Album Background

Kendrick Lamar almost doesn't need an introduction at this point, but it could be helpful to put it all in context. Kendrick Lamar is a Compton rapper born in 1987. He grew up on Tupac, NWA, and Snoop Dogg, but was also raised on a healthy dose of the classics like the Isley Brothers and George Clinton from his parents. His first album, managed by Top Dawg Entertainment but released independently, was Section.80 and it came out in 2011, one year after his breakout mixtape O(verly) D(edicated). The album sold only 9,000 units in its first two weeks.

Kendrick Lamar exploded onto the mainstream in 2012 with his critically lauded and commercially explosive major label debut album good kid, m.A.A.d city. The album sprung onto the charts at #2 and sold around 225,000 copies first week, dwarfing S.80's sales. Here, Kendrick took an old school West Coast sound that we all knew and updated it for the modern era, all the while telling the story of one turbulent, violent, gang-influenced night in his hometown.

In terms of studio albums, Kendrick then went on a hiatus for about 3 and a half years before finally releasing his major-label follow-up, critically acclaimed, and even more commercially successful, To Pimp a Butterfly. This album saw a major switch-up in Kendrick's style, demonstrating his proficiency at rapping over a wide array of beats from soul to funk to jazz, and this time his lyrics focus on topics broader than himself. Although the narrative still largely takes the shape of following the events of Kendrick's life as he becomes disillusioned with life as a star as he sees his status corrupt his character, the themes of the story have wide reaching implications for the black condition in America in 2015.

Now. That album is over. Everyone's expecting to wait another 2-3 years for another Kendrick project. We're all satisfied with that behemoth of an album he's just given us. And then, out of nowhere... BOOM: untitled unmastered. This is a pseudo-studio-quality collection of songs that Kendrick had been performing on late night shows and in concert, continuing the same general musical aesthetic from Butterfly, though we're not removed from the Kendrick narrative we found there and the instrumentation is a bit more modernized in parts of this project than it is on his last album.


Review

Kendrick begins to set up his philosophy on this album by starting off the narrative in the middle of the Biblical Judgement Day. He talks about this, the day he is experiencing, being "the final calling" with no birds in the skies or dogs in front yards, and that everyone is walking around in nervous disbelief because "[their] belief's the reason for all this". The way they acted in their lives is why they haven't already ascended to Heaven and that scares them because, since "life [is] no longer infinity," because today is the last day, they can't change anything.

Kendrick spends much of this song setting the stage of how truly awful this scene is, but at the end describes himself being confronted by God and, dispite doing everything he was supposed to have done for God in his opinion, he is denied entry into Heaven. Kendrick doesn't understand why he is meant to be stuck here on Earth, but it certainly seems he doesn't believe that he deserves to be here.

It doesn't take long, though, for Kendrick to start begging God for that golden ticket. On "untitled 02" Kendrick is now stuck here in the apocalypse with no way out. He's suffering the consequences of whatever it is he really did wrong in life. He equates his situation to that of a person in jail, saying that he's "stuck inside the belly of the beast". He calls out and begs for God to answer him, but as he continues to do this and gets no answer, he eventually just calls for Top Dawg, the head of TDE, Kendrick's label. He calls for his friends and begins to just have fun with his money and with women and with life. He feels abandoned, both Kendrick in the apocalypse and Kendrick in the jail cell, neither getting any sign that God cares about them.

Of all the songs in the "narrative" of this album, "untitled 03," "untitled 08," and "untitled 06" don't fit the literal narrative very cohesively, though they do thematically connect to the album as a whole. Sonically, the organ and the backing vocals on "03" totally match the soul-jazz-funk vibe he's had going for the whole record and for Butterfly before it. But narratively it doesn't fit quite perfectly. Kendrick addresses some racial stereotypes of an Asian, Indian, Black, and White man. He gains advice from the Asian and Indian, he understands what not to do from the Black man's stereotype, and he understands what type of people to avoid from the White man. Then we get a triumphant scream from Bilal toward the end of the track where he says that "[he] will enjoy the fruits of [his] labor if [he] gets free today". Here, as well as on the last track, we see Kendrick making a turn away from religion and ideology and toward emphasizing the importance of making happy himself and those he loves.

As "Mortal Man" was on Butterfly, "Compton" was on good kid, and "HiiiPower" was on Section.80, "untitled 08" seems to be our "outro while the credits roll" song on untitled. The narrative and themes that Kendrick wanted to address at the beginning of the album seem to have been address and brought to a conclusion with a bow on top, and we've got one final, admittedly still very good, song with some of the best verses and flows on the whole album about the impact money does and should have on our mood and our demeanor. On top of having some great lyricism, the beat is unbeatably funky and bouncy.

On "untitled 06," both Kendrick and Cee Lo Green explore (as horrifically cliched as it sounds) the duality of man. Kendrick mentions, as he has many times in his music, that he's a Gemini and that this makes him accutely aware of the dual persona he lives and the two paths he has to take at all time: the righteous or the self-satisfactory. Here again we're hopping out of the narrative as we did on "03," as we get what is essentially a love song used as an analogue for Kendrick to reinforce that he believes in being true to oneself, both with respect to their romantic relationships and with their relationship with God. Instead of panicking and crying over the flaws God notices in him at the beginning of the album, he celebrates them here and asks both this woman and God (who we've learned may also be a woman) to accept him as he is because there's more to him than they might've otherwise thought.

On "untitled 04" and "untitled 05," Kendrick gives the stage of the main truth-telling to two women: SZA and Anna Wise. On "04," SZA delivers her "head is the answer" chorus which can be taken both comically (as it will be on a later track) and seriously, where we find that the answer to Kendrick's situation both in real life and in his apocalypse-bound, fictional self, is in his own mind, and not in the mind of others. Then on "05" we have Anna Wise speaking from the perspective of God, saying that when she sees people bleeding, drowning, burning in sacrifice for him, he is grateful. He appreciates their suffering.

On three songs now Kendrick has blurred the line between a romantic relationship with a woman and a relationship with God, has given a woman's voice to his main point of "head is the answer," of your own mind being the most important thing to follow in life, and has straight up made the voice of God be that of Anna Wise, a woman. I thought this was certainly an interesting little vein running through the album.

This angers Kendrick as he seems to think that he's made these sacrifices, he "used to go to church and talk to God," and he asks Him (or Her) why He (or She) "want[s to] see a good man with a broken heart," only to not let him into Heaven in the end. Later on in the song, Jay Rock talks about living every day to its fullest, getting some material goods from his labor to make himself feel good. This seems to be a good idea. But Kendrick comes in to say that this capitalistic mentality is corrupting him. So even though he's decided that he needs to focus more on himself and his loved ones, he seems conflicted about this as we move into the next track.

On the biggest, longest, most dense song on the album, Kendrick gives a thematic shout-out to good kid, m.A.A.d city. He takes a song about not needing the grandiose, the material, the narcotic in order to feel good about yourself, but sort of masks it, sonically, as a modern hip-hop song about smoking and drugs. The synths or altered strings or whatever they are in the background are drugged out to the extreme and we even get an appearance of the Anthony Fantano trademarked Rattling Hi Hats, if only subtly, throughout the song as well. After Kendrick gets done saying all the things that won't get you as high as being yourself, as loving yourself, there's another voice that comes in on the verse and tells him to "shut [his] fucking mouth and get some cash," that obviously material things make your life better, that obviously everyone should be trying their hardest to get theirs.

Then comes the refrain of "we don't want problems / we don't want tricks / we do want dollars / we do it big". This other voice is continuing to hammer home this message of the importance of self-indulgence, until the beat switch comes in. Here, Kendrick raps as soberly as he does anywhere on the album. He talks about how yes, he does spend things on himself but only at the same times as using his money to do real good in his community too in doing things like building youth centers in his neighborhood. Kendrick decides that the consequences of his actions, in the end, are the most important thing. He doesn't care that along the way his character might've become something that others might find reprehensible. He's inspired "a thousand emcees to do better" and helped his community and, on top of it all, lived a good life doing it. And that's what matters to him.

Overall, untitled unmastered is an album about loved ones. It's an album about pleasing others. It's an album about how heavily we weigh our own needs and wants against others'. It's is an album about religion and nonreligion. It's an album about Kendrick and where he is in life post-Butterfly and it handles its subject matter more subtly and expertly than every other album that came out last year.


Favorite Lyrics

"Somebody said you bumped your head and bled the floor

Jumped into a pit of flames and burned to coal

Drowned inside the lake outside; away you flow

And that means the world to me."

-"untitled 05" (Anna Wise)

"Never would you lie to me

Always camaraderie, I can see, our days been numbered

Reveleation greatest as we hearing the last trumpet

All man, child, woman, life completely went in reverse

I guess I'm running in place trying to make it to church."

-"untitled 01"

"Shut your fuckin mouth and get some cash, you bitch, you

You be in your feelings, I be in my bag, you bitch, you

Santa's reindeer better have some ass, you bitch, you

Everything I'm working gotta be the gas, you bitch, you"

-"untitled 07"


Discussion Questions

  • For you, did this album feel as cohesive as it did for me? Did it need to be, or do you think it works well as a series of disjointed B-sides?
  • Are there any of Kendrick's three albums you think this is better than?
  • For people who didn't like To Pimp a Butterfly, do you like this any more? If so, what do you think is the key difference between the two?
  • What do you think is the most important takeaway from this album? Either thematically, in terms of Kendrick as an emcee, in terms of where rap is going, where rap needs to go, anything at all.
  • Do you believe there's any truth to the feminist message hidden beneath the the broad strokes themes of this album, or am I looking for something that isn't there?

Album Of The Year #15: The Avalanches - Wildflower

Posted: 25 Jan 2017 01:41 PM PST

Artist: The Avalanches

Album: Wildflower


Listen:

Youtube

Apple Music

Spotify

Google Play Music


Background

After 16 long years and the departure of Darren Seltmann, nobody really knew where the next album was going to go. While we had heard some unreleased music, no one really knew if we would ever hear from the group again.

Finally, on the 23rd of May our hopes and expectations had be confirmed with the release of this documentary styled trailer for new music titled "Since They Left Us". In the video they not only confirmed new music was coming but even gave us a taste of two upcoming tracks, "Subways" and "The Wozard Of Iz."

About a week after the release of the trailer, it was announced on the Australian radio station Triple J that a new song titled "Frankie Sinatra" was going live. A few minutes before the release of the track it was announced another surprise feature was going to be on the track (later to be revealed as MF DOOM).

The tracklist and pre orders for the album arrived shortly after the song was premiered. Around the same time we got snippets of every track a month earlier thanks to a leak by Amazon Music France. We also got 2 more singles, "I Wish I Was A Folkstar" and "Subways" on the Triple J radio station.

By teaming up with Apple Music, not only did they get primetime commercial air promoting the album, but they also released it exclusively on the platform a week early. On July 8th the album was available on all streaming platforms as well as a physical release.

Review

The album is the definition of summertime. The cheery vocal samples, the upbeat 80's funk samples, and the upbeat lyrics from multiple features all collide perfectly to make a rich and enjoyable experience. Clocking in a a little under an hour, the Beastie Boys inspired collage of movies, vocals, and samples all bring together a cohesive and well mixed project.

While the album is made to be played all the way through, you can still enjoy many of the songs as singles without having to listen to the whole thing over and over. Frankie Sinatra, Because I'm Me, and Wozard Of Iz are all great singles that need no previous or next track. Whichever style you prefer the album has a song for that.

Chater himself described the album as "a road trip from a hyperrealistic urban environment to somewhere remote and far away while on LSD." The themes of the Wildflower can be explained very clearly if you follow along while watching the short film that came alongside the release of the album. The Was is a collaboration between The Avalanches and Soda_Jerk. The video is in itself a collage of multiple movies and short tv clips combined to make a cohesive story. You really get a sense for what The Avalanches where going for by watching this alongside the album.

Multiple /r/HipHopHeads favorites appear on the album as well. Danny Brown who just came off a incredible 2016 with this the release of his critically acclaimed album Atrocity Exhibition makes two appearance on the album. Danny himself said back in 2012 that the collaboration would "change the world." Underground favorite DOOM also comes out in full force by collaborating on Frankie Sinatra. We also get amazing features from lesser known hip hop artists such as Camp Lo and the Atlanta rap duo Ad.D+.

Most of the album had been made in a 16 year long time span with some of the earliest tracks being started almost right after the release of *Since I Left You." Some songs such as the Toro Y Moi collaboration "If I Was A Folkstar" and the David Berman collaboration had been leaked for years with some dating back to 2012.

Some people and critics like to criticize the album as "too happy" but i don't think that is a bad thing. Hearing the horns for the time on Because Im Me will just make you smile your ass off. Hearing Danny Brown rapping about showing off his dong over a tuba is just hilarious. The whole album feels like a daydream, swimming in a rainbow colored pool high on LSD. The album sets itself apart from its predecessor while still keeping the very "Avalanches" feel.


Favorite Lyrics

I just want to know. What's wrong with me? Being in love with you!

Because I'm Me

When can keep it irie, or we can keep it irate.

Frankie Sinatra

You walk on the subway, it moves around. You hear someone scream so you go and see what you found

Subways

This is a song for the genius child. Sing it softly... for the song is wild. Sing it as ever you can. Let the song get out of hand

Going Home

I remember when she took to open my mind

If I Was A Folkstar

There is magic in the splendor and desire to surrender Every moment we're together makes me hope it lasts forever

The Wozard Of Iz

I first saw her in a mega store The day glow raven born into a free fall Like plastic easter basket grass Falling from an overpass

Saturday Night. Inside Out

The fulfillment of a 10th grade prophecy

A motel masterpiece

Blind to the branching possibilities Blind to linked impossibilities

Teardrops were standing in my eyes

Like deer before they bolt

Saturday Night. Inside Out


Discussion Points

1) Does this feel like an Avalanches album?

2) Are you fine with with this many rap features on a Avalanches record? Would you have liked more or less?

3) Do you think this will rejuvenate the band members and get us an LP3 sooner?

4) Did you enjoy the shorter interludes or would the album be better without them?

5) What rappers would you have loved to have heard on this project?

6) Will this album inspire more sample based hip hop beats rather than the new wave of self produced no sample beats?

7) The themes of the album are obviously very ambiguous and intentionally left up to ones interpretation. What do you get out of the albums themes when you listen to the album?

r/hiphopheads Essential Album of the Week #78: Nas - Illmatic

Posted: 25 Jan 2017 06:39 AM PST

Welcome to the new and improved Essential Album of the Week discussion thread!


Every Wednesday we will discuss an album from our Essential Albums list

Last Week: Snoop Doggy Dogg - Doggystyle

This Week: Nas - Illmatic

Songs/Singles

World is Yours

One Love

It Ain't Hard to Tell

Background/Description (courtesy of allmusic.com)

Often cited as one of the best hip-hop albums of the '90s, Illmatic is the undisputed classic upon which Nas' reputation rests. It helped spearhead the artistic renaissance of New York hip-hop in the post-Chronic era, leading a return to street aesthetics. Yet even if Illmatic marks the beginning of a shift away from Native Tongues-inspired alternative rap, it's strongly rooted in that sensibility. For one, Nas employs some of the most sophisticated jazz-rap producers around: Q-Tip, Pete Rock, DJ Premier, and Large Professor, who underpin their intricate loops with appropriately tough beats. But more importantly, Nas takes his place as one of hip-hop's greatest street poets -- his rhymes are highly literate, his raps superbly fluid regardless of the size of his vocabulary. He's able to evoke the bleak reality of ghetto life without losing hope or forgetting the good times, which become all the more precious when any day could be your last. As a narrator, he doesn't get too caught up in the darker side of life -- he's simply describing what he sees in the world around him, and trying to live it up while he can. He's thoughtful but ambitious, announcing on "N.Y. State of Mind" that "I never sleep, 'cause sleep is the cousin of death," and that he's "out for dead presidents to represent me" on "The World Is Yours." Elsewhere, he flexes his storytelling muscles on the classic cuts "Life's a Bitch" and "One Love," the latter a detailed report to a close friend in prison about how allegiances within their group have shifted. Hip-hop fans accustomed to 73-minute opuses sometimes complain about Illmatic's brevity, but even if it leaves you wanting more, it's also one of the few '90s rap albums with absolutely no wasted space. Illmatic reveals a great lyricist in top form meeting great production, and it remains a perennial favorite among serious hip-hop fans.


Guidelines

This is an open thread for you to share your thoughts on the album. Avoid vague statements of praise or criticism. This is your chance to practice being a critic. It's fine for you to drop by just to say you love the album, but let's try and step it up a bit!!!

How has this album affected hip-hop? WHY do you like this tape? What are the best tracks? Do you think it deserves the praise it gets? Is it the first time you've listened to it? What's your first impression? Have you listened to the artist before? Explain why you like it or why you don't.

DON'T FEEL BAD ABOUT BEING LATE !!!! Discussion throughout the week is encouraged.

Next week's EAOTW will be The Notorious B.I.G. - Ready to Die
