Some of those songs include references to the likes of Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, John Madden, local high schools in Los Angeles, and his upcoming Super Bowl Bowl performance.

It also has a song called “Dodger Blue” that is, obviously, a shout out to the World Series champions.

Track 1: wacced out

Track 5: hey now

It’s bald heads and the heckling for all endorsements”

Track 8: dodger blue

“What school you went to? God didn’t have Compton

Westchester, King Drew, do we function’?”

Kendrick Lamar released GNX, a new album, out of nowhere: What we know

Kendrick Lamar caught everyone by surprise.

If you thought it was a regular Friday, you were mistaken. Kendrick Lamar caught everyone by surprise, releasing a new album GNX.

Kendrick Lamar, who will also perform in the 2025 Super Bowl, did no promotion whatsoever before this album dropped unexpectedly. While his name was in the news quite a bit after a very public beef with Drake, he did not even announce that a new project was on the way.

The album is 12 songs and 44 minutes long and the description listed with the album reads:

He asked us to “watch the party die,” but only so he could resurrect it.

This was a pleasant twist for his fans who had not heard a new album from K-Dot since Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers in 2022.

GNX is his sixth studio album and it came out under the labels PGLang and Interscope. It is his first album that Lamar has released since he officially left Top Dawg.

Many of the songs on the album were produced by Jack Antonoff.

The Saints bye week came at a perfect time.

The New Orleans Saints have a bye week this week, meaning there has been no better time for defensive tackle Khalen Saunders to make the trip to Toronto to take in an Eras Tour show.

When the Saints faced the Chiefs on October 7, Kam was in attendance, and Khalen has been able to take in the massive tour a couple times. Thursday night, Khalen posted several videos to his Instagram story from the Rogers Centre from Swift’s show.

Saunders was vibing to “You Belong With Me” and “Love Story,” and he shared Kam’s moment in “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together.”

Jason Kelce reveals his funny Taylor Swift and Travis Christmas gift strategy to Jimmy Kimmel

What do you get for the couple that has it all?

What do you get for the couple that has everything?

Such is the dilemma for Jason Kelce as the holiday season approaches and the former Philadelphia Eagles star makes his gift list. Kelce went on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Thursday night, announcing his new ESPN late night show and sharing his present strategy for brother (and New Heights podcast co-host) Travis and his girlfriend Taylor Swift.

The 14-time Grammy winner has been dating Jason’s little brother for over a year, but the superstar duo is hard to shop for. So what is Kelce’s plan? Go homemade!

“You’ve got to go to handmade gifts,” Kelce said of his strategy. “Something sentimental, maybe, that is near-and-dear to them.” Although he’s not a pro at crafting, he was certainly taking inspiration from his daughters.

Watch that moment and the rest of his interview below:

Did Taylor Swift attend Travis Kelce’s game for Chiefs-Bills on Sunday afternoon?

With a break in her touring schedule, did the 14-time Grammy winner make the trip to Orchard Park?

With a break in the Eras Tour schedule, there was a question as to whether pop icon Taylor Swift would make her first 2024 season appearance at a Chiefs road game to support boyfriend Travis Kelce. The 14-time Grammy winner just completed three shows at the Rogers Centre in Toronto, with three more next weekend.

It would have been a quick trip from Toronto to Kansas City’s game in Buffalo this weekend, but Swift decided to avoid the away game this week. The The Tortured Poets Department singer was there for the Chiefs’ postseason victory over the Bills in Orchard Park back in January, but recent reports have shared that it may not have been much of an enjoyable experience.

There is one more home game for the Chiefs this month — against the Raiders — so we may see Swift back at an NFL game soon.
