KENDRICK LAMAR

Kendrick Drops GNX!? 🤯 - Saturday!

⏱ Estimated Read Time: 2 minutes

Yo, good morning! It’s Saturday, and the weekend is finally here. Surprisingly, it’s warm today – definitely wasn’t expecting that when I stepped outside. Anyway, yesterday, while uploading a video, I stumbled upon a trailer for Kendrick Lamar dropping an album. I thought, “Oh, that’s cool, he’s gonna drop an album.” But literally, like 20 minutes later, the dude has a full album out on Spotify. I was like, “What did I miss?” I swear I thought it was just a trailer, but he dropped GNX! It’s a sick album, I won’t lie. I’ve been listening to it like 3-4 times now. Kendrick delivers, man.

Now, everyone’s obviously going to be like, “Yo, top five, greatest of all time?” I don’t know about that. The whole GOAT conversation gets weird because a lot of us just adopt other people’s top five or top four lists. Like, my top four or five, when I really think about it, it’s Pac, Eminem, DMX, and maybe Kanye. The way I arrive at my top five is based on who I just constantly listen to. I still listen to those guys a lot. Those are the artists I listened to so much while growing up. If you know me, you know I grew up a huge hip-hop head. I still listen to more hip-hop than I do any sort of Punjabi music or anything like that.

I don’t know if that’s a good thing or a bad thing. Some people get really mad, like, “You don’t listen to Punjabi music?” I’m like, “No, bro, I listen to hip-hop more.” They’re like, “You don’t respect your culture!” I’m like, “Dude, I listen when I passively listen, but…” Just because I have these guys in my top five doesn’t mean I disrespect Jay-Z, Biggie, Big L, or anyone else who’s great at rap. I just feel like whoever you listen to while growing up, those are the artists that really cement who your favorites of all time are.

One thing I respect about Kendrick’s drop is I love these silent drops. The ones where you don’t expect it, and it just hits you, and you’re like, “What?!” I know the old way of doing albums was you drop a song, you drop another single, and then you tease the album coming up, and you just build up hype for it. Eminem did it the classic way with his album. Honestly, I think the silent drop, the anticipation, and your reviews are just so much more intense because you don’t build up hype for it. It’s like, “Yo!” Honestly, I think it works better with a solid drop. Solid drops are definitely the way to go.

Alright, on that note, y’all have a great weekend. Take it easy, peace!

The central theme is a powerful, unexpected surge of sound, depicted as a dynamic explosion of vibrant, glowing energy and fragmented geometric shapes. Rich gradients of deep indigo, electric blue, and neon purple dominate the palette, with sharp contrasting highlights. Interwoven into the abstract composition are subtle, almost imperceptible elements reminiscent of rhythmic sound waves, digital equalizer bars, and a very abstract, fragmented crown or peak, symbolizing legendary status.
