Reiteration in songs and as a poem throughout GNX, further reinforcement comes via samples & storytelling throughout this album and the diss tracks. Here is a reference and some history behind them all from just a surface level digging;

bare with me, i havent finished this and it is a bit messy and out of order atm, but i promise if you do a little background search into all of this and see how it all ties in together it will blow your f***ing mind.

When I Hear Music (prod. by "Pretty" Tony Butler)
Monk Higgins - mac arthur park(wilshire blvd splits the park in half)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MacArthur_Park
also Not Like Us samples Monk Higgins - I Believe to My Soul
John Barry - Black hole overture https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TheBlack_Hole(1979_film)(disney's most expensive film at the time)
Scotty - D4L( samples star trek, ties into black hole, possibly reference to pharrell, and another sample below)
Metro Boomin - No More (samples the 24-carat Black - Synopsis One: In the Ghetto / God Save the World produced by Dale Warren, the main arranger for MoTown records nephew of Miss Ray & Berry Gordy)
SWV - Use Your Heart(written by Pharrell & Chad Hugo, prod by the Neptunes, a group that has since split up and had differences.)
If this world were mine - Cheryl Lynn & Luther Vandross
Give a helping Hand - Little Beaver
Youre my latest, my greatest inspiration - Teddy Pendergrass
Get Em High - Kanye, which in turn samples Biggie - Warning(prod. Easy Mo Bee, who worked on Big Daddy Kane, Miles Davis, and involved with Ready to Die & Me Against the World by Tupac)
Richard Pryor, the Wiz's real identity
What a Wonderful Thing Love Is - Al Green(guitarist Teenie Hodges, Drakes uncle)
Timothy Carpenter & Triunity - I Want To Make It

Watch the party die - Kill Bill sample? The Lonely Shephard?

Made Niggas - 2 Pac (prod Johnny J & 2Pac, wayne used this beat on Dedication 1, most likely that is a flip of Biggies One More Chance/stay with me remix, sampling DeBarge - Stay with Me)

One Mic - Nas which samples Im Gonna Love you just a little more baby - Barry White, which in turn, is sampled in Like That by Metro

a lot of these artists have tie ins or originate from MoTown records, or have some history through the years and through passing to each other, its actually absurd. It is way too calculated to be a coincidence tbh. In addition, the overlying theme is unification, with seemingly deliberate use of samples and producers who worked with both sides or multiple coasts throughout their careers.

Off topic...Had no idea SZA was this big. Her SOS album is about to hit 10 billion streams in under two years...Taylor Swift hasn’t even done that wtf.

SOS is already at 9.8 billion streams and it’s been less than two yrs since its release. Drake has two albums with 10 billion streams but those came out in 2016 and 2018. Astroworld also has 9.8 billion streams but that dropped in 2018.

SZA’s probably second only to TS in popularity at the moment

We need a Kendrick and SZA tour. I really hope they announce one soon

Can someone confirm if AK himself is behind these posts? Is AK really approving this bs? Feels like he wants ppl to hate him. How does this help his brand?

Ak called him a fgt, so he said I’ll show you who the fgt is and ak was shook

To be honest, with what I saw from saucy Santana reply, he was right tbh, his point was yes he’s gay but he’s not a hoe, like Ak is. He’s more of a b**** than any gay dude. He said he would prove it with hands and he would take that ass too which, is hard to condone violence, but you shouldn’t be calling dudes fgts either

Can someone find that comment from a KTT member posted a few days ago about how AK seemed completely drained and out of energy during the live stream but instantly came to life when Doordash delivered a Henny bottle? I think it was something along those lines. Anyone got it saved?
