Ab Soul:
On being asked how the dynamic in the label changed after Kendrickās departure and its impact on him.
āI always romanticized the idea of us staying together forever. And I say this as Kendrick obviously being my brother, you know? I like how he put it. Thereās beauty in completion. And you know, I feel like he reached his space where he felt like he needed to embark on something else. I support him in whatever. Heās incredible. Heās an incredible artist and I support it. Iām behind it 100 percent.ā
Itās been more than one year now since Kendrick announced heās leaving TDE and starting his own venture with pg-lang ,a company that he founded with his longtime friend Dave Free. Ab-Soul was also asked if they both had a conversation about his departure to which he responded
āI feel like that kind of thing, it just kind of went unsaid just for the sake of making sure we remember the brotherhood first. That weāre brothers first and, you know? Heās still somebody that I can call on and vice versa. And thatās the most important thing versus us tryna get to the bottom of why he would start his own label or whatever have you. Our brotherhood is more important to me personally.ā
Imagine being Kendrick Lamarās go to producer

Love hearing this kinda s*** from Soulo
Iām curious when Q is doing media runs for his next album how he responds to these questions. For some reason I feel like he may not show as much love but I hope Iām wrong.

Kendrick and Top are still in business, they just signed a publishing contract December 2021. Kendrick just wanted to do his own thing for once outside of TDE with his best friend. They all brothers

Yeah no doubt
Iām sure Kendrick & Top are still good

The other TDE artist wonāt have much to say

Yeah that's why punch said too and I believe it. The bird gotta leave the nest at some point. Plus given how much Kendrick was really trying to change his personal life, being around them same folks in that same environment all the time could really throw him back into his bad habits
Fun TPAB Easter egg:

That's Tristan Wild holding the money and bending down
Holy s*** never realized tristan wild was on this cover
Ive recently embraced my truth that Kendrick Lamar is truly my favorite rapper of all time

Real

"And so he said "Why you gotta be so kind hearted?
Why you couldn't be a con artist? Why you couldn't?
Why you couldn't be mischievous or just a lil devious
The moment that we first started?
Why you never ask for nothing, just a lil time?
Why you let me use yours cus I don't got mine?
Why you always lift me up, when I'm completely giving up
Or when ** holla, "What's up?" you give a dry response?
Why you giving me your last knowing you ain't got it?
Why you always buy me something when you going shopping?
Why you tell me that you love me, Why you always thinking of me
Want my company rather than going club hopping?
Why you treating my momma like she your momma too?
Why you making promises that you'll forever do?
Whatever just to make me happy, wanting us to have a family
These are exactly the reasons why I cheat on you sometimes"
the ending lines on this song's verses always hit so hard

Song hits so hard when youāre living out that exact relationship too
Beautiful song
So is this Sampha song or something?

Song was made the same time as Father Time. Kendrick decided not to use it and gave it to Sampha who is supposed to put it on his new album

This my #1 album of his. Would love to get this type of music again. The personal messages and information shared throughout the album was well received
Pro tools session leaked too
