Kendrick Lamar - "To Pimp a Butterfly"

[D0wn]

Negus was king in early 1900s. But Kendrick used Negus to show that we are royalty basically

Shit like this is why I talk to you dudes like you are dumb. Which is why these major corporations give your heroes and you shovel the shit down your throat like its sherbert. Negus is pronounced Ne-GOOS for one. For two, WE being royalty based on that is FUCKING IMPOSSIBLE. Notwithstanding the majority of Africans brought over here were from WEST AFRICA- NOT Ethiopia. Even if we were taken from there, the existence of a royal class does not denote that any and every muthafucka from the same area with the same color is royalty too. If everybody was royalty then who the fuck would the royals rule over??? Fucking dummies. This is why you need to be learning from books instead of half-cocked quasi-conscious rappers purposely sent to further confuse your slow asses and steer you away from seeking practical knowledge.

There's always one. That one muhfucka that absolutely refuses to let people enjoy the music without being a fuckin nuisance. You've spoken your peace. We get it. Why waste so much energy on sumin you have no intention of fuckin wit? Why not ignore it until the fanfare dies? Which, in this day, will probably be tomorrow.

Instead we get this frail lookin nigga, whose pretentious ass looks like he just left an elementary poetry slam, posing with his cousins, talkin bout: "Do you know what makes me BLACK?! Never mind my dishwasher's shoes tied too tight, or my Old Navy Tech Vest! My blackness can't be quantified by worldly possessions! Oh no! I'm BLACK because I fall asleep clutching Malcolm's memoirs! *finger snaps*

Foh you ol' high sidin' ass nigga...

It's not officially out yet, so those numbers are going to be factored into the official numbers that drop March 30th. So like I said it's a good chance he moves over 700k. Technically he has 2 and a half or 3 weeks to do 700k, not a bad situation when you think about it.

Idk how the Sunday release effects the offical numbers for the 30th, but by April I see it almost 800k.

Fuckery aside, I'd like to take this time out to plug the AllHipHop Review Board thread.

Drop a review for Kendrick's album. It only has to be 130 words or more to count. Contribute to the thread and this album's overall score.

One of the factors of the Annual IC Appreciation (where a poster wins $100) is engagement so ENGAGE in your forum, my fellow brothers and sisters. Fight the good fight. POST THE GOOD POST!

This was not part of the deal.

That's why I said in the other thread we had to do something about that LOLOL. We made the bet on the 12th I think.

The album drops March 23rd, but none of us knew the leak was going to be this huge or that it would leak at all. Technically speaking when the album officially drops March 23rd, it reports the first week of that period on the 30th or 31st. With the leak reporting those numbers technically his first week reports "2 weeks" of sales. That 375k that gets reported on the 23rd is 7 days following the leak, then there's the "official" first week from the release date of March 23rd to March 30th. So he in essence reports 2 weeks of numbers.

Na.. next week Billboard will report this week as his debut week. Each week of sales will be reported separately. We can settle this in a good ol' IC Court session and have the community juror decide...

..because that's just what's best for business.

Still no word on if the song he performed on the Colbert Report is gonna be released?

 

[GetoBoy]

Damn so y'all gonna count kdot first week of sells as 2 weeks??? It's gonna be hard for you 2 to figure this out becuz his first week of sells should be 16-23 of March becuz that's when it was released but becuz of the early release and confusion he got a extra week head start on the sells and you can add that week and the week of the 23-30 together giving him 2 weeks not first week sales....good luck figuring it my niggas lol

No its all the same. Maybe there will be a deluxe version, or a whole different joint. I'm trying to figure why they cut out 12 homies at the white house out of the title

I just peeped the digital booklet, Quik isn't mentioned in the credits at all on that track. Production, sample or otherwise.
