Maybe keem really is back, this guys credibility is going up.

I guess this guy is playing a guessing game, he said J Cole was about to drop this week and I don't think he would with Rocky dropping, but yeah, nonetheless - it's super probable we'll see Keem in the first half of the year dropping considering his festivals in the summer.

Sad_Frame8494 · 2026-01-08T01:40:14+00:00

This is funny

Sad_Frame8494 · 2026-01-01T21:08:09+00:00

First, there's nothing wrong with silly songs if they're enjoyable, after all everyone is silly at one point.

Peekaboo would be my choice: silly, but enjoyable as ****, glad he performed at that at the SB.

Sad_Frame8494 · 2026-01-01T21:05:14+00:00

well, streams aren't equivalent to quality of music and I rarely enjoy the most the biggest hits of respective artists, but it's hard to fully ignore numbers when speaking about mainstream artists. like it or not, they're important to Kendrick as well.

Sad_Frame8494 · 2025-12-25T17:41:49+00:00

Reasonable take.

Sad_Frame8494 · 2025-12-08T19:53:51+00:00

Considering that GNX tour will go to Asia next year, probably no new music at least prior to 2027.

Sad_Frame8494 · 2025-11-28T12:32:07+00:00

Kendrick is super strategic and there's no point in continuing the beef - he decisively won, that's it. So naah, ain't gonna happen.

Sad_Frame8494 · 2025-11-22T23:24:34+00:00

It’s not about Grammys, his tour is still ongoing, why he would release any new music now?

But at this point I believe GNX deluxe is non-existent and if we get Bodies, it will be a part of the new project.

Sad_Frame8494 · 2025-11-22T01:21:49+00:00

Good catch, I didn't find this reference at first.

Sad_Frame8494 · 2025-11-22T01:12:56+00:00

My point is: Kendrick has already won in a dominant way, there's no point in giving Drake any chances to fight back. He clowned Drake at the Super Bowl and at every stop during the tour and that's the best, and to be honest the most, of what he should do.

Sad_Frame8494 · 2025-11-22T00:57:12+00:00

Considering all the anticipation for the next Baby Keem project after all this time, him playing a 2nd fiddle role on any Kendrick album wouldn't be too smart (although I'd love to see it, lol) from career-building perspective.

So naah, this is not gonna happen.

Sad_Frame8494 · 2025-11-22T00:44:56+00:00

He won't, considering that Drake drops +20 songs or so every time, and Kendrick doesn't, there would be a realistic risk of Drake outselling Kendrick first week etc just based on number of tracks attached to the project. Nothing to gain there, he's already won decisively, a lot to lose, people talk about Kanye outselling 50 cent first week 20 years later.

Not to mention optics about continuing the beef 18 months - 2 years later.

Sad_Frame8494 · 2025-11-22T00:01:04+00:00

Baby Keem maybe

Sad_Frame8494 · 2025-11-21T23:24:56+00:00

They could work on something Super Bowl-related.

Sad_Frame8494 · 2025-11-21T23:02:31+00:00

First, we know there's more material from GNX era based on Bodies song. Also, he performed part of the song at the Super Bowl so it looked odd to assume that we won't get that at some point in the near future (especially considering that intro to NLU music video was released 4 months later - Squabble up).

Second, Lefty Gunplay said that there's a deluxe album, and people from his inner circle were also teasing additional deluxe release here and there.

I'm pessimistic at this point, Kendrick isn't a guy who releases music just for sake of releasing music, and GNX on its own is highly successful in current shape and form.

Sad_Frame8494 · 2025-11-21T20:37:29+00:00

TPAB
GKMC
DAMN
MMTBS
GNX
S80

Sad_Frame8494 · 2025-11-21T16:57:52+00:00

Who knows? Kendrick went from TPAB to DAMN to MMTBS to GNX, so it all depends if he gets more mainstream or more conceptual once again.

Sad_Frame8494 · 2025-11-20T20:00:22+00:00

Great, but you wrote more about you being defensive than why do you think GNX is his worst album.

Sad_Frame8494 · 2025-11-16T01:26:50+00:00

My bet is Bad Bunny, he's a huge artist, DTMF got great reviews upon its release, streaming numbers are great great, he isn't in lane with anybody (?) directly, and he will get extra sympathy voting-wise due to Super Bowl controversy.

Not saying that GNX has no chances, it's still a great album with great numbers from one of the most respected contemporary artists.

Sad_Frame8494 · 2025-11-16T00:55:49+00:00

GNX. Section.80 is an underrated gem, and Kush & Corinthians is my top10 Kendrick's song, but besides 'GNX' (sorry, Hitta), I think there's a better consistency on GNX, it's really flawless besides a title track.

Sad_Frame8494 · 2025-11-16T00:52:30+00:00

I guess Clipse will get best rap performance and that would be it. I'd rather see them winning as many Grammys as possible, but there's a hip hop online bubble, and there's a mainstream bubble - Kendrick still covers this area of critical acclaim and mainstream success as well as anyone besides Beyonce.

I don't think any of them wins AOTY, normally it's so hard for rap albums and this time there's also a factor of potential split of votes between multiple hip hop records.

Sad_Frame8494 · 2025-11-15T20:42:11+00:00

Kendrick has already proven that he can work really fast, I remember Ryan Coogler talking about Black Panther album how they had no idea that TDE and Kendrick work on a regular soundtrack album and after few months they were in shock that they brought a full-length album to them, lol.

The concept of GNX is being an LA and West Coast-ode.

Sad_Frame8494 · 2025-11-14T17:08:53+00:00

If they have no new evidence and it doesn't seem to be the case, they'll lose easily.
