I could never end a career if it never start A lot of heat.īefore you poke out your chest loosen your braīefore you step out of line and dance with a star Thankfully he doesn’t follow in his fathers steps and breathe all over the track. Supposedly Swizz Beatz and Alicia Keys’ 5 year old son produced this part. Now the second part of this track is the standout moment of this track for me. The first part of this track is catchy and Kendrick’s flow over this beat is hypnotic. Produced by Egypt, Daoud, Cardo, Yung Exclusive, Frank Dukes, & Swizz Beatz Cee-Lo is definitely the highlight on this track. The track feels very romantic and Kendrick’s flow on this is smooth. The sound and vibe is a bit similar though. Honestly, if this was mastered he could’ve switched this out with the “For Sale” interlude on To Pimp A Butterfly. Reinforcing this heat barking, these are the brakesīefore I blink do I see me before them pearly gates?įeaturing Cee-Lo Green Produced by Adrian Younge & Ali Shaheed MuhammadĬee-Lo Green. I’m sleep walkin’, I’m street stalkin’, I’m outta place I guess I’m lost, the cost of being successful is equal to being neglectfulĪnd just when you think it couldn’t get any better, Jay Rock comes in to eat. Studied the son of God, but still don’t recognize my flaws Punch delivers a very solid verse on this track as well. Now I’m drinking by myself, at the intersection parked Now I’m thinking to myself, hollow tips is all I got Once upon a time I used to go to church and talk to God? Why you wanna see a good man with a broken heart? Compared to the Grammys performance version, his flow is more slowed and kind of gives off a Gunplay-ish vibe. The first verse on this track is a piece of the untitled song he performed at the Grammys. Jumped into a pit of flames and burned to coalĭrowned inside the lake outside away you flow Somebody said you bumped your head and bled the floor And when Anna Wise’s vocals hit, that’s when it snatches my soul. I love how this track kicks off with that killer bass, bless you Thundercat, but when the horns and piano keys come in that’s when it catches me entirely. Jay Rock’s contribution on this is tight also.įeaturing Anna Wise, Jay Rock, & Punch Produced by Terrace Martin I feel like a mastered version of this could’ve fit somewhere on To Pimp A Butterfly as an interlude or something.

What I’m taking from it is, he’s portraying the voice in the back of his head that second guesses himself. Kendrick’s whispering vocals on this track feel so sinister. I like how they’re synchronized over Kendrick’s vocals.ĭo you believe in God? If you don’t it’s cool. Not that I dislike her music or anything, I just don’t flock to it like others. I loved the aggression that built up in his voice and the closing bridge of “We don’t die, we multiply”. That being said, I still enjoy this track a lot.įeaturing Jay Rock & SZA Produced by Bizness Boi I prefer the live version of this track over the actual studio quality version. The black man says he needs a woman to invoke lust or hunger. The Asian says he needs to use his mind or have patience. Killer track.įeaturing Anna Wise, Bilal, Terrace Martin, & Thundercat Produced by Astronote This version he delivers the verse more calmly, yet it feels so much darker over this production and it fits so well. The second verse on here is a piece of the untitled track he performed on Jimmy Fallon, specifically the final verse. Kendrick’s flows on this like he’s possessed and the production is so haunting. I guess I’m running in place tryna make it to church I love that line about him pulling out his resume and telling God he made To Pimp A Butterfly for him. Once you make it through that you jump right into the fray of doomsday and Kendrick is rhyming like a mad spazzing scientist.Ītheist for suicide, planes falling out the skyīackpedalling Christians settling for forgivenessĮvidence all around us the town is covered in fishes Opening track starts off sounding like dialogue from one of your uncle’s hidden bootleg porno flicks.
