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

[NoHalfWay]

I like "i" more than Momma tho

Blasphemer

 

[ML29]

kendrick competing with himself right now.

 

[USSInsiders]

and that right there is 90-percent of the people buying Kendikk's album, ladies and gentlemen.

The production and soundscape on this whole thing is beautiful. Shame we got a goddamn gremlin warbling over the whole project.

 

[Ziggiy]

I use it as the final track on the album. Makes for a perfect closer.

I use it as an intro. shyt gets me hype every time

 

[Ziggiy]

So then naw you can't really do it then? When I accuse rappers of biting I can post links demonstrating that shyt.

The way he does his voice? He been doing that forever and it's probably his biggest weakness. Also what voice thing are you referring to with Outkast? Like the Art of Storytelling Pt. 2? Because Kast aint really alter their voice much in their music.


Edit: I'm almost certain you won't post tracks side by side, because it would make you look foolish

Andre has been altering his voice since Aquemini in a sort of similar way. Wouldnt go so far as to call it biting because Andre has never used it across an entire project to convey emotion/feeling the way Kendrick does. Kendrick's usage is wholly unique to his style

 

[Black Magisterialness]

But real shyt stop calling shyt classics like a week after they drop...that shyt is asinine. Classic insinuates that the music's effect will persist and has persisted through time...


usually TIME has to pass for that.

 

[CASHAPP]

I dont know why guys keep bringing up Andre. Like someone said there is a difference between influence and straight biting. When someone is biting Andre you would know right away. Nobody else sounds like Kendrick Lamar, he has a unique voice.

Go listen to the verse on Miguel's "How Many Drinks"..and imagine Andre 3K's voice on it...even bytch Dont Kill My Vibe...which I believe 3K was present for during recording...

Listened to 3/4ths of the album, just to get a feel for the sound. I like it. Will buy on Tuesday, along with Action Bronson and, hopefully, Cannibal Ox.

 

[RTF]

But should that be a knock on the album?

That it isn't as impactful or enjoyable as it should be? Yes.

King Kunta
Alright
Hood Politics
You ain't Gotta Lie
i
Mortal Man

All are easily digestible records IMO.

Half those are on the second half of the album. By the time you get to You Aint Gotta Lie an hour has passed.

People aren't gravitating to King Kunta like that either, you aint gotta lie too. By easily digestible I was thinking something along the lines of Blood on the Leaves/Bound 2. Something any casual fan could identify and ride with. People are gravitating to Alright, Hood Politics. Even still those tracks aren't golden like that.

But for me the strongest records are easily some of the denser records.

 

[Super Future Luther King Jr.]

so yea...i'm a cac

don't be mad if you see a white dude on the way to work dancin like "we should neva gave them nikkas money, go back home, money go back home.. "

 

[James Worthy]

This album is like fine wine...it gets better with time and understanding:

Not to sound like a dikk...but are you the voice of the people that you're making claims that people aren't gravitating towards certain tracks?

And russ: @ Bound 2 being easily digestible. Sorry but w/o that sample that shyt is status.
