Didn't know it was a beach house sample. I heard it in an AMV that used a song from Lil Peep.

[@98loud]

​@@who_is_dis "Entire foundation" is a bit much. It carries the melody but drums and bass will always be the foundation/spine of music esp hip hop

Money trees is definitely my favorite Kendrick song. So many layers and lyrically top of the line. So fucking good.

[@slvshy666]

I love reversing samples to find melodies. Easily one of my favorite sounds on tracks.

[@ericguillot6402]

One of my favorite Kendrick tracks ever. And I'll never forget when I first heard it. My boy just picked me up from a couple month state sponsored, all inclusive paid vacation. Finally feeling the pressure lifting, and then this record starts to play. Beautiful moment with an amazing sound track.

[@Invalidy]

One of the best song on that album

[@kayvee5286]

I saw Kendrick open with money trees and I can honestly say I’ve never felt energy like that in the thousands of shows I’ve been to. This is what you call a classic. 10-11 years later and it still knocks hard af.
