Kendrick Lamar - "To Pimp a Butterfly"

[gifted]

In Kendrick, I see Nas (the storytelling, creativity, versatility)+ Pac (the poet/emotion)+ 3K (the musicality)+ Em (lyricism, voice/pitch changes, annoying at times) with the West Coast soundscape. Kendrick has the ability and potential to be a legend. The next couple of albums will determine that.

hiphopdx had an article recently about that and i was suprised they didn't include kanye and even eminem

 

[IceBergTaylor]

I was gonna say Em too not really sure why I didnt include him. It wasnt til Encore when shit hit the fan.

 

[blacktux]

For free was absolute trash.

Ill never make it through that track.

I see what he was going for i guess but the execution was ass.

 

[blacktux]

Album is dope as fuck though i been on a 4 day session playing nothing but it.

 

[S2J]

'Momma' gives me them 'Sing about Me' chills nh

 

[Negro_Caesar]

Ok i listened to the album again after reading all yall shit and his hot 97 interview

Shit regressed

Kendrick moved another 118k today. I forget what he did the first week. I think he's close to gold. Like in the 465-475 range.

Some of the tracks on this album really don't make sense to me.

Especially that For Free? track.

for free is a interlude not a actual song lmao. have you ever been to a spoken word event it makes perfect sense. its about now that he has money he has a flock of women chasing after him which is saying my dick aint free which means bitch did you want me when i was broke why you want me now. which is why the next song is king kuntra where he is saying bitch where were you when i was walking.

I appreciate what he's doing. It just sounds horrible to me.

That type of spoken word may not be for you, i understand it and love spoken word i'm not going to blame it on your race its something thats take a minute to understand.

I get what he's saying. Just not what I like to hear on a rap album. It's an annoying track whether it's spoken word or not.

Whose fuckin twitter is that!? I been tryna figure out who that is for a minute now.

 

[LcnsdbyROYALTY]

Nevermind I figured it out. So Top Dawg is LoveDragon!? I'm too confused now.

I guess Top Dawg done started producing now

I guess he's going the Dr. Dre/Diddy route of production >_>

This album reminds me a lot of Common's "Like Water for Chocolate"

 

[IceBergTaylor]

I really was hoping that was Dre. Lol at when MTV asked whomever it was, who was LoveDragon and that person said "I can't say but when they are ready they'll let you know" ain't nobody care that Top Dawg is a fuckin LoveDragon.

It was XXL. That's what's baffling about it though. Both tracks have the same 4 writers (3 if we take out Kendrick). Sounwave, whom they were interviewing, was a co-writer on one of the LD tracks as well.

 

[IceBergTaylor]

Top Dawg and Punch are two different ppl right?
