and feelgood is right about the title but that doesnt matter when you have as much talent as kendrick. he could have no album title and i would listen. but u should change it so people can find it easier!
gonna blow up!
I have high hopes for this one.
This is speculative but I would guess with the BET Awards and Cyphers (for which Kendrick is a part) airing on Oct 9th, that we will get a track list sometime near there. The publicity is just too great to not capitalize upon.

New song, “Compton” featuring Dr. Dre is floating out there. I don’t know what it is but hearing Dre rhyme lines that were more than likely written by Kendrick is the best Dre has ever sounded on the mic. The “Recipe” is another fine example of this.
Meant to tack this to the previous post. But is anyone going to slap a copy of “Cartoons and Cereal” featuring Gunplay at the end of this album as a bonus track?
Don’t think he’d put any songs from the mixtape on the album
cartoons and cereal is not on any mixtapes timmaccauley. learn your shit before you respond to every single comment with you ignorance
Yeah I was going to make the same comment; it also does not appear on any Gunplay official releases.
When the song came out it was rumored to be on the album but didn’t make the cut.
chill out i made one comment, and c&c is on my version of the good kid in a mad city mixtape?
yeah it’s definitely on there.. what are you guys talking about..
What mixtape? C&C isn’t from any official Kendrick release.
There is no good kid mixtape, its not an official release.
There is a compilation, 7089 EP, which is not completely legitimate that has the song on there but it is the only connected release.
I dislike how artist have the mentality of already released songs being “deluxe”
Swimming pools was only released as a single a few months ago, he could have included it in the album but went with the extended version instead
The album is called “good kid, M.A.A.D. City”
Hi bois. Want some ketchup in your hand?
30 second snippets are currently available which means a leak must be near plus the album gets released in a week.
This is going to be dope!
NEW TRACK:
“Backseat Freestyle” (Prod. By Hit-Boy) [MixedByAli]
