kendrick back

sounds like cee-lo green

not impressed

Erykah Badu/10

She done whipped another rapper smh

 

[Rasan]

I just listened to it again and yikes. I'm trying to figure out how Kendrick went from making that dope song with FlyLo, that had me going "hmm maybe he's progressing past GKMC" then... well to that. I was waiting for a Carlos Santana guitar solo for a minute there. Like literally that song sounded like one of those mash-ups that half a dozen artists do at the Grammys right before the commercials or something.

song is gay. lol its gonna be on heavy rotation for months tho. i couldnt even listen to it all. makes you wonder what his album is gonna sound like. i also read there will be no features.

wtf is happening to TDE lol

 

[Nuttkase]

They want that Macklemore money, damn AB lol. The raps on that were actually kinda on point, everything else about it not so much.

 

[illuminati_guy]

well its better than kendricks single

rapping over a country song is kinda cool, not as cool as when ghostface rapped over delfonics songs


off topic but nico (from warhol and velvet underground fame) version of these days is better than that country one

 

[SteadyMobbin]

wtf is happening to TDE lol

 

[gigglingmonkey]

Has Jay Rock released anything recently? TDE has been disappointing thus far.

 

[illuminati_guy]

he left strange music

 

[S.L.A.B]

I dont think it was that bad not that it is anything that I would listen. But I heard other songs on this forum that are way more terrible.

 

[illuminati_guy]

looks like they're gonna sign kembe x next

 

[Nuttkase]

Ehhhh Kembe should stick to doing his own thing. I might be saying this because most of the TDE stuff coming out has been mediocre to straight trash but I don't know, it would be a good look for sure but I don't see them giving him much of a push.

That track they tweeted asking the question if he's TDE material is dope though. I've been checking for his stuff ever since I believe it was @Ry posted some songs by him.

 

[illuminati_guy]

finally something good from tde

 

[waldiejr]

 

[infinity]

yes

 

[infinity]

so much for 6 albums

 

[waldiejr]

kendrick season is here

 

[illuminati_guy]

kendricks album leaked if someone is interested To Pimp a Butterfly by Kendrick Lamar_EXP.zip

 

[TrEmEnDo InDo]

Haven't heard it yet, but I'm nervous to. GKMC is a hard act to follow.

King Kunta is jamming though.

 

[waldiejr]

wesleys theory, these walls, hood politics & alright are my favorites

 

[Fruitvale_Mac]

To Pimp A Butterfly is one of the dopest albums I've heard in years. It's everything that GKMC was not imo, namely entertaining and challenging. I had very low expectations for this album after hearing "I"... Frankly I'm a little shocked at what he managed to do with TPaB. At the very least it deserves to be listened to in full at least once.
