Drum roll please.....
Kendrick Lamar - Reincarnated
Kendrick dropped a new album a couple of months ago. Maybe you heard about? Maybe you didn't? Maybe you like him, maybe you don't? Well, as you know by now, I do like him, so I was intrigued to see what this album would be like. It came as a surprise that it was even coming out, and last week, I brought you the first three tracks from GNX.
In that post I promised that this week would be also featuring songs from this album, and I said that I would kick off with my favourite song from the album, so here we go.
Serious doff of his Hat here to 2Pac, DMX and others here for me. DMX with the Greek tragedy style commentary back and forth, and 2pac with the flow, beats and lyrics.
You'll enjoy this one folks.
Kendrick Lamar - Hey Now
Let's go one song back for the second tune. Featuring Dody6
Another banger.
Giddy Up.
Kendrick Lamar - GNX
The final tune I will share from GNX is this one.
Why GNX anybody?
GNX stands for Grand National Experimental named after the car the Buick GNX shown in the videos and album artworks. The car was produced in 1987. This album has a mixture of old school west coast vibes from the same era as the GNX motor.
Enjoy.
Three Tune Tuesday
That's right, it's Tuesday folks and for our merry little band of ladies and lads, that means sharing tunes, good vibes and engagement. As another week disappears in the rearview mirror, we have loads of engagement and tunes flying around on Three Tune Tuesday and sure isn't that bloody fantastic! I hope you're ready to share three tunes from wherever you find yourself on this magical spinning lump of rock that we all call home and sure you might even sing us a tune if we're lucky?
It's a time of the week when lovers of music, tunes and craic bring their blockchain community three of their finest and brightest tunes to share and celebrate, so let's roll on and let the tunes flow free.
This is my 190th week waxing lyrical for Three Tune Tuesday and we are still going strong.
It started off with me just sharing tunes into what seemed like a void, but little by little others joined and now I'm thrilled that we have a little corner of Hive where we come and share our tunes every Tuesday, and long may it continue. I almost stopped posting the songs and thoughts a few times, but I stuck with it and now interestingly it is my favorite thing about Hive. I love music and now I have a network of folks around the world who love music too and we share our tunes and catch up with each others tunes and discuss them each week. We get Pop, Metal, Rock, Gospel, Folk, Jazz, Rap, Hip-Hop, Trip-Hop, Reggae, Bippy bappidy Flange Hop. Ok I made that one up, but you get the idea, we are all learning about new artists, bands, back stories and sure isn't it just mighty!
Something that excites me the most is that we even get musicians sharing their covers of famous songs and even their own songs from time to time here on #ThreeTuneTuesday, which is a real favorite of mine, as that takes talent, time and dedication.
We are adding New posters and retaining our core of regulars here on #TTT which is fantastic. Let's keep it growing. Over the years, I have listened to fantastic music shared from like-minded folk from around the globe and interacted with their posts. This has led me to genres I don't know well and to some amazing new bands and artists and has even introduced me to some musical instruments I did not know existed. It also allows me to upvote smaller accounts and find some really interesting people from all over the world, which is heartening.
I hope you enjoy the tunes - be sure to tell me all about it in the comments below and above all else, please enjoy the rest of your Tuesday - smile at a stranger, rub a dog, be a nice human to someone who was not expecting it - peace out.

Reincarnated as my favorite from the album too😭🔥
It was just too wholesome..
Especially the ending.
Ya it's quality, great doff of the cap to 2Pac.
I like GNX the best I think
Ya it's a tune man..
Personally, I am not the biggest listener of rap, but even I havr to admit that Kendrick Lamar is really something. His first track I really listened to was the one where he dissed Drake, meet the grahams, I think. I've heard a few other songs of his since then.
J Cole, NF, and Lecrae still remain my go to for rap music though.
For me noone can hold a candle to him in modern rap. He's better than all of them
Kendrick did caught us by a surprise with this one. The tv off was my favorite from the list due to how it passes a message to the couch potatoes of nowadays. I’ll see if I can give my own top three tracks for the week in a few hours.
Good shout man, great tune as well. I like the Gill Scott-Heron reference..
Quality album and I wasn't expecting an album for another few years... result!
No one was tbh expecting one tbh at least not this year. But that’s why we call him Kdot he just do what he wants not what you think he should.
I bet you are geeked for the Super Bowl... Are you going to stay up and watch it so you can see Kendrick perform?
Ya I'd say I'll stay up for it alright. I've some college friends who are mad into the Superbowl and come to Galway for it every year, so will probably go drinking with them for it and try pull an all nighter to watch it.
Good luck with that! I usually stay up until the halftime show, then I got to bed after that. If the Lions are in it this year though...
I'm not a Kendrick Lamar fan to be honest but my son like him so I've had to listen to him on several occasions, hehe.
Of these tunes I go for Reincarnated. I even like it.
Nice one @coquicoin your son has good taste 😉
Not into rap music, but have a great day! Enjoy what you do and do it regularly.....
Sure look it, we can't all have great taste like me 🤪
Thanks as always for stopping by and for the kind words
Dizzy head needs calming or jovial song, rap is rat-a-tat noise I never enjoyed, hey ho we not all the same, that's good with your great mix in sound....
All three are good and with very interesting entries. I liked Reincarnated the most, I don't know if it's because of the Spanish entry. hahaha. Greetings, my friend
