Kendrick Lamar revealed the simplest tune to write down from GNX, and it was surprisingly not the two-part “television off” or the name-drop-laden “wacced out murals.” On Friday (Feb. 7), the Compton rapper cruised round in his 1987 Buick GNX with Timothée Chalamet, the place he shared “man on the backyard” was truly essentially the most pure to translate into phrases.
In a 3 ½-minute video shared forward of the Tremendous Bowl LIX halftime present, Lamar defined, “With my tasks, [there will] at all times be that one document … that I need everybody to listen to, as a way to push the narrative or simply the message and tone that I wish to get throughout. I can have so many different information which have totally different narratives and tones, , like reflection, proper?”
He went on to say, “To order an area for that one which I need everybody to listen to, that’s what pushes me. That’s why I like ‘man on the backyard.’ Even the truth that it’s on the prime of the document.”
Of all of the tracks on GNX, “man on the backyard” is likely to be the least common, provided that it lacked the jabs and sly references that fueled a lot of the Pulitzer Prize winner’s 2024 run. As a substitute, Lamar took a second to mirror on why he “deserves all of it,” from respect and accolades to more cash and freedom.
“I imply that s**t, bro. ‘man on the backyard,’ I imply each phrase on that motherf**ker, man. That’s most likely the simplest document to write down,” he concluded. Peep the total clip beneath.
The times main as much as Sunday’s (Feb. 9) Tremendous Bowl LIX have been essentially the most we’ve heard from Lamar shortly — granted, the 12 months is barely two months in. The DAMN. artist had loads to say on the 67th Annual Grammy Awards, the place he took dwelling 5 trophies for “Not Like Us,” and on Thursday (Feb. 6), he sat down with Apple Music to debate his upcoming efficiency.
