    Kendrick Lamar to Allegedly Release ‘GNX’ Deluxe

    Kendrick Lamar is set to come out with a deluxe version of his surprise album GNX, as revealed by collaborator Lefty Gunplay. During a conversation with Bootleg Kev about their work on the track “TV Off,” Gunplay hinted Kendrick still has much more unfinished stuff. Gunplay said, “He has some stuff. We did two, three songs. He has some stuff in the chamber. He told me that we’re going to work again for sure” when asked if any of his contributions were cut from the album.

    Gunplay said Kendrick is also planning a deluxe version of the album: “I know he has a deluxe version coming out. He’s very secretive.” This West Coast rapper admitted that he had to sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) before getting into the studio with Kendrick: “Everybody thought that I was playing – I wasn’t, though. I almost blew it. We had to sign NDAs. ‘You’re going [in the studio] with Kendrick.’ It didn’t hit me ’til he walked in there and gave me a hug.” Singled out: “He has been locked in with me since April,” said Gunplay in praise of Kendrick as ‘the missing piece that the West Coast needed.

    Hitmaka says Kendrick Lamar’s new album is the first he’s listened to in its entirety

    Hitmaka shares his thoughts about Kendrick Lamar’s new album, GNX, dubbing it a classic. The platinum-selling producer took to Instagram stories to write: “This is the first album I’ve played top 2 bottom & I’m so happy I did. A classic [umbrella emoji].”

    Kendrick Lamar’s exceptional 2024 comes to a grand exit with the GNX. He believably triumphed in the perennial rap argument against Drake and J. Cole, dominated this summer with his Grammy-nominated single “Not Like Us” and then reached the zenith of his career by securing a performance at the upcoming Super Bowl Halftime Show.

    Kendrick also brought together a hundred neighborhoods on one stage at the historic Pop-Out concert that took place in Los Angeles. All this was done under the radar, letting the music bark “loud” before any audience.

    The newest album of Kendrick Lamar called GNX is finally out and the Compton rapper talks in length about two of his Hip Hop idols, Lil Wayne and Snoop Dogg.

    Starting with the first song, “wacced out murals,” (Kendrick) talks about the backlash directed at him about the forthcoming Super Bowl halftime show which includes accusations that he blocked Lil Wayne from performing in his city of New Orleans.

    “Used to bump Tha Carter 3, I held my Rollie chain proud / Irony, I think my hard work let Lil Wayne down / Whatever, though, call me crazy, everybody questionable / Turn me to an Eskimo, I drew the line and decimals,” he raps.

    K.Dot later spits: “Won the Super Bowl and Nas the only one congratulate me / All these n-ggas aggitated, I’m just glad they showed they faces / Quite frankly, plenty artists but they outdated / Old-ass flows, tryna convince me that you they favorite / This is not for lyricists, I swear it’s not the sentiments / Fuck a double entendre, I want y’all to feel this shit.”

    Kendrick Lamar Owns Up to Black Hippy Album Delay on ‘Heart Pt. 6’

    Kendrick Lamar is coming clean about why we haven’t heard much from the broken-up supergroup Black Hippy.

    In “Heart Pt. 6” – off his unexpected album GNX, which he dropped on Friday, November 22 – Kendrick talks about the beginnings of TDE with Jay Rock, ScHoolboy Q, Ab-Soul, and every other player involved.

    He states in the last verse that this was the reason no album came out for the group since he was busy with other things.

    “I jog my memory, knowin’ Black Hippy didn’t work ’cause of me/Creatively, I moved on with new concepts in reach/Top, remember all them sessions we would strategize/To hit the streets, then come back, record three records?”

    Also notable is Kendrick’s ability to copy the title of the song by Drake while conveniently ignoring his presence in the whole story. Earlier this year, in the course of their beef, Drake borrowed Kendrick’s The Heart series and took a shot at him in a version of “The Heart Part 6” which also featured Kendrick, however, this version was deleted later on from the streaming services.

    Kendrick Lamar’s new surprise album GNX has stirred quite widespread reaction, not just for the hard-hitting tracks; but also his remarks about Lil Wayne’s disappointment of being snubbed of Super Bowl Halftime performance for the Compton rapper.

    In a post on Saturday, November 23, Weezy F. Baby took issue with Kendrick’s lyrical content on the “wacced out murals,” and rightfully so.

    On he record, K-Dot spits: “Used to bump ‘Tha Carter 3,’ I held my Rollie chain proud/ Irony, I think my hard work let Lil Wayne down/ Whatever, though, call me crazy, everybody questionable/ Turn me to an Eskimo, I drew the line and decimals.”

    He continues: “Won the Super Bowl and Nas the only one congratulate me/ All these n-ggas agitated, I’m just glad they showed they faces/ Quite frankly, plenty artists but they outdated/ Old-ass flows, tryna convince me that you they favorite/ This is not for lyricists, I swear it’s not the sentiments/ Fuck a double entendre, I want y’all to feel this shit.”

    Weezy later took to X to address the name-drop, urging people to “let this giant sleep” lest they will face destruction.

    “Man wtf I do?!” Tunechi wrote. “I just be chillin & dey still kome 4 my head. Let’s not take kindness for weakness. Let this giant sleep. I beg u all. No one really wants destruction,not even me but I shall destroy if disturbed. On me. Love.”

    Mustard may have set out the recognition for West Coast unity with his opening DJ set at Kendrick Lamar’s Juneteenth Pop Out concert, but he was honest enough to admit that he was fearful of the event.

    “I was nervous as shit,” Mustard admitted. “It just didn’t feel real.”

    “Somebody sent me a message, and I was just like, ‘Oh, shit,’ and then I hung up in their face, and I was just playing it over and over,” he added.
