Updates:

I wanted to give a HUGE shout-out to algorerhythm for the incredible color-coded spreadsheet they made me it's so comprehensive and considerate. It included a chronological timeline and links of all the upcoming planned features, unreleased, missed content, and so much more; even citing when something was longer in length and would take more time filming wise. Thank you so much it is incredibly helpful🥹🙌🏼🫶🏻🖤

Livestreams

• When I did the first livestream and it went well, I went ahead and said we could do two upcoming scheduled drops via livestream (Pop Out Show and I'm What The Culture Feeling Pt. 2). What I didn't know was that the playback of the livestream would be immediately available after the stream. On one hand that is great for you all who couldn't join because you get almost immediate access and I don't have to upload a long video, but on the other hand it also means that it isn't dropping on the day I planned. As I mentioned in my last update 🪩All-Access Members Update -07/06/2025🪩 I'm really trying to get ahead with content creation so I don't miss drops when I go out of town like I am in a few weeks. Additionally, so I can hopefully add in more content in the future like deeper dives or the Taylor for Kenfolk series I would love to do. That said, I'm hoping you will be okay with me recognizing those as the scheduled drops in the upcoming schedule even though you will have access to them prior to when originally schedule so I can stick to the already planned schedule.

GNX

During the pop out livestream a couple in the chat brought up that I should do the GNX reaction via livestream. I have some reservations about doing it that way which I'm going to include below. However, I'm open to trying if the majority of you would prefer that set up.🙌🏼 If there is a lot of support in the comments I will set up a poll and let the poll be the final call :)

• As you can tell in the current livestreams I get interrupted a lot. When I do albums it sometimes takes me most of the day to get it filmed. In my normal videos I cut out the longer interruptions or if I know it will be a longer break like taking Legend outside I will stop filming and start a new video when I'm back. The chat mentioned that GNX was a bit different (more on that in the next bullet) so maybe it shouldn't take quite as long, but I still think it will be longer than you would probably expect lol.

• As I've mentioned from the beginning I've worried about doing reactions via livestream and the quality of my analysis decreasing because of my ADHD i.e. not being able to hyper-focus on the music, because I'm splitting focus with the chat itself, monitoring the livestream quality and tech setup, and just the general anxiety of "I am live" lol. The chat mentioned that GNX is different that the previous albums and the lyrics should be easier to breakdown in comparison to previous albums, so maybe it won't be an issue but I just want to be honest about the potential.

• The last thing doesn't really impact you all on Patreon, but I just figured I would mention that I'm also a little worried about how an edited version of the livestream will compare quality wise to my previous content for YouTube.

Tyler, the Creator

• I'm going to make a Tyler, the Creator community chat that you can join sometime this week (I'll let you know when it do it in the All-Access Members Chat) if you want to weigh in on how I approach that upcoming journey. PSA if you haven't listened to the voice memo I included in the 🪩All-Access Members Update -07/06/2025🪩 I highly recommend you listen to that as it gives some context about how that journey is going to deviate a bit from how I approached the Kendrick journey.

Feedback requests:

1. Do you want GNX via livestream or keep it in the same format as the previous albums?

2. Is there anything in addition you would like added to the GNX "era" this is what I have planned (Big shout-out to Eric Napier for the recs and randomdudeoninternet606 for sending me this timeline with links I really appreciate it!) :

GNX [Album Reaction Video]

• The Heart Pt. 4 re-listen

• GNX Teaser Video Announcement

• Album

GNX [MVs]

• Squabble Up

• Luther

GNX [Interviews + Performances]

• 09/08/2024: Kendrick Superbowl Announcement Video

• 01/23/2025 - Announcing SZA will join him at the Superbowl

• 02/06/2025 - Apple Music Interview before the Superbowl

• 02/07/2025 - Kendrick and Timothee Chalamet Interview Part 1

• 02/08/2025 - Kendrick and Timothee Chalamet Interview Part 2

• 04/18/2025 - Gatorade Commercial (narrated by Kendrick)

• 05/25/2025 - Trolling Drake in another Gatorade thing

P.S. Prior to the video, I’m going to read SZA's interview with Kendrick for Harper's Bazaar Magazine.

3. My original plan was to re-watch the Super Bowl performance after I finished my Kendrick journey, but since the GNX [Interviews + Performances] video, has so much related content, would you all rather I re-watch it in that video?

4. This is a bit random, but does anyone have any ideas on a potential name that is different than "All-Access Members" for the paid Patreon members? This may seem silly, but I don't really like to use the wording free or paid members, so that is why I've been using All-Access Members. However, it can be confusing for people when I say things like I'm making a video accessible for "All Members" meaning the free/nonpaying Patreon members. It might be easier if paid members had a different name that didn't include "All."

As always, thank you for all your support, and I hope you have a great night or day wherever you are :) - Vambie
