any news on a vinyl release?

not that I've seen

been on the steady lookout

 

[E-phonk]

Was at a flylo show today and he played a instrumental/edit version of wesley's theory and damn it was amazing.

Hope it hits the internet one day.

 

[big ander]

There's a bootleg vinyl out but it's probably sourced from the CD and it messes with the track list to fit the sides.

 

[Mr. Doop]

Every time this thread is bumped I think it's news about a vinyl release.

 

[Tawney Bomb]

Every time this thread is bumped I think it's news about a vinyl release.

That's the dream. There's a boot, but the track order is different.

thanks for posting, that was really cool to watch

loved hearing Terrace's skeleton for For Free. that melody line he came up with is just so maniacal. the intervals really remind me of lark's tongue/red-era king crimson. love that track.

The levels in that video are unfortunate, sometimes i can't hear what the hell Ali is saying.

I'm counting down the days man so I can invest in a record player.

what number are you counting down from? ;p

You're waiting for a particular album to invest in vinyl? That's a huge waste. If you can't already see a reason to jump in then it's not worth it. You need a player, amp, speakers, SPACE, it's a pretty expensive endeavor to take on. Also with vinyl now being "cool", distributers are charging pretty much double for records then what they used to be sold for. I'm a vinyl user, and I warned a friend of mine who wanted to jump in because he thought it was cool, spent lots of money and it all collects dust.

[Vicetrailia]

Album is so awesome....I've had it for like a month now and I like it more and more. Its all I listen to.

 

[BishopLamont]

-reads name of album-

Yeah. Nope. Plus SHMG bout to leak and kill kendrake anyway

any day now lol

 

[Gila]

Not a vinyl bump but These Walls (Live on Ellen)

 

[ctothej]

The Ellen performance was sick. I'm guessing the lyrics went over 90% of the audience's head though. They don't usually let you sing about about pussy, prison and revenge sex on daytime TV.

 

[Mashin Haters]

Not a vinyl bump but These Walls (Live on Ellen)

thats pretty cool. Its kind of like a live music video.

 

[Red_Man]

Not sure if anyone saw this, but Kendrick has been wearing a unique "i" hat for all his press the last few months, and finally put out a few for retail today. Only 100 were made, and luckily I was able to get one, they sold out really quick not surprisingly. I've been looking for this hat ever since I saw him first wear it, pretty pumped to finally get it.

This is the hat

 

[Dereck]

Where is that Alright video

 

[Gila]

Bish is 28 today!

 

[SamuelSupreme]

This is still without a doubt the best album of 2015. Im pretty confident it'll remain that way. I still give the album a full listen through when im working out.


Every Nigger is a Star!

Peace and love my fellow Negus'

only like 4 months to go if the GKMC release is anything to go by. It's not all Interscopes fault either. Every pressing plant on the planet is being pushed to capacity on the monthly. Delays in the 4-6 months. The vinyl resurgence is killing vinyl.

 

[Red_Man]

Any news of him going on a tour any time soon? I know he's doing festivals, but I really need to see him do a solo show

The Blacker the Berry - HYPOCRITE

 

[fader]

The Blacker the Berry - HYPOCRITE

it's just as bad for white on white crime, so I guess Adele need to make a Whiter the Berry song then.

 

[Juicy Bob]

Still listening to the album, still loving it.

Did dude just drop a Sonic 3 sample in there? Awesome.

 

[RP912]

Still waiting on that Alright video Kenny...wtf Kenny?

The Blacker the Berry - HYPOCRITE

Care to elaborate why you randomly posted this?

 

[Not]

Bish is 28 today!

Happy birthday K.

 

[anderyoung]

Care to elaborate why you randomly posted this?

The context of blacker the berry is kendricks struggle with the more exposed recent events of white on black crime and police brutality with the discontent that is brewing within the community. Yet he calls his people hypocrites when black on black far exceeds white on black crime. He calls upon his people to take a closer look and fix the problems within first. At least that was my take on the song.

Seeing raw data for the first time was pretty shocking for me.

 

[Jo Shishido's Cheeks]

Still waiting on that Alright video Kenny...wtf Kenny?

He saw that the superior Alright already dropped so he doesn't need to bother anymore...

 

[CountBlack]

Alright - Kendrick Lamar

Possible video of the year already tbh

 

[Battersea Power Station]

[Bacon]

Kenny hovering around is pretty goofy looking but other than that great video.

You hate my people, your plan is to terminate my culture
You're fuckin' evil I want you to recognize that I'm a proud monkey
You vandalize my perception but can't take style from me
And this is more than confession
I mean I might press the button just so you know my discretion
I'm guardin' my feelings, I know that you feel it
You sabotage my community, makin' a killin'
You made me a killer, emancipation of a real nigga

Once I finish this, witnesses will convey just what I mean
I mean, it's evident that I'm irrelevant to society
That's what you're telling me, penitentiary would only hire me
Curse me till I'm dead
Church me with your fake prophesizing that I'mma be just another slave in my head
Institutionalized manipulation and lies
Reciprocation of freedom only live in your eyes
You hate me don't you?
I know you hate me just as much as you hate yourself
Jealous of my wisdom and cards I dealt
Watchin' me as I pull up, fill up my tank, then peel out
Muscle cars like pull ups, show you what these big wheels 'bout, ah
Black and successful, this black man meant to be special
Katzkins on my radar, bitch, how can I help you?
How can I tell you I'm making a killin'?
You made me a killer, emancipation of a real nigga

Did you actually listen to the lyrics?

EDIT; Came of wrong. I agree with the point about hypocrisy but personally believe the song talks about institutional racism and hate aswell. Thats why he starts the verses with "Im the biggest hypocrite"

 

[phanphare]

Did you actually listen to the lyrics?

the last verse is probably what he's referring to

 

[Idba]

the last verse is probably what he's referring to

Fair point.

Personally I think the song talks about institutional racism and hate aswell as the hypocrisy within the african-american community.

yep, that's how I see it as well

 

[breakfuss]

Love the video, man, especially with the cops holding the car up at the very beginning. And goddamn at that unreleased track. He needs to leak the stuff that didn't make the album!

 

[Vicetrailia]

About that Blacker the Berry line...just watch: https://youtu.be/BwXlimryKJM?t=2m35s

 

[Vicetrailia]

Edit: oops dbl post.

 

[PhoenixDark]

I still think Kendrick killed someone. Blacker The Berry is just one in a long list of songs where he continually references being a murderer. He'd never outright admit it, but that's the impression I get. Especially in light of how emotional he gets when discussing Blacker The Berry, and how serious he is about religion/the baptism referenced in Sing About Me I'm Dying Of Thirst.
