Kendrick Lamar Channels Goku on Album 'GNX'

Kendrick Lamar recently expressed that he felt like Goku from Dragon Ball Z while working on the track 'Hey Now' from his album 'GNX'. This sentiment emerged during a conversation with producer Mustard, who shared that Lamar's reaction to the beat was transformative, likening it to the anime hero's iconic power-ups. 'Hey Now', which reached No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100, was initially passed over by several artists before Lamar took it on. The rapper's association with Goku highlights the influence of Dragon Ball within the hip-hop community, a nod to the anime's expansive cultural impact. Additionally, Lamar is set to perform at the Super Bowl halftime show, with fans eagerly anticipating how his Dragon Ball inspiration might manifest on stage.
