I'm wishing for 1 of 2 things:
- GNX deluxe
- Tyler, the creator collab

u/Truth_Malice 1d ago
I mean Tyler went over the Hey Now beat so we're inching even closer

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!

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

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

u/KinsellaStella 1d ago
Lowkey my favorite. Especially since it came out of the blue (pun not intended but apt).

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.

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

u/yandeer 1d ago
y'all are so wrong for this

u/wnr3 1d ago
Just my opinion as we converse over this subjective art form

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

u/its-a-real-name 1d ago
Your original comment insinuated this wasn’t necessarily just your opinion, especially with the “undisputed uncontested” 😭

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 👍

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.

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.

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

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

u/Remarkable_Mix_3093 1d ago
What song is it modeled after?

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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.
