Lmao this thread gettin Outta control
Anyone know why the "We Don't Die" joint he performed on the Colbert Report isnt on the album? Would've loved to see that slide in right before "Complexion".
Was hoping for the beat on that trailer video to make its way on the album too...Looks like UMG wiped that trailer from the net altogether.

Target is fucking up. I'm here and they have it in the back and won't sell it until next week. I guess it's Best Buy then.
I'm not at the point of calling it a classic, I've only heard the thing once. That said, I'm not sure it's seeing T&Y but it's not that far off that's for sure. They are comparable but Kendrick gives the album's theory away while Lupe just leaves hints for you to figure it out yourself.
Both albums are complex and deep, they even overlap a bit in content. What Lupe did with jazz, Kendrick did with a funk base.
I think this is like Achilles and Hector being in the same war on different battlefields, I don't really see anyone being able to see what those two and J Cole have done the last few months.
As far as Kendrick and Cole go, I sit here right now and I'm looking at Wale and thinking that he really needs this album to be special for him to stay in the conversation because these are his peers and they changing the game. Cole and Kendrick are doing spoken word and conscious rap and selling major records, this is Wale's lane, they proved it's an audience out there waiting for that type of stuff. The pressure is thick.

I feel the same way bout wale.
If his album doesn't deliver its over for him as far as being in the same class as his peers Cole & Kendrick.... This is his last chance
