The Inglewood High School girls basketball team went viral on X/Twitter recently for dancing to Kendrick Lamar’s recent banger, “TV Off.” Whether the lady Sentinels won, if this was a half time show or the team was just goofing around is unclear. But what is clear, is that Kendrick’s reign isn’t going to be over anytime soon.
Lamar’s recent back-to-back link ups with DJ Mustard is a deliciously petty retort to Drake’s claims that Kendrick is “always rapping like he’s tryna get the slaves free.” An egregious statement from a Black foreigner who’s made a fortune imitating Black AMERICAN culture.
A Canadian making light of the U.S.A’s history with enslaving African people will never age well. A permanent stain on his legacy. Nonetheless, Kendrick isn’t trippin off him. He’s definitely getting the last laugh with the success of Not Like Us and TV Off (as well as the entire GNX project).
The Inglewood High Girls’ Basketball Team balling out to “TV Off” cearly shows that Kendrick can and does make club/dance bangers, despite Drake’s claims.
Outside of the actual songs getting play all over social media channels, other companies are starting to join in on the fun of this perpetual rap beef. Heinz put up a billboard last week, definitively drawing a line in the sand that they are Team Kendrick. Check out the girls paying homage to Lamar at https://www.youtube.com/shorts/pVB-treIfHw.
