Kendrick Lamar Sparks Debate with Lil Wayne Line
Angelina dives into the latest buzz surrounding Kendrick Lamar’s surprise album, “GNX”, which has left the hip-hop world ablaze. The Compton rapper’s introspective and sharp lyricism is once again making headlines, particularly for a line on the opening track, “wacced out murals.”
The line in question, “I used to bump Tha Carter III I held my Rollie chain proud/Iront, I think hard work let Lil Wayne down,” has fans debating whether Lamar was throwing shade at Lil Wayne or expressing vulnerability. Social media has been ablaze with opinions, and even Wayne himself chimed in on the matter.
The New Orleans legend responded on X, writing, “Man wtf I do?! I just be chillin & dey still kome 4 my head. Let this giant sleep. I beg u all. No one really wants destruction, not even me but I shall destroy if disturbed. On me. Love.”
This interaction gained even more attention due to Lamar’s upcoming performance at the Super Bowl halftime show—set to take place in New Orleans, Wayne’s hometown. The decision to have Lamar headline has been divisive, with fans split over whether it should’ve been Wayne, given his legendary status in hip-hop and his deep ties to the city.
Social media continues to buzz with speculation. Some fans view Lamar’s line as a diss, while others argue it’s simply a raw statement about his own experiences and perceptions. The line has even sparked talk of a potential rap battle between the two giants, with fans divided over who would come out on top.
One user tweeted, “Please let Kendrick learn quickly that Lil Wayne is not Drake,” while another joked, “Lil Wayne better chill before Kendrick drop ‘Meet the Carters’ or some sht.”*
Angelina highlights how the line from “GNX” showcases Lamar’s ability to stir both introspection and controversy with his lyrics. Whether a diss or not, the conversation underscores the weight both artists carry in hip-hop culture. With the Super Bowl just around the corner, all eyes remain on Kendrick Lamar—and Lil Wayne.
