Song on Repeat: Money Trees

Did anybody else notice that in the booklet there's no typical "Thank you's" section? However, it does say "Thank You God and Family" at the bottom of the back of the booklet.

Anyone got a TDE hoodie? Wondering how they fit. I want one now

 

[futuremd]

I agree with EVERYTHING Bomani Jones said here. 

 

[jumpman2314]

Haven't taken this off repeat since the leak.

I want one too but $45 is too much imo

Nobody cares about you or Bomani Jones' opinion.

$45 felt like a steal to me in contrast to the prices of all these other hoodies out there.

I love how the 2nd verse on Sing About Me is a continuation of Keisha's Song.

Says who? The ultimate arbiter of criticism? You? Word? 

You're probably also confused with thinking your OPINION counts more than it does as well.

One voice. One vote. 

Keep thinking you're "special" 

 

[yeeupp]

When an artist sell merchandise, is that money for them or the label ?

 

[Deleted member 37467]

No, my opinion is just as worthless as yours, that's why you wont catch me in threads doing what you do.

You're the one who thinks he's special, bro.

When in reality you're a current and FutureNobody.

Don't even bother responding, because I'm not playing your little back and forth game any longer.

I think it depends on the deal they sign. I believe some deals might require the label to receive a percentage of merchandise and others don't

I see what you're saying but I feel like it's too much for a regular hoodie that just says TDE on it (too plain for the price).

its sad to see these youngins in my generation so hooked to listening to wayne/keef/(insert any other basic rapper thats hot on the radio) where there is no substance to any of the songs that they put out, but when they hear any of kendrick's music.. they literally have no idea how to listen for anything besides the voice + flow of the song and theyre just incapable of catching anything he's really saying lol

but on a different note....when beat drops on BDKMV 

 

 

[futuremd]

When in reality you're a current and FutureNobody.

And that would be?...sharing my thoughts on an album?

Which leads me to wonder why YOU'RE here.

Lol @ Shyne Po calling this album garbage, the irony

 

[yallayalla]

ya bish!

 

[iamjusayn]

Straight raw!

This dude says he wishes Kendrick was more like drake, whole argument is invalid now. I do agree that Kendrick is not currently a star, but to say he is boring is absurd to me. If you're the type of person who is not into lyricism and storytelling then yeah you are not going to like this album. However if you are into those things I think the album will definitely grab you quickly

 

[iamjusayn]

Black boy fly is straight crinack!

 

[iamjusayn]

After listening to Meek's album it made me appreciate GKMC even more. This dude Kendrick set the bar too damn high

Yeah man i was anticipating Meek's album n dude could have seriously held off longer and made something more soild. I'm feeling his mixtapes n features more than that album,

 

[niquefreak94]

While responding... 

noooo he PROBABLY means going into threads of artists he doesn't like just to tell everyone who does like them why you don't and how you don't understand how they can.

This is my opinion. Music is almost 100% subjective. Some times you hear things and you like it....it just sounds good to you. So i can understand people saying he is boring eh no thanks. I think the same thing about Jay-z and get flamed all the time. I was just bored by his monotone flow. Just kinda put me to sleep so i never really got into him.

But that being said I almost tried to hate this album due to all the hype and just couldn't. I am very pleased and impressed with this purchase. Well done Kendrick
