Digging Into Kendrick Lamar's Samples
Briefly

Kendrick Lamar's sixth studio album, GNX, surprises with an immediate, lean production, reflecting his success and evolution amidst his recent beef with Drake.
In contrast to his past works, GNX seems more reactive and nimble, evoking a sense of history while capturing the present sound of West Coast rap.
Lamar’s recent album capitalizes on hip-hop’s signature art of sampling, incorporating influences from artists like SWV and Luther Vandross into fresh, new contexts.
The release of GNX marks a triumphant conclusion to Lamar's year, with impending Grammy nominations and a highly anticipated Super Bowl halftime performance planned.
