Andrew Schulz somehow became a key narrative of Kendrick Lamar’s GNX, or at least, that’s what his reaction to a presumed diss on “wacced out murals” became. Moreover, for those unaware, the comedian joked on his Flagrant podcast about “making love” to Kendrick and that there was nothing the Compton rapper could do to stop it. The show’s most recent guest was 50 Cent, who chose to ask Schulz about these comments. The New York stand-up comic joked that his response was taken too aggressively, whereas 50 faked an apology to the camera for “misinterpreting” what Schulz had said before.
“I’m a fan of your work. But I don’t understand what got into you that made you say you was going to f**k Kendrick,” 50 Cent told Andrew Schulz about the Kendrick Lamar situation. “[…] Look, I follow comedic culture. I watch the comedians. I enjoy them on another level. What I appreciate about it is they are invincible. When I watch them, I look and I go, ‘There’s no point that you could do something that actually damages what they developed, what they built.’ Like, Katt Williams can fight a 15-year-old kid that’s his height. And not do so well, right? […] But it does no damage to Katt Williams, he’s still that guy.
“I was watching Jamie Foxx’s new piece, right?” 50 Cent continued his comments about Andrew Schulz and Kendrick Lamar. “And he mentioned Katt in it. To me, it meant that he had to be relevant enough for Jamie to include him. And I don’t know, like, I want to laugh. If Andrew’s going to do something, my mind is prepared, I’m conditioned to laugh. I’m waiting for the punchline. It’s going to come. And I’m usually never let down. Jamie’s show, that s**t put me on a rollercoaster. He went to a place that I was, like, ‘Oh… Man.’ Like, my eyes was emotional.”
With all this in mind, we doubt we will hear the end of the Andrew Schulz and Kendrick Lamar saga anytime soon. Whether it’s 50 Cent giving another take or the rest of the hip-hop world debating it and reacting to it, it makes for a whole lot of stand-up material.
Kendrick Lamar’s GNX has been at the center of attention since its release on November 22nd, and it hasn’t been all positive, partially due to the strays that a few individuals caught, including comedian Andrew Schulz. In the post “Not Like Us” summer, Kendrick Lamar emerged victorious against his feud with Drake and left fans on the edge of their seats for his next body of work. Some felt it would likely arrive before the Super Bowl, but no one expected it to drop so soon.
“wacced out murals,” the album’s intro, sets the tone while Kendrick gets a few things off his chest. He takes a shot or two at Drake, namedrops Lil Wayne and Snoop Dogg, and airs out his grievances surrounding white comedians who make disparaging remarks towards Black women. “Don’t let no white comedian talk about no Black woman, that’s law,” Kendrick raps on the song. The one line in particular caused a storm online and eventually, earned a response from Schulz, who assumed that bar was targeting him. Below, we’ll be breaking down the controversy at large and the escalating feud between Kendrick Lamar and Andrew Schulz.
U.K.-based podcast hosts James Duncan and Fuhad Dawodu of Shxtsngigs appeared on Andrew Schulz’s Flagrant podcast in the fall when they engaged in a discussion surrounding the “Black girlfriend effect.” Duncan and Dawodu argued that Black women “glow up the other culture” in mixed relationships. “All of a sudden, they have a line-up, clean shape up. He glows up, bro,” Duncan said. However, Schulz said that it was actually a “protective instinct.”
“They shave their hair because they start losing it, because he’s so stressed to be around this Black girl complaining about sh*t all the f*cking time. That’s why they shave their head,” Schulz said. “They grow a beard because there’s more cushion when they get slapped the f*ck out of.” The comments earned some widespread backlash from both Schulz and the Shxtsngigs podcast hosts who eventually offered an apology. However, Schulz doubled down on the “edgy” humor without offering an apology to those offended by the misogynoir commentary.
“wacced out murals”
In the third verse of the GNX intro, Kendrick Lamar seemingly references the situation, though without mentioning names, it’s really an “if the shoe fits” type of situation, especially since Gary Owen responded to the song. In “wacced out murals,” Kendrick raps, “Don’t let no white comedian talk about no Black woman, that’s law/ I know propaganda work for them, and fuck whoever that’s close to them/ The n***as that’s coon, the n***as that being goons, slide on both of them.”
Many assumed Kendrick Lamar targeted Andrew Schulz since the ShxtsNGigs controversy happened a few months prior. And while Kendrick Lamar’s bar could definitely apply to Andrew Schulz, the subsequent bars indicate that the issue is figures like Duncan and Dawodu who let the joke slide unchecked.
The Initial Response
Andrew Schulz reacts to Kendrick Lamar seemingly dissing him on his new album ‘GNX’
Shortly after the album dropped, social media dissected every angle of the album. However, Akademiks eventually highlighted this particular bar in a live-stream, revealing that he contacted Schulz who felt as though Kendrick was speaking about him. “Is this guy too woke to understand a joke?” Schulz allegedly told Akademiks who relayed the message to his audience.
During the latest episode, Schulz offered an official response where he deemed Kendrick Lamar hypocritical and a clout-chaser for dissing comedians. “Nobody has respected women more through art than rappers,” he said sarcastically. “So I completely understand how a rapper could look at a comedian telling a joke and be like, ‘Yo, y’all need to switch that sh*t up. How dare y’all keep saying your wives are annoying. Be more like us and… b*tches ain’t nothing but hoes and tricks. I beat my b*tch with a stick, what?’”
Schulz continued to group all rappers together, claiming that hip-hop’s long history of misogyny makes Kendrick look like a hypocrite. Moreover, he brought up Kendrick Lamar’s upcoming comedy movie with Matt Stone and Trey Parker, the creators of South Park, who themselves have a history of creating edgy and offensive material.
Afterward, Andrew Schulz’s co-host, Akaash Singh, brought up the number of accused abusers that Kendrick has collaborated with over the years, including Kodak Black and Dr. Dre. He also cited the Spotify controversy a few years ago when Kendrick Lamar threatened to remove his music from the streaming platform in response to the Hate Content & Hateful Conduct Policy that removed XXXTENTACION and R. Kelly’s music from editorial and algorithmic playlists.
Schulz’s Sexual Assault Joke Fails To Land
Comedian Andrew Schulz jokes that he would make love to Kendrick Lamar against his will
“I don’t think he can stop most people on the planet from having sex with him…”
In the same episode, Schulz told his co-hosts that he would “make love to him and the only thing he could do is decide if it’s consensual or not.” “I would make love to him and there’s nothing he could do about it. Just Kendrick Lamar. I would make love to him and the only thing he could do is decide if it’s consensual or not,” Schulz began.
“That’s the only thing he could do. If it’s me and Kendrick, it’s about physics,” he continued. “I don’t even know if I’ll get hard. But, if we’re in a cell, and we’re bored and we’re done tattooing each other–whatever you do in a cell, and we ran out of board games and we did all the other things, and we cleaned everything, and I’m like, ‘Man, I might as well f*ck you.’ There’s nothing he can physically do to stop that. I’d put his legs in the air and choose a position.”
Schulz Faces Backlash
Andrew Schulz “joking” about raping Kendrick Lamar was a white mans way of putting a Black man in his place for defending Black women. It was sadistic and a remnant of slavery. Evil sack of shit
While Kendrick Lamar hasn’t responded to Andrew Schulz yet, the comedian has felt the wrath of the hip-hop community at large, though the internet at large has been divided. Schulz has faced plenty of condemnation from people like TDE Punch, Meek Mill (who he later responded to), Peter Rosenberg, and many others. However, DJ Akademiks pointed out the contradiction in the public’s response, citing the viral moment when Saucy Santana threatened to rape him following a volley of insults between the two. Some agreed with Ak, and others felt it wasn’t similar at all.
At this point, it seems like Schulz might be dragging this more than it needs to be, especially since Kendrick intended to make a point of defending Black women, resulting in threats of sexual violence against him. Despite his issues with that initial line, Schulz agrees that GNX is still a good album. We’ll keep you posted on anymore developments surrounding Kendrick Lamar and Andrew Schulz’s feud.
Lil Dicky is an artist who has certainly taken a break from releasing music. Although he is mostly known for his comedic tracks that embody a specific concept, he has since pivoted to television. His show Dave was a hit, even if it might never come back. Regardless, Dicky is someone that fans have gravitated towards. Overall, he is a funny guy, and he has gotten co-signs from some pretty massive artists. Having said that, he recently chopped it up with Andrew Schulz, where they spoke on a plethora of topics.
During one portion of the conversation, they discussed none other than Kanye West. As it turns out, Dicky knows Ye very well, and it is all because they played rec-league basketball together. The artist and actor said he used to guard Ye while playing three-on-three full-court basketball. Moreover, Ye used to invite him over to his house and they would listen to music together. Needless to say, they had a bromance going on. Unfortunately, Ye changed his number, as he does every so often. From there, Dicky lost contact with him.
Subsequently, they spoke about how Ye has had an anti-semitic streak as of late. Dicky defended Ye a bit, saying that Kanye knew he was Jewish and always treated him with kindness and respect. Schulz offered some pushback there, especially given everything that Ye has been saying this past year. However, Dicky is confident that Ye will do what is right and that while he oftentimes says the wrong thing, he has no hate in his heart. Only time will tell whether or not Kanye is able to prove Lil Dicky correct on that one.
Let us know what you think of Lil Dicky’s story, in the comments section below. Also, are you hoping for another season of Dave? Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world. We will continue to keep you informed on all of your favorite artists and their upcoming releases.
Stephen A. Smith is someone who gets paid a whole lot of money to speak out about the wide world of sports. Typically, Smith has been known to give some pretty out-there hot takes. However, this is ultimately what makes him entertaining. Smith is well aware of how sports entertainment works, and he always does his best to be interesting. This has ultimately allowed him to enjoy a ton of success at ESPN. At this point, one could even say that Smith runs that network.
Over the past few weeks, Smith has been talking a lot about Tom Brady. This is because the legendary quarterback has decided to retire from the sport of football. Subsequently, many are debating his standing as the greatest player in the history of the NFL. Additionally, some are trying to debate whether or not he was a top-tier athlete. Of course, athleticism and talent are two very different things, and sometimes, they are conflated. During an appearance on Andrew Schultz Flagrant podcast, Smith had to navigate this conflation.
Stephen A. Speaks
In the clip up above, Smith was asked whether or not he thinks Brady is the greatest athlete of all-time. Immediately, Smith said no. Overall, he believes that you can’t really consider Brady to be a top-tier athlete. At the end of the day, he was never truly athletic. Instead, he was just someone who knew how to throw the football well, while also possessing a fantastic mind for the game. Consequently, Stephen A. was asked who he believes are the most athletic athletes of all-time. Smith went on to say that it would have to be Bo Jackson and Deion Sanders as they played both football and baseball at the highest level.
Jackson and Sanders are two people who have always found themselves on top of these lists. They both showcased incredible abilities in their respective sports, so it should come as no surprise that Stephen A. would pick them. As for Brady, he’s probably not too upset with Smith. Even Tom Brady would be the first to admit that he isn’t the most athletic guy in the world. Let us know what you think of Smith’s take, in the comments below.
