It's his 3rd album
OP you done started sumthin

 

[lastflowers]

Sounds like the the theme is the corruption of innocence. In freestyles and his most recent song TBTB he has spoken about drugs and guns destroying his city and tempting his homies. Violence is imported and then his people start killing each other. The pimp doesn't even have to pimp - the tricks trick themselves.

yeeeeeeeeeep

 

[Dying Of Thirst]

whoop whoop

[CountBlack]

It's his 3rd album
OP you done started sumthin

If I said it was his 3rd album, some posters would've been saying "Wait, isn't it only his 2nd album?"

If I said it was his 4th album, more posters would've been saying "OD is more like an EP tho" etc etc

whatevs tho

Can I live breh?

 

[overcast]

This is his 4th album actually Count.

 

[GWX]

People laugh at the college course thing, but it happened already (even if he's talking about the title rather than his album per se)!

Loving the details from that RS interview. This gon be guuuuuuud.

 

[impact]

This is his 4th album actually Count.

confused as fuck at this title

anyway I hope this tops Section.80 (GKMC was close but no cigar)

 

[CountBlack]

This is his 4th album actually Count.

Does Training Day count?


6th album confirmed.


Also, Pete Rock song will be featured with Anna The Wise & George Clinton

[Emperor Bohe]

I consider Section.80 to be his 1st album and everything prior to be a mixtape, am I wrong to do that?

This is pretty much the general consensus. It's what I go by at least.

 

[studyguy]

First studio release.
Honestly it doesn't matter all that much. It's another album in the end all the same.

 

[Mammoth Jones]

Extremely excited for this album. Day one purchase for me.

 

[BeatResetsTheWorld]

No hol' up?

With that cringe worthy shit about nappy hair and asparagus and whatever the fuck he's talking about?

 

[HiiiLife]

Is This gonna be a sophomore slump.

Will kendrick suffer from not being able to outdo his (major label) debut?

I'm scared

Ask Yourself.. has Kenny ever let us down?

 

[Ikuu]

Is This gonna be a sophomore slump.

Not his second album.

 

[HiiiLife]

Ask Yourself.. has Kenny ever let us down?

I asked myself that same question, then i listened to "i" for the first time.

Not his second album.

Major label bruh bruh. I consider S80 separate tbh.

 

[CountBlack]

I asked myself that same question, then i listened to "i" for the first time.

Extended version with that verse from SNL is dope tho

Not his second album.

y'all not gonna stop with this huh

 

[big ander]

I like the title better the more it sits with me.

but let's not talk about that. I want to stay on this very interesting and not at all meaningless discussion of whether this is kenny's 2nd, 3rd, or 88th album

 

[leakey]

That album art is dope. I'm hopeful after The Blacker the Berry, but will reserve judgement until the album drops. The title takes some getting used to for sure.

 

[Yaphett Kotto]

Not his second album.

lol, it never ends.

Don't think we're getting anything less of GKMC, OD, or Section 80, tbh. All of his LPs/EPs/albums give me different reasons to listen to them.

I still jump between Section 80 and GKMC as being his best album.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

Is T-Swift gonna cosign this tho

Tswift gonna be on the album. 😉

 

[RBK]

I still jump between Section 80 and GKMC as being his best album.

Bolded for me.

 

[Frankenstrat]

Ready for the

 

[Mayyhem]

I really hope that "i" garbage wont be on it and nothing similar to it

 

[Yaphett Kotto]

I really hope that "i" garbage wont be on it and nothing similar to it

Kinda hope for the same. Hopefully it was a one off.

 

[GWX]

C'mon guys, the RS feature pretty much says that won't happen.

Although I love myself i.

 

[Eos]

"i" is gonna stay since he said he had a counter song called "u" on the album also

 

[Deleted member 309291]

OHHHH didn't know about this but my body is ready

 

[RPS37]

I'm also waiting for that cole collabo.
This might be the first album I buy since Yeezus.
And the first album I buy and actually listen to more than once since Smokeout Conversations (does anyone else even know what that is?).

 

[Extollere]

Cautiously optimistic! GKMC is one of my favorite hip-hop albums in a long time. I love it. This... sounds like it may be a bit of a departure. I'm okay with that, but classics are hard to top... We'll see.

 

[Booshka]

I'm pumped. Please don't disappoint, love the album cover, neutral on the title.

 

[CountBlack]

Rolling Stones interview was really good. I suggest y'all read it.

 

[Sutton Dagger]

What was that song on the Beats ad? Is that being commercially released?

 

[XBP]

What was that song on the Beats ad? Is that being commercially released?

I hope so. That beat was fire.

 

[Acorn]

Nas too.

Spoiler

If anyone cares anymore

Still waiting on Lost Tapes volume 2

 

[Acorn]

Tswift gonna be on the album. 😉

Really? Shit must've cost a lot for a guest spot

 

[CountBlack]

What was that song on the Beats ad? Is that being commercially released?

You know we aint ever gonna get to hear that ish

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

People expecting 808s, programmed drums and "turn up" music are going to be disappointed. He's been mainly working with Terrace Martin (instrumentalist responsible for much of Section80 and the live stuff on GKMC) , Robert Glasper (jazz musician), and Sounwave (Bitch Don't Kill My Vibe). By all accounts the drums are live and dirty, and The Blacker The Berry seems to be what to expect. Bombastic drums on the more aggressive tracks, mixed with jazz and funk sounds.

George Clinton is on the album, Prince and/or Stevie Wonder might be on the album, and Pete Rock is on there too.

Fuck yes.


This is what mainstream hip hop could use tbh.

 

[Yaphett Kotto]

A jazz influenced album was expected honestly especially after he performed that Untitled song on The Colbert Report. I believe he even said so in an interview or talked about the direction his next album will be going in with someone.

But yea, expect less tracks like Maad City or Michael Jordan and more of tracks like Kush & Corinthians or Rigamortus as far as instrumentals go.

 

[Servbot24]

Not his second album.

knock it off

 

[PhoenixDark]

Terrace Martin has said a lot of the low end percussion work of the album is heavily influenced by Midnight Marauders. So it's definitely going to knock in the whip.

 

[spindashing]

You know we aint ever gonna get to hear that ish

A damn shame...

 

[JohnDoe]

Terrace Martin has said a lot of the low end percussion work of the album is heavily influenced by Midnight Marauders. So it's definitely going to knock in the whip.

If he has a joint like Electric Relaxation on it... lawd
Everything about that track is heavenly.

Hope that's true. S.80 > GKMC.

 

[overcast]

Section 80 does have Kendrick's worst song. No Makeup is fucking awful.
