Kendrick Lamar Slams Trump In New Song ‘The Heart Part 4’
The hip-hop world is fed up with President Donald Trump, and rapper Kendrick Lamar is just the latest MC to call out the commander-in-chief. After teasing a new project on Instagram wit the Roman numeral IV, the “Alright” rapper released a new song called “The Heart Part 4” and made sure to diss Trump.
While some of Kendrick’s lyrics on the track may or may not be directed at Drake and Big Sean, there’s no doubt about him dissing the president, as he mentions him by name, calling him a “chump” and making a Russia reference.
On “The Heart Part 4,” Kendrick raps: “Donald Trump is a chump, know how we feel, punk / Tell ‘em that God comin’ / And Russia need a replay button, y’all up to somethin’ / Electoral votes look like memorial votes / But America’s truth ain’t ignorin’ the votes.”
The song is not Kendrick’s first time dissing Trump. On Isaiah Rashad’s “Wat’s Wrong” he rapped, “Might stay in the Trump Tower for one week / Spray paint all the walls and smoke weed.”
As K. Dot fans wait for more details about his new album, the rapper may have revealed the release date towards the end of the song when he rapped, “Y’all got ‘til April the 7th to get y’all [expletive] together.”
During an interview with the New York Times, Kendrick described his upcoming album as “urgent” and calling it something needed today. “I think now, how wayward things have gone within the past few months, my focus is ultimately going back to the community and the other communities around the world where they’re doing the groundwork.”
According to the rapper, he hopes to address a problem of today. “We’re in a time where we exclude one major component out of this whole thing called life: God. Nobody speaks on it because it’s almost in conflict with what’s going on in the world when you talk about politics and government and the system.”
