The Pop Out: A Preview To Kendrick Lamar's Big Show
On Wednesday, June 19th, 2024, Kendrick Lamar will grace the stage for The Pop Out, a one-off concert to be held at Kia Forum in Inglewood, California. Considered a Juneteenth celebration, it will be K. Dot's first major performance after his highly publicised surgical execution of Canadian rapper Drake.
Sumit and Chris have a bit of fun and imagine what the anticipated show will look and feel like. They discuss opening and closing tracks, deep cuts, guest appearances, special moments, and more. In typical fashion, they also go off on tangents praising the new Rapsody album, discussing Pete Rock's consistency, DJ Premier's 'evolving' sound, and a few other useless tidbits.
As K. Dot so eloquently said, "sometimes you have to pop out"... you know the rest, and if you don't, it's your fault.

The Great Rap War Breakdown: Drake Vs Kendrick Lamar
A few weeks ago, we linked up to talk about the burgeoning Hip Hop triple-threat match that we all thought was about to go down with Drake, Kendrick Lamar and J. Cole. Well, a lot has happened since then. J. Cole said "Sorry, nah" and left Drake and Kendrick to it. Bwoy... it's been a mad couple of weeks. Diss records have been made, shows have been fired, egos bruised, tea spilt, business exposed, family members violated and sleep has been lost. We're here to break it down to the very last compound, from the songwriting, strategy, best lines and more. As much as we love the music, we also explore the cultural themes around culture, identity, appropriation and history that remained prevalent throughout what we think will go down as the best battle in Hip Hop history.
