In a recent interview with Rolling Stone, Nas hailed Kendrick Lamar as the ‘North Star’ of the hip-hop scene. The Queensbridge legend highlighted Kendrick's dedication to the culture and his role in preserving the essence of the genre. Nas said: \”Kendrick is one of the brightest stars we've ever seen, and I don't just mean superstar, I mean North Star - I think he's that kind of person.” \This accolade does not come out of the blue. Nas previously complimented Kendrick for his album ‘GNX,’ which was released in November 2024. On Instagram, Nas wrote: \”Always inspired by my brother KL. Keeping the essence of this s### alive and bringing it forward. Salute King!” \Kendrick Lamar's ‘GNX’ album opens with the track ‘wacced out murals,’ in which he criticizes the choice of him as Super Bowl LIX Halftime Show headliner in New Orleans, Lil Wayne's hometown. In one of his verses, Kendrick reflects on the reactions and emphasizes that Nas was the only one who congratulated him. He raps: \”I used to spin ‘Tha Carter 3,’ I used to wear my Rollie necklace proud. Irony, I guess my hard work disappointed Lil Wayne.” \”Got the Super Bowl and Nas was the only one congratulating me, all this n####### annoyed me, I'm just glad it's on their faces.™
