Great breakdown. I see the title/cover having more than one meaning tho. A different way to look at it is the opposite way. Rather than Kendrick being 'pimped', it is Hip Hop & Black culture that is pimping White America in modern times. Or atleast that is what Hip Hop is percieved to be doing. This is symbalised with there being a mob of ethnics on the Album cover oppressing the white man infront of the White House. The beauty in all of this is that this is the complete opposite of Kendrick being pimped out, and in turn we have an album which could potentially discuss how the once oppressed Blacks are now percieved to be oppressing/ruining a beatuiful, peacefull White America (the butterfly)

Hard not to have high expectations, but I hope that the rest of the album is able to be as high quality as TBTB and have the same sort of replay value, which GKMC lacked for me.

So I was comparing the track list to the iTunes song times (album is still Untitled with no cover atm) to see if anything made sense and the i extended version is 5:00 minutes long and his SNL performance of it was about 4:30 or so.. so I can see the CDQ version being 5:00 with the music video stuff added.

The last track The Revolution is Live is suppose to be 12:07 long.. according to the track list it features Pete Rock.
Can we see Kendrick collabing with him to make a 12 min track?

King Kunta is 5:36 min long.. which sounds nice af and realistic considering the hype surrounding this track.

As for the meaning of the opening track being Tenth Circle of h---?
There are only nine circles of h---:
First Circle (Limbo)
Second Circle (Lust)
Third Circle (Gluttony)
Fourth Circle (Greed)
Fifth Circle (Wrath)
Sixth Circle (Heresy)
Seventh Circle (Violence)
Eighth Circle (Fraud)
Ninth Circle (Treason)

Now GKMCs opening track basically connected the rest of the album together by introducing us to Sherane, who played a major role in his story.
If this album follows the same story concept writing that GKMC has, Kendrick creating a new circle of h--- as the opening track could be a h--- he deems worthy of whatever the sinner of this story is, which would be the White Man, aka the Judge on the cover representing how Society is allowing all this Police brutality against the Black Man and allowing the police to go unpunished. His 10th circle could be the theme or connecting piece to the rest of the album. (Assuming it follows the Black Pride theme we believe it to.) For those that don't know, the Circles of h--- are a concept from Dantes Inferno that basically says there is a special level of h--- for each type of sinner, where they spend all of eternity.

Of course none of this matters if that track list is fake but meh.
There was something else I was going to add but I forgot what it was, I'll edit if I remember.

Edit: After staring at this I noticed there is a car in the background with what looks like a gun maybe? Not sure how that background matches up with the cover..

 

Mar 11, 2015

Mar 11, 2015

guys the tracklist fake af!!! "The Saviour of the Tribes" lol noooo way he would do that. Plus theres not gonna be a deluxe version its already 15 bucks

 

Mar 11, 2015

That tracklist gives me the same vibe as this fake one from a few months ago

 

Mar 11, 2015

I don't think anyone else thinks it's real. I just thought I would compare the iTunes to it and it got me thinking that's all.

 

Mar 11, 2015

The back cover of this new fake tracklist doesn't even thematically blend in with the front cover.

 

Mar 11, 2015

LOL that's funny I literally just noticed that and edited the picture post seconds after you posted this

 

Mar 11, 2015

CONFIRMED

 

Mar 11, 2015

now all we need is the tracklist then it's "I got the album" twitter troll exclamations along with fake pics, then it's that one a------ that has the album but won't leak it, then someone finally actually has it, is not an a------ and leaks it and we're home.

 

Mar 11, 2015

That's the hype train for you. IN tho.

 

Mar 11, 2015

fyi that cover is fake. the one posted did not have To p---- A Butterfly at the top. plus the most obvious reference people are missing is the correlation to Muhammad Ali.

 

Mar 11, 2015

f--- y'all I ain't leakin dis.

 

Mar 11, 2015

How does 'To p---- a butterfly' correlate with Muhammad Ali?
I assume you're referring to "float like a butterfly sting like a bee" ? Don't see any correlation apart from the word 'butterfly' tho.

 

Mar 11, 2015

and so the fake albums begin.

Remember how elaborate the Watch The Throne fakes were

 

Mar 11, 2015

Think of it something a long the lines of this people wanted to see Ali fight, but didn't want to be associated with him. I think a theme of this album could be based around a theme of white people wanting to see all these black people perform / entertain us, but do not want anything to do with them outside of that.
