Kendrick is playing chess not checkers...will Drake recover. | Vlogmas Day 3

Comments

I didn’t like use your heart off the album

Mariah Gardenhire

Because banks have FDIC deposit insurance up to $200,000. Money transfer services (cash app) don't

Anne

I'm listening while working, and when you yelled "if Sza was with Roc Nation" I knew to look at the screen and I was not disappointed 🤣 that get up and lean in was tew funny.

B.Darling

The promo photo they have for the tour is basically just SZA— took me a minute to realize Kendrick was even in the background. They are banking on SZA to make it a hit (which she will but whew, she needs better for how well she does)🤦🏾‍♂️

Ian

This is so spot on with how I feel. You cooked. 😂

Lilac S.

Right ntm on cashapp. It just makes it easier to send/get money from people especially when you go out or something.

SimsCCGirlie

I feel like there are different types of kendrick fans. The ones that step behind ptab and mr morale probably like the new project but expect stuff more along those lines so they feel like it has to be something else coming. They might be right idk. But for people like me who prefer Damn and Good kid, I think we genuinely love the new project. Haven’t stopped listening to it since it dropped. I do think people put kendrick on a pedestal of “oh he is above all this” now he may not be super flashy and in the mix but at the end of the day he wants to be known as the #1 rapper and wants the respect and love from everyone. If he really didn’t care he would move more like j cole. Not saying anything is wrong with that, rap is supposed to be competitive.

SimsCCGirlie

I posted on my priv that I did not like that new album that much like a couple of songs have replay value but others…

naya C

Why does it matter? Those cards don’t charge overdraft fees. Lol

Jelissa

Why do y’all care soooo bad about these “real” banks. They all scam.

Jelissa

I hate Chase I’m 100% a cashapp, Chime and capital one. No overdraft fees ❤️

Jelissa

😒

Jelissa

Respectfully, I disagree with parts of this. I feel like because Kendrick doesn't pop out like that, it's easy to forget how many fans really do ride for him. His politics and hypocrisy make me itch for sure, so I'm not ride or die myself, but I don't think he NEEDED to bait beef with Drake to get the people talking. Wasn't Drake allegedly the one trying to get Dot on FPS in the first place and that's partially how this whole thing started?

Lilac S.

Kendrick is king hotep frfr that’s why I could never be a Stan. I will always side with him over Drake tho 😂

M.rachelle

As a long time SZA fan I have prayed to the ancestors for her to move to RocNation 😂

M.rachelle

I love both TPAB and Damn. They are my favorite projects of his. The music on TPAB alone…💜🔥

M.rachelle

Girl you talking about the cash app visa sent me I be using that it’s just a debit card Chile 😭😭😭

Kanesha Underwood

Funny enough, American Express giving the money back to customers, no questions asked, when they have fraud claims is the reason why some businesses don’t accept American Express at all.

Dynasty Andrews

I think it’s because Gen Z has zero financial literacy skills. Financial literacy would’ve been something easier to apply decades ago, but because marketing and influencing has become so huge customers are being targeted from every angle, not to mention the rise of services like Afterpay, Klarna, Affirm, etc. Not only are we being heavily marketed to, companies are making it easier for us to access the products even when customers know they can’t afford them

Dynasty Andrews

I hate the rise of these online banking services, like cash app and chime cards. These banks are not real banks. And if you look at the advertising for these types of cards, they are targeted to people who aren’t financially responsible.

Dynasty Andrews

LMAO Kenya wait ntmmm I’ve had that Cash App visa for a while but literally only as a backup debit card 😭😭 100% agree with ppl needing to use real banks but I only use that in place of actually transferring the money ppl send me to my real bank

Mariah L.

oh if sza was signed to rocnation she would absolutely be everywhere. cause you're right, sza stans may know her but the gp has no brand to attach to sza. On a surface level, who is she? like sabrina carpenter nailed her brand this year, so did chappell. Meg def has a brand. Sales, charting, music is all great but she's missing a label that cares

Diana

I think they take us saying he has another album coming as we don't like this album. But noo we just know this isn't an album that took him 2 years to make and there's been album talk with Kendrick since before 1st person shooter. So we know he has something else in the works. This to me is simply an answer to all the talk about him during the beef. And its still a bomb album lol

Jasnia Lewis

dhjhjdss she had to say it three times because Rconation really don't play about Megan!!!

T.H.

no worries! thank you for the conversation and clarification :) and yes, i 100% agree with you that it’s disingenuous AND ahistorical to erase meg from the diss track conversation as a whole this year. there’s such a richness to whackin’ nggaz on wax, and she def upheld the tradition with “hiss,” behind grievances that are far more personal (and consistent) than most of what the men out here were serving!

anaisja

Beef and joking aside, I also think Drake needs to be away from everything for like 3-5 years just to do a mental health check. He’ll be fine but mentally…. Yeah, no.

Dani

Exactly. I’m not even a diehard fan of Kendrick pre-DAMN. but the album is allowed to be great. Let’s calm down! 😅

Dani

I have a chase account but Ive had cash app visa since 2020 for my subscriptions/memberships

Marlie Augustin

I’ve used Chase since high school and it’s never let me down.

Dani

I only have Chase and Chime and that’s the extent of it lol 😆

Dani

Can’t we just like Luther and the album

Zakithi

Amex is the most dependable company baby. They give that money back right away!

Dejavu

GNX is fireeee. I’m not from Cali either.

Dejavu

IF SZA WAS WITH ROCNATION??? I just fell to my knees

Keith Primas

A lot of people like this album that are not from Cali… I love it and I’m from Chicago

Dejavu

Lolol

Rezan

Idk I see what Kenya’s saying. In all of those situations, Drake was definitely benefiting from eating off of either people’s talent/culture/buzz from being a new name/etc, but he was still the artist with the most clout in all those situations. People did not run to listen to these songs because the other artists were on it, they listened to them because of Drake. I do think that the elements that people liked the most about these songs didn’t come from Drake- so he’s not the reason why any of them had staying power, but he is the reason why people initially flocked to them. Drake has been on my shit list since before he dropped Scorpion, but even I can’t deny that the man can move some records

Adelle

Thank you for your response, and my apologies because I definitely did misinterpret your annoyance! Cause while your opinion is unpopular in some spaces, it hasn’t been amongst many Kendrick fans that I’ve seen online. I do agree that it’s doing too much to credit Meg with reigniting the beef, and I can see why that would be annoying to anyone who has been engaged in Kendrick’s music since Control. My problem is that I’ve seen too many Kendrick fans essentially erase Meg’s contributions to diss tracks this year. They’ll make tier lists of all the disses that came out this year and Meg will be nowhere to be found. Rick Ross of all people has gotten more recognition from some of these fans. Cowardly people who pretended to like Drake for the past decade have gotten more props for dissing him even though Meg did before Kendrick made everyone feel comfortable. But you didn’t imply any of this, so that’s definitely me projecting what I’ve seen other Kendrick fans say onto you. Sorry about that again!

Adelle

Nah but fr the hoteps and them do need to shut up💀. If they want to be misogynist and homophobes, I highly recommend they stop dick riding fist.

Rainy Feathers

Wow... Kendrick and Sza are teeny weeny🤣. Where are those two going on tour? Lego Land?

Rainy Feathers

No I really don’t understand why young ppl don’t like traditional banks. My brother is 19 and has to go to his job to pick up his check and then gives me the check and I have to cashApp him the money. He even has a cashApp debit card. Mind you, I opened up a Chase bank account for him a while ago. Idk why he doesn’t use it.

Baddiebey_x

😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

diego

they holding her back real bad. she should be HUGE!!!!!!

diego

i lost it

diego

hand to heart, i’m not tryna be snide when i ask who “y’all” is, cuz i think ur interpreting my annoyance as a denial, and it isn’t. “hiss” is excellent—clearly. i mean, let’s ask the audience!—and she has farrrr more tangible reasons to get those licks in on The Boy. it was a huge moment, in and of itself, and i can receive what JT said in a previous comment about the ‘support BW’ angle being borrowed ammunition bc like… #ok kendrick. what my problem is, is the positing of the song as THE inciting incident for kendrick lamar *specifically* to spark up a beef that goes back to “control,” has been very active since, and was very clearly reignited as a result of “first person shooter.” perhaps this is me being real scorpio-coded and territorial with my sht, but i think it again speaks to how the nuclear fallout of kdot/drake has invited peripheral audiences to engage with the drama and surrounding discourse either for the first time or—again—from outside the club, and as a result, people are viewing it thru the sheen of their own fandom: be they meg stans, be they folks who listen exclusively to select women rappers, be they people who don’t like kendrick as a person, etc. and that’s not a value judgement, because noneeee of us are excluded; maybe it’s my OWN fandom goggles are blinding me to the provocations that make it necessary to keep meg wedged between drake and kendrick. but i did call my take unpopular for a reason!

anaisja

The combination of TDE being dog shit + SZA being so damn picky about her mixes and hating her label she don’t wanna give them shit (if you really do your homework you know there are like 3 different versions of Good Days and 2 different versions of Saturn) is why SZA drops once a decade

diego

when you repeated “IF SZA WAS WITH ROC NATION” and readjusted and said it again I lost it JDMDJDMDJDNDJNDDJ

diego

TDE also don’t know what to do with Doechii. If you look at her output pre Alligator Tears it was a mess. You can hear Doechii trying her best to do what her label thinks she should do (Booty Drop even though i love that song). But after Persuasive the label didn’t DO SHIT!!!!!!!!!! I feel like the Alligator tears rollout TDE gave her no support or like $5 and a good luck and she turned it in as a “Mixtape” instead of her debut album so she still owes them whatever amount of album she owes them. UGHHH. she deserves so much

diego

when drake said "always rappin like you bout to get the slaves freed" i understood what he meant right away bc of how hotep-ish that fandom is but the people were not feeling it that day lmao

OneTwoTrees

I really enjoyed GNX from top to bottom. 🫶🏽

Pearl Kasi

Thank you Kenya! I've been thinking for the longest about how I hate Beyonce vs. Taylor Swift comparisons specifically because I think the more accurate comparison should be SZA and Taylor. Beyonce and Taylor don't have enough in common to compare, they are just both really famous musicians with crazy fanbases.

Aliyah

Oh for sure!! I didn’t mean it in a derogatory way either just the back to back surprise drop then nonchalant ass announcement made me go ohhhh Beyoncé’s son LMAO but yes!! He performed AHAP in one and was probably like yep need this for me soon

Danielle A

I’ve always loved Kendrick’s music, but I’ve never been able to fully call myself a fan because of his politics and small bouts of what I perceive to be hypocrisy. There have just been a few too many verses over the years that have dabbled in misogyny and homophobia for my tastes. Women and the LGBT+ community are often stepped down on to make a point. He attacked Drake through the women and girls he associates with and exploits. People discussing who are “real women” and who aren’t. Then you have a song like Auntie Diaries. I understand what Kendrick was attempting to do, but I maintain the opinion that the execution was poor. The flagrant use of a slur still commonly used amongst Black straight men was unnecessary and the conversation started by many of the fans turned real homophobic and transphobic real quick. Then there’s the bouts of hypocrisy. Coming at Drake for being a pedo and exploiting women, but you’ve got Kodak Black on your last album and work with Metro Boomin. Telling Drake to go be a father, but your first shot was thrown on a track with Future. Fighting allegations about being a domestic abuser while being cool with Dr Dre. I don’t believe that Kendrick agrees with all of the actions of his peers, but he never actually calls them out and continues to work with them. It makes me wonder if Kendrick would be more inclined to publicly ignore Drake’s misdeeds if he was truly part of rap culture. Edit: Oh and I’m sorry Kendrick fans, while y’all enjoyed MMTBS, it’s true that the general public wasn’t feeling it. I definitely remember seeing many people calling Kendrick a flop, Drake didn’t pull that one out of nowhere.

Adelle

SZA is one of the biggest artists for MUSIC lovers in this unseen way. When I was in Nashville there was [ONE] poster for Lana and I posted it her fans went [WILD] it was one poster and think pieces started coming out, in 5 minutes. When she performed in Nashville she had a 5 hour conversation with the fans after the show backstage they LOVE her

Alivia

I’m sorry, but as long as y’all keep trying to deny Meg her flowers, we’re going to bring her up that much more. Although I appreciate that the antics of the hit dog that is Nicki Minaj helped push Hiss to No. 1, I do think she distracted from the fact that it’s more of a Drake diss than anything. Drake got the most lashings on that song, and they were the worst he’s gotten *in the booth* in a hot minute. Not only does that Megan’s Law line apply to Drake and his yes men too, but almost the entire second verse is just Meg whacking him. There were memes online, but who was actually calling Drake a bad bitch and pushing the plastic surgery allegations in their music before Meg? The most that had been brought up before was the changing accents, not even the stuff about Drake and teenage girls was brought up by any of them (probably cause they’re creeps themselves but I digress). Also, although it was for the first verse of Hiss, Meg made it to Genius’s top 10 most searched lyrics of 2024 along with Kendrick. She and Twenty One Pilots are the only other artists up there with him. The impact of Hiss is undeniable

Adelle

The DAMN album is my favorite besides MADD CITY. This album has a lot of flavor and style

Jessica Davis

The cashapp card isn’t a credit card💀 (unless they came out with some new shit ion know about) but not having a real bank account is wild

Gwendolyn Hampton

i will never discredit kendrick's talent in any way, GKMC, untitled unmastered, and DAMN were all albums that were a huge part of me coming up in middle school and high school. i genuinely enjoy a lot of his music. i even thought not like us was a bop! but there is one huge glaring factor that will always sour me on kendrick outside of his music, and that is him as a person. i can't really speak too much on how he lives or does not live by his politics/messages relating to blackness because i'm not black. but what i can and will point out is his hypocrisy as far as uplifting and supporting women. he tries to showcase this family man image, or at least embrace the family man image that is thrust upon him by his audience, and takes it a step further by saying how much he loves women and yada yada. but let's fact check this. 1. calls out drake for being a creep and a weirdo, but yet, brings out dr dre at the pop up? the same dr dre who beat the dog shit out of dee barnes and michel'le? 2. convicted rapist kodak black on mr morale 3. threatening to take his music off spotify in response to them not promoting r kelly's music anymore like.... it's getting weird. i think he is a talented artist but he is not someone who should be looked at as this forward thinking trailblazer on certain topics considering that his actions prove he doesn't have the wherewithal to represent those causes.

jewel

Where did i mention it was fault? Other than saying i think hes a lowkey and quiet hotep himself, which is my personal belief/opinion regardless, i said HIS FANBASE is annoying. Thats it

T_Maureen_I

Ok and im with you when you right because Kendrick’s male fans are INSUFFERABLE! They are hotep-y, and will eat the actual shit out of Kendrick’s ass. I don’t even like to mention I fw Kendrick because suddenly they asking about his discography and where was I when Section.80 dropped 😵‍💫 they are VERY coded. Kendrick became their messiah the day they heard ‘Alright’. Like you said in your video re: LeBron, Kendrick is they DADDY

JT

The problem with drake is that he’s just an arrogant fool, even during the height of the beef the nigga was posting memes reacting to the beef and not in the studio like he should’ve been, just posting nonsense and being a clown, and that’s why his goofy ass lost, now he wanna come crying to us about his label playing in his face, nigga we dgaf lmao you should’ve minded your business and played with your kid, drake is so chronically online it’s not even funny

ceeitrus

Black men putting him on a pedestal is not his fault. He has repeatedly said he’s not anyone’s savior. That’s like people hating Beyoncé bc hive is annoying. He’s an incredible artist and minds his business outside of music. It’s the fans that do too much.

Adrenaline17

Heavy on black people needing to get real bank accounts!!! I worked part time for a while with a lot of 18-22 year olds and I be FLOORED that so many of their primary "banks" are CashApp and Apple Pay (or whatever the hell they call it). I always wondered who in their right mind is using a cashapp card and chile i found tf out. Maybe it's the boomer in me but things I will NEVER trust are cashapp/venmo cards, Temu, Shein, and whatever the hell tiktok shop is. It's crazy too because getting a real bank account is so easy! I got my first one when I was 15! I know the day they come out with SHEIN/TEMU Credit Cards, we as a people are DONE for

Davonte

Sza needs her own stadium tour she’s so popular naturally

Ayan Hassan

Ok but I actually have questions about who you consider a Kendrick fan/what your timeline is looking like?? Because the Cali niggas? Up and it’s stuck. The rest of us and Actual folks that enjoy Kendrick’s music? Also spinning this shit. I’ve listened to it nearly every day since it dropped sister. I feel like you’re potentially analyzing this as a pop Stan savant vs a rap Stan 😅 bc who is this “nobody” you speaking of doll?? The girls are in the Reddit threads tearing it up

JT

DRAKE DOESN’T NEED A NAME TO GET BUZZ?! The man that has ran thru every region of hip hop possible AND got up with the Caribbean girlies??? Drake “I’m from every country in Africa” with them accents didn’t need nobody else to get buzz?? Drake that scooped up every fresh act in the last 5-7 years (Jack Harlow, Ice Spice, Sexyy Red, etc) Yeah ion know about what one big dawg

JT

Oh wow I’m just hitting the 6 min mark and you saying KENDRICK uses Drake and Cole for anything isssssss a choice but imma see you up on it I guess 😅

JT

🎯

JT

I also gotta say Kenya, *us* is a lil strong bc did people have opinions and takes on Mr. Morales? For sure. But just as many folks were GAGGED (unsurprisingly so) with the Kodak feature. N95, Rich Spirit, and Count Me Out were everywhere. Just because people weren’t *talking* about Kendrick didn’t make him irrelevant or obsolete in the slightest.

JT

Thiiiiiiiisssssss part (even though I do see some validity to Meg’s hiss and Kendrick taking the torch and jumping on drake’s head if you wanna read into his ‘support BW’ angle which I do think is genuine to an extent)!! It’s a lot of revisionist interpretation of Kendrick which is wild because if you were ANYWHERE between ‘15-‘19, Kendrick had *something* everyone was jamming to. I’m the same re: not being the hugest fan since DAMN, but frankly Mr. Morale won me back I fear 😅 Kenny has been the king of hip hop and think this year was the first year he didn’t just lean into it but snatched the crown fr

JT

yall i did not know doechii was signed to tde... that's why she made a whole song yelling at them 😭😭😭😭

aiyonna

I am going to have to disagree about the Usher Superbowl performance. I just watched it again last month

Beverly Carter

i’ve always known sza was a star ever since she came out with the hit different x good days mv. somehow, she’s been on an upward trajectory since good days (no fawking thanks to her label) and when she didn’t immediately come out with shirt after the hype the unreleased snippet got?? i was fucking fuminggg like they just shat all over the momentum and success of that song. and she gets love on all the apps, she’s beloved everywhere. but when i saw the success of big boy, some little fuck ass snl skit song? she’s got so much untapped star power it actually makes me nauseous to see it squandered and wasted when i can see what it could EVOLVE into. she’s got all the makings, the equation just hasn’t been solved like she has all the reactants so let’s create the product!!

risa kim

ur so right about sza it's free her

aiyonna

People like the album in Cali 🤷🏽‍♂️

Riffy

this! i truly think, off the top of my head, the only other album i’ve heard people talk about was tyler, and it’s only been a tweet or two. GNX has dominated the timeline since it dropped

anaisja

i’on know dollll, i gotta push back! i think the thing that frustrates me about the analyses of kendrick from non-fans/passive listeners this year is that the takes feel drenched in a sort of recency bias. because he’s good for hiding out between releases, and because of the mixed reception to MMTBS, it’s easily forgotten that kendrick has had the savior/king label on him since GKMC, and it was cemented with TPAB—which, sonically and technically is EXCELLENT, shoddy messaging aside. in terms of stature and acclaim in hip-hop spaces (i’m not talking about numbers—which he HAS done before this year, just sayinggg), he has not been in serious competition with anyone for over a decade now. it’s one thing to be lukewarm or cold on him, bc personal taste is obviously subjective, and there are valid critiques to be made—i’m shooting him hella bail rn, but i’m not even as big a fangirl as i was pre-DAMN. but to treat someone who has been one of the biggest hip-hop artists of his generation as if he NEEEEEEDS a boost from drake and JERMAINE???? COLE???! for cultural relevancy? is bizarre! i think because the drake/kendrick beef became such a global *thing,* and people from so many different pop cultural vantage points have entered the discourse (unpopular, but ppls insistence on mentioning meg and “hiss” every five seconds in relation to kendrick tagging drake’s assss all year is so annoying to me #sawry), a lot of the more niche context has been lost by folks who don’t have as much of a rapport with or, frankly, investment in the trajectory of kendrick’s career and the following he’s cultivated. it just reads as a whole lotta talkin from outside the club. but i ain’t tryna spam, this already an essay chile 😭

anaisja

Listen Kendrick is Hive. He absolutely wants to be Beyonce (non derogatory). More people should aspire to it, especially male artists. I 100% believe he wants to do a stadium tour because of the Renaissance world tour. He absolutely got inspired by what Beyonce was able to do and said ‘I want to do that.’

Birdie Wolf

Seen ZERO clips of that damn Usher super bowl performance 😭😭 Kenya been said it was gonna be forgettable

Amaya A

Like Chris Brown is still fine when everything is said and done, so nothing will really change for Drake. But like Kenya said, mentally I don’t know if Drake can recover. And the lawsuit to me is showing that he can’t. I don’t think Drake is doing a lawsuit to show people Kendrick cares about success. He thinks everyone is out to get him.

Birdie Wolf

When I saw the presale required you to have a Visa card with Cashapp, I hollered. That is basically giving the Rush Card with the Baby Phat logo on it😭. As far as Aubrey still having success, of course he is. My best friend is still a fan and she doesn’t care about how he attacks women on his songs. All horrible and disgusting men will forever be redeemed. Look at how they are trying to free Tory. Drake needs to take time off and really focus on his mental health. Maybe do a complete rebrand, distance himself from incels like Akademiks, and release more sing songy music. He’ll be fine because horrible men always recover.

Tiara

I heard you say get away from TDE, SZA’s man— and I had completely different thoughts. I feel like you know everything lol

Leo Vickers

lol yeah I saw the cash app Visa card presale and fell out. Well at least Kendrick is trying to get black folks to show up. That’s who that is for. Those people sat down and said what is the best way to ensure black people will be first in line for tickets. Sorry but cash app Visa card will do it.

Birdie Wolf

Don't care for Kendrick but I want that beige bitch Drake to burn in hell, I'll never forget what he did to Megan, it's fuck him forever

TemTem

Wasn’t sza outselling Taylor Swift? Like that’s how good she was with the terrible management. Lowkey spooked Ms Taylor so bad she ramped up the Payola for TTPD.

Birdie Wolf

CASH APP VISA 😭😭😭

Jaden Bautista

Same! My timeline has been flooded with love for that album

brit noël

Right , she been talking about the deluxe for 2 years now 😭 30 minutes been up

KRYSTAL

I’m really glad you brought up those last 10 minutes about Kendrick fans because this is what I’ve been saying for years. Frankly, I don’t care if any Kendrick stans drag me , but he has never impressed me one bit. And no I’m not talking about him as a rapper or denying his talent, his talent is undeniable I’m just talking about him as a person. Why so many Black people particularly black men put him up on a pedestal as if he’s black Jesus or The second coming of christ is so ridiculous to me. The bar is literally in hell . Like u said, so many black men don’t have role models outside of men who sing songs/dribble a ball . This cant be who yall are putting up there as a black revolutionary. Kendrick Lamar has also used a lot of misogynistic tones in his music so I’m confused as to why his hotep stans are trying to make him a saint. “Drake fucks white women and strippers, but not black women” so if he was sticking his dick in black women would that make him more likable to u? It would be okay for him to throw use and throw away black women when hes done with them, but not the latin white and all the other non black women he sleeps with? What does his sex life have to do with anything? Dragging sex workers for what? Also, although I don’t believe he just avoids black women altogether , and i think they may be in the minority that he sleeps with, is that so bad ? Is it bad that black women are not sleeping with drake? What exactly does he have to offer? if anything, black women are dodging a bullet with his colorist misogynistic culture vulture ass. , the same Kendrick Lamar, who has allegedly cheated on his wife many times with non-black women as well . Hoteps seriously need to die off. And Kendrick is a low-key hotep himself idc

T_Maureen_I

i love yapping in your comments so i got more to say: you hit the nail on the head about kendrick’s male fans. some of the disses kendrick aimed at drake only landed bc ppl are misogynists, so it was ironic for him to call drake a misogynist imo. even some of his lyrics on his previous album made me cringe real bad. i was still bumping them disses bc i hate drake so mf much, but you’re exactly right. kendrick’s fans are like dr. umar but for hip hop.

Imani Branch

i didnt expect tiktok to eat it up like theyve been doing lmfaoo especially the dodger blue line dance 😂 im not learning that chile its gonna sit right w that tamia line dance

tanieah

I have to respectfully disagree. Girl even if folks didn’t like big steppers they still showed up for the tour. It’s the highest grossing rap tour. Kendrick just doesn’t be outside like that. His stans are just more lowkey than other stans but he got them, and they show up for him. dothive don’t have much to fight for. Everyone accepts him as rap Jesus. He doesn’t really have any real competition for the throne. What is there to talk about? And Kendrick don’t be outside anyway.

Birdie Wolf

agreed its definitely his most straightforward album so far and definitely the best thing he couldve done with everything that happened this year.. 😭 replay value is definitely there

tanieah

Commercially, he'll be fine but in the culture he'll always have that stain. The pure hip hope heads haven't really fucked with him for awhile and they definitely don't now just from the antics alone.

Kayla Sanders

‘if SZA was with ROC NATION’ x 3 is killing me 😭

Imani Branch

(it's like you knew I was about to eat dinner lmao) the tour announcement made me relieved that I saw sza on her headlining arena tour last year. I had a ball!!! I'm moreso curious about when she'll release new music bc I hope she doesn't expect all those fans singing along to two-year-old songs on a STADIUM TOUR speaking of, she def should move up to a larger label bc (not to be stan twitter-y, but) the numbers show she's mega popular and has a lot of motion behind her, despite her limited discography and constant delays on new music. atp, sza's career is operating on her talent level and pure fan love bc Punch at TDE just doesn't wanna do his damn job and release her shit!!! she said she was dropping two new albums before 2025, but does she know she has 30 minutes?!

rudi!!!

Yeah, I’m not on Twitter, but people are definitely giving it love on TikTok..

T_Maureen_I

which is nuts bc it's not like they have a crazy huge roster w/ artists who release a bunch of music

rudi!!!

💯

Beverly Burgess

yeah fr everyone on my timeline loves the album, not even talking about other music at all. just talking about the tracks on there. i personally really fw the album. i think they’re meeting him where he’s at with the album. it’s obvious what he’s trying to do and the audience isn’t trying to make it any more than that, which is why they call it more of a mixtape.

Imani Branch

Kendrick Lamar got Asian ppl wearing shirts saying “THEY NOT LIKE US”. YOU are “THEY”.

Wesley Lindsey

I definitely thought SZA was w/ Roc Nation

rubymorales

saw the tour announcement and said chile does sza even want to tour that long ????

Dee

they suck when it comes to promoting their artists idk wtf goin on at the tde camp

tanieah

i have to disagree on the love for the album by the fans bc i personally see a lot of people loving the album 😭 maybe its my algorithm idk but he has potential hits on there! also i think gnx is a slow burn and will get bigger hype after the super bowl. i think the hype for more music is bc ppl close to kendrick have been hinting at a deluxe or second album but they BEEN doing that so like.. ✋🏽😒

tanieah

tde does do sza dirty HOWEVER sza is a typical scorpio celebrity (bar drake) where they fake like they barely wants to be famous lmao (frank this shot for you)

Eva

As a Kendrick fan it'd be nice if people who aren't Kendrick fans stop telling us how we feel about this album This is one of his best album.

It seems like doechii has the same issue with TDE. Like interviewers will always be like “how is it with the amazing TDE” and she’ll be like uhhhhhh cool

I want to agree on the SZA and TDE point... Because TDE truly don't know how to manage their female talent i.e. SZA and Doechii... But SZA also gives me Summer Walker vibes; like she has some aversion to superstardom or doesn't have charisma to hold centre stage on her own. She is a star on paper but doesn't seem to have fame hunger 🤷🏾‍♀️ But I wanna see what Roc Nation could do with a SZA 🤭

sza should be taylor swift level of famous

Idk if you did or not but did you listen to the full big steppers album? Count me out, die hard, united in grief, saviour interlude? those were all amazing songs imo. And I don’t think it was hard to break down the message of the album at all, especially in those specific songs.

Do you find Jay Z’s albums to be generally good?
