I can't link videos while on my phone but it's on YouTube and it's fucking amazing.

Wait, there's a video for a scrapped song but not his first single?

Sort it out, Aftermath.

Apparently it's now a single because it had a load of popularity.

This should be the single. The Recipe was the only song by K Dot where I said "Ugh, I don't like this".. This, however, is such a great song and the average fans of mainstream music will also dig this due to the subject matter of drinking alcohol.

Kendrick Lamar truly is the only rapper out who can tell such a vivid, intriguing, thought-provoking story with a craftful rhyme structure while also making incredibly addicitng and catchy music with the beats and hooks. I love him.

ADHD, The Spiteful Chant, and this are three of the greatest hooks I have ever heard. His voice is so hypnotizing that I always don't even listen to the lyrics the first time I listen to his music.

Great video for a good song. Hope Kendrick really blows up with his album.

This is doing pretty good on iTunes Hip-Hop/Rap charts. It's at 8 and peaked at 4. Also, you can Dre added those strings at the end and in parts of the song. Dre is been more active lately as well if you think about it. Honestly, Kendrick hasn't disappointed me once yet, I love all of his songs. BTW, love the video.

Yeah, at first it wasn't but it was put on the album due to the popularity it had gained. It's on the album.

I find it weird how they've been sitting on The Recipe video for two months but this video was ready to go a couple of weeks after the song came out (probably started before the song came out judging by the cover, which is the smart thing to do). The Recipe video's probably done, why haven't they put it out yet? It would be nice to see Dre in a video which isn't an erotic ode by Eminem to a fish tank-bound Dre.

I think they are going to put it in the deluxe edition of the album or something when it's released.
