Kendrick Lamar - Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers (Discussion Thread)

[JustCKing]

People rap over samples for mixtapes all the time that would NEVER be cleared for actual retail albums. Thats the story of Big Krit’s career

There's also instances of Nas's "Street Dreams" where Marvin Gaye's "Mercy Mercy Me' was incorporated into the chorus. That remix is classic complete with the Hype Williams video, but it isn't on the album.

He included it on the Greatest Hits package.

Nas sampled Marvin on Hiphop Is Dead too. The song with Snoop.

I wonder was this cleared? The track was on an album too, not a mixtape.

It’s a shame what happened to Krit’s career in relation to samples. This nikka was hindered like crazy cause of it.

On my 232nd listen to the heart part 5 and this gonna be album of the decade unless Kendrick drops again this decade

Whether it's on the album or not, I wonder if the song indicates the general sound of the album. A return to more live instrumentation possibly.

I hope so

The streets are murmuring this is going to be a very controversial album. He's apparently going to call out some morally reprehensible shyt in the community/industry and also humanize some very polarizing figures.

Well he’s been doing that almost since the beginning. He’s spoken of and supported Michael Jackson at the HEIGHT of white Hollywood doing their damndest to cancel him during that Finding Neverland shyt. Hell GKMC is one big parable and humanization of gangbanging culture. I wouldn’t be surprised if the recent controversies surrounding Isaiah Rashad, Doja Cat, and even people like C-Murda wasn’t on his radar.


When shyt hits the fan is you still a fan?

Most older artists are being listened to by their original fan base.

That’s an entire different topic you’re bringing up. I said how many people are listening to a sample and then listening to the original artist that created it.
.

Plenty of people are. I saw more people already checking for TEMS after the Future song.
I remember when Drake sampled At Your Best by Aaliyah mad people all a sudden became a fan of that song.
