10 bands 50 bands 100 bands f--- it man

not sure if its been said, but I legitimately believe there is no name to this album
& that the distribution of it is the Pimping of a Butterfly (Kendrick)
the real title, I think, is "A Blank Letter By Kendrick Lamar"
The letter referring to the poem said in between each song thats directed at
tupac and the african american community

Kind of strange that someone with a 2pac avy is complaining about Kendrick rapping about black culture

 

Mar 21, 2015

no he's explicitly referred to it as TPAB, nice reach though lol

 

Mar 21, 2015

you know hes talking about his og friends he has tried to do "celebrity" type things with and how they still
act ridiculous and commit crimes even on that "upper" level of society. Snoop's part explains it well,
"you can take your boy out the hood, but you can't take the hood out your homie"

 

Mar 21, 2015

so? of course hes gonna refer to it as that, thats what the whole world thinks its called
on the first page of the hard copy booklet it says "A Blank Letter By Kendrick Lamar" in braille
why do you think every copy says "deluxe 18.99" then actually costs "13.99"?
why do you think they dropped it in an odd and very early way?
His twitter avi is still black, that argument is just as strong as yours

lol yeah

Kendrick calls it TPAB, the world calls it TPAB, the album cover says TPAB, every music service from iTunes to Spotify calls it TPAB, his label calls it TPAB................but it's not actually called TPAB because Kendrick's twitter avy is black and the album came out a little early

incredibly solid logic, no one could argue with that!!

because a marketing firm told them to

this isn't speculation that's literally what happened

 

Mar 21, 2015

You ain't gotta lie slowly becoming one of my favorites on the album...

 

Mar 21, 2015

album cover doesnt say a thing, I'm surprised you guys aren't even giving it a chance.
I honestly think this is right, why else would that braille be there? the cd design and inside of
the hard copy is all blank & white

 

Mar 21, 2015

People still contemplating about the title being written in Braille... smh. Leave that guy alone.

 

Mar 21, 2015

you could also say that the "Blank Letter" is also written to white america too,
just look at the album cover
Its white america's biggest fear, a "riot" turning into a revolution
revenge for the 250 years of slavery and ridiculousness since the abolishment of said disgusting acts

 

Mar 21, 2015

The same way GKMC was "a short film by Kendrick Lamar" TPAB is probably "A Blank Letter by Kenrick Lamar"

 

Mar 21, 2015

I thought the same thing, but that defeats the fact its called "a BLANK letter"

 

Mar 21, 2015

@jordan18 they gonna keep saying you reaching, but don't be afraid to give some more of your opinions

 

Mar 21, 2015

thanks bruv i appreciate it, idc if they think im a reaching lame
conversations like these are good for the sake of the album

Some people on this forum truly don't believe that artists who work on a project for 3+ years for ~60 minutes worth of an experience don't put a meaning and thought into each and every part of their artwork. From an artist like Kendrick, I think that everything we hear or read on his album was intentional and thought out.

If there's anything I learned in my s-----y f---ing Art History & Interpretation classes is that each brush stroke is meticulously planned.

Dude the replay value on it is insane

You're welcome

very well said, I agree
