Listen "Kendrick Lamar, GQ (2013)"

Episode Synopsis

One of the most controversial GQ profiles of all time featured Kendrick Lamar.*** In 2013, at the peak of his come up post-'Good Kid M.A.A.D City,' Kendrick was going from funerals in Compton to fashion week in NYC, and in the early stages of a beef with one of the other biggest names in hip hop: Drake. If you want to hear how it began for those two, it's all here.***Kendrick's record label TDE hated this story, and canceled the rapper's GQ 'Man of the Year' performance after it dropped. Was their outrage justified? You decide.
