Kendrick Lamar scrapped 2 or 3 albums to make TPAB

[str8up]

It's pretty common, and I think it turned out a good product.

I personally really dislike GKMC, never have liked much more than a song or two. I like Section.80 a lot too.

"The trip led Lamar to scrap "two or three albums worth of material," according to engineer/mixer Derek "MixedByAli"
Ali."

HE BETTER MAKE A LOST TAPES.

And I think it's wack af to record hella music snd never drop it.

if you don't think something's good enough then why release it ?

Usually true geniuses/artists don't need to SAY that their art will be understood only later on.

Dude (and the machine behind him) should just stop building narratives and let the music do the talking. Pretty sure any major artist scraps 40-50 songs per

album

Am I the only who who believes these artists are talking out if their ass during these interviews? 20 years to be understood? Ok still a great album

IF we're talking about TPAB and the potential influence it could have on Hip-Hop going forward, I think
he has a point.
He's continuing musically where Dre, The Roots, Dilla etc. left off.
He's giving an out for people who want to keep samples at a minimum but still want to make Hip-Hop.

If anything, we might not see it NOW but maybe four or five generations from now Hip-Hop bands
might pop up with more regularity sighting Kendrick Lamar's "TPAB" and other albums in that vein
as their inspiration for picking up instruments instead of a stack of records.

And if memory serves me correctly his album was originally supposed to FUNKY, like REALLY FUNKY
not just one or two funk inspired records. Which is why dude was kicking it with not only Thundercat but
he went to go see Battlecat as well.

I'm assuming the album changed from Flylo inspired production -----> Going back to "Funk" -----> to incorporating
Funk, Jazz, Hip-Hop and Neo-Soul in the final product.

He had a point. Everyone gets inspiration from somewhere.

that machine is strong behind him

so what it the machine backed it? the machine backed many albums that i enjoy to this day (GRODT, The Documentary)

y'all should be surprised this album came out the way it actually did. with no clearcut uber-mainstream songs.

Cacs love that album, and cacs was the ones that wrote all the reviews giving it 10's fooling nikkas into thinking the shyt was fire or "deep".
