Kendrick Lamar - "To Pimp a Butterfly"

[Peezy_Jenkins]

ion think wale care about fans thoughts on his chances to stay with his peers. shit prolly in his mind he not gettin his respect anyway, which he aint, so he gon do what he wanna do.

i know this much, wale albums>>j. cole albums at least.

 

[IceBergTaylor]

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

Nigga what??

Idk what's so hard to understand. Wale is just as talented as Cole and Kendrick. And Wale definitely cares or else he would have never made the "New Legends" claim as he did when The Gifted dropped. Wale always had that "it" factor he was just in the wrong label situation when he started. Its why he was able to push so many units once he got on MMG. People know Wale is a star. But where he should have cemented that with the Gifted it was kind of underwhelming, while Cole & Kendrick continue to progress. Wale needs TAAN to be great and I have high hopes it will be.

I think Born Sinner & FHD are better than Ambition & The Gifted.

But Wale has the best album of the 2 with Attention Deficit

Wale can do it, I'm not one of those people that think his albums are wack, Attention Deficit is dope as fuck and Shades >>> Kendrick's Complexion. It's the same content but Wale & Chrisette totaled that shit, so he can do what these niggas are doing.

Attention Deficit is my favorite Wale album, 90210, Shades, Beautiful Bliss, Diary etc not to mention his mixtape shit, it should be nothing for Wale to bang out an album like FHD.

Listened to the album in full back to back. It's not as appealing "beat" wise like GKMC, but musically it does a lot right and each track seems to intertwine/connect. Lyrics are on point but I gotta be honest, not one verse got me like DAMNN. This album stands on it's own, especially in Kendrick's catalogue so comparing past albums of his own is pointless but expected, we tend to always compare no matter what.

4/5 rating. Also, my first post! Have a good night everyone.

Not to mention K.dot didn't compromise his style once again. Guess the execs at interscope really believe in him after going platinum, hoping to repeat the cycle which I'm sure is on pace to do so based off the first week predictions. Few have the support from their label to have creative control like kendrick has. And on a major at that. So hats off to TDE. It's going to be interesting to see if radio promotes any of the songs even though this record is clearly not catered to their format.

I heard Blacker the Berry on the radio today.

Where they played it 93.3?

Naw 106.1.

I LOVE MY SELF!!!

 

[marc123]

this album sounds like it came out in 1995

 

[R.D.]

I like the studio version of I better but the one on the album ain't bad

 

[StoneColdMikey]

Would had agreed before cole put out FHD

 

[StoneColdMikey]

Oh yeah Wale gonna get outsold by big Sean. Always thought he was more popular than it seems but it just feel like nobody checking for him like that. Except for most of us

 

[jono]

I'm sure y'all already checked this but that sample to open the album and the metaphor of the caterpillar and the butterfly are spot on.

 

[IceBergTaylor]

Let me clarify.... I never said if Wale didnt deliver he was "finished" I just meant he's just not really on those guys' level; always had the potential but couldnt really prove it on the mainstream tip the way Cole & Kendrick did.

 

[jono]

I never really lose faith so I wot wale is done either. I just believe in dude and I see him falling behind cats I think he can keep up with. He has had to sacrifice a lot to get where he is and it's a shame that the kind of stuff he always wanted to make is now what's cool and he moved out of that lane.

Because the release dates are so close I don't see how he can really impress this go round. Kendrick's album is still too new.

So much black soap feelings in this thread smmfh.

Y u even in this thread???

The nail thread is over thurr>>>>

If there's a nail thread in the reason then that would explain a lot of y'all niggas soft boi feels full bullshit.

 

[Elzo69Renaissance]

Niggas forget that big Sean is dating Ariana Grande and white America fucks w him cuz of that

 

[Babaaa]

OBAMA SAY WHAT IT DO

 

[KamPushMe]

For sale is my fav track

So smooth and soothing

For sale is my fav track

So smooth and soothing

It's crazy the track is soothe like that but it's basically the devil trying to entice Kendrick, But u get a feel good vibe from the instrumental. The production on this album is nothing less than spectacular
