Fan Frenzy, Drake Devotee Ditches Tattoo for Kendrick Lamar Tribute

The ongoing rivalry between Drake and Kendrick Lamar has taken an unexpected turn, with one former Drake fan switching allegiances in a bold and permanent way. The drama began with a series of musical exchanges, including Drake’s response track “Push Ups” following Lamar’s fiery verse on “Like That.” Initially, many believed Drake had the upper hand. However, as the battle raged on, the tide seemed to turn in Lamar’s favor.

The release of Lamar’s music video “Not Like Us” has been a game-changer. The highly anticipated video, filled with layers and callbacks to previous Drake references, has garnered over 26.1 million views. Among the viewers was a dedicated Drake fan who decided to make a drastic change, covering up his “In My Feelings” tattoo with a portrait of Kendrick Lamar.

In the viral clip, the fan reveals his new tattoo, featuring Kendrick in a diamond crown of thorns with the words “BBL Drizzy” beneath it. While the new ink is undoubtedly an upgrade from the previous one, the fan has faced intense backlash online. Social media users have labeled him a “glazer” and a “d**k rider,” criticizing his decision to tattoo another man’s face on his body.

This shift in loyalty raises questions about the nature of fandom. Is this fan’s move an extreme display of admiration, or simply taking things too far? The fan’s reasons remain unclear, but it might involve a lost bet. Despite the criticism, this act is seen as another victory for Kendrick Lamar in the ongoing feud.

What do you think of this tattoo transformation? Is it a testament to Kendrick Lamar’s influence, or an over-the-top gesture of fandom? Share your thoughts in the comments, and don’t forget to check out the “Not Like Us” music video if you haven’t already.

E.G. Phillips explores cosmic escape with “Please Don’t Make Me Come Back from the Moon”

E.G. Phillips’ new release, “Please Don’t Make Me Come Back from the Moon,” is a track that drifts effortlessly between genres and atmospheres. “Please Don’t Make Me Come Back from the Moon” is an experience that feels suspended in time and space.

Blending alt-folk with jazz-fusion touches, the track creates a dreamy and unpredictable wave of radio-static textures that ripple beneath the verses, giving the impression of floating through an unfamiliar yet comforting universe. There’s a sense of detachment here, as if reality has been left behind entirely.

Just as listeners settle into its hazy rhythm, the bridge shifts gears into a jazz-rock groove, complete with trumpet lines that subtly nod to a fusion-inspired legacy. This transition feels organic, enhancing the track’s exploratory nature rather than disrupting it. “Please Don’t Make Me Come Back from the Moon” is a beautifully strange offering that invites listeners to step outside themselves and embrace the unknown, even if only for a few minutes.

Captain Iron and the Windrift Band put on a sci-fi pop show with new release “Ultra Sound”

Captain Iron / Windrift Band opens a vivid portal with “Ultra Sound,” a bold, creative dance-pop song that fully embraces cinematic storytelling. From the outset, the track establishes itself as more than just a catchy club-ready anthem, it’s a narrative-driven experience wrapped in glossy, futuristic production.

“Ultra Sound” is a great track because of its unique idea, a sexy fembot synth lures astronauts into a trap, then uses an ultrasonic tractor beam to steal their ship. It’s fun, a little strange, and very different from what you usually hear in pop music. This lets Captain Iron show off his unique lyrical style. The story feels like it’s moving forward with each beat, like it’s a movie.

It’s easy to see how “Ultra Sound” could grow even further with full-scale production or collaboration, since its foundation already offers plenty of possibilities. Captain Iron / Windrift Band gives us a song that is both fun and smart. “Ultra Sound” doesn’t just want people to dance, it wants to take them to a colorful, imaginative world where stories and sounds come together thrillingly.
