Now let's get an extended edition 👀 Give Roddy some more time damnit! 😄

u/wonkboy Matter fact, I ain't even bleed him yet, can I bleed him? Bet 1d ago

I'm wishing for 1 of 2 things:

  1. GNX deluxe
  2. Tyler, the creator collab

21

u/Truth_Malice 1d ago

I mean Tyler went over the Hey Now beat so we're inching even closer

6

u/Whisker-biscuitt 1d ago

We need to map out Tyler and Kendrick tour, see if we find spots they may be in near the safe time!

u/DAMNCitymAAdKid 1d ago
  1. new Black Hippy track

8

u/Abdoolski 1d ago
  1. More Sza.

Luther, Gloria, and 30 for 30 are all home runs in their own right.

u/100spicypotatochips I'M IN THE CLUB 19h ago

And earlier works like Babylon and All the Stars

u/ShiningRedDwarf 1d ago

Hitting us with that catchy ass hook at the tail end of the song and just ending there was criminal.

89

u/Yalldummy100 1d ago

I’m feeling vindicated rn bc some said this was the worst song on the album

58

u/crispykfc 1d ago

anyone who says that is faded af

23

u/KinsellaStella 1d ago

Lowkey my favorite. Especially since it came out of the blue (pun not intended but apt).

15

u/ShiningRedDwarf 1d ago

I think at the time there were so many other colorful tracks that jumped out at the listener this one was overshadowed.

But I’ve gone through the “holy shit, actually this track is actually stupidly good!” over and over.

I mean there isn’t even a bad feature. They all hit. And considering they’re all largely unknowns, it’s such a crazy feat. Kendrick brings out the best in everyone.

7

u/wnr3 1d ago

GNX is the undisputed uncontested worst song on the album by a considerable margin

8

u/yandeer 1d ago

y'all are so wrong for this

9

u/wnr3 1d ago

Just my opinion as we converse over this subjective art form

13

u/braaahms Lookin’ For The Broccoli 1d ago

I get what you’re saying but calling something the undisputed worst isn’t leaving much room for subjectivity either lol

4

u/its-a-real-name 1d ago

Your original comment insinuated this wasn’t necessarily just your opinion, especially with the “undisputed uncontested” 😭

2

u/yandeer 1d ago

oh yeah it's totally fair haha, i just love that track so much personally, but of course it is all subjective 👍

10

u/jiggywolf 1d ago

Hear me out. I probably would’ve love it during the shady aftermath reign in 2002-05.

I don’t like the beat. But some flows hit a pocket that made it bearable . Last dude really hurt it too I think.

3

u/yandeer 1d ago

fair enough, like i logically understand why people don't like the beat, but i never even thought about that until i started seeing what other people were saying. i saw someone else say it's the type of beat meant to be felt blasted in the car, and i can definitely see that, and encourage people to try it if they haven't yet.

1

u/MatureUsername69 1d ago

I like GNX, but what song on the album is actually sonically worse than GNX?

2

u/yandeer 1d ago

see to me it doesn't sound sonically bad at all, none of them do so it's a tough question 😂 it's just different, i love that about it!

1

u/Trick_Masterpiece_20 1d ago

Like I get that in the sense of it's like the most discordant song on the album, probably one of the most in his discography, but it's also just a bomb ass posse cut. Honestly I'm surprised that no one has brought up the similarities to the song this obviously is modeled after

1

u/Remarkable_Mix_3093 1d ago

What song is it modeled after?

1

u/Trick_Masterpiece_20 1d ago

Where my eyes can see - Busta Rhymes the drum pattern is slightly different but I feel like that's where it came from

u/agent_beats8 1d ago

it’s either gnx or wacced out murals, don’t crucify me for that

u/ElDuderino_92 1d ago

Ngl this song creeped up into being my favorite of the album. It’s so good

6

u/Top_Nectarine4889 1d ago

It’s not my favorite but same happened to me. Used to be my only skip (if any), but love it now. Was vibing to it earlier. Wouldn’t mind an extended version. Def a vibe

17

u/Jaydamane25 1d ago

This is dope bc I felt it wasn’t talked about enough. I mean I get it. There was so much going on with that album

6

u/ARussianW0lf 1d ago

It got overshadowed by Luther I think, although I always preferred dodger blue

u/Draftycracker07 1d ago

Ooooooooo, don't take it personal🗣🗣🔥🔥

You won't be the first to know🗣🔥🔥

Just might be the first to go🗣🗣🔥

u/DG04511 1d ago

Have you ever took a fade and ran three more back to back? Oh, you haven’t? Then STFU and keep it rap.

u/jiggywolf 1d ago

Best naysayer diss. Probably drake but probably everybody too

13

u/MorthosTheRed 1d ago

I LOVE the melodic section on this song, in particular the "west side, get the money for sure" vocal layering

u/joshoohwaa 1d ago

I could listen to that part on loop fr

u/AnotherSolelessKid 1d ago

With regards to this line and the beef, was 50 Cent hatin on him prior to this song’s release?

Don’t take it per-son-al.

u/WorkerOk6991 REINCARNATED & HEART V R THE SONGS OF THE CENTURY 1d ago

Fun fact : it was nearly impossible to get all songs to sell 100k copies or more on albums due to how music was distributed

But since streaming started this has been pretty possible, the first album to have all songs sell 100k (not only singles) was twenty one pilots blurryface, it came out right when streaming blew up and the band itself had a mental commercial peak

How do people check how many units are sold for songs?

Wake me when it’s platinum

u/The_Real_Shen_Bapiro 1d ago

I think the fact it came straight after TV off kinda lessened its impact but on the other hand it works so well as a track to calm down from the insane energy of the previous one.

Kendrick hasn’t certified anything in years

Surprised, because I hate this song. Legit worst song on the album for me. But we all have our tastes 🤷🏽‍♂️

u/Peter_Griffins_Chin 1d ago

Yall can kill me in the comments. I haven't listened to this song past 30 seconds lol. Just doesn't do anything for me.

My least favorite songs are GNX, TV Off, and Dodger Blue. Sorry not sorry 😭😭. Idk what but they just don't resonate at all for me.
