[cobl04]

[LemonMelon]

I just want to reiterate how wonderful this performance is:

[nielsgov]

This album, I swear.

 

[cobl04]

It's the pleats in my pants...

 

[LemonMelon]

That outro oh my God

 

[LemonMelon]

If this tweet is anything to go by, the album is finished:

 

[cobl04]

is that reputable?

 

[LemonMelon]

Probably. She's a relatively well-known actress (one of the leads on Empire), must be friends with Kendrick.

 

[nielsgov]

This is going to be good.

 

[Cancer45]

Boy this could be 2012 all over again ab-soul is coming out with his debut long-term 3, Jay Rock is supposed to come out with an album, schoolboy tweeted he is finishing his upcoming album, and then there's the king of the west kendrick. Man black hippy has a chance to truly dominant this year. HIIIPOWER

 

[cobl04]

so according to a link he just tweeted this is out in just over two weeks....

 

[Cancer45]

Now I see why soul drop 47 barz last weekend

 

[LemonMelon]

Gahhhhhh

 

[Cancer45]

This a rumored cover and the rumored title is HOW TO PIMP A BUTTERFLY: 12 HOMIES AT WHITE HOUSE

 

[Cancer45]

This a rumored cover and the rumored title is HOW TO PIMP A BUTTERFLY: 12 HOMIES AT WHITE HOUSE

Edit: this will be the cover and title of the album

Sidenote: album title is to pimp a butterfly

 

[LemonMelon]

The cover is cool. I hope the title is just "How to Pimp a Butterfly" or "To Pimp a Butterfly."

 

[LemonMelon]

In case anyone was wondering whether or not the singles we've heard made the cut, this has floated around for a minute:

1. Tenth Circle of Hell
2. Poisoned Youth
3. Watching the World Burn
4. Fade Away
5. i (Extended Version)
6. Purgatory
7. Blood in the Streets (feat. Anna Wise)
8. Heaven's Choir (Interlude)
9. Stranger
10. Black Mamba
11. Fall Through Time (feat. George Clinton)
12. Prayers from Africa
13. The Blacker the Berry
14. Savior of the Tribes
15. King Kunta
16. The Revolution Is Live (feat. Pete Rock)

Bonus tracks:

Stand Down
We Don't Die
The Heart Part 4

 

[cobl04]

Wonder if that will hold to be true. I'm a little disappointed that the song he premiered on Colbert with Thundercat will probably be We Don't Die and thus only a bonus track.

 

[LemonMelon]

Blood in the Streets is the only track that features Anna Wise, so that could be it.

 

[cobl04]

No lyrics from the performance suggest that though, whereas the phrase "we don't die" is repeated several times at the end...

 

[bono_212]

Many times I've seen a bonus track have lyrical connections to other songs, though. Could be a similar theme, similar track, etc.

 

[cobl04]

That's true. Will wait for confirmation, that looks a wee bit dodgy.

Shout out to the forum kanyetothe.com for the Scans

 

[LemonMelon]

Thanks for those, I'll read the RS interview over when I have a sec.

Looks like it may be 16 tracks, so the back cover above might be accurate on that front at least, plus track 13 remains TBTB:

KTT

 

[LemonMelon]

The Kendrick thread literally doing a page a minute right now.

 

[cobl04]

To Pimp a Butterfly is such a cool fucking title. Just reading that RS blurb this will be AOTY.

 

[LemonMelon]

01 Wesley's Theory
02 For Free? (Interlude)
03 King Kunta
04 Institutionalized
