With the New Year quickly approaching, Former President Barack Obama revealed his annual list of the tunes that carried him throughout 2024. Kendrick Lamar’s “Squabble Up” made the cut among the selected few. The track appears on the rapper’s GNX album, released on Nov.22. Spanning 12 songs, GNX works as an ode to Los Angeles and the West Coast music scene.
Since its release, GNX has had a flurry of conversation. Kendrick seemingly disses Drake, Lil Wayne, and white comedians, inserting themselves into Black spaces. Kendrick Lamar wasn’t the only industry heavyweight to crack the list. Beyoncé’s “Texas Hold Em,” Asake and Travis Scott’s “Active,” and Tyla, Skillibeng, and Gunna’s “Jump” also appeared to make the list.
Meek Mill Calls Out Andrew Schulz In Defense Of Kendrick Lamar
Meek Mill had a few thoughts about comedian Andrew Schulz’s recent remarks about Kendrick Lamar’s stance on white comedians. On Thursday (Dec.5), Meek hopped on X, writing, “White man saying they’ll rape black men openly is extreme …” In Meek Mill’s opinion, Black masculinity is nothing to joke about. “Black manhood [is] not a joke! I [have] seen the same guy saying I was gay on his stand-up!” He added: “My white friends like it’s a joke! We don’t joke like that in the black community at all!!”
On Nov.22, Kendrick Lamar dropped off his 12-track project, GNX. The album’s first track, “Wacced Out Murals,” caused a flurry of comments on social media. However, the verse addressing white comedians appeared to bother Andrew Schulz. “Don’t let no white comedian talk about Black women, that’s law,” Lamar raps. Not long after, Schulz responded to Lamar’s verse, assuming the line was directed at him. On the other hand, the rapper never mentions Schulz nor alludes to who he was taking a shot at.
