Kendrick Lamar explained his process for putting together the tracklist for his GNX album while speaking with Timothee Chalamet for a new interview for the NFL and Apple Music. In doing so, he brought up the track, "man at the garden," and explained how earlier in his career, he might not have been able to get a song like that as early in the album.
“I’m at a point now in my career, I don’t have to play the game of having ‘the album track’ at the end of the record," Lamar told the A Complete Unknown actor. "I want that motherf*cker up. I want it at the top. So, you're gonna get 'man at the garden' at the top of the record. I’ve put in enough work to say I want it this way and that’s my way.” Elsewhere in the interview, the two discussed some of Lamar's older tracks with Chalamet saying he's been a fan of the music "forever." Check out a clip from the conversation below.
