This is Kendrick's "Kid A" tbqh

 

Mar 16, 2015

He is in prison. Lol they releasing all these mixtapes to keep his name out there

 

Mar 16, 2015

Great analogy... this is a really bold, forward thinking release.

 

Mar 16, 2015

tbh i dont think koolo knew about the suprise release lol. i think TDE trolled him thinking theyd let us do something like a single haha so thgat we wouldnt leak it until monday which is when they were releasing it anyways

almost purposefully polarizing, but wholly true to the artist.

People who think it's bad don't understand the world. There's more to the macro than the micro. There's more than "money p---- weed." There's love and injustice. Harsh truths that they can't get through their thick skulls.

Absolutely... it's refreshing to see a modern mainstream rapper who's willing to make a whole album that doesn't really conform to any current trends, and sounds like nothing else out there.

This post is too real. Chill.

@LasiK i love the voice switch at the beat drop for institutionalized. and the flow...its actually less weird than the first voice lol. and definitely nothing like the actually off-putting voices on "u"

 

Mar 16, 2015

yeah, Institutionalized has some really nice vocal layering on the voice switch up.

Btw, is there a review section on this forum or can people just post reviews on the Kendrick board. This album inspired me. I feel like I can write a long thesis statement that will be the antithesis to today's "hot new music"

Obnoxiously preachy, over-produced, full of annoying voice clips of all types, and pretentious extended sections. Dude can rap, no doubt, and there are spots in the album where the music shines through, but he's more focused on making political statements disguised as music than an actual pleasant listening experience. Yes, we get it, you're making millions off of your music (mostly bought by self-hating white kids), but let's rap about how the white man is keeping you down. Oh, and that cover. Great message.

f--- you, Kendrick.

Yeah I went back to listen cause you said the voice change ruined the 2nd beat and then realized that that half of the song is one of my favorite moments on the tape

 

Mar 16, 2015

But he was talking about empowering all races, and specifically telling his own community not feel sorry for themselves

So what were you listenin to?

 

Mar 16, 2015

"He gave us billie jean, you still think he touched those kids?"

 

Mar 16, 2015

That is from RYM m8

The album is a classic.

 

Mar 16, 2015

Well he definitely wasn't listening to money trees pt 2 so its whack and is literally offended

 

Mar 16, 2015

Honestly don't get the whole "All this album is, is poor me I'm black" Like there's barely anything to do with race on the album... there's so much more to it. Honestly feel bad for these people with aspergers that just hear "im black and i hate white people" from this album.
