It’s a rare day when Kendrick Lamar uses social media to speak about, well, anything. But on Tuesday (October 6), the Top Dawg Entertainment golden child issued a public service announcement, scolding TDE CEO Anthony “Top Dawg” Tiffith for allowing K. Dot slander to fly all year.
In a video clip uploaded to Tiffith’s Instagram account, Kendrick keeps the camera on a Blue’s Clues stuffed animal and gives Tiffith a piece of his mind — albeit in a very comedic manner.
“Top, you gotta stop them from smutting my name,” he says. “They been smutting my name all year, man, you ain’t said nothing. Enough is enough, man. They must don’t know about that pickle juice that’s under your red cap, man, about that sweat that’s holding that red cap together, the reason why it don’t fall off your head, that lubricant. You need to tell them that the reason why that cap don’t fall off your head, so why would I fall off? I’m watching cartoons, man.”
The post included a photo of Tiffth and Kendrick masked up like everything’s cool. Rumors suggesting Kendrick had left TDE to focus on his label pgLang started flying on Monday (October 5), prompting TDE president Terrence “Punch” Henderson to issue two cryptic tweets that appeared to address the chatter.
“Smh can’t even try to be mysterious and vague in my tweets no more,” he wrote. “A rumor gets halfway around the world before the truth get it’s shoes on. Lol.”
Did Kendrick Lamar Leave Top Dawg Entertainment?
Fans of the celebrated MC have been anxiously awaiting a follow-up to the 2017 Pulitzer Prize-winning album DAMN. Last month, the typically elusive artist was spotted around Los Angeles shooting what appeared to me a music video. The following day, he was captured soaring about the Pacific Ocean with a film crew, fueling the fire something from Kendrick is imminent.
He’s given us mad material to hold us over, and they’ve all been different and debatable classics, let great be great and cook.
Plenty of other artists giving quality material and not making people wait 4 years. This ain’t the 90’s… And if you so nice, it shouldn’t take that long. This ain’t a book. Write them rhymes or get forgotten about or people just lose interest. It’s like food… When you crave something for a long time, eventually you don’t even want it anymore. Homeboy better get to it.
No they wont
Tell that to Jay Electronica! People can yap all they want but his album went double wood. Even with Jay-Z killing him on every song. We wont be hearing anymore albums from him unless he gets dropped from the label and releases something independent. No more money will be waisted on him. That’s why Act 2 just got leaked. His a** took too long and he paid the price I mentioned above. Most you goofy a** fans don’t even buy music and truly support your favorite artists. Ya’ll just comment on articles like this and listen to music on YouTube or a free spotify account. He may have some true die hard fans left but the rest will get tired of waiting and when he finally does drop, they will be underwhelmed and not give his music the play and attention he would’ve gotten from them if he would’ve consistently dropped and not took so damn long. You see it happen to artists all the time. He is no exception.
Not true look at the time between the chronic and the chronic 2001 if u fuck with the artist u will cop that album
That was In a different time people were still buying physical copies of albums …it hold no water sorry
Maybe Kdot doesnt really care,he probably feels hes not a slave to the music industry, he doesnt need the industry maybe they need him. Kendrick doesn’t care about the fame,because if he did he would be posting non stop on social media,like your fame addicting favorite artists!
Spotify is free?
You sound like a band wagon hopper kind of guy
You silly sausage you really think artistic creation is something that can be churned out, that’s why most modern projects are piss poor social media led spaff… Debbies fuming
Was not meant for assassin meant for GTFOH, what an acronym, genius do you drop a new pathetic name from current trendy terms every four years?. Or just sit there being entitled to art you have no idea what it takes to create, Debbie’s fuming….
Agree 100%. My faves are still Section 80 and Good Kid, I liked the beats more, but I cant criticize the three projects after. They already all time classics to so many. Lyrics flow and general artistic integrity is as high as any rapper pretty much in history.
Kendrick’s last few albums went multi-platinum, won Grammys, won a Pulitzer Prize and he has fans all over awaiting his next project. He’ll be fine.
Yeah yeah, we don’t give a fuck. Just drop new music Kendrick. Hopefully he keeps he’s original style and not that weak ass mumble voice thing that is not hip hop en not even music! Ya bichhhh
This ain’t it fam
Who is this guy? Ay! Never heard him rhyme! Ay! Cartoons watching guy! Ay! Don’t deserve my dimes! Ay!
