Albums Kendrick Lamar - DAMN. (Discussion Thread)

[HiiiPower]

his last album is far better imo, also joey singing on this new album is really off

Joey singing

I'll still give it a listen tho soon enough.

 

[Ike omad]

its official now

even TDE didnt hear of her on Soundcloud and Tumblr. She was still working her day job then.

Now your fukking lying because at the end of the day Dave found her on the internet. She may have been working a day job but she had a buzz online. That is a fukking fact!

I'm not saying she was a star but she had a following and TDE gave her an opportunity and helped her build her fanbase, now they are hindering her and that is the bottom line.

Well actually the story goes they found her at a show sponsored by clothing line 10 deep when she was working with them. Her friend was playing her music and Punch asked her what that was and the friend told them how it was SZA's music. At the end of the day she still had a buzz before signing with them and was buzzing on the blogs. That I won't even argue with you over. At the end of the day my point still remains the same and that is, TDE is not marketing or pushing her correctly.

wrong. These are SZA's words.

“No one other than Daniel, Ashley, and my boyfriend had heard my music, not even my mom. But he [Punch] heard it and liked it and his opinion matters."

They should at least drop another single today to make up for the disappointment.

They may not have announced it was dropping today but Kendrick's line on The Heart IV certianly indicated it, and hype was building all week, so all it took was a tweet saying it wouldn't be coming this week.

Poor fella, you'll be okay.

Don't get your hopes up

Okay, that still does not change the fact they are not pushing her. Also they heard her music years before signing her. Her meeting them was YEARS BEFORE THEY fukkING SIGNED HER! Punch believed in her sure, they may have supported her yes, but they are fukking her up as well. So you can dwell on whatever points you want too. My point is they are shytty at marketing her. Bottom fukking line!

Edit: Read that damn article you linked too. It says she met them to and half years ago right in the beginning, this was a time period before she was signed. She did some of her own music self released and that is what caught a lil buzz on the blogs. I admit TDE helped her get to a certain point but I also feel they are hindering her career. They do a poor job as a label.

Don't get your hopes up

its the official date, and thats the only release date that has been confirmed. April 7th has never come out of tde's mouth

 

[HoLLaBaCK]

This is the kinda shyt I hate...

If u give a date that shyt should come out that date. How can u say u got still April 7th to get your shyt together...and it doesn't drop April 7th .

I wanna add I don't want to hear about whatever project your working on if it's NOT GONNA COME OUT! Like when Kanye and Drake talk about they are working on something and they got a lot of songs they worked on...then it doesn't come out.

breh.

This is the same label that secretly signed Kendrick to Aftermath and pretended he wasnt signed until he had enough buzz. They announced it...no one cared....pretended he was still indie...then re-announced it some years later.

They have a reputation of astro-turfing their artists. TDE is the reason SZA got her first mixtape premiered on Complex, lets not be blind here.

She had 0 before them and this article is full proof of that.
