[Trey]

Hood Politics can be nothing but a banger. No other options exist with that kind of track title.

 

[LightOfTruth]

Real
Now or Never
Compton
Backstreet Freestyle

That song is sick but I can understand not liking it. Actually I didnt like it myself at first either.

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

Which parts?

 

[Sutton Dagger]

Wrong Beats-ad?

God that beat is sexy... Damn, didn't know it was supposed to be on Detox (ie it's never coming out)...

 

[studyguy]

 

[CountBlack]

 

[PhoenixDark]

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

smh, you skip the first track on the album lol?

The bass and synths are hypnotic, the verses are dope, it's the introduction to the album's story/theme...

 

[Grover Cleveland]

According to Sounwave (TDE in-house producer), Dre is on track 11.

Now whether that means he's rapping on it or he produced it, it's not clear.

 

[Fjordson]

Hope it's a Dre verse about how we forgot about him and how he's still here and that Detox is coming.

 

[Fry]

no way.

 

[SamVimes]

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

Compton is way worse. It doesn't even feel like it belongs on the album.

 

[Gila]

You guys don't like Real? What the fuck

 

[Psychological Intellect]

You guys don't like Real? What the fuck

Isn't that a bonus track?......

 

[Stabby McSter]

Isn't that a bonus track?......

I don't think so. Real is pretty much the conclusion to GKMD, with everything after being bonus tracks.

...except I just looked and Compton isn't considered a bonus track wot

Compton's like the song that plays over the end credits.

 

[CountBlack]

Isn't that a bonus track?......

Nah.

Bonus tracks all together were

Swimming Pools (Black Hippy remix)
Now or Never
Collect Calls
County Building Blues
Black Boy Fly
The Recipe
The Recipe (Black Hippy remix)
BDKMV Remix with Jay on the later issued copies

Wait what are these..

Goddamit, so much kendrick shit blowing my mind tonight. People not liking Real, 2 tracks I haven't heard

What? Both those tracks are great and could've been on GKMC imo.


I know he really wanted Cartoons & Cereal on there but all those samples tho

I didn't buy the album from iTunes so I never received those 2 tracks, they're new to me and I'm loving it.

Actually, did County Building Blues get released recently or something?

 

[SKINNER!]

Boardin' this hype train like a mothafuck!

Yea they randomly added it to iTunes this week lol

 

[XBP]

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.

I'm surprised people dont like real and no make up's hooks. Love both these songs and their hooks especially.

 

[Syntsui]

I know it's an important track for the whole concept of the album and all, it's just not pleaseant to listen to.

 

[Kopite]

I like Real's hook, not No Makeup's though. Compton sounds different for a reason, it depicts a changed and mature Kendrick as opposed to the younger K.Dot character we hear in the first 11 tracks.

 

[RBK]

Still a pretty weak track.

 

[Kopite]

Still a pretty weak track.

I like Just Blaze's production on it and Dre's verses too. Pity he's got nothing to say anymore.

 

[manipulate]

best description of this I've ever seen

Art of peer pressure original sample

 

[phanphare]

Which parts?

I'm not crazy about anything after the beat changes

one part that specifically bugs me is when he says "trippin........really trippin...." I don't know what it is about that line and the way he delivers it but it bugs the shit out of me every time. also all the "we made a right, then a left, then another right" is kind of annoying.

those are tiny little nitpicks but on an album as good as GKMC those two/three moments really stick out to me.

 

[Extollere]

I still love Kendrick's verse on the Bitch Don't Kill My Vibe remix. Dunno where that track showed up, but it's amazing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JZ5-Soe3NJ0

 

[CountBlack]

y'all gonna test drive king Kunta for me?

 

[FZZ]

I don't like King Kunta that much

The female voice just throws it off and the weird sound effects don't help either

I feel like the album is gonna be 50% i and 50% The Blacker The Berry and not in the good way

 

[Angelus Errare]

SMOKING WEED WITH YOU
CAUSE YOU TAAAAAUGHT ME TO

 

[PhoenixDark]

King Kunta is dope but I agree the female vocals are meh. I get that it's a James Brown type supporting background singer style but...he doesn't sound funky.

I like the track tho

 

[Floridian]

She was unnecessary but I like it a lot more than i.

 

[FZZ]

I love what he is going for with the straight up funk intro and then it proceeds into a more ominous sound with the alternating chords but then the "you goat(?) mouth mammoth fucker" sample happens and it just falls apart for like 10 seconds, it just sounds like it doesn't belong there. And then it picks up from there.

But seriously fuck those cartoon sound effects and the vocals sound like they could be from Knife Party's new album.

Hopefully this isn't the final version.

 

[Fjordson]

I like it. Beat is on some 90's west coast / San Andreas intro shit. Verses are nice also.

The female vocals are definitely unnecessary though lol

Well im excited, kendrick seems like he wont dissapoint.

 

[Dr. Giggles]

I'm really digging King Kunta. Kenny going to live up to the hype.

 

[Chris R]

To Pimp A Butterfly first impressions: http://sectioneighty.com/first-impressions-kendrick-lamar-to-pimp-a-butterfly/

But when all is said and done, To Pimp A Butterfly is potentially one of the most important albums of this generation, and more-so possibly Kendrick’s best work to date. You will not be disappointed.

 

[SamVimes]

Where are you all listening to King Kunta?
edit: nevermind, found it
edit2: oh god it's fucking good

 

[the doombass]

King Kunta is fucking fire. Too hyped for this.

 

[Air]

Gonna have to give king kunta a listen to when I get home.

 

[Bacon]

King kunta is fucking awesome. Loving the funky vibes

 

[Magnetic_North]

 

[MercuryLS]

Soon...

 

[Uno Venova]

Poor hook, unnecessary female vocals, No.

Kendrick is batting so poorly on singles/leaks going into this album.

 

[Mr. Doop]

Is this one coming out on vinyl like GKMC? I'd love to have it.

 

[jaypah]

Good Lawd. Dude fitna be at the buffet. I need this shit.

 

[MThanded]

This jawnt bangs.
