Here are the five best tracks from the album, which comes highly recommended.Album ( Page Link ) Song ( Page Link ) ( Partial Lyrics ) 1 1.All The Stars(& SZA) Kendrick Lamar-All The Stars1.All The Stars(&. The loose, unfinished nature of these sometimes goofy tracks is often their greatest strength. makes it clear why and how Lamar’s mind works like no one else’s in hip-hop at the moment, by stripping away some of its finery. These songs have enough detail to furnish repeated listening - and are strangely infectiousness despite their often avant-garde leanings. More amazing is how naturally these dovetailed, fractured, and incomplete, but soulful bromides make a coherent suite of music. Listening to Lamar indulge his strangest, sometimes least typically “hip-hop” ideas here documents what an ungreased, first spark of Kendrickspiration sounds like. Still, it manages to be nearly as good, if not better, pursuing TPAB’s general train of musical thought, but inflecting in a more playful sensibility. is an ostensible compilation of outtakes from that album’s lengthy sessions, and much more concise and immediate. Last Friday’s new/old Lamar project - untitled unmastered. It features not just Lamar’s typical lyrical veracity and nu-’90s musical sensibility, but epic poetry, knotty jazz combo arrangements, and dense political and sociological tirades that could inspire anyone to burn their high school American history textbooks. The 80-minute LP was an unwieldy, ambitious force of nature, which inspired unequivocal praise before anyone could have possibly sorted through its endless nuances. Compton rapper Kendrick Lamar’s Grammy-snubbed 2015 album To Pimp a Butterfly is hard to parse.
