Kendrick Lamar will kill your favorite rapper for money

Nbd

a whole lot of the guitar on the song, particularly the lead guitar on the chorus, is definitely re-played and not directly sampled. would love to hear the crazy Ernie Isley phase shifter guitar tone on the track but it might sound really messed up and out of place, for better or worse, on a modern track.

really dug "i" and the unnamed colbert song that might not go anywhere but this is def the best of the new tracks so far

angry kendrick is angry but yeah, this is more interesting than anything else i've yet heard from him post bad city

I dig it
Burn down Babylon

feel like kendrick high voice is low key one of the most controversial things in the world of art

all three of these tracks are fucking incredible, though "i" is still head and shoulders above most anything, ever

where's a ratanuki when you need one?

The electric guitar that appears on top of it all in the chorus is most definitely not an Isley sample. The other guitar parts are a sample.

yeesh

corn emoji

these 3 songs (i, colbert, blacker the berry) are like O_O. i'm ashamed i ever thought he'd screw up his next album.

only 'blacker' is good though

"the blacker the berry" is pretty incredible

For sure. Can't work out who it reminds me of.

This is the post-Michael Brown anger I was looking for and couldn't find in RTJ2 for some reason.

can't stop listening to all three of these

For sure. Can't work out who it reminds me of.

i know you hate me don't you makes me think of in between us every time

reminds me of Eminem

yeah eminem comes to mind but in a good way - sort of "the way i am" ish

appropriating dancehall for gravitas works a lot better here than it did on yeezus

i love how the beat seems to be tripping ahead of itself

The decision to rap in this voice -- unsure if I like it yet.

March 23, apparently:

King Kunta is soooooo good, wow

agreed agreed

He made the NY Times Crossword Puzzle today.

(So did Taylor Swift and Baha Men).

Kendrick Lamar - To Pimp A Butterfly (2015)

and Baha Men).\

nice

promotional concert sounds hokey. i think i'm a hater

i dunno man. big stars doing surprise hometown shows is always pretty cool imo.

do it for teh vine!

i think the yeezus promotional stunts burned me on these. been too close to teh industry to enjoy them

tired of stagecraft (maybe just old)

this looks too awesome for fronting on imo

I'm on an indie record label. I know the difference between self made online content and a corporate level media campaign.

A lot of theories on who's really behind ISIS and that's above my pay grade to weigh in on, but there's something very surreal about them.

That is... tenuous.

my background in indie media promotion has perfectly prepared me for this job at the cia

what hes missing is isis havent been and indie band for a while

Muslims' PR/tech game has been abysmal for a generation and suddenly these mostly unknown cats pop up out of nowhere on Don Draper status?

Don't get me wrong, there is a deep crisis the Muslim world (as there is in post Christian west) but ISIS feels like a real life movie to me

lol wut

this religion doesnt get the 'net

radical islam = don draper status

the dialog in the this beheading video was obviously written by a pro

I like how Ali leaves it to the experts to determine if his conspiracy theory is true
