In this episode of Billboard Unfiltered, Billboard staffers Kyle Denis, Trevor Anderson, Carl Lamarre and Damien Scott discuss Kendrick Lamar’s GNX chart takeover, along with their initial reactions to the surprise drop, Drake’s legal battle with UMG over “Not Like Us,” J. Cole’s Inevitable podcast series and his 10-year anniversary show at MSG for Forest Hill Drive.
Carl Lamarre:I think his run this year is probably comparable to what we see maybe from like an ‘08 Wayne, an ‘03 50, a 2018 Drake.
Kyle Denis:I don’t like this arriving during, you know, GNX week, it’s like … it’s a little bit pathetic.
Trevor Anderson:Oh I already know I love this. I just haven’t had access to it and you mean to tell me it’s right here, you know, on the app that I already use. Like, let’s go, let’s download it, let’s play it.
Carl Lamarre: Before the break, Compton superstar Kendrick Lamar did a surprise drop. Now I’m here to talk about it with you guys. GNX, his sixth studio album, 12 tracks, featuring SZA, a slew of up-and-coming L.A. rappers. The project came No. 1 on the 200, 319 album equivalent units, seven records in the top 10 of the Hot 100. He’s occupying the top five, No. 1 with “Squabble Up.” Mr. Lamar is back in full force, gentlemen. How do we feel about this album?
Damien Scott:Fire, in a word.
Carl Lamarre:Fire?
Damien Scott: Fire. Also, just straightforward rap. You know, just like … I know that PG, Dave and Kendrick love to be subversive, they love to just do what everyone is not expecting them to do, and I think this album is a great example of that. Every Kendrick album is like a grand affair. It has this big, huge meaning that has to get worked through.

It seems like just a few years ago Freddie Gibbs was beefing with many of his Hip-Hop peers but as of late the man has been focusing on his music instead of the drama and has been dropping off new work to keep his customers heads nodding and necks breaking.
In his latest visuals to “Cosmo Freestyle,” Gibbs heads to Sin City and politics in Las Vegas and takes in the atmosphere and bright lights from the comfort of his hotel balcony like a boss overlooking his own city. Using old school footage of Vegas was a nice touch.
Boosie Badazz meanwhile uses some old footage of his own and in his clip to “One Of Them Ones,” Boosie uses some stock footage of him and his crew in the club in ’92 to show he’s been balling for more than two decades and he isn’t slowing down one damn bit in 2024.
Check out the rest of today’s drops including work from Tems, Kenny Muney featuring Key Glock, and more.

To many Hip-Hoppers, Metro Boomin seems like Future’s exclusive producer but the man has blessed a few other rappers with some hard hitting head knockin’ production and in his latest offering recruits some of his peers to spit on his latest offering.
Linking up with 21 Savage and Mustafa for the black-and-white visuals to “Walk Em Down (Don’t Kill Civilians),” 21 Savage and company hit The A and walk through the streets as if none of them had a record deal and show just how real life can get when you’re living the life forreal with nothing to lose and just a little to gain.
Back in The Chi, G Herbo shows just how good the life he’s carved out for himself has gotten and in his clip to “My Soul,” G shows us how he gets ready for a show as he polishes off his ice in his fancy apartment before blazing some trees in his truck while on the way to rock his adoring crowd.
