motorcycle), a grey baseball cap with a "B" on it, a green LS cap turned backwards and a pair of black glasses with orange shades.
◆In Director Mode, if the player chooses Lamar as an actor and travels to Families hang out spots, members of the gang will interact with Lamar and he can interact with them back (when pressing the interact button).
◆Although 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 main other protagonists.
◆If Trevor sends a photo of an animal he just hunted to Lamar, Lamar will reply by telling Trevor that he "only smokes homies with two legs!".
◆Choosing to kill Michael or Trevor permanently shifts the relationship between Franklin and Lamar. Lamar becomes wary and distrustful, viewing Franklin as a "cold" and "snakey" sell-out rather than a fellow gangster. Ultimately, Lamar acts as a mirror for the player's betrayal, highlighting the deep personal cost of Franklin's choice.
◆If the GTA Online Protagonist is male, Lamar will mention that the player is shorter than he thought. If the player is female, he will attempt to hit on her but will be rejected.
◆In the GTA Online introduction, if the player selects the Fugitive as starting car, Lamar Davis mentions he used to own a Cheval Fugitive. He will start talking how it's a good drive-by car but won't finish his sentence and simply claim it's a good car.
◆During Mall Or Nothing, Lamar's "player" rank will be 99.
◆The player can buy a watch identical to Lamar's, called the Deep Sea Watch.
◆Lamar's playable appearances in the Short Trip missions and the Double Down Adversary Modes in The Contract update make him the first deuteragonist in the series to play the role of a protagonist (even if only for a short time) in another game.
◆When playing as Lamar, the background of his interaction menu features marijuana leaves similar to those of Franklin, albeit larger.
