Kendrick Lamar - DAMN. (April 14, 2017) Album • Page 9

Track 11 very clearly has the members of U2 haha

 

U2 collab/sample on track 11

James Blake collab on track 4

The Alchemist produces track 12

 

Track 11 is sampling Adam Clay2000pounds and the son of Larry Mullen Sr.???

 

Also, at the very least we can never trust another terrible fantasy booked "leaked tracklist" again.

 

Bad Bad Not Good also apparently on one track

I really did learn the U2 member names apparently, wow

 

This reference did not fall on deaf ears!

Needless to say, super interested to hear the U2 collaboration/sample. But damn, can't believe this didn't actually come out today.

 

Damn, and I put all this effort into getting my shit together. Still holding out hope that we'll wake up to a new album tomorrow.

 

I wonder if it was actually meant to release tonight or if this was always the plan? Seems very odd to hype an album release date announcement like this so I'm assuming the former

 

Disappointing, but I can wait another week.

 

I wonder what Bonobos thinks of Kendrick

 

I would bet that it was intended to be today. Kendrick doesn't seem like the kind of guy to hype a pre-order. Perhaps he went all Kanye and wanted to make some last minute changes / artwork wasnt ready / etc etc.

 

Damn

 

His camp just couldn't get their shit together in time.

 

My god; he wasn't talking to us; he was talking to his camp the whole time

 

I'd rather wait a week than him releasing an incomplete piece of work and constantly having to revise it like TLOP.

 

I hope there's a new U Talkin' U2 2 Me just to discuss the U2 collab

 

First they gotta get their big, juicy butts in the studio.

 

According to Top Dawg Entertainment twitter, Humble was intended to drop today at the time IV was recorded, so that's what getting our shit together was referring to.

 

Not sure if I believe that.

 

rule 1:

never trust any of top dawg management at all

 

seems...... wrong

 

The worst part of this delay is that it pushes SZA's album back even more.

 

Yea I'd call bullshit. I believe they fully intended to drop the record today and it hit some sort of jump in the road. Perhaps one day we'll get the full story. I mean how hard would it have been just to hold HUMBLE an extra week?

 

IIRC the Humble artwork leaked and then the track came out that same day so I could maybe buy the story that it wasn't supposed to come out until today. Maybe they just released it early as a result of the art leak?
