I don’t see the connection with the top row

That new leak definitely not as “rough” as some of y’all is saying trying to lie to yourselves.

Normally when someone is tryna test out flows and ideas it’s more so mumbles and s*** like that and random words. This s*** is actually written out and structured

Now not saying it won’t change, but I think if that song is being released it’s a pretty solid indication of how it sounds.

It grew on me tho. I like that very first part and the end

It’s sucks though and still feels unfinished, hope it remains in the vault

Well yeah unfinished, technically everything is unfinished until it officially releases (except Ye)

But niggas in here making it sound like “oh Kendrick was just bs’ing trying different ideas to find a flow”

Lmaoooo nah that’s clearly not what the leak indicates.

The element leak or the shaolin temple?

Most of his demos that have leaked sound exactly the same. Look at his stuff for Kanye. Or his hook on all the stars or element. They change drastically over time.

I f*** with the leak but I hope hooks like that first one aren't on the album, reminds me of X off Black Panther. Could be a good song but idk about Kendrick album tier song.

Element

No way that ends up on the album you know kendrick gonna do some different s***

sounds like mackwop pretty much confirmed it being on it

Ill believe it when i see it and if it is I'm sure itll be way more fleshed out, some potential but not good enough to be on a kendrick album

Ive had “Too many opinions in the glass house, this world full of ego lemme cashout” stuck in my head since the PGLang video dropped. i need some new kendrick NOW

I thought that was a confirmed fake and someone just put they own beat over his vocals?

I’ve never seen any information about it being fake. It was in a batch leak with a lot of other songs.

Idk bro. S*** don’t sound sus to you? Like even the vocals doesn’t exactly match the beat perfectly like the album version.

S*** definitely sounds like some fan made s***

I always thought it was fan made but I haven’t gotten confirmation. But regardless I remember terrace Martin or sounwave saying the original was very jazzy and Ali and kendrick changed it to what it was.

Yeah it was Tae Beast or Sounwave, they said that the song was changed like 5 times

Word yeah I read that too.

How many songs on Damn you think Kendrick originally wrote to a different beat than what we got on the album?

Not many. I do think a lot of the beats are reworked though. Like Pride sounds a different but it just seems more produced.
Before it was acoustic

I knew Anna Wise wrote the hook but did she already have her own version out before Kendrick did Pride?

I was under the impression she wrote the song for Kendrick rather than it originally being her own solo song

No she released it some months after

Oh word ok. But regardless I know she wrote it. That’s cool.

Any examples of Kendrick taking a song that was already out and reworking it into his own Version?

Kinda like what he did wit “Momma” on Knxwledge “Sorts” beat

Or Kanye with Lost in the world

She said she wrote it on twitter before the album came out.

No the only two times kendrick hasn’t made a song from scratch was live where he added verses and pride where he added verses
