Music: New Kendrick Lamar Album

[x Tame Impala]

There is nothing experimental about anything Kanye has ever done.

Simply not true.



Hate on his personality and public life exploits all you want, but anyone who is a fan of rap/hip-hop who thinks Kanye is trash and/or has no talent instantly loses all credibility with me.

He's not a fantastic rapper but he's one of the most talented producers and song makers of the last 15 years.

 

[x Tame Impala]

I'm always pumped for new Kendrick. Hope it's better than TPAB though.

The way Kathleen need Regis thats the way Hip hop needs Yeezus

lol, okay

 

[x Tame Impala]

People who say that stuff make me think they've hated rap their whole lives and listens to "Tool" instead

TPAB was released at midnight right? Im gonna stay up till 1230 waiting for this

A lot of times it's thinly veiled racism

Someone actually leaked the clean version on iTunes a week early. Kendrick/tde then said **** it and decided to just drop Borg versions. But yeah IIRC it was around midnight est the leak happened.

Blatantly not true.

I'm not an entertainment mod but lets move the Ye vs. KDot discussion to the hip-hop thread: http://hfboards.mandatory.com/showthread.php?t=2160661&page=7

This discussion is fine there but this thread is dedicated to purely Kendrick's incoming album.

You guys can debate one GOAT against the other GOAT in that thread.

I've been playing around with my Kendrick discography since Humble was released.

I almost forgot how awesome "LOOK OUT FOR DETOX" and "Cartoons & Cereal" are.

"Salt all in my wounds
Hear my tears all in my tunes
Let my life loose in this booth
Just for you, motha****a, hope y'all amused
And I run it (Blow! Blow! Blow! Blow!)"

My question was more for Voyager personally. I was curious if he thought Kendrick was better. I know he's a Kanye fan so I wanted to know his thoughts. Didn't mean to derail the thread.

I loved TPAB but GKMC is still my favorite, even over Section.80

I'm biased because it overlapped with a particular time in my life but I still gush about it.

when the lights shut off and its my turn

to settle down, my main concern



less than an hour until drop...hopefully. Pls.

 

[Bob Richards]

iTunes doesn't have it but Apple Music is showing a 14 track album attributed to Kendrick. No labels or artwork though.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

April 14. I'm going to cry.

 

[Five Alarm Fire]

April 14. I'm going to cry.

Not set in stone. Something is fishy here.

 

[Mikeaveli]

TPAB dropped early, I'm predicting this does too

 

[M.C.G. 31]

iTunes says "expected release date" of April 14. It's midnight now, it's not up. It'll probably end up leaking next week, but still... kinda bummed out.

Someone on reddit posted a text message exchange (then deleted because no one believed him) about how his friend who works at Interscope said the album was delayed from the 7th to the 14th because they needed more time to clear some sample.

 

[Chandrashekhar Limit]

****ing lame

Why would a brother do that

 

[Mikeaveli]

Looking at the credits, DJ Dahi, BADBADNOTGOOD, Alchemist & 9th Wonder all got beats on this album, damn. A few too many Mike Will beats for my liking though lmao

 

[M.C.G. 31]

i got my **** together for today ****

 

[Peasy]

Had a feeling he wouldnt drop it today. I expect he'll release one more single this week.
