NBA All-Star Weekend is headed to San Francisco next week, as the league’s best will play at Chase Center in a new All-Star Game format. This year there will be three teams of 8 All-Stars, plus the winning team of the Rising Stars tournament, competing in a mini-tournament as the league looks to change things up after some lackluster games of late.
With the new format came the need for three All-Star uniforms this year instead of just two, and on Thursday we got our first look at what each team will be wearing in San Francisco. Like a year ago in Indianapolis, the uniforms feature a pretty classic look, with a red, a navy, and a light blue look for the three teams.
NBANBA
They are perfectly solid uniforms (which isn’t always the case for All-Star attire) and feature some little details unique to the Bay. The navy and light blue uniforms feature the Oakland oak tree on the belt of the shorts, while the red uniforms feature a San Francisco cable car. I do like the All-Star logo this year with the Golden Gate bridge behind the star, and that’s featured prominently on all three jerseys.
The court also features the Golden Gate bridge silhouette with a blue and yellow court that will certainly draw some reactions on both sides.

All told, this year’s All-Star look is solid and we’ll find out on Sunday, Feb. 16 if the new format is a hit or not.
Each week our staff of film and television experts surveys the entertainment landscape to select the ten best new/newish shows available for you to stream at home. We put a lot of thought into our selections, and our debates on what to include and what not to include can sometimes get a little heated and feelings may get hurt, but so be it, this is an important service for you, our readers. With that said, here are our selections for this week.
Netflix’s most-watched show ever is back. Squid Game season 2 sees the return of Gi-hun (played by Lee Jung-jae), a.k.a. Player 456, who has only one goal: to end the horrifying competition for good. This time, Gi-hun finds himself “locked in a tense battle” with the Front Man (Lee Byung-hun), as well as trying to survive against the other competitors. Squid Game is the rare water-cooler show in the “death of the monoculture” era. Keep up if you want to know what your co-workers are talking about.
Noah Wyle? As a doctor? It’s crazy enough to work. This time, the ER star works in a hospital in Pittsburgh, and the show is “a realistic examination of the challenges facing healthcare workers in today’s America as seen through the lens of the frontline heroes.” The entire 15-episode first season takes place over the course of one 15-hour emergency room shift, not unlike 24.
Sebastian Stan received career-best reviews for his performance in A Different Man, in which he plays Edward, an inspiring actor who undergoes a radical medical procedure to transform his appearance. But his dream turns into a nightmare when he loses out on the role he was born to play to the uber-confident Oswald (Adam Pearson), who has the same genetic condition he once had. A Different Man is a surreal, thought provoking, and inventive film.
12. Severance (Apple TV Plus)
Apple TV+
After a long, long break, one of the best shows on TV is back. Severance picks up where season 1 left off, with Mark (Adam Scott), Helly (Helly Riggs), Dylan (Dylan), and Irving (Irving Bailiff) trifling with the severance barrier, “leading them further down a path of woe,” according to the cryptic Apple TV Plus synopsis. There are so many mysteries left to answer: what’s the deal with Ms. Casey (Dichen Lachman)? What’s the deal with Seth Milchick (series MVP Tramell Tillman)? And seriously, what’s the deal with the freaking goats?
Best Animated Feature at the 2025 Oscars is unusually stacked. Inside Out 2 is the frontrunner considering how much money it made, but honestly, it’s probably the weakest of the nominees. Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl is a delight, obviously, while the beautiful and heartbreaking Flow is my personal favorite. But don’t sleep on The Wild Robot, a charming critical and commercial hit from Lilo & Stitch co-director Chris Sanders about a robot learning to adapt to their surroundings in the great outdoors. It’s very good.
Mike Judge and Greg Daniels have been attached to some of the best TV comedies of the last 30 years, including Parks and Recreation, The Simpsons, and The Office for Daniels and Beavis and Butt-Head and Silicon Valley for Judge. They also co-created King of the Hill. Their latest collaboration is producing Common Side Effects, a surreal Adult Swim animated series about the “world’s greatest medicine” from creators Joseph Bennett (Scavengers Reign) and Steve Hely (30 Rock). Episodes will stream the next day on Max.
Will Ferrell and Reese Witherspoon star in You’re Cordially Invited, a big-hearted romantic-comedy about two weddings being booked on the same day at the same venue. The father (Ferrell) of one bride and the sister (Witherspoon) of the other go “head-to-head as they stop at nothing to uphold an unforgettable celebration for their loved ones.” Beyond Witherspoon, You’re Cordially Invited has a strong rom-com pedigree with writer and director Nicholas Stoller, who previously made Forgetting Sarah Marshall.
8. Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man (Disney Plus)
disney plus
Spider-Man: you know him, you love him (unless you’re J. Jonah Jameson, then you want more pictures of him). Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man is an animated throwback to a time when the web slinger was as concerned with his high school studies as he was saving the citizens of New York. Hopefully there are fewer galaxy-threatening portals than in the MCU movies.
Mo is a special series. The Netflix comedy-drama follows Mo Najjar (played by creator Mo Amer), a Palestinian refugee living in Houston, Texas, as he attempts to secure asylum. Season 2 begins with Mo stranded across the border in Mexico, and he’ll need “all the hustle and charm he can muster” to return to the States. Mo is timely, hilarious, and heartbreaking.
A new season of It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia is coming later this year, but don’t forget about Rob McElhenney’s other excellent comedy series. Mythic Quest season 4 (also the show’s final season) brings everyone — including McElhenney’s Ian, Charlotte Nicdao’s Poppy, and Danny Pudi’s Brad — back together at Mythic Quest HQ, where they’ll confront “new challenges amongst a changing video game landscape as stars rise, egos clash, relationships bloom and everyone tries to have a little more work life balance.” I’ll miss Ian and Poppy’s Don and Peggy-like fraught yet platonic relationship the most.
Pharrell Williams probably isn’t the first musician you would think of to have his life story be turned into a movie, let alone a movie that tells his life story through Lego. That is, until you remember, oh yeah, he wrote and/or produced “Happy,” “Get Lucky,” “Drop It Like It’s Hot,” “Hollaback Girl,” “Rock Your Body,” “Milkshake.” So, yeah, now it makes more sense. Piece By Piece also features interviews with some of Pharrell’s famous collaborators, including Kendrick Lamar, Gwen Stefani, Snoop Dogg, and Jay Z.
Yes, We Live In Time has the goofy-looking horse, but it’s also a moving film that stars Florence Pugh and Andrew Garfield as Almut and Tobias, who hit it off following a, uh, car accident. “Through snapshots of their life together — falling for each other, building a home, becoming a family — a difficult truth is revealed that rocks its foundation,” the official plot synopsis reads. “As they embark on a path challenged by the limits of time, they learn to cherish each moment of the unconventional route their love story has taken.”
Clean Slate is one of the final projects from the late Norman Lear, the creator and/or producer of All In The Family, The Jeffersons, Sanford And Son, Good Times, and Maude. The comedy follows Alabama car wash owner Harry (played by George Wallace) who learns that his child, who he thought was his son, is actually a trans woman named Desiree (Laverne Cox). As per Prime Video: “Her homecoming brings together a hilarious cast of friends, coworkers, and love interests, as Desiree and Harry try to get it right the second time around
Prime Video has two very popular depraved superhero shows: the one that’s animated, and the one that it isn’t. Invincible is the animated one, and it’s back for another season of a shockingly effective “pairing [of] consistent bone-squishing action with a slow-burning plot.” In season 3, Mark (voiced by Steven Yeun) is forced to face his past and his future, while discovering how much further he’ll need to go to protect the people he loves.
Ahead of playing season 2’s most polarizing character on The Last Of Us, the great Kaitlyn Dever stars in Apple Cider Vinegar. The limited series tells the “true-ish story” of Belle Gibson (Dever), an Australian wellness influencer who claims to have cured her terminal brain cancer through health and wellness. As you might imagine, Belle is full of crap. Apple Cider Vinegar is about the rise of a wellness empire, and the inevitable downfall.
Last week, Severance delivered both goats and Gwendoline Christie. This week, you had better make sure that (if you cannot abide by spoilers) you stay away from social media until you have time to set aside that hour because, well, the ramifications of this episode will reverberate.
In fact, this one might make you forget about last week’s creatures for a little while, and you’ll obviously wanna know when that will take place.
When Will Severance Season 2, Episode 4 Be Available?
February 6.
This week’s episode is titled “Woe’s Hollow” and arrives with this description: “The team traverses unfamiliar terrain. Mark and Helly explore their feelings. Irving harbors a growing distrust of a friend.”
In its second season, Severance remains one of Apple TV+’s best shows, which is surely rewarding for creator Dan Erickson and director Ben Stiller, especially since Stiller recently revealed to Hollywood Reporter that he had to push like crazy to get Adam Scott cast, and the Parks and Rec actor understands why:
“I couldn’t really blame [Apple] at the time. I was thought of as more of a comedic person, and it’s a big swing… I’ve never experienced anything like that before in show business. No one’s ever stuck their neck out for me like that.”
Stiller, however, saw Scott as a natural fit for this workplace satire. “So much of the show is based in The Office and Parks and Rec and Office Space, and that genre,” he related. “The humor in the script that Dan wrote was in that world but had this other layer to it. Casting was about figuring out who could handle that.” And the rest is Lumon history.
As a dedicated Wilco fan, I have watched I Am Trying To Break Your Heart at least eight times. And that apparently is enough times to actually get sucked into I Am Trying To Break Your Heart. At least that’s how I felt 11 years ago when I had the opportunity to visit the Wilco Loft.
If you love the band, you know about the Wilco Loft. It’s the space on Chicago’s north side where Wilco plays, records, stores about a million guitars, gets filmed for classic rock documentaries, and does all the other Wilco things. I was there to interview Jeff Tweedy about his side project band Tweedy with his son Spencer. It was the second time (out of four) that I spoke with Jeff, and it was the instance where he seemed the least guarded and most vulnerable. (His wife Sue had recently been diagnosed with cancer, and he was understandably emotional about it.)
At some point during our nearly three-hour conversation, I pivoted from the subject at hand to ask about my favorite Wilco record — possibly the least guarded and most vulnerable LP of Jeff’s career — A Ghost Is Born. I did this under the guise of commenting on the album’s 10th anniversary, but honestly I would have used any excuse (the existence of ghosts, the difficulty of child birth, etc.) to bring up A Ghost Is Born. The record means a lot to me.
I shared my own theory about Wilco’s career — which happens to be an opinion shared by many other Wilco fans — that posited A Ghost Is Born as a point of demarcation. Pre-A Ghost Is Born, Jeff Tweedy’s songwriting is rooted in his persistent unhappiness, I argued to the man himself. Post-A Ghost Is Born, there is more clarity and comfort on Wilco albums, which presumably also derives from his personal life.
Now, I didn’t fully grasp this in the moment, but there’s an implication here that must have been offensive to Tweedy on some level. And that is the suggestion that his personal unhappiness made those pre-A Ghost Is Born records “better.” I didn’t mean it that way, exactly, but that was the undeniable point at the root of my cute little critical theory. After all, the album I said I loved the most was the one he made while in the most harrowing throes of addiction, when he was struggling to manage his chemical intake so he could remain sentient in the studio while also singing and playing through mind-crushing migraines.
Jeff Tweedy, to his credit, did not laugh at me or escort me the hell out of his musical clubhouse. Instead, he answered me thoughtfully. “The way I see it is that I was always pretty comfortable with being vulnerable, but not particularly confident. I feel like I’m a lot more confident, but I still embrace the fact that I am pretty vulnerable, if that makes any sense. I don’t have to be somebody else. I don’t have to be as good as somebody else, I just have to keep making stuff that I am excited by. That is one of the only things I have had control over. I am more aware of it — I am more aware of the things that I have control over.”
While I didn’t put it in these exact terms, I was basically applying the “tortured artist” mythology to Tweedy’s work. And that’s the very mythos that Tweedy has for years tried to dispel. He has done this repeatedly in interviews. And he wrote about it in his 2018 memoir, Let’s Go (So We Can Get Back). As he told a reporter the following year, “I don’t just think it’s unhelpful, I think it’s harmful and dangerous for people to believe it. Suffering obviously doesn’t create anything other than misery. There would be a whole lot more art in the world if it was only the product of suffering – I think artists create in spite of suffering, like anybody else.”
This is personal for Tweedy. If you care about Americana-adjacent indie rock, he is one of the foremost examples of the “tortured artist” archetype, especially since he was able to survive said torture and persevere for decades as a healthier and happier person. But what to make of A Ghost Is Born? Why am I attracted to this record? Do l like it for the wrong reasons? Do I misunderstand something I profess to love? If so, what am I missing?
I’ve been thinking about these questions lately, and this time I actually have a good excuse: A massive 10-disc deluxe edition of A Ghost Is Born drops on Friday. It includes outtakes, a concert album from 2004, and several very long jams spread out nearly half of the box set. It’s as fascinating, brutal, moving, thrilling, and challenging as the proper record. It’s given me more of A Ghost Is Born to love, which I appreciate. But more important, it gives a fuller and more accurate picture of Jeff Tweedy’s “tortured artist” masterpiece, and in the process rebukes the “tortured artist” part of that equation.
To be clear: I don’t just love A Ghost Is Born for the behind-the-scenes pathos. When I wrote about the record this summer for its 20th anniversary, I noted that Wilco (like many of my favorite bands) has an “art gallery” side and a “county fair” side. Meaning that they sometimes make difficult and esoteric “art” music, and sometimes they make catchy and strummy “fun” music. And then there’s A Ghost Is Born, where they manage to do both things simultaneously. “Handshake Drugs” depicts the mindset of an addict slowly losing his grip amid a wave of skronky guitars that at song’s end devolve into anxious waves of wiry noise. It also makes you want to sing-along with your arms in the air on a humid July evening. These qualities are not in conflict. They perfectly complement one another. That’s what I love about it.
My friend and fellow Wilco fan Ryley Walker has a different term for it: simple man’s progressive rock. What Ryley meant is that this is music with adventurous artistic aspirations that’s grounded in workaday Midwesterness. (He was referring to the self-titled Loose Fur album but the term obviously fits A Ghost Is Born, a close cousin to that record.) For anyone whose musical sweet spot resides between crunchy Grateful Dead jams and foundational underground guitar bands like Sonic Youth and Television, A Ghost Is Born is a core touchstone of modern American music, a record that connects many dots that previously seemed incompatible.
It was also made by a man whose life was falling apart. And that’s not just mythology — it’s also pertinent to the sound and character of the record. As Tweedy discusses in his memoir as well as the liner notes of the deluxe edition, A Ghost Is Born was originally conceived as a concept record about Noah’s Ark (hence all the songs about bees and spiders and hummingbirds) that he hoped might explain his life to his kids once he was gone.
“I thought I was going to die,” he writes in his book. “Every song we recorded seemed likely to be my last. Every note felt final.”
The most obvious musical manifestation of Tweedy’s condition is “Less Than You Think,” the 15-minute penultimate track made up mostly of electronic drone and mechanical noises. It was so extreme that even the album’s co-producer, the experimental music godhead Jim O’Rourke, didn’t think it should be on the album. But you can also hear it in the screaming guitar solos that Tweedy plays all over the record, particularly the surly bolt of six-string lightning surging through “At Least That’s What You Said” and the panic attack-inducing feedback that swallows “Muzzle Of Bees.” And then there’s “Spiders,” which Tweedy claims was simplified to include fewer chord changes because “my ability to remain upright” was compromised during recording. “This allowed me to just recite the lyrics and punctuate them with guitar skronks and scribbles to get through the song without having to concentrate past my headache too much.”
Jeff Tweedy doesn’t like “tortured artist” mythology. But he was, genuinely, a tortured artist when he made A Ghost Is Born. But is that what makes A Ghost Is Born great? After immersing myself the deluxe edition, my feelings on this subject have evolved.
When I wrote about A Ghost Is Born last June, I argued that it was “a quasi-solo record” for Tweedy. “Not only does the narcotized vibe of the lyrics and music feel extra-specific to Tweedy’s headspace, but Tweedy’s voice and guitar playing are even more dominant than usual,” I wrote. There’s some truth scattered in that sentence, but I now believe the overall sentiment is incorrect. A Ghost Is Born is not a solo record, quasi or otherwise. It’s yet another example of Wilco working together as an excellent band, even if this particular version of Wilco was short-lived.
When most people think about the aughts incarnation of Wilco, they typically envision the transition from the Jay Bennett-era Wilco seen in I Am Trying To Break Your Heart to the current lineup with Nels Cline and Pat Sansone. But there’s a missing link in that chain that’s preserved on A Ghost Is Born, with Tweedy and stalwart bassist John Stirratt joined by recent addition Glenn Kotche on drums plus multi-instrumentalist Leroy Bach and keyboardist Mikael Jorgensen.
Similar to the landmark Yankee Hotel Foxtrot box set, the outtakes discs on the expanded A Ghost Is Born demonstrate how skilled these musicians were at taking Tweedy’s songs and reshaping them a million different ways. Familiar favorites like “Hummingbird” and “Muzzle Of Bees” are variously presented as mentally unwell psych-pop, spooky country, and Byrds-style folk rock. Obsessive fans will delight in tracing the evolution of these songs, but it’s amazing how enjoyable these alternate roads not taken are in their own right.
The most polarizing part of the box set will surely be the eight massive jams spread out over four discs. Dubbed “Fundamentals,” these meandering tracks typically last about a half hour and make “Less Than You Think” seem like a punchy toe-tapper. As veteran music journalist Bob Mehr writes in the liners, these excursions would often unfold with Tweedy on the studio floor with a notebook of lyrics and an acoustic guitar and the rest of the band in the control room extemporaneously responding to what he was doing, without Tweedy being able to hear them. For Tweedy, this was a way to discover the best stuff in his pile of material. On the box set, you occasionally hear songs emerge from the morass of whirs and ambient noise, like the fan favorite “Bob Dylan’s Beard” and “Impossible Germany,” which ended up on the next Wilco record, 2007’s Sky Blue Sky.
If that sounds self-indulgent, Tweedy doesn’t disagree. “I felt encouraged and emboldened by the whole saga of Yankee Hotel Foxtrot to give myself permission to be as esoteric and as pretentious as I wanted to be,” he says in the liners. It also speaks to the willingness of his collaborators to follow his lead, while at the same time supporting and even protecting him during one of his lowest periods.
That is my takeaway from this version of A Ghost Is Born: The rest of Wilco stepped up to rescue the record from an otherwise certain oblivion. The box set underscores each man’s vital contributions — the rollicking piano lick that opens “Hell Is Chrome” pitched in by Jorgenson, the songwriting contributions made to “Wishful Thinking” by Kotche, some of the best basslines ever on a Wilco record by Stirratt, and the myriad instances of low-key instrumental genius from Bach. This was a great band that produced a classic in spite of the hardships, not because of them.
Sónar offers a strong excuse for a European getaway this summer: The full lineup for the 2025 edition of the Barcelona, Spain festival was revealed today (February 6), and it’s a strong, electronic-led roster.
New additions to the festival (which goes down from June 12 to 14) include live shows from Pa Salieu, Sega Bodega, Dengue Dengue Dengue, and Herbert & Momoko, as well as DJ sets from Dixon, Actress b2b Skee Mask, Dee Diggs, and 90s legend Ultra Naté. There will also be a tribute to Ryuichi Sakamoto, who died in 2023, from Sakamoto collaborators Alva Noto and Fennez.
That’s in addition to a previously announced acts Four Tet, Skrillex, Arca, Armin van Buuren, Eric Prydz, Honey Dijon, Peggy Gou, Polo & Pan, and more. All in all, there are 117 performances taking place across ten stages, split across Sónar By Day and Sónar By Night.
Tickets are on sale now via the festival website. The base option, the SonarPass, is going for 210€ (about $218).
Meanwhile, Four Tet and Skrillex (alongside Fred Again..) had a major moment in 2023 when they headlined Coachella. That didn’t change much for Four Tet at home, though, as he later explained, “I did Coachella, and the next gig was a three-and-a-half-hour set at my daughter’s 13th birthday party to 20 teenage girls, who I felt looked at me deeply unimpressed the whole time.”
The Ophelias have announced their first album in four years. Produced by Julien Baker (who previously worked with the introspective indie-rock group on “Neil Young On High”), Spring Grove comes out on April 4. “There’s so much more beyond heartbreak to write about,” vocalist Spencer Peppet said in a statement, adding that there are “zero songs about break-ups” on the album.
The Ophelias — comprised of Peppet, Mic Adams, Andrea Gutmann Fuentes, and Jo Shaffer — have also shared the first single from Spring Grove. “Cumulonimbus” is both ominous and blissful, and what the band describes as “movie music”; it’s their most assured-sounding song yet.
You can watch the “Cumulonimbus” video above, and check out the album cover, tracklist, and tour dates for Spring Grove below.
It’s happening, this is not a drill: New Rihanna music has officially been announced.
It’s not her long-awaited new album, though: Today (February 6), the trailer for the Smurfs movie, in which Rihanna voices Smurfette, was shared. At the end of the trailer, it’s revealed that the soundtrack includes new music from Rihanna, as well as the song “Higher Love” by Desi Trill featuring DJ Khaled, Cardi B, Natania, and Subhi. The trailer also includes some of a Rihanna cover of Belinda Carlisle’s “Heaven Is A Place On Earth.”
The movie hits theaters on July 18, so the soundtrack will presumably also be released around then.
While it’s not a proper Rihanna album, it’s also not nothing: Pharrell and Justin Timberlake have both had No. 1 hits from animated movies soundtracks (“Happy” from Despicable Me 2 and “Can’t Stop The Feeling!” from Trolls, respectively), for example.
The official synopsis for the film reads, “When Papa Smurf (John Goodman) is mysteriously taken by evil wizards, Razamel and Gargamel, Smurfette (Rihanna) leads the Smurfs on a mission into the real world to save him. With the help of new friends, the Smurfs must discover what defines their destiny to save the universe.”
It also reveals a stacked voice cast that includes James Corden, Nick Offerman, JP Karliak, Daniel Levy, Amy Sedaris, Natasha Lyonne, Sandra Oh, Octavia Spencer, Nick Kroll, Hannah Waddingham, Alex Winter, Maya Erskine, Billie Lourd, Xolo Maridueña, and Kurt Russell.
Ariana Grande had one of the best and most memorable Saturday Night Live episodes of 2024, thanks to elements like her spot-on Celine Dion impression and the viral “Domingo” sketch. Another highlight was the “Charades With Mom” sketch, which sees Grande get unexpectedly aggressive during a family game night and accuse her son’s boyfriend of having a “tiny pecker.”
Well, it turns out that was based on a true story.
Grande was a guest on Jimmy Kimmel Live! last night (February 5), Grande recalled how an actual game night with her family inspired the sketch, saying:
“It was based on a true event. We were having a game night and, you know, my family is very… they love games very much. I just love to play them, but certain other family members love to win them. It’s life or death, and one of my brother’s husband’s brothers made a joke, or was winning and was like, ‘Haha, we’re really winning,’ you know, that kind of thing. And my mom was like, ‘What, you got a tiny dick or something?’ And I was like [pantomimes holding a phone], ‘Bowen, we have to write a sketch.’ I was like, ‘There’s something here.’”
The Brat era won’t officially be over until the culmination of the Brat Tour in August, but Charli XCX is already thinking about her next album.
Brat co-writer and co-producer Finn Keane told Grammy.com that Charli has “a desire” to “do the complete opposite thing again, which is very in keeping with her ethos.” He continued, “Some of the conversations we’re having and music we’ve been playing around with the last couple of months have been completely the opposite. I love that spirit. It’s the iconoclastic impulse to rebuild something completely different, to show that you actually could do this other thing.”
He added, “It’s been really funny, in the months after finishing the remix album, any other musical discussion that has taken place has been kind of anti-Brat. I doubt that’ll stick, but that’s been a really interesting thing to observe and makes me very optimistic and excited about [what’s next].”
What’s immediately next for Charli, other than the aforementioned tour, is starring in a ton of movies. That includes A24’s The Moment, which the “360” singer is also producing. If you want to appear in the film, and you’re able to do a “standard American accent” or play a late 30s British manager or a “strikingly beautiful, poised” woman in her 40s-60s, now’s your chance.
A Super Bowl promo that aired a few days ago seemed to suggest Kendrick Lamar will perform his recent No. 1 hit “Not Like Us” during the halftime show. That sounds obvious on the surface, but the relevant additional context here is that the song is currently at the center of some defamation accusations.
Still, it looks like Lamar is indeed planning on showcasing the track during one of the biggest nights in North American pop culture: TMZ reports that per “sources connected to him, the network and the league,” there’s “no doubt” that the song will make the setlist. The publication also notes, “What the lawyers [for FOX and the NFL] have to decide is whether to broadcast the lyrics that allegedly defame Drake, and risk a potential lawsuit.”
Meanwhile, Top Dawg Entertainment’s Punch recently offered an explanation for why Lamar didn’t include “Not Like Us” on his recent album GNX, writing, “Integrity. That record was for the battle. The album was a separate thing. Could have put it on there to boost overall sales but choose to leave it for what it was. Integrity.”
The Super Bowl is set for February 9, so we’re just a few days away from seeing just what Lamar does on one of music’s biggest stages.
