FloorFiller Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 just saw it. i didn't expect it this soon at all. man i am pumped for this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EighteenSixty7 Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 This first quarter has been ridiculous, stretch it back to December and the albums have been flowing in. Kendrick and Bronson in the same week, brilliant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloorFiller Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 from the looks of the iTunes tracklist 'i' hasn't made the cut and will probably be a bonus track like i thought Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloorFiller Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 also the last song is 12 minutes long. ohhhhh mama Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kendrick and Bronson in the same week, brilliant. Oh shit, Bronson's got a new one out soon as well? Fantastic. Cannot wait for Kendrick. His tour dates make him extremely unlikely but there's still a chance, isn't there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rose-Colored Boy Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 (edited) from the looks of the iTunes tracklist 'i' hasn't made the cut and will probably be a bonus track like i thoughtThat's a shame but not a total surprise no. I don't think Melody Calling will make the new Vaccines record either Edit: Actually just looked again and track three is 3:54, two seconds longer than i, so that might well be it.

Not expecting it though. Edited March 7, 2015 by Zac Quinn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostdancer1 Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 factmag seem to think it' a double album, and is actually called [untitled].... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt42 Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 The more I listen to the blacker the berry the more I like it. Didn't think much of it at first... But I think I've felt the same about most of kendrick's songs, they are all growers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dentalplan Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 (edited) Yeah, needs to be in Europe for the Thursday and Saturday after Glasto so isn't impossible he could fly in early after his Saturdau night LA gig to be at Glasto on the Sunday. Not expecting it though. I think it's more or less impossible for him to play Sunday with time differences and flights and all that. There's a very unlikely scenario where could do Friday, fly back to play in LA on Saturday night, be over in Poland for Wednesday and London on Saturday but then fly back again to New Orleans on Sunday. If you take Glasto out of that (as he has no European dates prior to that) then it seems a lot simpler.

EighteenSixty7 Posted March 13, 2015 Report Share Posted March 13, 2015 King Kunta has leaked. I've only listened once and I don't want to listen anymore. It's different, quite funky infact. Had me head bobbing and toe tapping. Can't wait now. *sticks Section.80 on* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dentalplan Posted March 13, 2015 Report Share Posted March 13, 2015 That was awesome. That first verse in particular. That, Blacker the Berry and i on the same (extended) album is pretty wild as they're completely different hip hop tracks to one another. Gonna be a hell of an album. So excited now.

Gonna be a hell of an album. So excited now. That's the only downside of these leaks - individually, the tracks are fantastic (especially 'i', the best hip hop track I've heard in quite a while) but I almost want to experience them first as part of the whole piece of art this is shaping up to be.

dentalplan Posted March 14, 2015 Report Share Posted March 14, 2015 I love the nod to Smooth Criminal. Probably added it last minute to replace a Marvin Gaye lyric. That's the only downside of these leaks - individually, the tracks are fantastic (especially 'i', the best hip hop track I've heard in quite a while) but I almost want to experience them first as part of the whole piece of art this is shaping up to be. You don't have to listen to them. i was pretty much unavoidable but you could have not heard the others until the album came out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winslow Leach Posted March 15, 2015 Report Share Posted March 15, 2015 Woke up this morning with a ludicrous amount of hype for this album. Bring it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt42 Posted March 15, 2015 Report Share Posted March 15, 2015 Not a massive fan of 'i' but King Kunta and The Blacker The Berry are fantastic songs i'm very very excited for this album. If the released songs are setting any sort of precedent, if he doesn't win a Grammy for this i'l be mad. Not that it really matters, but he was seriously robbed of a Grammy with his first album.

Amy Lawn Posted March 15, 2015 Report Share Posted March 15, 2015 Look at the Grammys' track record for this sort of thing, he wont win. That's ok, why does it matter to anybody whether or not Kendrick is given this completely pointless award that is decided by a small group of out of touch money men who have a history of dishing out awards to the most stunted shit music being made? Every once in a while they give it to somebody good like Arcade Fire, but they are completely adverse to anything new or inventive 99% of the time. In 30 years time, some kid will put out an album that apes Kendrick under the guise of it being "a sincere love letter to his influences", it'll sound watered down and safe and boring, that'll win a Grammy.

dentalplan Posted March 15, 2015 Report Share Posted March 15, 2015 (edited) Kendrick got two Grammys last month and nothing has changed for him. He won't win next year either with Drake and probably Jay Z in the mix. Not a single fuck will be given. Also if Macklemore & Ryan Lewis never won the Grammy we wouldn't have had that hilarious text that Macklemore sent Kendrick and posted on Instagram, so I'm glad.

Matt42 Posted March 15, 2015 Report Share Posted March 15, 2015 Completely forgot about the presence of Drake yeah Kendrick / Kanye has unfortunately lost already I don't really mind him, but I find it very interesting how well Drake is marketed, there is always so much attention on everything he does - even if the albums are stale, they are treated as if they are a rarity and every album is a massive event!
