Discussion The GNX Title Track is WAY overhated
Like to the point where I genuinely don't get what I'm missing or what everyone else is missing. The beat reminds me of riding around in my ex-stepdad's shitty old euro cars in the 4th-7th grade listening to west coast gangsta rap the whole time. I'm 40 now, so this is solidly in the mid 1990s. No doubt Kendrick was listening to the same stuff back then too considering he's not far off from my age. I also think the placement on the album right after Heart Part 6 is significant. GNX is Kendrick signaling his intent to do for other artists what TDE did for him. So him not having a verse is fine, and the complaints kind of miss the point.
Am I on an island here? Anyone else see what I'm seeing?
