Arkansas Couple Tells The Story Of Kendrick Lamar Using Their Black Forces Listing As Cover Art

by

As with a lot of things Kendrick Lamar-related in 2024, there’s a curious backstory behind his most recent song, commonly referred to as “Watch The Party Die.” It dropped right when the MTV VMAs began, and its crusade against insufficient industry standards and cultural degradation certainly ruffled some feathers. But folks still wondered: where on Earth did he get the cover art of a pair of scuffed Black Air Force 1s, a common symbol of “demon time”? Well, fans quickly unearthed that it was a random eBay listing that had already sold for $70, and what they found out next thanks to local Arkansas news station THV11 is very interesting.

Moreover, the outlet published a video interview with Arkansas citizens Billy Lingo and Darla Wilson on September 24. The North Little Rock couple have been together for 20 years, and launched their eBay account (Good2BYou) in 2021. When Kendrick Lamar dropped the song, they received an onslaught of calls and messages breaking the news, and they canceled the order – despite it already being sold – given how much more valuable the shoes are now.

Kendrick Lamar Caused This Arkansas Couple To Post The Listing Of A Lifetime

“I’m not gonna lie to you, I didn’t know a lot about him, but I really know about him now,” Billy Lingo said of Kendrick Lamar. He and Darla Wilson put the shoes up for auction starting at $5,000 and also included a “Buy It Now” option for $75,000. At press time, there are currently no bids for it. In addition to this, the couple also plans on selling merch depicting the cover art. It just goes to show how magnanimous the context behind this new song can be, and how much value hip-hop fans place on the genre’s history – however minimal or, frankly, expensive.

Meanwhile, Kendrick Lamar fans are very excited about the prospect of another Steve Lacy collab, which the latter recently teased. “I’m moved by what’s weird,” Lacy told Fantastic Man of his creative process for his next album. “It’s almost like I hear them, and I think, I need to call this person. I’d be lying if I said I didn’t want a Kendrick verse.” Let’s see if this opportunity manifests…

Kuttem Reese Recruits Ski Mask The Slump God For “Black Forces”

by

Kuttem Reese has nabbed some high-profile features over the course of his career. For example, his debut project Kutt Dat Boy, released in 2021, saw Lil Durk, Chief Keef, and Fredo Bang make guest appearances. However, Reese has remained fairly quiet over the past two years, releasing only five singles up until a couple of days ago. This new cut with Ski Mask The Slump God brings a massive wave of energy, but also some nice flows and bars.

“Black Forces,” the name of this new song, is all about violence and getting revenge on people that did him wrong in the past. It is also quite humorous that he used “Black Forces” for this record because the running jokes on social media would tell you that people are up to no good when they wear the black Nike Air Force 1’s. Certainly, Reese and Ski Mask are in the streets doing what they should not be, but it makes for a fun listen nonetheless.

Who Is Kuttem Reese?

Some people might not know who Reese is because his career started not too long ago. He was born in Orlando, Florida, and began making music when everyone was stuck inside during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. What really got him on the map was when his song “Madden” was played at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Superbowl pre-game. Now, he looks to be on the fast track to making a career and it looks like he could become another star from Florida.

P***y idiot, look what you done did, you done started war
Gotta hide my heart from my thoughts ’cause now my mind at war
I can make them choppas shoot at once like they all in chorus (Brrt, brrt)
Black Forces, tying them b*****s tight when I’m applying force
