Kendrick Lamar’s “XXX”: A Sonic Manifesto Of Modern Turmoil

November 7, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Kendrick Lamar’s song “XXX” (pronounced X-Rated) from his critically acclaimed album DAMN. is a sonic journey that delves deeper into the themes found across his fourth studio album, specifically those surrounding politics and religion. With a feature from the legendary Irish rock band U2, this track is a standout moment in the album, one that doesn’t necessarily receive the credit it deserves. Although the collaboration may have looked odd on paper, Kendrick Lamar and U2 delivered a poignant message that arrived towards the latter half of DAMN.

Produced by Mike WiLL Made-It and DJ Dahi, “XXX” boasts a unique and unconventional sound that mirrors the chaotic and uncertain times of 2017. The song opens with Bēkon’s hauntingly somber vocals (Bēkon later re-purposed this intro on “America) that reflect on the realities of the American Dream. However, it’s the minimalistic production that leads Kendrick Lamar’s first verse that allows each word to pierce through. He parallels biblical stories to the experiences he faced growing up in Compton as a child, specifically as it pertains to surviving the often volatile environment U2’s Bono lends his distinctive voice to the bridge, adding an unexpected but powerful layer to the track, crooning, “It’s not a place, this country is to me a sound / Of drum and bass, you close your eyes to look around.”

Kendrick Lamar & U2’s Powerful Thesis To DAMN.

The significance of “XXX” lies in its lyrical content, which delves into themes of social injustice, racial tension, and political disillusionment. Kendrick Lamar, known for his thought-provoking and socially conscious lyrics, paints a vivid picture of the divisive state of the United States and the effects it has on its citizens. The song explores the idea of “wickedness or weakness,” suggesting that individuals are constantly tested by their environment and must decide whether to fight against corruption and inequality or succumb to it.

One of the most striking elements of “XXX” is its abrupt shift in the middle, where Kendrick’s flow changes, and he discusses his own struggle with violence and revenge, reflecting the inner turmoil faced by many people living in dangerous environments. This change of pace adds depth to the song, showcasing Kendrick’s storytelling prowess.

Conclusion

In conclusion, Kendrick Lamar’s “XXX” from DAMN. is a groundbreaking track that poignantly highlights the profound exploration of societal issues. Its unconventional sound, poignant lyrics, and collaboration with U2 create a powerful and thought-provoking experience.

Kim Kardashian’s SKIMS Partners With Swarovski For Exclusive, Shiny Collection

November 2, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Kim Kardashian’s SKIMS brand continues to grow, expand, and establish itself as a leading voice in fashion. Moreover, the company’s latest collab is with none other than Swarovski, melding together their shape-wear with the jewels that their partner is so well-known for. If you’re interested in copping a piece or two, it goes live on November 7 at 9AM EST on the SKIMS website and in select Swarovski stores. In an Instagram post, the reality TV star and socialite shared some words on this latest venture. “a first of its kind collaboration that fuses @Swarovski’s iconic glamour with @SKIMS innovative silhouettes, resulting in a unique crystallized collection,” she wrote.

Furthermore, this comes just days after SKIMS’ announced partnership with the NBA, which is not the end of Kim Kardashian’s fashion empire. In fact, she recently expressed a desire to also assume ownership of her ex-husband Kanye West’s Yeezy brand one day. But that’s irrelevant right now; what matters is that the 43-year-old is very proud of this particular Swarovski collab. “I feel like it really embodies who I am, in being really simplistic, but then I have this full glitzy feminine side,” she told The New York Times about the team-up.

Of course, that aforementioned gossip about Kim Kardashian’s family and relationship life tends to unfairly overshadow these business moves, at least when it comes to news headlines. While that’s an understandable phenomenon, it’s also a great way to market brand moves these days. For example, this Swarovski collaboration comes amid comments about Ye’s humble lifestyle that premiered on The Kardashian‘s recently. Well, humble in the comparative sense, because we all know there’s no way that word could ever describe the Chicago rapper accurately.

Regardless of all that, it’s very clear that SKIMS is by no means suffering as a result. After all, it’s all tied to Kim’s name at the end of the day, and that alone is bound to nab some attention. It helps that the clothing brand is emerging with its own shadow outside of that, something that the money proves is much larger than any one person.

PinkPantheress Details How She Almost Landed On A Kendrick Lamar Track: “Oh F***, I Can’t Even Think About It”

November 2, 2023 by newhiphopnews

PinkPantheress is one of the more intriguing and new female artists to pop off in the hip-hop and R&B scene. While she is not directly within those two genres, the Bath, England singer is bringing some funky and quirky vibes that are shaking things up. So far, it is continuing to bring her loads of success in a very short time frame. In fact, it was around the middle of 2021 that PinkPantheress started to release some tracks to streaming. Additionally, she put out her first-ever project that year with to hell with it. That contains some of her most popular songs “Pain” and “Break It Off – Bonus.”

Of course, we cannot forget about what she and Ice Spice did together on “Boy’s a liar Pt. 2.” The irresistibly cute instrumental along with the sad and honest lyrics about boys being toxic won so many people over. It has already racked up over 700 million streams since its release at the beginning of February. While grabbing Ice Spice for that song was a big deal, she could have caught an even bigger fish.

PinkPantheress Cannot Think About It Anymore

In a recent interview with i-D, she brutally recalled a time when she could have landed a placement on a Kendrick song. NFR Podcast tweeted an excerpt from the story and it is honestly gut-wrenching. “Oh f***, I can’t even think about it. I was watching Nightcrawler with this guy.” You might be wondering why she did not pick up and put a pause on the date for King Kendrick. Well, PinkPanthress’s date asked her to put her phone on silent. We do not know if she was expecting the call or not. However, that guy hopefully feels real awful about it.

What are your initial thoughts on PinkPantheress revealing that she almost featured on a Kendrick Lamar song? Would this have been a great collaboration? Do you think she will ever get a call back from him? We would like to hear what you have to say about all of this. With that in mind, be sure to leave all of your thoughts and opinions in the comments section below.

Lil Yachty Divulges On Potential Drake Collab Album

October 25, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Lil Yachty and Drake have been working with one another quite a bit as of late. Overall, these two are a dynamic duo that have a great friendship, as well. Recently, the two shared a track on For All The Dogs, called “Another Late Night.” Furthermore, it has been reported that Yachty had a lot to do with the project, Her Loss. Needless to say, these two have a deep musical connection. This has subsequently led to fans speculating that they could one day drop a collab album together.

Recently, Lil Yachty was in an OGM Vlog that was posted to YouTube. During the video, he actually spoke about the possibility of doing an album with Drizzy. However, fans should not be expecting such a project to happen anytime soon. After all, Drake has made it clear that he wants to take some time for himself. That said, Yachty does seem at least a little bit optimistic that it could happen somewhere down the line.

Lil Yachty x Drake?

“We’ve talked about it before… It would be nice, right?” Yachty asked. “I think he [Drake] gon take a little second to breathe [first]. Ima take next year to figure out my situation… And you know, we’ll look into it in the future.” By the time Drake is out of his musical hiatus, no one really knows what he will be looking for musically. By that point, he might be looking to hop on a new wave entirely. This is especially true when you consider how he will either be 40 years old or at least very close to it.

If a Lil Yachty and Drake project were to drop, what would your expectations be for it? Is it even something that you would want? Let us know in the comments section below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world. We will always keep you informed on all of your favorite artists.

Only Petras’ vocals can be heard in the newly-unveiled snippet, however, some fans suspect that Yung Miami might sing on the track as well. Either way, the dreamy track is sure to be a fan favorite. This isn’t the first time Kim Petras has crossed over into the world of hip hop, however. Back in April, she also joined forces with Nicki Minaj to drop “Alone.” The song samples Alice Deejay’s Euro-pop staple “Better Off Alone,” which Petras said made the collab nostalgic for her.

“I was born and raised in Germany, and that song is a classic in clubs all over Europe, so I grew up to it,” she told Apple Music. “I had a lot of amazing moments, some bad moments… So many club moments in general to that song. So, that song is just in me, and I feel like it inspired me to make music. I’m just so honored that Alice Deejay let us do this sh*t because it’s epic.” Are you looking forward to City Girls’ upcoming collaboration with Kim Petras? How do you think it’s sounding so far?

Gordo Discusses Drake’s Process: “He’s A Mad Man”

October 8, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Producer Gordo says that Drake’s a “mad man” and “doesn’t sleep.” He spoke about his friendship with the Toronto rapper and his recording process with Complex following the release of For All The Dogs.

When asked about Drake’s process for his latest albums, Gordo responded: “He’s a mad man. He’s insane. He doesn’t sleep. He just works, works, works, works. He’ll call me at 9 a.m., 10 a.m. in the morning. I’m like, bro, ‘go to bed. You’re insane.’ So that’s what I learned.”

Gordo also discussed how he met Drake. After joking about it coming through the dating app Christian Mingle, he admitted it actually happened at a Lil Wayne concert. “I met this guy so long ago through one of my homies,” he said. “It was like a Lil Wayne show. There’s a photo out there somewhere of when we first met him. We’ve always had a lot of mutual friends. So we always stayed connected here and there. And then in 2017 [or] 2016, we started getting closer and closer. Then there was a long time that we didn’t talk. But as of recently, we became really close musically. We never talked about music until last year and we’ve been friends for years. I think that’s the coolest part of it, is it was never about music. We were just homies, we have the same brain. We always say that if we were in high school, we would have been best friends.”

Gordo, who was formerly known as Carnage, has credits on numerous Drake songs in recent years. For Honestly, Nevermind, he produced “Sticky,” while he’s credited on “Rich Baby Daddy” and “Gently” off For All The Dogs. Be on the lookout for further updates on Drake and Gordo on HotNewHipHop.
