Kendrick Lamar Once Considered Not Releasing ‘Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers’
Kendrick Lamar has revealed that at one point in time, he had doubts about whether he should release his DAMN. followup, Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers. In his recent W Magazine cover story, the artist explained that the vulnerability and insecurities he created the album with were actually what almost caused him to shelve the record — if not for his kids and their future kids. “When I got to completion and I said, ‘I may or may not put this out; I’m not going to put this out; it’s way too much,’ I thought about my children,” K-Dot said. “I thought about when they turn 21, or they’re older in life, and when I got grandchildren, or if I’m long gone—this can be a prerequisite of how to cope. That’s the beauty of it for me.” Lamar also opened up about the amount of honesty he put in the al...

Kanye West Spouts Antisemitic Comments in Unaired Tucker Carlson Interview Clips
Kanye West recently sat down for a wide-ranging interview with Tucker Carlson, but apparently the two-part conversation included much more beyond the pro-life, White Lives Matter talking points that the Fox News pundit chose to air.

At least it will come with some financial engineering,” West said, perpetuating an antisemitic stereotype that Jewish people control financial systems.
