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

I think Wesley's Theory is a weak way to start an album imo...I think for For Free is growing on me but it's too strange sounding to be track 2...way too early for a track like that...King Kunta is kinda weak...Institutionalized and These Walls are pretty good...I can't stand "U"..I can't take his voice on that shyt...from Alright and on I pretty much fukk with everything heavy tho...I think Alright is where shyt really picks up...

i like the old record sounds playing at the beginning. sets you up for very end. I just imagine kendrick putting this on for Pac. like he was just listening along the whole time.

I think he's still talking to himself in that last verse homie

The first is him coming off angry, fed up

The second part shyt is sinking in, he's hitting the bottle and drunk

 

[Cynic]

That untitled colbert song is the only thing missing

The way James Brown's The Payback makes you want to get up and Schmoney Dance? Nah b.



The album is a bit too tight to give me that same funk feel. The live version if i is much better than the original for just feeling a bit more loose.

The album has various funk elements and evokes that sound and era but the feeling in the jams? Not close.

James Brown and Schmoney Dance in the same sentence? :tyrese:

Just listened to the album for the second time around with headphones. Got to catch some more of the layers of instrumentation and mixing effects. Like That acoustic bass on "How Much A Dollar Cost" Thundercat really did his thing on this. I wanna see how he attempts to perform this material live. Hopefully he can get the whole ensemble to do some shows.

I think the ability to maximize the songs live is what he was looking for in combination with other ideas

you probably already know, but he had a band for some festivals during the GKMC tour, but started using it more afterwards for most festivals and the Yeezus tour

[AkaDemiK]

lemme go play this....again

 

[Bless't]

The first time i listened to the album i was feeling some kinda way that there is a white person somewhere dancing like "shoulda never given nikkas money!"

Not that there is anything wrong with white people liking this album its just....interesting...considering the content:

I loved Dead Prez 'Lets Get Free' when it dropped. That was a pretty militant and pro black album.

Good music is good music.

 

[GoldenGlove]

Just found a dope post on SoundCloud... all the samples for the album

 

[Grand Conde]

Wait why do people hate 'King Kunta' again, track is dope as fukk.

 

[Beerus]

If u hate it

An uncle tom
Or a racist fukk
Or ignorant
Or too young to comprehend
Simple as it is
#blackexcellence music
