Kendrick Lamar: untitled unmastered Vinyl LP
$29.95
<p> </p> <p><i>Kendrick made a few TV appearances before and after</i> the release of <a href="http://www.turntablelab.com/products/kendrick-lamar-to-pimp-a-butterfly-vinyl-2lp" title="To Pimp A Butterfly Vinyl" target="_blank">To Pimp a Butterly</a>, and the then-unreleased tracks he chose to perform caused quite a stir: “Untitled 03” on <em>Colbert</em>, “untitled 08” and a snippet of “untitled 02” on <em>Fallon</em>, and another song - “untitled 05” that followed “The Black the Berry” and “Alright” during his Grammy performance. Everyone, including Lebron, wanted more, and although it’s unclear whether King James’ tweet to <a href="http://www.turntablelab.com/search?q=top+dawg" title="Top Dawg Entertainment Vinyl" target="_blank">TDE</a> and <a href="http://www.turntablelab.com/search?q=kendrick+lamar" title="Kendrick Lamar Vinyl" target="_blank">K.Dot</a> played a part, the world got <em>Untitled Unmastered</em> on March 4th (even <a href="http://www.turntablelab.com/search?q=thundercat" title="Thundercat vinyl" target="_blank">Thundercat</a>, who’s on 6 of the tracks, was surprised about the drop). Raw, intimate, and authentic, the avant-garde-free-jazz-soul-funk that defines <em>…Butterly</em> is all there, as is, needless to say, the socially charged, god-level bars from Kendrick Lamar. To make clear, this is NOT a throwaway album. The Compton rapper says: “I got a chamber of material from the album that I was in love [with] where sample clearances or something as simple as a deadline kept it off the album.” Pimp, pimp… hooray.</p> <ul> <li>black vinyl pressing</li> <li>music label: Top Dawg Entertainment 2016</li> </ul> <h6>reviewed by the_lighted 04/2016</h6>
