Mike Dean, Beyonce, and Kendrick Lamar.
Now, if you would have told me you can have three of these artists and musicians on the same track,
and it was titled America as a problem,
I would 100% bet all my money on it being a hit.
Because when I first listened to it, of course, I was scared.
Because, you know, for the last time, I don't know if it was the last time,
but the last time I felt like it was a hit, like a mega hit, was when,
Kendrick Lamar was on Taylor Swift's Bad Blood Remix.
Because the way that he rolled the beat and the way that he kind of spit into that pocket
that the whole bad blood song surrounded around, it was like two worlds colliding.
And that's how I feel with this Beyonce and Kendrick Lamar collab.
Because at the end of the day, when Kendrick Lamar comes on saying Turbulin Watcher,
PG Lane Caller, Luke at my garage, synced up, get the Gene.
out the bottle. What does he say? He says, he says, my horoscope said, I'm really out my noodle.
I'm troubling. I'm puzzling. It's Sudoku. So at the end of day, this man really wraps in a way
that you just can't fathom because who would have, like honestly, who would have rhymed puzzling
with, no, who would have rhymed noodle with Sudoku? You tell me the last rapper who, who rhymes something
was Sudoku. So anyways, a Sudoku, how everyone pronounce it. Kendrick Lamar and Beyonce is back again.
I don't know if this is the first collab ever, I believe it is. If I had to look at it, I believe it's the first
first verse of the year for Kendrick, I believe. Of course, Beyonce, she put out this album in
20, she put out this album last year, I believe. I think. I really don't. Honestly, this is the first
biancy album that and be in beehive you know chill out i'm not going to say anything crazy but this is the
first time that i listened to a biancy album and after a week or two of playing it i was just completely
done with the track so anyways um well completely done with the album like of course you got your
ones you go back to like the vergo's groove or the um cuff it remix with the the the weather
remix I have never heard of a weather remix and I do not want to know what that is. But anyways,
for the first verse of the year, Lamar hops on America's got a problem and of course he shows
why everybody considers him one of the best rappers to have a great mic. Because honestly,
when it comes to Kendrick Lamar and when it comes to all these other rappers, I'm not going to
say it's not close because of course I'm a Drake Stan. So I'm not trying to get my OVO card taken away.
But I do believe that Kendrick is on the level all by himself. And he's not going to say,
him teaming up with Beyonce on a track called America has a problem.
The remix is like, y'all didn't get it the first time.
So let's add the ultimate black empowerment rapper in who's also considered one of the best
rappers of all time.
Like if you would have had a top three of all time and had Kendrick in it, at this point,
you can't really be upset.
As Kendrick Lamar has given us a bunch of anthems like, we're going to be all right.
and the whole
to Pimp a Butterfly
album
section
Good Kid Mad City
Section 8 like he's given us so many
classics that just derives
from the black experience
and
his actions
not off the court because of course he's not
balling but off of the
out of the studio
aligns with this message of black empowerment
and I really think
that the way that Kendrick Lamar
pushes his message
and the way that he wraps is a very fine line because there's a lot of people who can rap.
I don't want to be disrespectful, but I'm just pointing this out to make a point.
Black Thought is a person who can rap, but of course when he starts rapping, a lot of people,
like turn that off because we're not trying to hear that lyrical, miracle, spiritual,
we're trying to listen to something that we can ride in the car with.
And that is exactly what Beyonce and Kendrick Lamar did for this track.
And of course, a lot of people say that Beyonce is a perfectionist, so you do not
put out a Kendrick Lamar feature and it not be perfect. So this was definitely indeed perfect
coming off the heels of Mr. Well, not the heels of course, but coming off the release of Mr. Morale
and the Big Steppers, this is Kendrick Lamar's first appearance since that album. And boy, did he make a
splash because Kendrick Lamar and Beyonce might as well be the new Splash brothers because
it was one of the greatest tracks of 2023.
So anyways, click my link tree in my bio.
Let me know in one of my social medias.
What do you think about Beyonce and Kendrick Lamar teaming up for a remix of America has a problem?
And do you think it's fire or trash?
