Duuuude freaking love Morricone. You guys familiar with his song from The Place Beyone Athens Pines? Google "Ninna Nanna Per Adulteri". Stupidly good stuff.

Anyone think maybe the "No U-Turn" sign on the streetlight pole he's balancing on is symbolic to the underlying meaning of this song/video? Maybe I'm reaching? But I don't know. I feel like Kendrick is intentional about everything you see in his music videos.

Also if you're curious what he is saying in that last verse during his BET performance (of course Genius is only guessing but still): http://genius.com/Kendrick-lamar-alright-bet-version-lyrics

Maybe Kendrick will ditch J Cole and collab with Chance? Please. Although a Cole/Kendrick effort would be cool and I can see it working really well, a Chance/Kendrick collab would make me foam at the mouth with excitement.

Also. You know Haribo is excited about this. Free advertisement. And from who better than the number one ad agent in America, Don Draper!

Duuuuuude. Thank you for mentioning Joey Bada$$! That album is amazing front to back. He spits fire all over the thing.

Also, I haven't listened to Kamasi Washington's 3 hr epic jazz beast yet, but I think once I have.... it'll be on my list. I listened to the first song today and thought, ok, whoa whoa whoa, I need to listen to this when I'm in the proper head space. It's a beast for sure.

Love this album so much. Really digging the concept he's weaving into his music videos surrounding it.

"Get Off My Lawn" sounds like a name that belongs to an old man eating Werther's and smoking a pipe on his front porch who yells "Get off my lawn, you little whippersnapper!!" at a Mormon walking up his driveway to maybe try to convert the poor, old, decrepit, cold-souled man. I digress. I'm pretty sure all the screenshots and step-by-step commentary on the incident was enough to make me think this isn't simply "jumping to conclusions" (which I don't know why I have that in quotation marks, do you? Hm.) I will say, however, I get tired of Stereogum posting stuff like this, because I want to hear about the artist's music. When I saw out of the corner of my eye Pusha T's name in this post's headline, I got excited for a split second that maybe a new track is out in support of his album rumored to drop this year. But nope. However, all this racism could help fuel energy put into whatever he puts out next. And if that's the case, that makes me all the more excited.

It's really funny you say that because on the little e.p. of bonus tracks that is running around on the internet, the song, "Wonderful Everyday: Arthur" has the theme song from the kid's show from PBS about everyone's favorite little aardvark. Other songs that were on it are "Sunday Candy", "Tap Dance", Coast Is Clear", "No Better Blues", I Am Very Very Lonely", and "Home Studio". They're some great songs worth "surfing" the internet for.... #dadjoke

Ha, I don't know how that would work out. Kanye's way too much on an ego art kick since before I could even drive a car (not really). Since before I could drink a beer legally. And Chance is just not of that mold to me at all. However, Kanye featured on the new A$AP Rocky made too much sense. There is so much swagger there. It worked really well. But maybe I'm wrong, maybe a Chanye collab would work well.

I can see what you're saying. I don't know how this record will hold up given time. The album is definitely consistent in its texture. The sound is all very much Donnie Trumpet (I know that may sound vague). I feel like at least a lot of the instrumentation of it sounds similar to a band playing a high school football half time show (which isn't a bad thing). It is very uplifting in that regard. And when it isn't necessarily upbeat, it is very ethereal and jazzy. I think it is the kind of album you have to let sit with you for a while and it might start feeling like it has direction. I don't know that I agree with you about Chance sounding disinterested or lazy though. You really can't compare it to Acid Rap. He approaches his vocals in an entirely different way. He's singing way more here and it seems to me like he's maybe had more vocal lessons since Acid Rap... who knows. It doesn't feel lazy to me, but that he's played down his charismatic, personality-filled caricature version of himself we hear on Acid Rap. I don't know though. That's just my feeling after the 2nd listen of this.

The first 19 mentioned appear multiple times as composers of various sorts: Chance The Rapper Nate Fox Nico Segal Peter Cottontale Eryn Allen Kane Francis Farewell Starlite Jeff Gittleman Stix Ady Suleiman Jamila Woods Jack Red JP Floyd C SICK Carter Lang BJ the Chicago Kid Amanda Bailey Dustin Green Lane Beckstrom Macie Stewart _________ B.o.B Big Sean Chuck Ellis D.R.A.M.

He actually lives in Montana these days. One of my friends who lives in Montana has actually become good friends with him strangely enough.

I'm with stereogumprofilename. I'm really just sick of the TMZ stories Stereogum is churning out these days. I come to your site to read about music. This website has seriously gone downhill in the past year or two.
