Curious about the recent buzz surrounding Andrew Schulz and Kendrick Lamar? The comedian and rapper seem to have a growing tension after Lamar’s latest album GNX featured a potential diss aimed at Schulz. Their exchange has captured attention, sparking debates about comedy, hip-hop culture, and cultural responsibility.
Here’s everything you need to know about their feud, the lyrics in question, and Schulz’s response.
What happened to Andrew Schulz and Kendrick Lamar?
Andrew Schulz recently responded to a perceived diss from Kendrick Lamar in the track “Wacced Out Murals” from Lamar’s album GNX.
On his podcast Flagrant, Schulz addressed the lyric, “Don’t let no white comedian talk about no Black woman, that’s law.” He interpreted it as a critique of his past remarks about Black women. Schulz joked, “What a time to be alive where rappers gotta talk about comedians for clout” (via Complex).
Schulz criticized what he viewed as hypocrisy in Lamar’s message. He highlighted a contradiction in Lamar’s criticism of comedians while working with artists accused of abuse. Schulz said, “Are you saying Kendrick Lamar put it on wax that he is protecting Black women from white comedian’s jokes, but not the kidnapping, molestation, and rape of R. Kelly?” He also expressed concern about Lamar’s lyric, adding, “I don’t like him threatening the violence, I don’t like that.”
In Wacced Out Murals, Lamar addresses cultural appropriation and internal conflicts within Black communities. He suggests targeting both enablers and those being groomed for appropriation: “The nas that coon, the nas that bein’ groomed, slide on both of them.” Schulz questioned why Lamar’s rhetoric seemed to target Black individuals instead of white comedians making jokes. This, he argued, hinted at a broader cultural critique.
Schulz previously faced criticism for remarks on his podcast about interracial relationships, which some deemed offensive. Reflecting on this, Schulz acknowledged the clip might have inspired Lamar’s lyric. Despite his criticisms, Schulz praised GNX as a strong album, humorously concluding, “It’s a good album, f*** you though.”
While Schulz defended his stance on comedy and free speech, Lamar’s lyrics seem to focus on accountability within and beyond Black culture. The conversation reflects ongoing tensions between artistic freedom and cultural responsibility.
