This just one example of why “Fuck the Big 3” makes sense. No rapper from Kendrick’s generation even comes close.
Cartoons & Cereal was definitely for the original GKMC but okay
he was very adamant that we’ve never heard a song from the original cause he has the original mix that was passed to the homies lmfao
The reason i can only put so much stock in it is he would have to be plugged in to what leaks to know what we heard. I just mean for that one quote idk how serious i take it, since we clearly heard a few songs that were from A version of the album. It might not be the one Ali is talking about but yeah
I’m sure there is an entire version him and Dot worked that never saw a professional studio to be leaked that is strictly just for them at this point in time and even then after Dre started working on it lmfao. this reality is very possible, since Ali literally said it’s true, please be able to believe it lmao
not all music leaks.
he was very adamant that we’ve never heard a song from the original cause he has the original mix that was passed to the homies lmfao
a lot of engineers say that about unreleased when the leak was just a mix they didn’t like
Dot’s scraps better than virtually everyone’s best work.
Man I would love to hear the early iterations of GKMC. Like what was Cartoons and Cereal on?
there’s an entire version of GKMC that they (the homies) all have that doesn’t exist anywhere else. that s*** is allegedly better than the official album lmao
the version we got is entirely different and rebuilt with Dre
I’ve heard some songs from that version and it probably ain’t better.
Would be cool if Kendrick and Thom linked up musically, they have a mutual collaborator in Flying Lotus. I wonder why they didn't clear the sample, assuming that that's the reason it wasn't released.
This song feels similar to this track that came out around the Section 80 era

Check your IG DM's I sent you a DM about an interview you might wanna do (Baby Keem's brother)
"Yeah i was around that corner.."
Sound like he was about to break into tpab style poem lol
i wouldnt trade this for any of the songs on GKMC but its still cool to hear full songs that never saw the light of day. he must have so many tracks like this
It’s always something hearing these sorts of leaks and thinking about him resisting the urge to reuse lines and bars for finished releases.
