'Billboard Unfiltered' discusses Kendrick Lamar's 'GNX' and Drake's legal filings in this episode. Watch it here.
Editorial Director Damien Scott credited Lamar with “blanketing the culture” and compared GNX to Jay-Z’s The Blueprint with how direct and to the point the project is while releasing digestible hit records.
