Kendrick Lamar’s GNX album has dropped with a bang, bringing fresh LA sounds, intense energy, and a deep dive into Kendrick’s personal journey through fame and the music industry.

Among the album’s bold themes, one standout moment is Kendrick’s nod to Lil Wayne, particularly in the track “Wacced Out Murals.”

In one lyric, Kendrick reflects on his early influences, saying,

“I used to bump Tha Carter 3, I held my Rollie chain proud / Irony, I think my hard work let Lil Wayne down.”

This line is a reference to Wayne’s impact on Kendrick’s career, while also addressing the tension surrounding Kendrick’s upcoming Super Bowl halftime performance, a spot many believed should’ve gone to Wayne, a Louisiana native. The mention is a subtle but powerful acknowledgment of Wayne’s influence on Kendrick’s rise to stardom.

“Wacced Out Murals.” is acknowledging Wayne’s legacy, while also highlights Kendrick’s evolving role in the industry, positioning himself as the heir to Wayne’s throne in hip-hop.

The lyric serves as both a gesture of respect and a quiet statement about Kendrick’s own dominance in the game. Wayne’s influence is undeniable in the modern era of rap, and Kendrick’s recognition of that legacy adds another layer to GNX’s introspective, competitive tone.
