The rules of engagement never apply to them—they are always the exception.
WITH his latest album, GNX, Kendrick Lamar, Grammy-winning artist and 2018 Pulitzer Prize winner, adds the final chapter to one of the most influential years in hip-hop. In March, his diss track “Like That” targeted fellow rap heavyweights Drake and J. Cole, igniting a series of exchanges that shook the rap industry. Amid the chaos, Kendrick maintained his dominance, coming out unscathed, landing a Super Bowl performance, and then dropping his highly anticipated sixth studio album.
While the album is yet another masterful showcase of Kendrick's ability to create a cohesive body of work, it also serves as a triumphant victory lap, solidifying his position as the undisputed "top dog" in the rap industry. However, one track from the album has particularly captured the internet’s attention, quickly rising to the forefront of cultural conversation this week.
On the track “wacced out murals,” Kendrick subtly references an issue first raised on the comedy podcast FLAGRANT in July, which later went viral and sparked calls for the cancellation of everyone involved. During the podcast, British podcasters James & Fuhad of the ShxtsNGigs podcast introduced FLAGRANT host and comedian Andrew Schulz to the concept of the “black girlfriend effect,” a trend that had gained popularity on TikTok.
