So crazy I'm watching The Mack a day after hearing the album and the racist detectives used Hip Hip Horay in a scene. I flipped hearing that... untitled is a piece of art. Peep the sound bite

This is insane. 

Egypt (Son of Swizz and Alicia Keys) produced that tune on track 7. Can even hear Kendrick give him the shoutout "Young Egypt" during the actual song.

Nice interview with kendricks producer


http://www.complex.com/music/2015/11/terrace-martin-kendrick-lamar-to-pimp-a-butterfly-interview

dope.

"What’s the difference between the blackness of To Pimp a Butterfly versus the blackness of, say, If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late? Drake’s sound is built upon Jodeci, Timbaland, Aaliyah, and that’s all black music, too.
It’s all black. I think there’s a small, but huge, difference. Kendrick and Drake are both excellent artists, both amazing, both gifted, both anointed, both prolific—they’re both great.

I need the music to tell me a story just like I need the lyrics to tell me a story. With Drake, musically, it’s hard for me to believe what he says over that particular bed of music because his music doesn’t really breathe. It loops a lot. Which is beautiful, I love it, it’s perfectly fine. But musically, it doesn’t tell me a story that adds another level to the lyricism. I believe that everything as a whole needs to be great, not just the words. That doesn’t mean you have to play jazz or blues, or that you have to add a saxophone. It just means I want more dynamism, musically, because life is dynamic."

I pulled that quote out not becuase he talking Drake, but because he is explaining perfectly one huge reason why I like Kendrick music. The beat, sometimes melodies evolve. Its given life and grows/changes as the story grows. Like the score to a film versus a flat looped beat that has no life to it.

A lot of cats are simple minded though, hence why I see some people actually say "Drake is better than Kendrick" because their minds can't comprehend the art and complexities that Kendrick portrays in his music. I like Drake's music, but Kendrick is able to relate to the human struggle a lot more. People gonna say "But Drake started from the bottom herp derp", but that's just a bunch of hot air. Dude never grew in the projects where the cops and government is always against your community on a daily basis. But eh, different strokes for different people I guess.

lol at chilling with your homies, and pre-gaming to go out music being your requisites for hiphop.

Is that really you, Taj Gibson, from Brooklyn? Chicago Bulls player. 

Yeah I'm taking time out a busy NBA schedule, securing a spot in the playoffs, to post on Niketalk.com about Kendrick Lamar.
