J Cole. Or Drake. Maybe all three on the same track

Saw a tweet trending on my twitter for some reason
Man this is a laughably bad ranking of his best songs
Wesley Theory ranked below Poetic Justice
Untitled 2? Humble? Backseat f***ing Freestyle at NUMBER 2???
What would be the most surprising yet most satisfying feature this can get?
Would love Nas on here
If it has to be a book/play/big concept thing I want a big name to narrate it. Like Slick Rick at the very least. Denzel Washington at the top of the list
I donât want any narration or skits, I want Kendrick to show he can drive a narrative without that stuff that isnât as replayable
Denzel is not a crazy guess tbh, if Morgan Freeman narrated Savage Mode 2 everything is possible
Itâs honestly crazy that we got a 21 Savage album narrated by Morgan Freeman.
Kendrick has no choice but to go for Denzel if he ever needs a narrator for an album

No living feature more surprising than Frank at this point I guess, and no one would be mad at that.
Next thought was Rih if he didn't already have her on DAMN.

Yeah I would prefer not to have that kind of stuff on the album overall, I don't think he needs the crutches

Kendrick has entire albums where each track is better than Backseat Freestyle.

Those songs ainât getting the response Backseat Freestyle getting at a live show though.

Lupe hardly ever has to rely on skits or narration, as a result it doesn't affect the replay value of tracks and the listener can think for themselves as opposed to having "help" with grasping the concept

Skits and narration has been apart of hip hop forever. They donât hurt replay value.
GKMC is literally the longest charting album in hip hop history and has skits lol
Letâs dead that narrative.

Appropriate setting. It'd be kinda nuts to be growling "BIAAAAATCHHHH" all alone in the crib.
this is exactly what i've been thinking...
the fact that he's promoting it via the pglang site, and other stuff too, makes me think it's gonna be one (last) album for TDE, and the other album for pglang.
since he owns pglang with dave free, it's almost like he's going independent, so he would kill two birds with one stone.
anyway, i'm just excited about it, and i hope it lives up to the MASSIVE hype.
You know it will, Iâm just happy weâre getting music from him a lot has happened in the world since 2017

My point. It isnât a matter of better but setting. Backseat freestyle wasnât made to do what songs on TPAB were made to do.

I'd be fine if this time around Kendrick split the spoken word parts into a separate tracks, like in the style of Drogas Wave or have it briefly at the end like TPAB. Otherwise I get annoyed by it

I donât get annoyed by things like that lol. So many albums that have zero skits and narration bro lol.
Man on the moon without common just doesnât feel the same IMO

This performance singlehandedly made me 19736 times more hyped for this album bro. i really love this look and the whole performance itself just seemed special, seemed like kendrick changed into a whole new dude with a newfound purpose

To each their own, either way I'm hyped for this record and no doubt he'll deliver with a classic

I feel you I always thought that song sucked tho even in 2012
Backseat Freestyle ranked #2
GKMC would be a flawless album without Backseat Freestyle and Real hook
