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

[Zero]

Instituionalized production/sonically sounds just like J Dilla. I hear a lot of Dilla/Slum Village influence on some of these tracks.

As a rapper I think he's annoying as fukk to listen to and overrated, but it's certainly interesting what he opted for sonically on here

Momma is the most obvious one to me

 

[USSInsiders]

On Momma I was expecting to hear "Let's goo!" ad libs by Dilla in the background

 

[str8up]

I wasn't very hyped for this so when it dropped I wasn't real like I am with other things

After 2 listens I think it's very good, even more cohesive than GKMC

As far as it being album of the year I don't really know yet, compared to everything else that has come out yeah

I think something else will top this though it's only March good year so far

 

[USSInsiders]

Momma is the most obvious one to me

Yep, speak of the devil. I got it right now. I could hear Dilla yelling ad libs on here.

So great, the gremlin is warbling and grumbling over remade Dilla beats. Now people gonna act like he's a revolutionary

[Marci-Senpai]

this album version on "i" is crazzzzyyyyyy that ending verse gave me motherfukking goosebumps for real

 

[☑︎#VoteDemocrat]

Where the song from Colbert?

 

[megatronium]

It is just you fakkit, is it really a shock a dude that named himself "Negro_Napoleon" on Reddit and denied being black on TheColi wouldn't rock with Kendrick

You listening to Drake like you do is pure comedy too, anybody that reads your posts knows ain't many bytches checking for you, your posts exude such lameness. That's why you fukk with Aubrey so heavy, cause you listening and day dreaming a bytch would even be with you first in order to leave you

 

[NormanConnors]

This album is a masterpiece. Do you guys thiink its better than MBDTF?

Neither are masterpieces, Kendrick is a dope artist but he has to be the most overrated cat out there next to Drake.

GKMC >>>

How can cats say Cole is Nyquil but bump this

3.5 - 4 mics, solid 3.75

SO!
I'm in love, this is a beautiful (concept?) album, I know grouping blacks together is a bad thing, but I really feel like this is a big artistic win for black music in 2015
Kendrick really ripped open his chest and let us see something beautiful
the skit was just
the soundscapes
the perspective and feelings he was expressing
the interview at the end of mortal man too
the fukking caterpillar allegory

will it kill the vibe if you play it in the car, yeah
but when you feel like being inspired as a black creative, this thing is irreplaceable

I think definitely this is going to be one of the ones remembered 20 years from now and beyond

yo my nikka, that track is my joint. "if u want it, come and get it"

 

[HARLEM AL]

Nah it's not. I never dikkride a rapper because I fukk with them. A classic to me is an album with 3/4ths of the songs I'll.play for the rest of my life. If nikkas want to listen to this weak shyt 20 years from now cool.

The irony is you quoted a nikka that dikk rides a rapper.

 

[Professor Polo]

Dirty link out yet?

 

[Bernie Madoff]

Damn listen to section 80, then listen to this
And he got alittle eminem annoying voice thing going on too
