Sweet. King Kendrick will be Pimping my Spotify on the 23rd.

 

[Gila]

I kind of want this album to be what his mom wanted at the end of "real" but at the same time I hope he doesn't go all good/positive. If the blacker the berry is a snip of what it's like, then kdot is gonna do good. Fucking stoked

[overcast]

I believe there hasn't been any confirmations on whether there are no features or they just haven't been shown.

 

[HiiiLife]

Hood Politics...I wanna hear dat.

 

[BkMogul]

I approve

And the album cover is just...different. I like the uniqueness of it. Still bumping "Sing about Me".

 

[SamVimes]

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

The hook is straight up terrible but i liked the verses.

 

[HiiiLife]

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

Agreed. Section 80s "Real" to me.

 

[CountBlack]

I liked Real tbh

 

[spindashing]

Oh, so I is on the album, huh? Other than that, I want to see some production credits and features. Hungry as fuck.

 

[RBK]

I liked Real tbh

 

[CountBlack]

Just keepin it real fam

 

[Jigolo]

swimming pools is just as awful

 

[JustenP88]

How long until that album cover makes an appearance on Fox News?

 

[RBK]

swimming pools is just as awful

Nah, it's a good song.

It's just one the radio overplayed.

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

I just got done listening to Section.80. I'm fuckin ready fam.

 

[Angelus Errare]

And every college kid the nation over used to drink themselves into a stupor.

how is mainstream America supposed to relate to this type of tracklist?

Fox News gonna flip their shit

i thought Kendrick was one of the good ones!

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.

i want more boom bap, fuck 808s i agree

 

[Overlee]

A bit dissapointed that "I" made the album

Can somebody explain to me the internet hate for "I"?

It samples an awesome Isley Brothers track and is trying to inspire a lot of people out there with little hope. More musicians should be doing that sort of thing.

 

[joelseph]

Mr. Wonderful is going to crush it. RIP Kendrick.

Yeah I don't get it either. It's nothing earth shattering but it's a decent poppy track

This...

The song is dope and has crossover appeal. People treating the song like lil Wayne belch on it.

 

[Dug]

If the track list is real I went from 3:51 to 5:36. https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/untitled/id974187289

It's turrible. This'll be a 15 track album for me.

 

[brightsons]

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

Jay Rock ft. Chantal & Kendrick Lamar - Pay for It
It's the single for Jay Rock's second album.

huh? looks like a typical tracklist to me

He did perform an extended version of it on SNL(?) I believe, awhile ago.

Never in my life have I seen it because I don't like "i" to begin with so already the album is a 15/16 lol.

^has to get drunk to have fun

I liked Real tbh

agreed. it worked really well within the context of the album. the hook is meh but I wouldn't call it bad. the hook in no makeup is bad. the hook in real is just there. it doesn't really add or detract from the song.

I enjoy i. the only thing that kind of bugs me is that damn chipmunk voice.

Do yourself a favor and give it a shot, the snl version is much better.

You'll hate Section 80 then because that whole album consists of weird ass Kendrick voices.

I absolutely love Section.80 actually. I like most of Kendrick's voices to be honest. it's one of his big strengths as an artist. something about his voice on i doesn't do it for me though. still dig the song though but every time his first verse starts I'm like "whaa?" then I adjust.

 

[Lifejumper]

King Kunta snippet https://soundcloud.com/hiphopunited-1/kendrick-lamar-king-kunta-snippet

Damn.

 

[Grover Cleveland]

The album version of i is the extended version from SNL fwiw

Wrong Beats-ad?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=thtPhtMcdlY

That apparently is on Dre's next album.

In other words, forget it exists.

 

[phanphare]

so, uhhhh, yeah I got bored and that Kendrick snippet annoyed me because it was skipping and shit. so I tried my best to arrange it how I think it's supposed to sound in audacity. it's not perfect but if you want to hear it check it out

http://www.mediafire.com/listen/95chh45dpvuv55d/king_kunta.mp3

(all for about 7 seconds lol)

 

[Magnetic_North]

FIRE!

This is gonna be sick I'm so ready

also I like "i" yeah it's different but it's catchy, I reckon people might change there opinion on it after hearing "u" then listening to "i" it'll all flow well like GKMC

 

[Magicgamer101]

How can you not like Real? That song speaks to me

 

[RBK]

How can you not like Real? That song speaks to me

Do you have a better candidate for worst song on the album?

 

[Syntsui]

The hook kills Real, I just can't stand it. No Make Up is listenable at least.

Real and that Sherane song are candidates for worst songs on GKMC.

 

[Princess Carl]

How can you not like Real? That song speaks to me

yeah, today I learned that people don't like real. I'm shook.

 

[PhoenixDark]

The hook kills Real, I just can't stand it. No Make Up is listenable at least.

Real and that Sherane song are candidates for worst songs on GKMC.

stop it

 

[Floridian]

Friday the 13th tomorrow. I'm Ready for another surprise release.

 

[RBK]

Real
Now or Never
Compton
Backstreet Freestyle

 

[Syntsui]

stop it

Shit is shit, and that particular one is an auto skip.

 

[phanphare]

Do you have a better candidate for worst song on the album?

honestly parts of The Art of Peer Pressure bug me more than anything from Real

 

[Nakazato]

I need songs like Real and recipe

 

[Magicgamer101]

yeah, today I learned that people don't like real. I'm shook.

There is literally no bad song to me on this album. Section 80 on the other hand at least 3/4 songs my hands hovering over the skip button.

Money Trees is the best song though

Now I really can't wait. Section 80 sounded amazing to me and Bitch Don't kill my Vibe is one of my most favorite tracks from him ever. Bring on the funk/jazz.
