Andrew Schulz Stands His Ground Against Kendrick Lamar Backlash, “I Hate Having to Explain Jokes”

HonkMagazine

Comedian Andrew Schulz is known for speaking his mind, and he’s making headlines again due to a recent controversy involving rapper Kendrick Lamar. During a discussion on The Breakfast Club, Schulz addressed the backlash he received after responding to a line from Lamar’s song, “wacced out murals.” The trouble started when Lamar made a reference to Schulz in his lyrics. In response, Schulz made a joke that many people found offensive, implying he could take advantage of Lamar because he’s shorter. This comment led to criticism, with many calling his joke inappropriate and harmful.

Nonetheless, Schulz defends himself, stating that context is important and believes he was responding to Lamar’s challenge. “They turned it into something racist right away. I’m just pointing out that he’s small!” Schulz said, expressing his frustration over the uproar. He added, “I don’t like having to explain my jokes. He’s little, so why is he telling people to harm my friends?” Schulz also pointed to Lamar’s lyrics, arguing that since Lamar made aggressive statements first, his joke was fair game. While Schulz sees the outrage as an example of selective sensitivity, many believe he went too far. This situation has sparked broader discussions about the limits of comedy, artistic expression, and whether responding to insults in entertainment is acceptable.

However, Schulz remains firm in his stance, suggesting he’s not the real villain. “I don’t like being seen as a bully. He told his fans to harm my friends,” he emphasized, suggesting that Lamar’s aggressive lyrics prompted an equally strong reaction from him. As this back and forth continues to draw attention, one thing is clear: Andrew Schulz isn’t backing down, and the backlash isn’t going away either. Whether this situation will calm down or escalate remains to be seen, but Schulz’s refusal to apologize highlights his unfiltered and unapologetic style, for better or worse.

Amanda Fagan unveils lost love and regret on latest release “Forever Yearn”

Amanda Fagan

Amanda Fagans latest release, “Forever Yearn,” is a tragic love story of pride, lost opportunity, and the harrowing knowledge that some mistakes can never be undone. A young couple at heart, wild and almost in love, but whose pride prevents the relationship from flowering. Their story doesn’t end with seeing what went wrong. It hurts more because you don’t see it for years.

“It’s a song about breaking cycles, but the characters are caught in the consequences of their choices. They learn from their mistakes, but knowledge cannot change the past. What remains is the longing for each other, which gives the song its emotional weight and its title, “Forever Yearn.”

Inspired by Emily Brontë’s Wuthering Heights, the song feels like a love story that never gets old. Fagan’s premise blends regret and longing, showing how pride can linger long after an alternative decision could have changed everything. So “Forever Yearn” is less about lost love than about two people wondering what might have been.

iLLLACAT

iLLLACAT drops “Like Dat,” a Hip-Hop cut with punchy production, percussion, and synths that give the record movement. Bookie comes on the track and sets the tone immediately with the hard lines, “Get out of my face with the gas, we’re on the chase for the cash, if you’re moving fake I’ll pass, I’ll pack it, and I’ll put it in a bag.” The delivery is right there in the money, the movement, and staying away from anything fake.

The production leaves plenty of space to land those words. Percussion powers the track with synths adding another layer to the beat, a backdrop for the straight-up vocal approach. “Like Dat” maintains tight energy and, instead of overcomplicating its message, lets the verses do the work in terms of personality.

The line, “Steady making money while smoking a pain killer” provides another memorable moment and an insight into the attitude that runs throughout the record. iLLLACAT brings us “Like Dat”, a pure hip-hop joint with Bookie on the track.
