Kendrick Lamar knows how to break the internet like no other. Traditionally, his album releases were fairly straightforward, but 2024 has shown a different side of the rapper. Lamar has adopted a stealthy approach, dropping powerful tracks out of nowhere before retreating. This strategy has been effective, even helping him win the battle against Drake. Although that feud seems to be over, Lamar has stuck with his mysterious method, releasing a new song on Instagram Wednesday night, causing the internet to go wild.
This latest track might be Lamar's most cryptic release to date. Unlike his previous Drake diss tracks, this one remains untitled and is available only on Instagram. Fans have been scrambling to analyze every line, trying to figure out the meaning behind the lyrics and who they're directed at. Much like Taylor Swift in pop, every word Lamar raps is meticulously dissected for its multiple layers of meaning. Despite the mystery, fans agree that the song is exceptional.
The eerie tone of the song led Twitter users to compare Lamar to Omar from *The Wire*. One fan even shared a clip of the iconic character walking with a fan, captioning it, "This is how it feels when Kendrick Lamar drops anything right now." Other users marveled at Lamar’s calculated approach, with one tweeting, "Kendrick Lamar is perhaps the most strategic, art-of-war type of artist we’ve ever seen in rap."
