History repeats itself, and this time around, Kendrick Lamar finished the mission he started back in 2013. That year, his game-changing verse on Big Sean’s “Control,” made it clear that he was never interested in finding friendships within the music industry. The Compton-raised MC reinforced that idea with every song he released this year. After shaking up the industry by declaring that there is no “Big Three” on Metro Boomin and Future’s “Like That,” Lamar solidified his path to the throne with his newest West Coast-inspired full-length effort, GNX.
