Kendrick working with Dj Quik for his next album :blessed:

Postby fifflaren » Aug 2nd, '13, 21:38

M.A.A.d city has put Lamar in a tricky position. Anything more lighthearted he does now – say, his 50 Cent collab We Up, about the spoils of fame – risks seeming lesser-than.

And like any classic debut, it puts pressure on a follow-up. Will the next record stay true to his roots, or tip over to rap’s ubiquitous trappings: money, fame, girls?

“I can make an album about anything I want. I write all the time, and there’s so much that I’ve never said or shared,” says Lamar.

He doesn’t divulge much more about a follow-up, except that he wants to work with the legendary Compton rapper and producer DJ Quik to “bring that original sound that people have been missing from the West Coast for a while,” and that he’s not stressed about expectations.

“The word ‘pressure’ has been put on my career a billion times. Before I put the album out, that question came up: ‘Do you feel how much pressure it is to have one of the most looked-at albums from the West Coast?’ And I guess the talk-up now is, can I do it again? And the answer is: I’m just gonna do what I do. And you can like it, you can love it or you can leave it alone, but it’s gon be me at the end of the day.”

True to himself – Duckworth, K-Dot or Kendrick Lamar – soaking in this scene before acting out the next.

“To even be in the industry and, you know, goin’ back and forth across states and getting that love, it’s still like a dream come true.”

Whew

Dj Quick over saw all of All Eyes On Me, mixed it all, he was Pacs main engineer and ideas man on that album. I hope we don't hear any "Justify My Thug" type beats if they work together.

This should be incredible, "Rhythm-al-ism" is one of the best produced hip hop records of the '90s, still sounds fresh
Same sword they knight you they gon' good night you with
Sh.., Thats' only half if they like you
That ain't even the half what they might do
Don't believe me, ask Michael
See Martin, see Malcolm
You see Biggie, see Pac, see success and its outcome
See Jesus, see Judas; see Caesar, see Brutus
See success is like suicide
Suicide, it's a suicide
If you succeed, prepare to be crucified

Tbh, i thought he was going to wait a lil to put that out. Kendrick is still the hottest name in the industry no doubt but alot of his verses have no been gettin the attention they deserve. A prime example being "Let us move on" verse on Dido's single. Well, i guess that explains the TDE no feature verses shutdown till the end of the year. I thought that was to avoid oversaturation but the kid stay working.

He is writing every day but he said that he'll start working on his next album after his new Tour which will end in September/October. We'll probably have the album in late 2014/2015 :y:
