On “Heart Pt. 6” – a cut from his surprise album GNX that dropped on Friday (November 22) – K. Dot reflects on the early days of TDE with Jay Rock, ScHoolboy Q, Ab-Soul and the people who helped them get their start.
On the last verse, he acknowledges that the group never put out an album because he became focused on other endeavors.
“I jog my memory, knowin’ Black Hippy didn’t work ’cause of me/Creatively, I moved on with new concepts in reach/Top, remember all them sessions we would strategize/To hit the streets, then come back, record three records?” he raps.

During his Juneteenth ‘Pop Out’ show over the summer, Kendrick Lamar brought Black Hippy out for a bit of a family reunion, much to the crowd’s delight.
Despite the heartwarming moment, however, it’s unlikely the group will appear together on a record anytime soon.
Back in April, ScHoolboy Q appeared on an episode of The Danny Brown Show, during which he was asked if he saw himself reuniting with his fellow Black Hippy compatriots.
“I’m not making no Black Hippy shit,” he responded. “Hell no. I’ll never do that shit. ”
When Danny Brown pressed, asking if he would consider doing it “for the culture,” Q snapped back: “Fuck the culture. Ain’t no culture. What is the culture? What is rap culture? What is the fucking rap culture?”
“So it’s like I’m tryna figure out this phase before I get to the third phase. And Ab-Soul, he’s working, Jay Rock‘s working. I just don’t see where we’ll ever have time to.”
