Kendrick Lamar announces that his new album is on the way, drops 2 surprise singles, and a video to support one. Boy what a busy week Kendrick has had. Lamar's sudden reappearance after not making much noise in 2016 after his controversial Grammy performance  is revitalizing, because I began to think that his buzz depleted. Well I was wrong because the internet is going crazy over the new video "Humble," and I can't blame them. The video itself is very artistic and creatively arranged.

1. Free Smoke & Grammy Although these songs have completely different arrangements on each album, they both share similar content and sounds. Free Smoke begins with the choir like sound that have become more popular in hip hop and leads into the natural base upbeat sound. Grammy just instantly goes into the upbeat tempo Drake flow on both songs are almost synonymous, but Free Smoke just isn't as catchy as Grammy. 2. No long talk & Energy  Besides the fact that the songs share the same sound bite. The beat and flow Drake uses screams Energy, if not the entire sound of If you're reading this . I appreciate the fact that Drake always features unknown artist, giving them a chance to "prove" themselves, but in this case I'm not sure Giggs fit the beat of the song. 3.

Queen of rap? When you think of classic rap beefs the first ones that come to mind are; Tupac VS Biggie, Nas VS Jay Z, and 50 Cent VS the world. These beefs influenced the culture, causing the most attention, and simply were the most entertaining beefs within artist.

Since the emergence of publicizing entertainment feud and creating music to antagonize the conflict, annually audience expect for another beef to evolve.  Shether This year's beefs will begin with Remy Ma VS Nicki Minaj.
