That sucks man. Raymond is the Portishead sample jack, so you might be correct.

This song so fucking problematic

If this song is from one individual personal point of view ( Possibly a gang member/Kendrick himself), then it’s a dope song.

If this supposed to from the point of view the Black community as a whole……fail like a mothafucka

On one hand, it is dope.

On the other hand, it's twenty seconds shorter than Triumph and features seven less rappers.

Didn't love "I" and not really loving this King Kunta joint either. Need to listen to the whole album to see how it flows because I really am an album dude and love to listen front to back to see where the artist is coming from- but for now not impressed that much.

i & king kunta are both dope. they have a similar vibe that suggests kendrick is moving beyond rap into pure musicality. taking it to a whole notha level.

i think that untitled joint from colbert is not sposed to be on the album.
1. Nas
2. Drake

that's pretty much it fam.

iTunes fucked up and accidentally released the clean version, and now it's everywhere

Explicit will likely be released soon as some damage control

EDIT: Explicit out now on most sources

It's much jazzier than GKMC. It seems to have been designed to feel 'important' though.

On point. Black Hippy is the Soulquarians of 2015. Immense talent vs. basic vision. Kendrick will be better off if/when he steps down from his pedestal. Otherwise, dude is set to be Common 2.0

Gonna require many more listens, but I dig this. Musically just an interesting listen start to finish, I can't get down with all of it, especially all the voices, but it's ambitious as fuck imo. Guessing this one is gonna get obnoxiously praised and shitted on equally.

After listening to King Kunta a dozen times over the weekend, I am liking it more, but still not blown away. Gonna give the album a listen today. Of course got a few texts overnight that the explicit was also on itunes, ordered it half asleep and they put me back in that pre-order lane. :fail:
