Old Kendrick Lamar Verse Surfaces on Jonathan Emile Track About Police Brutality

Jamaican-Canadian rapper Jonathan Emile has released "Heaven Help Dem", which features a verse from Kendrick Lamar. The song is about victims of police brutality. According to a publicist, Lamar's verse was recorded in late 2011, but the song wasn't completed until last December. The song appears on Emile's debut album, which will be released in 2015. 

Recently, Lamar attracted criticism for statements about police brutality given in a recent interview. "What happened to [Michael Brown] should've never happened," he said. "Never. But when we don't have respect for ourselves, how do we expect them to respect us? It starts from within. Don't start with just a rally, don't start from looting -- it starts from within."

Watch Lamar perform "Fuck Your Ethnicity" at Pitchfork Music Festival:

      Wait, Burning Man is going online-only? What does that even look like?

      You could have been forgiven for missing the announcement that actual physical Burning Man has been canceled for this year, if not next. Firstly, the nonprofit Burning Man organization, known affectionately to insiders as the Borg, posted it after 5 p.m. PT Friday. That, even in the COVID-19 era, is the traditional time to push out news when you don't want much media attention. 
      But secondly, you may have missed its cancellation because the Borg is being careful not to use the C-word. The announcement was neutrally titled "The Burning Man Multiverse in 2020." Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
