his verse on "nosetalgia" is incredible as well

I agree that guest appearance is a failure, but at least, it's somehow ballsy? I'd rather listen to this kind of shite guest apperance than say, Jay-Z unbelievably dull verse on Drunk in Love. At least, Kendrick tried something.

does anyone here really like "maad city"
it was one of my least favorites on the album but i think it's ok now, his voice is super weird on that track tho

i thought it was generally one of the most well regarded tracks on the album! the weird delivery seemed like an overt 'character' thing to me though so it seems easier to accept as an outlier.
― some dude, Monday, 14 April 2014 19:46 (eleven years ago)
he's batting like .30 as a guest but he's clearly about making a bunch of cash and keeping name recognition high moreso than focussing on quality; can we maybe let him get a second major label release before we nail shut the coffin?

"Maad City" def the GKMC track I heard out most

"Maad City" is fantastic

At least top 5

Wow that was srsly awesome. Of course he didnt do my two favs but cant complain. Great energy...gave us extended encore!

also this Cash Money idiot was one of the openers, cos he was locally based: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caskey_(rapper)
spoke with the worst fake dirtty-Souf accent ever (lol u from Orlando d00d). repeatedly asked audience members to pass him blunts to smoke on stage.

Can't wait for the Glee version.

It's basically a Brother Ali song, but tight.
― longneck, Tuesday, 23 September 2014 13:44 (ten years ago)
i really wanna like this but the beat is rubbing me the wrong way and there's not really much of a chorus there
― snrub goin up on a tuesday (J0rdan S.), Tuesday, 23 September 2014 13:46 (ten years ago)
i sort of admire him for making a "happy" grab

it feels like talib kweli ft santana. i'm down
― schlump, Tuesday, 23 September 2014 13:53 (ten years ago)
that's a good argument in favor
― snrub goin up on a tuesday (J0rdan S.), Tuesday, 23 September 2014 13:54 (ten years ago)
Wish the whole song was like the last third.
― Herbie Handcock (Murgatroid), Tuesday, 23 September 2014 14:38 (ten years ago)
i thought i'd hate it but its sort of great. very early-mid 90s vibes.

Kendrick Lamar will hug your favorite teddy bear for enlightenment

Don't hate it, but I won't be mad if it ends up as a bonus track.
― Simon H., Tuesday, 23 September 2014 15:33 (ten years ago)
Overrated artist.

you like travis scott
― deej loaf (D-40), Tuesday, 23 September 2014 16:52 (ten years ago)
anyway its easy to be cynical abt this record and i'm getting arrested development vibes but i still kinda dig this, it'll sound fun in the mix if it gets some radio traction
Arrested Development otm

lol oh dear
― dyl, Tuesday, 23 September 2014 18:14 (ten years ago)
it's... okay? bonus track seems about right.

Do we know who produced it?
― Van Horn Street, Tuesday, 23 September 2014 18:44 (ten years ago)
as much as like the song, i hope this isn't the 'cartoon and cereal' of his next album
― Van Horn Street, Tuesday, 23 September 2014 18:45 (ten years ago)
waiting for an artist to record a track so that he gets the inevitable "Posdonus ft. Eric Clapton" vibes
― guess that bundt gettin eaten (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Tuesday, 23 September 2014 18:48 (ten years ago)
It's produced by Rahki.
― MarkoP, Tuesday, 23 September 2014 18:50 (ten years ago)
The second half of the song is immeasurably superior to the first
― voodoo chili, Tuesday, 23 September 2014 18:51 (ten years ago)
the "jesus walks"-y bridge is kinda cool
i don't really mind this

Thundercat!
― ban raccoon tanuki (The Reverend), Tuesday, 23 September 2014 19:44 (ten years ago)
yeah i don't dislike it, sounded aight on the radio when i heard it just now (although they cut off like the whole last 30 seconds, which was a shame).
still, to take a year plus to release a new single after "Control" and come with this seems just asking for backlash from the exact audience that got him to platinum last time.
― some dude, Tuesday, 23 September 2014 19:52 (ten years ago)
i think the slightly but not hugely polarized response will work in his favor ultimately, and radio seems to be eating it up (heard it twice in 30 mins)
― dyl, Tuesday, 23 September 2014 20:05 (ten years ago)
xxp it's gotta be him right? Haven't seen any confirmation anywhere though.
― voodoo chili, Tuesday, 23 September 2014 20:06 (ten years ago)
yeah i feel like strategically this is smart, it's a bold move rather than a measured one
― deej loaf (D-40), Tuesday, 23 September 2014 20:20 (ten years ago)
The guitar sound the Isleys used in the original is one of my favorite unique tones in all of music, so even if it's a little corny I don't mind hearing it here.
