<p>This week on our season finale of "I’ve Been Meaning To Listen To That", we review GNX by Kendrick Lamar with special guests Racquel Callahan (The Chi, Swagger) and Christina Carty! Plus, we dive deep into:</p><p> • Whether there are flaws in viewing Kendrick as an inflated concept rather than a flawed man and artist <br>• How GNX serves as a natural sequel and evolution of To Pimp a Butterfly, DAMN., and Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers, incorporating the teachings of Eckhart Tolle <br>• The Super Bowl halftime performance—was it exactly what it needed to be, or did Kendrick take a half(time) measure? <br>• Why we, as a society, should avoid crowning Kendrick as a “culture savior” and learn from past mistakes <br>• How Kendrick innovates and elevates the West Coast sound while staying true to his roots <br>• Is Drake still part of the culture? And where could he go as a human being post-beef (without right-wing grifting)? <br>• Does the title track GNX sound like being trapped in a 2-liter bottle filled with 808s? <br>• …and more! </p><p>Subscribe to our Patreon series: "I've Been Meaning To Watch That"! </p><p>PATREON SUPPORTERS: Sean Wilkinson Samuel Lee Stenley Philippe Jon Butts Tanner Richard Craft Kiersten Nickel Carissa Zaffiro </p><p>SOURCES: Kendrick Lamar GNX review by Dakota West Foss <a href="https://www.sputnikmusic.com/review/89250/Kendrick-Lamar-GNX/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">https://www.sputnikmusic.com/review/89250/Kendrick-Lamar-GNX/</a> </p><p>Kendrick Lamar Sneak Disses America... by FD Signifier <br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=42hduL6bDJs&t=86s" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=42hduL6bDJs&t=86s</a> </p><p>Barbie, Spider-Punk and Jester's Privilege by Nickolas Nameolas <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KjNSOCI9wQo" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KjNSOCI9wQo</a> </p><p>Follow Racquel Callahan on Instagram (@itstherac) </p><p>Follow Jon Butts at (@jonbuttsishere)</p><p>Follow Andrew Ambrose Lee on Instagram (@andrewambroselee) </p><p>Follow Stenley Philippe on Instagram (@snapasten) </p><p>Cover Art by Megan Rika Young (@meganrika) </p><p>Theme Song by OTNES (Twitter: @mxotnes Instagram: @mxotnes) </p><p>Follow us at (@ibmtltt) on Tiktok & Instagram, and email us at [email protected] </p><p>Have a good daaay!</p>
