In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
Unreal
It's funny seeing all of the 19 year old white girls have no idea what the lyrics are.
Blacker The Berry is iconic.
I just don't get this Kendrick fella at all. Not for me. This year's headliners apart from Macca have been fecking dreadful. Just not my thing. Billie E was incredibly boring and this Kendrick guy I would be looking my money back. Not my sort of music at all.
There’s like 100 other stages, I’m sure you’d find something you’d like.
Kendrick is so damn good.
What a performer, on top of being a top five of all time level rapper. He's unbelievable.
Tbf, GKMC came out in 2012. There's no way they're his 'day ones'.
I listen to Bitch I’m In The Club on the reg.
Admittedly Hip Hop is not my thing at all but this guy at least puts on a show. The theatre he creates with all these dancers is a spectacle in itself. I will give him that.
However sadly it's still just a guy rapping and using the f word and N word a lot ultimately.
I'm sure people are loving it....it's just not my bag.

Hope he does Mr Morale and Savior.
Old school rappin' when it flowed and musically vibed. 
Miss those days.
Miss those days.Obviously music is subjective and that’s fine if it’s not your thing but “just a guy rapping” is basically dismissing the entire thing. If you don’t like rap that’s fine but there’s lyrics and content in that rapping. It’s just a style of delivery.
I don't see any real difference from Jay Z, Kanye and this guy. It all sounds the same to me.
Like I said I'm sure people are really into it. This music just doesn't speak to me. I didn't get Stormzy either.
Cool thanks for sharing.
Yeah if you’re not into the genre why would you? There’s big differences between those three.
Thought I'd give it a go as not really into any of the other headliners tonight either.
Enjoyed the stage arrangements and spectacle at least. Been worth it for that alone.
Can't say I will ever be converted into a hip hop fan though. Give me guitars any day of the week.
Glad you're all enjoying it though. That's the great thing about music.
Yeah if you’re not into it fair enough, each to their own and all that but there is a difference, he’s a groundbreaker of the genre, like when NWA, Wu Tang, Eminem etc etc broke onto the scene. This man’s a revolution.
A good rapper uses his voice as a percussive instrument. Each end rhyme, each inner rhyme and each near rhyme can be made to hit like a different beat on the drum kit if they have enough skill. But with the added the complexity of a sung note. Kendrick is amongst the best of all time at it.
You have to tune your ear differently to hear those depths. But it's not hard if you're willing to be open to it. There's a lot more to rapping than simply talking in rhyme.
Jay-Z (after about 2001), Kanye and Stormzy are nowhere near Kendrick in terms of the musicality of their flow. And none of them are in the same stratosphere when it comes to lyricism.

I can see why you've given it a go - Is there even a guitar in sight on the Glastonbury closing sets on the BBC? Kendrick, Pet Shop Boys, Charli XCX and Bicep 
Mad closing line up for me, I'd hate(but not really) to be there knowing I'd be missing 3 of them. Madness.

Looking forward to watching Kendrick on the iPlayer tomorrow, sounds like he’s put on a show.
It's live on iPlayer right now.
I’m switching between the two. Kendrick comes in with Humble and PSB respond with It’s a Sin. What a fight this is.
Just amazing watching someone so young be so accomplished on stage. Makes me feel like a massive underachiever.
Watching stuff with the wife at the moment, I’ll watch it on the iPad whilst wfh tomorrow.
Cheers though.
Had to flick over for Always on my mind.
Kendrick going all in with the crowns and blood!
Kendrick...That was mad.
Boom.
Powerful finish to an incredible performance.
Kendrick is simply sensational.
Touch of the Morgana Robinson about her.
Glasto is definitely heading away from rock acts/bands etc. all headliners were solo artists. It’s a shame really because there is space for everything but Eaves is catering more and more towards middle class gen z folk and unfortunately a lot of that generation wouldn’t know what a guitar was if you smashed it over their head.
Kendrick Lamar was fantastic. Incredible performance.
Jack White secret or not so secret set at 6.15pm on Park was incredible.
I didn't hate Kendrick Lamar either. It was enjoyable but I just would have preferred it to be Muse, Radiohead, Monkeys, Foos or anyone like that personally.
Feel like pure shit, just want muse 2004 back
That's like saying you don't see any real difference between the Coldplay, Muse and arctic monkeys.
I am all for different tastes but people are so different it's really baffling. For example I think think they are the best thing since sliced bread.
