New single is awesome, always liked his style and flow, very unique and can install tell it's him.
Music Kendrick Lamar
- Thread starter ArmchairCritic
- Start date
Apparently Metro Boomin is on the album, Cardo too, Memphis producer the name of Teddy Walton as well. I can kind of see where this album is going and I dig it but you never quite know what Kendrick is scoping. There's nothing wrong with simplicity, an album full of trunk rattlers is most welcome.
Had Humble been on TPAB, it would have been my favourite song there.
Also Mike Will's drums never distort at high volume, put some respect on that man's name.
FWIW, it's no less complex than Still Dre. And that was one of the greatest rap songs of all time.
It's no less complex than most of the 'true great' rap tracks...
Mainstream U.S Rap has needed to regain a little of that original, gritty boom-bap punch for years, but in a contemporary way.
If Kendrick does actually drop a record of high quality bangers, he's so influential that it could, at last, equal a moving on from the spacious production, autotune chorus years.
Here's hoping.
We all agree the song is a bit shit, but why do people like the video?
Has anybody said that? Most seem to like it and even I've just said it's a bit too simple for Kendrick.
The video looks good, has a few interesting camera techniques and people with heads on fire. It's nothing groundbreaking but it is a good video.
Odd post all round.
Humble sounds a bit Eminem-ish and is a bit meh overall.
Music video felt a bit scatterbrained, don't really understand all the praise, it's no 90's Busta Rhymes video.
Play this on high volume in the car and tell me this dont bang!
I liked the song yesterday, i Love it today. The energy is amazing.

Tomorrow is April 7th 
tracklisting out?
I literally couldn't sleep last night (In NZ) because I was constantly having dreams about this album dropping and waking up realising it wasn't real 
What time does the album drop? I can't wait
Bitch, be humbleI literally couldn't sleep last night (In NZ) because I was constantly having dreams about this album dropping and waking up realising it wasn't real

I also had a nightmare that he had a track on the album with Rihanna. *shudder*
And in one of the dreams the album was called Bristol A Weekend
Oh my god a pre-order has gone up on iTunes saying April 14th release date.
Kill me.
Kill me.
U2 listed in credits. Enough reason to dislike it right there.
Will that track just get pushed to every iTunes account then?
Cock tease Kenny.
So ain't shit significant that happened?
FFS I kept waking up to check for the album and Kenny does this
We didn't get our shit together

I've been duped
I still pre-ordered though, eff it. Alchemist produced track?! Yes please

Sample most likely.
DJ Dahi and Sounwave handling most of the production on this. Alchemist has one beat, Cardo another, Mike Will has another beat, 9th Wonder has a beat too as does James Blake.
I'm not the biggest fan of Humble but the beat is the best thing about it. Really reminded me of this, but with 21st century production.
It doesn't fit at all, so it'd have never been on it.
Got this from r/HipHopHeads:
Surprised to see MikeWillMadeIt produce 3 tracks. Excited to listen to the James Blake track, should be dope. Soundwave produced Bitch Don't Kill My Vibe and MAAD City on GKMC and a few tracks on TPAB

Also, it was produced in 2017 and time travel hasn't been invented yet.
It's not even that good a song either, there's certainly better on TPAB.
Not in my opinion.
We've got our shit together a week early...oh well, was looking forward to that.
That's what you thought back in 2023
Apparently Humble was supposed to be released on the 7th but it got leaked early.
How does that fit in with the line about getting our shit together by the 7th?
The Heart Part 4 said "You got 'til April 7th to get your shit together", Humble was released on April 1st, a week earlier than expected.
Same thing happened with TPAB. When it was released on March 15th, 2015 there was a huge thing with his label being unhappy, that it was supposed to be the 23rd instead.

Album is called 'Damn'. Track list in the pic:
Riri and U2? Damn. Hoped for some rappers to be fair.
Meh album name, cover, track names and features.
Bit worried if I'm honest.
