Swimming Polls (Drank) - Kendrick Lamar

Postby Man1x » Jul 13th, '12, 21:57

Just when we all began to figure that it was going to be a relatively quiet Friday full of HipHopDX leaking out more Nas tracks and people chalking up Beanie Sigel's jail time, Kendrick decides to flip the mood as usual by serving us another track from his upcoming album good kid m.A.A.d city to go along with "Cartoon & Cereal" and "The Recipe."

I have no opinion, I haven't heard it yet. I hope it's fantastic though.

"'...Taking the opportunity to touch up some tracks, he operates as his own engineer, pressing record a few bars early and then sprint hopping back into the vocal booth to lay his own vocals. Produced by Drake affiliate T-Minus, the track sounds a lot like, well, a Drake song with its bluntly emotional fluttering synths. It’s a record that could fit in quite comfortably on current day rap radio and yet Lamar seems a little embarrassed to be playing it in mixed company, perhaps recalling the fourth law of Top’s manifesto: Uniqueness. He emphatically points out that the track is not intended for his forthcoming album. It is, instead, “some freelance shit.” Then he plays a different track, one that is decidedly Kendrick Lamar....'"

This was from an interview. I'm glad this won't be on good kid, m.A.A.d city for the same reason that Kendrick Lamar noted above. I love the song, but it isn't 100% unique. I'm glad he was thinking about the fans when he put it out for free though. Mad respect for him on that move. I wonder if this will be released on iTunes and played on the radio though, it seems like it would have done well.

See Black Hippy cares about their fans, they give out free music like this periodically. Take notes Slaughterhouse.

Meh
I wanted an album so rugged nobody could touch it.
Spent a million a track and went over my budget.
Now how in the fuck am I supposed to get out of debt?
I can't rap anymore, I just murdered the alphabet.

This is dope. Only parts I don't like is the "sit down, drank, stand up, drank, pass out, drank, wake up, drank" vocal thing. Song would be better without that :/
