The only dudes that turn a soul sample into a experience.

This would be dope. Put druggies 3 on there too.

Rashad had an album last year.

You love makonnen tho.

What? The album reviewed well and sold better than expected.

I legitimately thing i can out manage these fools.

I'm saying that beyond Oxymoron and These Dayz...dude cooked up something special. The most logical thing to do is let dude drop after Rock. Fuck it...go No Limit and flood the streets with work. I don't understand why this group still getting treated like weed carriers and by the way HERE'S KENDRICK LAMAR. It's like if Baby focused hard on Juvenile and gave bootleggers BG's album.

 

[injurai]

naw


the livelihood of TDE has little to do with Jay Rock. It's 1) Kendrick, 2) Q , nobody cares what the rest of those dudes do forreal.

Accurate.

 

[overcast]

so?

I was implying your opinion is disregarded because of that, it's a joke though 😘

Also RP. I'm not sure they're even doing the "look at Kendrick" part that well lmao. Dude hasn't even toured. I agree work should be coming out of course.

 

[RP912]

So yall mean to tell me that Kendrick dropped a "critically acclaimed" album this year....and no fucking tour to go with the success?

 

[IrishNinja]

nah, talent wise they're better too

kdot, q, rock, isiah, soul
v
cam'ron, santana, jones, freaky

...nah, and that's even with soul dragging them down

so?

he's saying you prolly ride for julez

 

[DominoKid]

kendrick still aint even playing a lot of the album live last i heard. either he hasnt nailed the arrangements down or he just accepted people come to hear the bangers and not the bullshit.

I don't think there are any possible arrangements you can have to make tracks like How Much A Dollar Cost and Momma sound hot live, and I say that as a fan of those tracks and the CD.

Alright, King Kunta, i, maybe Hood Politics and Wesley's Theory are the only tracks that work in a concert setting.

Other than those? Just keep playing that MAAD City man

 

[IrishNinja]

how many hip hop shows have ya'll really been to

not every track is turnt up

 

[BlackJace]

Was at Q's show a year and a half ago, constant bangers

 

[Tokubetsu]

Rashad album is gonna be so fire brehs pls believe me.

GAF-Hop 2016 wave gonna be getting pegged to that new isaiah rashad. 90059 still won't be out.

I get the impression he's trying to secure a decent band to take on the road. Can't take the people who did the album since they're touring their own music.

From what I've seen Alright, I and King Kunta are getting crowds hype as fuck. Hood Politics works without a band too. Band wise I can see These Walls, Wesley's Theory, Complexion, and You Ain't Gotta Live working live too. I don't think that's a problem. Not every live song is turn up at most hour+ long concerts...

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Yeah now as I listen to the album again, These Walls is wavy as shit.

That could work live

 

[BlackJace]

King Kunta would definitely work, probably Blacker The Berry too.

i know way more white ppl that like this album than black ppl.

At this point i just home he comes back soon with an album of hard shit. Like a surprise drop.

Before TPAB everyone wanted a GKMC 2, or a control verse Kendrick album. But TPAB had a strong jazz influence that toned it down. I always felt that Kendrick was at his best when he mixed bangers with his own style of commentary. Maybe the next album will bring that fire back... or maybe he'll sidestep us and evolve like a pokemon yet again

 

[BlackJace]

TPAB seems like it was the album Kendrick really wanted to make. Not that he isn't (or shouldn't be) proud of his previous work, but I really feel like he and his people knew GKMC was what he needed to get his "foot in the door" so to speak, and TPAB was a more focused project.

I don't mind, nor do I worry what direction he takes next, he's already proven he has the reach.

at this point i just hope kodt drops something interesting again instead of something that predictable.

i also like how this post could've been about conway

*edit damn tokus kinda beat me here

yeah, also this - he's yet to disappoint, not many out there right now can say that for me

 

[Fjordson]

My feelings on TPAB are pretty similar to Domino's, but I do think a tour with the right band would work for Kendrick. Could be dope for his fans.

 

[Sou Da]

Goddamn I can't even handle this right now.

Please, dashiki sales went up 870% in Connecticut the week TPAB went on sale.

[Discotheque]

i's interlude followed by mortal man is prolly one of the best rap songs I've heard in years tbh

strong messages in there whether you agree with them or not. outside of a few tracks though I find the album intolerable

But I also see how appreciated it will probably be years from now.

 

[Psychological Intellect]

The TDE shit is gonna look super bad if it comes out that Kendrick's deal was garbage. It's kind of one of those things that can be super low key and nobody would ever notice or question.

Like just imagine Top owns all the masters and turns into a mogul 5 years from now after robbing Kendrick, pushing a new label consisting of Trinidad Jame$, Machine Gun Kelly, Mistah FAB and Jay Rock.

Would be a tragedy if Kendrick was getting robbed by these fucking clowns.

At the same time, he should be planning his own empire like Drake and Cole. Doesn't seem interested in that tho.



Also, TPAB is still AOTY, eeeeaaaasily. Fucking great album. His best work so far.

Mortal Man and How much a Dollar Cost are classics, Momma too.


TPAB is like, Kendricks, Rubber Soul or Revolver. Really excited in whatever direction he goes next.

Agreed. Though there are a few other spots I'm into (like I think Alright is a really dope track).

 

[MuddyDonut]

Album is excellent. Dont let the BangerBros bring you down.

Isn't even the best album outta that state, Summertime 06' reigns

 

[MuddyDonut]

Yeah man Vince Staples is just so goo-zzzzz
His voice is grating on top of that.
A decent album for sure, but not topping TPAB in any universe.

 

[ARK322]

An album so good, they almost entirely forgot to add anything beyond drums and bass to the beats. A true West Coast classic.

Been out the country. Still am actually. Just heard the jay rock single.

That hook. Holy shit.

That release.

Bruh

Here's a cool fewch remix. Not ds2 tho https://m.soundcloud.com/producedbyreup/future-shit-ds2-inspired-remix


And DS2 my AOTY easily.

 

[MuddyDonut]

That Jay Rock hook, I read all the signs here and didnt expect that, at all. That was the Son of ODB type shit.

C'mon now Staples is dope.

At least he's not stuck on some TDE type label, hope his career has huge highs planned.
