How Kendrick Lamar And Big Sean's Relationship Went Wrong

... Mar. 23, 2017: Kendrick Lamar releases "The Heart Part 4". With almost three years of perceived subliminals coming Kendrick's way from Sean, it was only a matter of time before Kendrick addressed it, right? Once the public got their hands on "The Heart Part 4," many felt it was clear that Kendrick was gunning for Sean and the darts he's thrown. My fans can't wait for me to son your punk ass and crush your whole lil shit. I'll Big Pun your punk ass you a scared lil bitch. Tip-toeing around my name nigga you lame. And when I get at you homie don't you just tell me you was just playin. 'I was just playing K-Dot, c'mon you know a nigga rock with you, bro'. Shut the fuck up you sound like the last nigga I know. Might end up like the last nigga I know. Oh you don't want to clash? Yeah nigga I know. Again, judging based on what we've ...

From Hip-hop To Supreme And Palace

... parka and P for Palace cap. Will, another queue member, wears Supreme army fatigues. Stylist Lotta Volkova, fashion’s current favourite mouthpiece, caused a stir last year when she declared “there are no subcultures any more”. But the hypebeast scene has all the characteristics of one, both in the gathering of young people on street corners and the obsession over the “right” item to be part of the tribe. In his 1979 book, Subculture: The Meaning of Style , Dick Hebdige argues that “humble objects can be magically appropriated; ‘stolen’ by subcultural groups and made to carry ‘secret’ meanings which express, in code, a form of resistance.” Hebdige pointed to punk’s safety pin but the same could be said of streetwear items such as the Supreme Obama hoody or the Palace Elton John T-shirt. Supreme’s New York City store, on Lafayette Street, is hypebeast’s centre. In 2014, when the brand launched a collaboration with Nike, the NYPD shut the launch down due to concerns for public ...

So What Is Kendrick Lamar Actually Dropping On April 7

... Kendrick probably won't be performing new material from the album until he hits the road for a lengthy tour. Then again, he could drop an album and announce his tour simultaneously. Here's where we need to account for Kendrick's previous album rollout. Let's skip Untitled Unmastered , since that was more of a b-sides/afterglow project. "i" came out nearly six months before To Pimp a Butterfly was released, and while its early drop may have been to grab some Grammy shine (it worked; the song won Best Rap Performance and Best Rap Song), cutting K-Dot's rollout to two weeks would be a drastic change. Even in an era in which surprise drops have become the norm, there's still something to gain from a more conventional rollout. Devil's advocate: Kendrick revealed the release date for To Pimp a Butterfly two weeks before it was supposed to be released. And then it dropped a week ahead of its intended release. But let's keep it real here. Who is really pulling the strings when it comes to TDE releases? TDE CEO Anthony "Top Dawg" Tiffith. He's been supportive of "The Heart Part 4" and confirmed the album is coming soon, but no release date has been hinted ...

You Shouldn't Underestimate Drake In A Beef With Kendrick Lamar

... with diss tracks—including the immaculate “Back to Back”—but cold-hearted, Internet-born tactics that drove the nail in the coffin. (See: the meme-filled demolition derby that was OVO Fest 2015.) To this day, Drake keeps punching at Meek when he’s down. Despite his persona as the soft Canadian perpetually in his feelings, Drizzy and the OVO gang are ready for that action. Sitting and plotting in a Toronto studio like it’s the Legion of Doom HQ. Kendrick is not Meek, though—he’s far more savvy, he’s a better rapper and a better songwriter, and has a far more capable brain trust in his immediate corner—which would make this the biggest challenge of Drake’s career. But to say this would be a walk in the park for Dot is willfully ignorant of historical evidence. Sure, Kendrick can out rap everyone, but beef is about more than just that. And it’s foolish to think that Drake hasn’t already prepared for this moment, that he doesn’t have doesn’t already ...

Why Drake Is A Genius And Kendrick Is The King

... from his widespread audience, Drake broke single-day streaming records on both Spotify (76.3 million) and Apple Music (89.9 million). So basically, Drake is rolling in it even more than before, but how did this “playlist” make such a huge impact in such a short amount of time. Well, the project contains 23 songs that appeal to all of Drake’s variety of listeners. It can be broken up into four different categories of songs: rapper Drake, singer Drake, soliloquy Drake and feature Drake. Rapper Drake is the good ol’ Drizzy Drake we know and love from the Young Money days that can really spit bars. He showcases his ability to be considered as an elite rapper in the game through songs like “Free Smoke” and “Do Not Disturb.”. The combination of egocentric lyrics and crisp vocals gel perfectly with absolutely incredible production (as usual) from Noah “40” Shebib. Then there is singer Drake. He’s the vulnerable and extremely relatable pop-star the general public loves. A few of those songs include “Passionfruit,” “Get It Together” (the “One Dance” alias) and “Fake Love.” These pieces have very popular sounding production but offer a more relaxed set of vocals. These are ...
