Definitely will need a CDQ but I fux with it, especially the breakdown. Section 80 jazz vibes, Kendrick rapping his ass off...yes please.

Sounds like he's taking quite a "fuck the radio single" approach. That song is not going to be premiered on many radio stations tomorrow or added to rotation.

Yep. This isn't a single, it's a statement.

Can't believe how much better dude has gotten at performing live too. Going on tour with Kanye definitely played its part.

Definitely sounds like Bilal had a hand in producing that. That's some straight up Soulquarians shit.

My biggest problem with i was that it just doesn't sound loose, and I couldn't help but wonder why he didn't call up Questlove. And now he drops this perfectly loose semi neo-soul track.

It's clear Kendrick is going all the way left. I remember reading he didn't want 808s and thinking yea right but now...that's what we might get brehs. Shit is dope.

I like that new Kendrick song. It kinda still has that heavy-handed naivete I've never liked about his conscious songs but it could be worse. Tentative thumbs up.

Amazing series of posts. First you start out with the opinion, then the praise starts pouring in and the posts get more and more bitter. First indifference, then a suggestion of band camp shit that's supposedly better, then angst, then a subtle 'I prefer the _____ (piece of his work with less exposure potential)'

Amazing.

was gonna make a first impressions post but I'm tired so that God Complex is super dope. Production is nothing fancy, but those Toxic and Men In Black samples do it for me.

potentially top 10 material.

No angst, just humor. I relistened to it a couple of times after the video was posted and disliked it more though

For me it is, absolutely. Had a lot of fun drives with that album. He has released some dope tracks separate from it this year too.

new kendrick is good.
new kacy hill song is bland as hell, bad watered down version of Glasser or Blue Hawaii.
I watched an ep of snl two weeks late cause I'm a boring shit and thought nicki was fantastic so I'm onto pinkprint now. shit starts off slow but Get On Your Knees and Feeling Myself are cool so far

anyone gonna listen to Nobody in full? title track def sounds amateur but that seems like it's become Keef's appeal this year, to people who've stuck with him.

Fair enough lol. What's to dislike though? Its pretty similar to his s.80 stuff in rapping execution. I can't really comment on the production though, need CDQ.

Tbh, I think Kendrick sounds better as an album artist than a one off. His best strength is how he ties songs together on an LP, kind of an underrated talent in artists if you ask me

man me and my brother used to laugh so much at Consequence rhyming the same word over and over and over. I still fux with his verse on Gone tho, whereas my brother still hates it.

Consequence's work with Tribe is fantastic, and his contributions to TCD and LR are great too it's just his solo stuff is unbearable for the most part and then he sort of progressively became a dick and bitter that he didn't pop off.

Just listened to the Kendrick track.

This is a thousand fucking times better than "i." Like Domino said above, you can feel the energy in that song. The progression, everything. I hate doing this because it feels like it comes off too picky (but I'm a picky listener) but the first verse and the song started off pretty whack. And then it starts picking up momentum and his verse starts heating up, and he is KILLING it. Maybe it's just the performance, but TBH I felt that song, the emotion was conveyed so well.

Now, I can see that fitting in with "i" on an album pretty well, actually. Now I'm actually intrigued how he'll go out sequencing this and what will fill the holes. I'm a firm believe that songs can get better when they're placed next to the right songs, so maybe "i" is better in context, too. I like that this gave a better insight into what the album might be about and gives it a bit more direction.

Tribe were good, but they really weren't great until Kanye introduced them to Consequence. I didn't even think jazz rap could work until then.
