Kendrick Lamar will kill your favorite rapper for money

Sorry if this was discussed, but are the voice messages from mom and pops real on this album? I think they add a ton to the storyline/theme of the album, obviously. Pardon my ignorance.

dunno but dominos is extremely real

I ain't trippin' about them dominoes no more.

teenage k-dot's first mixtape from 2004 is a pretty entertaining curio, at least for a few minutes: http://fashionably-early.com/2013/04/14/kendrick-lamar-hub-city-threat-minor-of-the-year-mixtape/

dude used to really jock jay-z flows! had been kinda thinking how the "vibe" remix was funny because he's so much less indebted to jay now than almost any other young rapper.

iirc it's his actual parents but the skits are recreated/fictional

"shrink don't kill my vibe" really?

you mean "trick"?

haha is that what the radio edit says. didnt sound like that 2 me. although if i squint my ears i hear 'drake dont kill my vibe' and that pleases meh

better than "I love bad bad tha'ma tha'ma problem"

99.9% of the time i could give a fuck about fashion, but this shit is fucking awesome

dinosaur cosplay?

If u r not down with the black la-goon...

kendrick looks like he's wearing pajamas whenever the tops match the bottoms

lmao at kendrick saying "mick romney" on this song

lol i didn't even notice that

that song has rlly grown on me :-/

it kinda reminds me of the SNL 'song memories' sketches where guys sit around in a bar singing a song and sharing nostalgic memories, but every story ends up being really horrifying or inappopriate

Cool. the winning poster is good. Pink one is good too.

Woke up to see that this track had generated four Twitter trending topics. So much love for battling Kendrick.

Kendrick is back to killing his favorite rappers for money, huh?

He read this thread title and thought, Oh yeah, that.

somehow this awful thread title ended up being prophetic smh

is mac miller legit now

in a sense

both ab soul and schoolboy q are on his album so i'm not totally shocked that kendrick mentioned him

mentioning tyler the creator is more lol to me

the greatest shade is prob at everyone he left out

i love it when one of these guest verses comes along that just BODIES EVERYTHING though. gunplay on "cartoon & cereal", nicki on "monster"...

it's kinda hilarious now that kendrick's GOAT song and track are both unofficial releases that will eventually just exist on youtube

Am I the only one who thinks this Kendrick is kinda bogus though? Ever since I saw him live with the full band I've been thinking that he's entering this Will To Power phase where he wants to be loved and respected so much that he just makes these power moves that kinda sacrifice all the quirky little stuff that got me to love him in the first place.

idk as far as guest verses go it's a whole hell of a lot better than I KNOW YOU WANT DIH DIHHHH

Eh, it's a straight verse. There's just something Slaughterhouse-y about it that I don't like.

i'm just pointing out that i'm not sure we necessarily want kendrick indulging his "quirks"

people prob like it mostly cause he disses drake

It's not about quirks really. It's about the transition from introvert, indirect Kendrick to superstar, super rapper Kendrick that we're witnessing at the moment. Not sure how I feel about that.

people tend to become less introverted when everyone likes them

Yeah, They also tend to start loathing the people who suddenly love them.

not everyone is Kanye

there was a funny article abt how the guy from belle and Sebastian didnt want to write sad songs anymore lol

If he stops making music entirely I will become his biggest fan.

xp Oh does he have a full band now? It was a straight MC/DJ set-up when I saw him in February. But if he wants to step up then a full band is the current guarantor of serious intent.

rap bands are the worst

"poetic justice" sounds really good with a band

Nas sounded great with a band last month tbh, because they knew when to step up and when to let the DJ take the lead. I feel like hip hop's realised that having a band doesn't mean you have to turn every track into rock-rap. (Thinking of PE a decade or so ago, not the Roots)
