Things are not good when the "No Makeup" of the album is the single.

I'd be really happy if I could be assured that this was the "real"/"no make up" of LP3.

Nah fam, you can't compare that piece of shit to a light-hearted anthem like this one.

1. That one had a cringeworthy hook.
2. The beat was fucking awful. The drums, the piano, the effects. All completely amateur.
3. The lyrics... lmao

I know she 'bout to ask me how she look
I tell her beautiful, and how long it took
For you to put it on, it was early in the morn'
She resembled a model out of a Mac book

Nothing from i reaches that level of cringe.

I mean, people were calling him out for the "Eminem flow" right? Maybe he got bit by the "meh single, great album" curse.

I would too, Moris. I really hope that this is just a one-off and I can skip it without sacrificing some larger narrative in the album. You guys should see what Pickles wrote about it, breh is devastated lmao. Honestly I hope none of the album comes close to this sonically. You tried to bump that shit in the whip, eh Courage?

how'd that sonic experiment work out for you.

Goddamn, Kendrick LP3 about to be the end of GAF-Hop for sure. Look at this. Please don't drop in 2014, lets get the whole GAF-Hop crew for this one. Lmao.

People clown Tyga but he's managed to carve out a lane for himself that no one else has really been able to follow/do something similar. Migos probably being the only other artist/group to do so. Tyga laughing to the bank creating music that makes Count Blackule want to cut himself.

Lowkey dig a bunch of Tyga songs.


Switch lanes still a jam.

Brehs this interview is scaring the fuck out of me. Freestyling for raw emotion? Not listening to anything out right now? Corny description of "connecting" to describe something that is admittedly just a superficial bop at best?

Especially the "not listening to anything out now?" You gotta be a real fucking dumbass if you think your music will go downhill because you're gonna get "influenced." It should be used as a tool to better yourself and not viewed as liability. That's why Yeezus is such an amazing producer. He uptakes influences from so many sources and melds into his own distinct product. But to completely isolate yourself from every piece of music that's innovating right now just so you're not "influenced" and let fucking Dre work at the lab and maybe pop in for a freestyle or two?

Nah fam, I can accept an "i" or two, but anything uninspired won't do, especially after a classic like GKMC.

I gave it a closer listen, and yeah, it's not good. My feelings have been more or less covered (a poorly chopped sample he shouldn't be rapping over, lack of melody or a decent hook, awkward, sloppy transitions, etc) but overall I just find it grating. The chorus gets old fast.

Even divorced from the expectations I have for him and the build up to the release of this track, it's just bad.

Oh well. It's disappointing but I'm not about to get all chicken little about it. Whatever.

This ya sis Royalan just coming through to let you all know that Mariah Carey is the only chick to be vetted by Bone Thugs N Harmony.

The only chick to hop on a track with them and not only pen her own bars, but sing them as fast as they were rapping.

We simply cannot let Mariah fall to the likes of Beyoncé.

Connecting is in relation to the album, not the track.

I see. Read my edited post for more thoughts though. The connecting part was the least of my worries, because he already tried to convey it with that corny "Crips and bloods are finally in peace" cover art.

- no features

- isnt interested in keeping up sonically (btw Nas always says things like "im not listening to whats out there". look how that worked out for him)

- gassed up thinking he can pull off a freestyled Can I Live style track

Just don't sweat it for now. Words are words. I mean if the album is disappointing we'll come back to this.

Edit: Lmao. Esch is literally fanning the flame of your guys doubts.

Keeping my fingers crossed for an album cover where Kendrick is dressed as Jesus in the middle and the Crips and Bloods are holding hands together in peace and harmony

Edit: Kendrick would be dressed like Black Jesus
Edit edit: On the back cover, Kendrick is going to have a pair of Beats on and Dr. Dre is going to be in the background looking at an iPad
One more edit: I hope that each song is named after a letter, so in the end, all of the songs spell out "Kendrick Lamar"
I promise this is the last edit: The space between "Kendrick" and "Lamar" is a Pause 4 Porno Remix with a throwaway beat that Dr. Dre originally made for 50 Cent
 
Tbh a lot of the reason I enjoy the Kendrick single is the sample it brings me back when my parents use to bump a lot of their oldies when I was younger.

Nah I hope he does something bold, like take his shirt off and sit on tires over a white background

Or put a baby's face there, that'd be ill

i bet this isnt far from the truth.
 
Tears to my eyes to see esch rightly see kendrick as a false king

I hope he gets some detox beats for his album, I'm sure Dre has plenty of Fire in the vault
 
I wonder if this beat was originally made with Q in mind. Reminds me of Hell Of a Night in terms of being an obvious crowd* pleaser.

*crowd as in "not GAF-Hop/Coli/rap fans"

Doubt it, Q doesn't have that dadrap appeal. At least K.Dot is compared to White Rapper Eminem.

Nah fam. Just because I'm having a wum doesn't mean I think ab soul and q aren't wack. Kendrick still released the best rap album of the decade so far easily.
