well they took the time to release the live version on his main Vevo account and the official video snippets also sound more intense so i think that's a safe assumption
and also a good move
Just saw
If he does that then holy shit this is a new Kanye. I feel like this is something he would never have pulled with Yeezus and Black Skinhead.

The CDQ feels like a demo, like I know kanye can give that more energy. Looking forward to final version

Yup. Production of that album is incredible and holds up a half dozen years later. House of Flying Daggers is the last great Wu song, Sonny's Missing is short and sweet Pete Rock goodness, Black Mozart and the New Wu might be the last truly great RZA tracks (how the mighty have fallen) 10 Bricks is one of the hottest Dilla tracks ever, and Surgical Gloves is standout Alchemist material.
I read hiphop gaf slandering this album a few weeks back and I couldnt even bring myself to comment on that whackness.
Cleanse yourself with some classic west coast cuts.

Aight, will do - thanks for your opinion b
The more I listen to Mortal Man and digest the lyrics, the more brilliant it becomes - what a great way to finish an album
What? If anything his tweets indicate he's happy with All Day as is, the exact opposite.

fuck yes
to roughly quote esh, it's pretty good by what he points out is post 2000's Wu standards, absolutely worth hearing
came to post this too fam
his white girl fanbase (what little he had) is about to plummet. played some of it for folks on my lunch break and this one white chick was like "this is too black...er bleak. same thing i guess."
yes tell me more of your opinions girl
the olds will love it because it "transcends" rap. pops bought it off itunes as soon as he saw George Clinton was on it
haha damn
that last bit about your old man jumping on for clinton made me happy though, you ever play him bop gun & the remix of let me ride in the day?

My thoughts on the Kendrick album that I posted in the Kendrick thread...
Listening to this album, due to the real Funk/Jazz feel of the album, i feel like he basically did what his mom asked him to do on the previous album on the song "Real"...
But look, you take that music business serious, and put out something me and your dad can step to. Shit, you know we from Chicago, you know that's what we do
and this as well, due to the Powerful messages throughout the album and uplifting songs such as "I"
But when you do make it, give back with your words of encouragement, and that's the best way to give back. To your city...
just my thoughts anyways.
mortal man is amazing. This is a really good album. Kendrick has transcended typical hiphop albums with this as this is so much more than your normal hiphop record.

nah i've never heard it but i'm sure he has. im not into PFunk like that despite how hard he tried to put me on.

I mean if Wayne has legal documentation of this he should win most of this. Probably not the initial YM copy right claim..... Its Crazy that they agreed to pay him 10 million per album for the rest of his contract.

to pimp a butterfly so good it got kampsy to post in the other thread
i think that speaks for itself haha

It's that good.
People who never lived with cassette tapes might not get this album. This is one of those albums you can just leave in the tape deck and pick up wherever you left off.
I haven't had a rap boner this hard in a long time. This shit is magical.
This is that second half of The Chronic vibey type stuff. Fine wine.

New Tinashe mixtape brehs. Production from Ryan Hemsworth, Iamsu!, DJ Dahi and more, apparently.
That underwater ethereal production on Something To Feel
Just The Way I Like You is hypnotizing.

I think it's a pretty good sign he'll change it I remember him changing Runaway the one he released on GOOD Friday's didn't have elements of the live version. Then he added the elements (crazy sample chop in beginng the sample of ladies and gentlemen) on the album version.

oh man, finally gotta peep that kendrick. it came out last night while i was rolling in bed trying to sleep before work... if only i had known
Punch looks extra stupid now.
It's kind of awesome to see Kanye cosign Kendrick so openly. When it was Zane Lowe or whoever that asked him about Kendrick initially I wasn't entirely convinced even though he said Kendrick was one of the voices of the future, I think Kanye was caught off guard with that question.
I guess the All Day credit makes a bit more sense now, though I'm hoping it's just whatever the second song is that they mushed together onto the single version.

yea pretty cool to see for sure
Album only leaked like 5 seconds ago, definitely needs at least a week or two before making any kind of real judgement on it. I thought the opener was really musically jarring though, just sounds like a complete mess. I found my enjoyment swaying back and forth the whole time and I ended with a negative overall view of the album but I am determined to give it time before I settle on an opinion.

welp, for what it's worth; tpab ultimately misses the mark as a result of its ambition. seems like it's trying to be three different albums and all things to all people. as a result, it feels extremely messy and inconsistent. the highs are high (mortal man, blacker the berry, hood politics), but the lows are some of the lowest in 2015 thus far (for free, king kunta, institutionalized). could have easily been 11 songs and would be a much better album -- shouldn't take three songs to get me interested in listening. this isn't an album for gkmc fans. this isn't an album for kendrick lamar fans. this is an album for kendrick lamar.

As Far as I'm concerned BTB & How much a dollar cost are the standouts, Hood Politics, Mortal Man & Alright are okay.
I find Mortal Man to be pretty cheesy, even if well done.

There was a NY Times article a few weeks ago about how Kendrick barely made contact with Kanye during the tour, didn't talk to media or the various backstage celebs, etc. Sounds like they got into the studio for Kanye's album, and probably talked a bit, but overall it seems like they crossed paths at the wrong time. If Kendrick was recording GKMC while meeting Kanye I'd imagine they'd do more shit together.
Not to mention Kanye saying "jazz is dead" last year.

Even your lord yeezy is proud of kdot.
Yeah I like Pharrell more than most here but that shit can go. Shame because it seems he put a lot of effort into the raps in particular for that song.

Alright is dope as fuck. Kendrick goes off and the added horns really adds another dimension to the beat; I remember Pharrell playing that beat w/the hook last year at a DJ session.
For me, no.
