This isn't just stuff that's not gonna find easy radio play in 2015, but in the 70's it would be everywhere..he's a much more improved songwriter and the songs are ultimately stronger.

The thing is that it's not in a pop music verse chorus verse format, add to the fact it's alot of live sounding instrumentation which is in stark contrast to the Mile Will Made it world we live in now... This album will do numbers at least initially because of the sneak attack, but it's gonna be interesting to see how it plays out.

Considering he stole a bunch of Flying Lotus in Captain Murphy mode beats, i wouldn't be surprised if we don't have a more straightforward rappity rap release coming up.

That said, it's great. There should be equal slobnobbing here for Lamar as there was for D'Angelo. Didn't know he would go full Soulaquarians, lol
