Snoop Dogg to Kendrick Lamar ten years ago: "You better run with it."
In 2011 (just 1 month after the release of 'Section.80') a group of West Coast icons passed the torch to Kendrick. Since then, he has dropped 3 albums, won 13 Grammys, and received a Pulitzer Prize.
One of my favorite things about “Not Like Us” is when Kendrick starts humming like a Baptist preacher and then has the nerve to sing them next few bars in a full blues cadence. It’s SO Black. And that humming is like a war call. It gets me so hype. I can’t be the only one.
A lot of old heads are trying to pick & choose when they want to support beef because they now have corporate affiliations & hip hop has grown globally but no one had this stance on Women & Children being harmed when Faith Evans & Dee Barnes were thrown into rap beef in the 90’s.
