Throughout the entire track, Kendrick Lamar, as far as track to off of this album, titled Squabble Up, was indeed telling everybody. Teach you may how to squabble. Every single time Kendrick got off some bars on this track, the thing that it embodied the most to me is. Now, if you don't know, of course, that's from the iconic show, Snowfall. But this was the particular snippet. use for the Not Like Us music video. So whenever the track is actually titled Squabble instead of reincarnated, which a lot of people thought it was actually going to be called because if you look at

the track listing, reincarnated, people would have assumed that was the snippet at the beginning of Not Like Us. But interestingly enough, he ended up titling that snippet squabble up instead of reincarnated. So whenever you get into the chorus, whenever you get into the verse, you realize that this man is definitely talking about squabbling as an aftermath of him completely just tearing up the Canadian and looking at the whole country to he was basically getting into his verse saying I got hits I got bucks I got new paper cuts I got friends I got foes but they all sit in ducks hit his turf and get cracking double back like a deluxe if that ain't how you teach him how to squabble now know what is anyways 50 deep but it ain't deep enough forget a pleat there he go beat him up now ladies and gentlemen we don't endorse violence over here but you know as far as hip-hop culture and the overall contact nature of the sport this is inevitable and it's seeming that kendrick is indeed a head hunter no ditty so with that

means is he's ready for all the smoke. So when you're ready for all the smoke, like Matt Barnes and I forget the other dude, I think it's something Jackson. I forget his name. Anyways, just like the All the Smoke podcast, this track squabbled up is beyond ignorant as far as the violence is promoting.

But if you didn't know, this track also samples Debbie Debs when I hear music, which is providing, more of an electro-funk type of vibe, which is spooky and very eerie whenever you get into Kendrick's very aggressive flow. He is talking about squabbling and the most lyricist way possible. I mean, he literally was rapping out sound effects that come with squabbling. He says, thunk, thunk, thunk-thunk, baby rocket, quid pro quo. What you want comes I'm watching it.

work on the flow let me know if you clock in it brodie won't go but i know that he poppin it it was roof tickets on sale till i silenced it pipe down which is a you know call back to when drake told him uh pip squeak pipe down you ain't in no big three says they got you right down savage okay my fault my fault that that track is still fire but y'all y'all get it right it's a response to pipe down so he says pipe down Young, these, Okay, so pipe down. These some whole other politics.

That is a PG podcast, so we don't say the curse words over here, but let's just say he's using the B word in a very provocative manner. He says, be with him, which is the B word, some B in him. That's a lot of B. That man hate Drake. I'm telling you with a passion.

So I respect you. You know, sometimes in life, when people rub you the wrong way, It's only so many times you could tell them to stop until you just ultimately got to pop out and show. You know what I'm saying? The PG podcast. Anyways. So with this track, title Squabble and the entire track just embodying what it means to be ignorantly aggressive and violent.

This is an ultimate fire track. And it's a great follow up to the intro of the album for the simple fact that this is going to be the. anthem for a lot of squabbles. You know, I hate to say it, but it's like when Little Dirk puts out a track. This is going to be the anthem to all the Y-ends riding around trying to catch somebody, right? They're going to be playing this track in the background, and also, they're going to be screaming. So that being said, with track two covered, let's get into track three of GNX, which is titled Luther featuring Siza.
