he sat down at his compaq presario desktop station, opened up his tidal web client, cracked his knuckles, and went to work on adding those tracks

still in shock at this album and it's place in today's music.

that's weird i think you c&p'd the wrong link in there instead of a loop of Travis Scott going "STRAIGHT UP"

some dude, Wednesday, 1 April 2015 22:12 (eleven years ago)

the "king kunta" video actually has me appreciating this album way more now

'Alright' reminds of the soundtrack of the first katamari game (´ヮ`)

Arctic Noon Auk, Thursday, 2 April 2015 16:38 (eleven years ago)

oh man that video is great

west coast hood videos are always the best hood videos imo

kurt kobaïan (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Thursday, 2 April 2015 23:09 (eleven years ago)

no one is touching him now. the first 5 lines of his first verse on king kunta takes him 20 seconds. the way he rides this beat with the confidence to let these big groove silences between lines and pull it off like this? in fact how he approaches his "verses" creatively in general on this album is as progressive as anyone has got since, idk

itrulybelieve he's reinventing rap in some way with this album

and showing artist growth like I didn't think existed anymore

im impressed that you've managed a 180 on all of your opinions, v deft switcheroo there

"motherfucker, you can LIVE at the mall" is my favorite line anyone's written for the devil in ages

deej loaf (D-40), Sunday, 5 April 2015 03:00 (eleven years ago)

I feel like the whole devil thing works amazingly well for something that should be cheesy in theory

Van Horn Street, Sunday, 12 April 2015 21:59 (eleven years ago)

the album is too

The burrito of ennui (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Sunday, 12 April 2015 22:54 (eleven years ago)

OTM, one thing this VERY IMPORTANT and VERY POLITICAL and VERY BLACK and VERY CONCEPT-ORIENTED album doesn't get enough credit for is being fun
twenty or so spins later, it's a surprising comfort listen with very few cuts (i'm looking at you "for free" and "i")

Premise ridiculous. Who have two potato? (forksclovetofu), Monday, 13 April 2015 01:42 (eleven years ago)

yeah i think his sense of humor and playfulness and ear for hooks come out in this album much more than GKMC

some dude, Monday, 13 April 2015 01:49 (eleven years ago)

Boo boo!

Οὖτις, Monday, 13 April 2015 01:50 (eleven years ago)

xp i agree. I love good kid but engaging in that narrative got exhausting after awhile. This one feels strikingly less overbearing.

I can't lie; even though he's supposedly done releasing albums I kinda hope Weird Al drops a Mario-themed KK parody called 'King Koopa'

Daukins (Arctic Noon Auk), Monday, 13 April 2015 18:13 (eleven years ago)

thank you for the update from the streets

some dude, Monday, 13 April 2015 18:17 (eleven years ago)

i assume you are getting your news about how the hip hop world feels about this album from mike skinner, right

some dude, Monday, 13 April 2015 18:18 (eleven years ago)

it's already been a whole month, when will hip hop recover????

Οὖτις, Monday, 13 April 2015 18:20 (eleven years ago)

people are dying out there

Kendrick Lamar doesn't care about black people!

There's more black people in Montana than ILM's history. This board is as white as it's background.

Daukins (Arctic Noon Auk), Tuesday, 14 April 2015 13:34 (eleven years ago)

yeah, you're right there are fewer than 4,000 black posters on this board
