Kendrick Lamar – GNX



Kendrick Lamar kept up his 2024 theme of stopping the world in its tracks with his surprise album GNX. The 12-track, 44-minute effort opened up with fiery shots at Lil Wayne and Snoop Dogg on “wacced out murals,” reflecting on the reactions to him being selected for the Super Bowl.

The album then descends into a mix of West Coast bops and pensive soulful cuts, tapping Mustard yet again and a slew of local west coast artists that people may not have been familiar with. If fans and naysayers wished K. Dot collaborated more with hometown acts or provided more “hits,” they will likely walk away satisfied with GNX.

Did Keem say that?

“Everyone happy again or y’all need another month till ya need some more”

Plus, Kendrick’s own promo has a snippet not on this album and shows two of those rides of his

West West on the radar.

The old samples gave an incredible vibe to the album. This is dope.

This definitely the safest and easiest to listen to Album he’s dropped since GKMC.   Givin me major 90s vibes thanks to the samples and overall vibe.   Love this shit. Makes the Cube album unlistenable apart from 4-5 tracks

[WCThang]

Gotta marinate a little longer but this definitely one of K. Dot best albums. So many tracks are a 5/5.

Best album of the 2024 so far.  Love it that he went straight west coast on this one.  Did Ali mix the album?  The production is incredible and overall sound is amazing.

Honestly production sounded ruff and not polished enough to me. This gives a mixtape taste to the album and also brought me to the days we were buying cassettes. So i think they prefered this type of mixtape vibe and ruff sound consciously. I need a walkman and cassette to listen to this album as soon as possible.

IMO it is mastered and produced better the most of the albums these days - especially Cube’s Man Down which sounds horrible as for such a veteran as Cube.
