Hours ago, Pusha T released another track off his solo debut, My Name Is My Name. Although the song features lyrical foe, Kendrick Lamar, Pusha tells Rob Markman that the record has been in the works for years.
Before Kendrick commandeers Pusha’s core fans, he finds placement on this cut off My Name Is My Name. Produced by Nottz, there’s enough drug talk on this one to pique the DEA’s interest. Ugggk! Album drops October 8th. flex
6,000 fans packed Williamsburg Park in Brooklyn last night to see the king of both coasts, Kendrick Lamar. Before going into “m.A.A.d City”, he threw a subliminal jab at Meek Mill. Who’s next? Doot! Doot! Doot!
Pirus and Crips all got along today at Made In America. King Kendrick took over the Rocky stage and brought along his fellow Black Hippies Jay Rock, Ab-Soul, and ScHoolboy Q. The more, the merrier.
Drake still plans to do right and kill everything. In his Billboard cover story, he gives his thoughts on Kendrick Lamar’s “Control” verse and says he’s impervious to his attack.
Kendrick’s probably tired of explaining his verse by now. But this evening, he spoke on the name drops on “Control” and says it’s the competitive side of the game. The fuck you know about basketball? Ha!
After sending the game in a frenzy, Kendrick Lamar called Hot 97 this morning to discuss the fuckery surrounding his verse on Big Sean’s “Control”.
Kendrick was in the rotten apple this past Sunday for the VMA’s. And while on the red carpet, he talked to Power 105.1’s Angela Yee about the controversy surrounding his verse and backlash from New York. Below, he talks to Big Boy’s neighborhood about the record.
MTV held their annual VMAs tonight at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center. Above Miley brought her twerk skills with her single, “We Can’t Stop”. Afterwards, Robin Thicke hit the stage for “Blurred Lines” and “Give It 2 Me (Remix)” with 2 Chainz and Kendrick Lamar. Twerk, Miley.
With “Blurred Lines” topping the charts for it’s 11th straight week, Mr. Thicke doubles back and continues the parade of ladies for his latest visual. The Diane Martel directed clip finds Robin, along with 2 Chainz and Kendrick Lamar redefining the term “fantasy football”. Looks like he might score another touchdown with this one. Check out behind the scenes footage below.

This is a great reminder of how powerful and lasting Lauryn Hill’s influence has been in music. The fact that The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill eventually reached diamond status after so many years shows that truly meaningful music can continue finding new listeners long after its original release. I also like how the article highlights the combination of hip hop, R&B, neo soul, and reggae that made the album so distinctive. Achieving more than 10 million sales is an incredible milestone, especially considering how much the music industry has changed since 1998. The album’s success feels less like a temporary trend and more like proof that strong songwriting and authentic artistic expression can remain relevant across generations. It is interesting to see how numbers can tell part of a story, whether we are looking at album sales or using a proportion calculator to understand relationships between different figures.
