TDE Working on Short Film To Complement GKMC

That's not the only visual element Kendrick has planned. Part of good kid's appeal are the cinematic skits that piece the album's music together, so to play off of the album's strengths the TDE crew are working on a film that will complement the LP as well. "We actually started the visuals for this whole project," he said. "I called it a short film before I even started the actual foundation of the music."

Album of the year, what more can I say?

I'm probably the biggest Nas fan/stan on this forum, but Life Is Good just can't compete with this masterpiece.

God damn.

[Mr. Porter]

My stupid ass iTunes deleted all my plays for this album. I like looking at how much I've played each song too. Same thing happened with Channel Orange and a couple other random songs. Did this happen to anyone else?

[ImANoob]

i dont show my plays because it makes me feel awkward about not listening all the way through and not counting the play
