Charlamagne tha God tells Kendrick Lamar that he’ll drive himself crazy after critiquing new song

As a gamer who has spent countless hours immersed in the vast and vibrant world of hip-hop culture, I find myself deeply moved by Kendrick Lamar’s latest piece, “Watch the Party Die.” The song is a poignant reflection of the complexities and contradictions that define our genre today.


As a dedicated fan, I can certainly vouch for Kendrick Lamar being a voice of the people, unafraid to challenge hip-hop culture when it’s needed. His latest track, “Watch the Party Die,” is a testament to this fearlessness as he calls out various figures in the music industry, from rappers to radio personalities, and even social media influencers for their questionable actions.

On a recent broadcast of The Breakfast Club, Charlamagne tha God discussed Kendrick Lamar’s song, expressing his appreciation for it but also criticizing him for portraying unattainable changes in hip-hop that he dislikes as impractical.

Charlamagne commented that the song was incredibly impressive. As you mentioned earlier, Lauren, I don’t think the track solely pertains to Drake. Instead, he seems to be addressing broader topics like culture, people worldwide, society, the industry, and media. Let me tell you something, Kendrick, you will drive yourself mad if you try to solve this issue. The best course of action is to continue being the change you aspire for in the world because this problem isn’t going away any time soon – it’s just not.

He further stated, “They’re beyond redemption.” It’s as if not even God returning could convince them. Even then, you understand, if Wu-Tang Clan’s ‘Triumph’ started playing and a toe fell from the sky, even Jesus himself descending wouldn’t be enough. They would still require proof. “He can’t walk on water,” they’d say, “that’s artificial intelligence.

Kendrick, you gon’ drive yourself crazy.

On “Watch the Party Die,” Kendrick Lamar expresses his view that certain aspects of hip-hop have deteriorated significantly, and he suggests that the culture requires a reset or revival.

He expresses that the situation has become so corrupt and violent that it’s past the point of salvation; it’s now necessary to disband or eliminate it. He even suggests taking extreme measures against those who take innocent lives, including burning down entire villages and starting over, implying that this level of chaos and violence necessitates such drastic action.

In due course, Kendrick speaks to those who dislike his off-center tunes and assert that he employs a unique method compared to mainstream rappers. He states, “They criticize because I’m not into the ordinary stuff / Yet they don’t detest me, they despise the image I embody,” he raps in rhythm.
