Kendrick Lamar’s latest album, GNX, is making waves, and the opening track “Wacced Out Murals” has everyone talking. The song not only revisits a controversial moment involving Lil Wayne but also takes a light jab at West Coast rap legend Snoop Dogg. True to his laid-back style, Snoop has responded with humor and grace, showing why he remains a hip-hop icon.
The song title refers to a Compton mural of Kendrick Lamar that was defaced by a Drake fan earlier this year. In his lyrics, Kendrick expresses surprise and mild disappointment over Snoop’s support for Drake, particularly referencing the viral “Taylor Made Freestyle.” This AI-generated diss track, featuring the voices of Snoop Dogg and the late Tupac Shakur, left fans of both rappers buzzing.
“Snoop posted ‘Taylor Made,’ I prayed it was the edibles/ I couldn’t believe it, it was only right for me to let it go,” Kendrick raps, hinting that he’s moved past the moment.
The line didn’t escape Snoop’s attention. After the album dropped, the Doggfather shared a video reacting to the lyric with his signature humor. “They did what? When? How? Are you sure? [Sigh] Y’all have a good night. [Laughs] Why everybody calling my phone, blowing me up?” he joked, perfectly capturing the Internet’s frenzy over the track.
Adding to the intrigue, Snoop later shared the now-infamous “Taylor Made Freestyle” on his Instagram Stories with the caption “90s Hip Hop Forever.” Although the track was eventually pulled due to a legal complaint from Tupac’s estate, it became a hot topic in the rap world.
On Friday (November 22), Snoop addressed Kendrick directly, praising GNX and cheekily confirming what fans had speculated: “Yep, it was the edibles.” Whether he was joking or not, the response cemented his position as one of hip-hop’s coolest OGs, always ready to turn controversy into a laugh.
Kendrick’s GNX continues to fuel conversations about artistry, respect, and the intersection of old-school and new-school rap. With moments like this, it’s clear the culture is alive and thriving.
