Kendrick Lamar on Friday dropped a new music video for his album ‘GNX’. The release features 12 tracks and comes months after the rapper ‘beefed’ with Drake. Only earlier this week, producer DJ Snake claimed that Taylor Swift teamed up with Lamar for a new song. However, that is not true. The listing does not mention the ‘Love Story’ singer.
Swift’s involvement was expected by thousands of fans, especially since she named Lamar for a remix of ‘Bad Blood’ and he once thanked her for supporting not only my music but just the hip-hop culture. There’s really no gap. It’s music and it feels good’.
However, Lamar has managed to diss Drake, with references to his ‘Taylor Made Freestyle’ on ‘Wacced Out Murals’. A line reads: “Snoop posted ‘Taylor Made.’ I prayed it was the edibles/ I couldn’t believe it; it was only right for me to let it go.”
The teaser opens with Kendrick Lamar getting out of his car in a garage where another vehicle with lights on is situated before the video pans to the rapper leaning on his car rapping.
“I’m carryin’ heavier hearts right now / I can power lift with Olympians too / I’m carrying’ various darts right now / I desert this bitch like tiramisù / See, we going’ body for body, I hand you a body / I’m probably a better masseuse / I really don’t bother anybody, but they run it by me if I got to clear out the r—,” he raps.
