Kendrick Lamar - To Pimp A Butterfly | (Discussion Thread) *Stream*

[Hyperion]

almost 100K in 1 hour on iTunes

they say 1 million first week is possible

The first rapper since Eminem to hit a Milli first week. If there's ANY rapper who deserves that honor, it's Kendrick.

how much do you bet Drake puts an interview with Biggie as the last track on his album ...

sorry i know brehs...but i had to do it...could not resist

Drake isn't inspired by Biggie that heavily though, is he? lol I know you're kidding, but if dude even had the audacity to pull that off at this point, he'd get the from everybody.

Imagine if they took "i" off and put the Untitled song CDQ version in its place

[Bawon Samedi]

Didn't hate a single song on the album

The funky/soul vibe on the album starts to settle in and you almost forget that you don't normally hear these types of beats on a hip-hop album

this album will be a grower for most people. the more you listen the more you like. People are accustomed to gritty street tales like on GKMC, tonally this album is very different and it may be off-putting to some people. Kendrick is a creative genius. them jazzy beats

I'm so attached to GKMC's gritty and raw storytelling that I got to open myself up to this one At the beginning of the album you'll be like But as it goes on you just break down to it This may overtake GKMC as I listen to it more, it's one of those growers

I think all of us whether we love or hated the album should all tomorrow in the daytime listen to it again to make another opinion. We might all not be 100% focused at these late hours.

Everybody still up in arms about Untitled not making the album but the thing is. This album is perfect as is, there's not a song I'd take off to add Untitled. Untitled is an incredible performance and song but I think of it like I think of The Heart Pt. 3. The Heart Pt 3 is also an incredible record but I wouldn't sacrifice ANY song on GKMC for it. In the age of smartphones and everything digital all you have to do is throw Untitled on right at the end of Mortal Man as a *bonus* if you dig it that much

me as well. GKMC is one of my most favorite albums ever. So it's hard to live up to that. This album is very different but I love Kendrick's creativity and I can't wait until I really put together the whole story and decipher it more, kendrick seemed to up his wordplay on this album, lots of double entendres and metaphors.
