Kendrick Lamar - Friends (LEAK)

[@MrEaley-td2ww]

There are 100,000 rappers probably more seriously, 3% is 3000 that's not a crazy statement

[@truestprophecy]

@@MrEaley-td2ww that's what i was thinking

[@kayshawn.]

oh shit. this is verse is also a scrap from the demo of united in grief’s second half “tranquilizer”

[@3bladeninja21]

A lot of the unreleased tracks he uses the same verse or ideas or concepts. Probably likes the concept but then tests it here and there to see where it fits best

[@maismade6013]

I like that chorus better

[@seanjohnston1076]

@@3bladeninja21 theres an interview somewhere and he says something along those lines

[@beedavisjr]

That's pretty what he does on every album. A lot of these throw away tracks you will hear on other songs.

[@bandit8708]

I think I prefer this delivery to that of tranquilizer

[@durricane]

Dot and DOOM are my 1 & 2 all time. Never thought I’d hear a song that ties them together somehow

[@vanityvanityvanityvanity]

It's kinda awesome how two artists sampling and interpolating the same songs can connect all of them together

[@FupaDoncic]

What’s the MF song this is based off of?

[@vanityvanityvanityvanity]

@@FupaDoncic Deep Fried Frenz samples Whodini's "Friends," which is where Kendrick interpolated the hook on this song from

[@bajenbilly]

you love to see it, long live the supervillain

[@243Abolerz]

Kendricks a student of the game. DOOM was also. He was out there with Pac and Eazy E

[@lordbaccoon1821]

Kdot with DOOM sampling???? Perfect combo

[@maidenful]

this is not a DOOM sample because DOOM sampled the whodini song “friends”

[@aspiregabriel1]

@@maidenful it's an interpolation of whodini's friends lyrics

[@christianmorrow807]

This right here shows Drake’s idea that Kendrick was being colorist was totally bogus

[@grecco4037]

oh drake clearly knows that he was not being colorist drake wants to appeal and control the narrative that color is the reason kendrick is pointing out

[@jaydenmoore8994]

Kendrick wasn't being colorist to Drake, Kendrick's argument was that Drake was never a part of black culture due to being from Canada and rapping about stuff he can't relate to. Kendrick was basically calling Drake a culture vulture.

[@GrootmanSipho]

Nah bro, I’m not a Drake fan but if he was dark skinned no one would tell him not to say 🥷 you can’t pick and choose when you want to be pro black. Kendrick said some colorist things, and he was doubling down on Rick Ross calling Drake a white boy. If Drake grew up in Compton and was raised by his Black father he would be classified as Black and allowed the N-word pass? Unfortunately no one can choose Drake’s race, he is who he is. And if him being mixed means that he’s not Black enough then there are many other Black icons that need to be reclassified.

[@SuperRONDALE]

@@grecco4037Drake doesn’t know much of anything. He’s never come accords as a studious person. So of course he’d be wrong on this matter. He doesn’t even fully understand the issue Kendrick has with him

[@kingkai18]

@@GrootmanSipho you're looking at it from a purely color standpoint and not from a cultural one. if it was purely on color kendrick wouldn't have called adonis a black man, specifically telling the kid to stand on the fact he has black in him instead of picking and choosing like his father does. Kendrick told drake to stop saying ninja not cuz he's mixed race but because he's not part of the culture, he just taps into it for clout (colonizer).

[@MRBUMPBADAZZ]

The light skins get picked on, the dark skins don’t get picked!!❤️❤️

[@ms.ferretmanthing2404]

He shouldn't be talking about that when he is a living embodiment of that colorist mindset.

This fr needs to be on Kendrick’s next album. I don’t care if his next album is more fun and upbeat, this song needs to be heard regardless

[@AllTheArtsy]

what these leaks tell me is that Kendrick just really knows whats best for his discography and we have to shut up lol as amazing as a lot of them are, the songs we get in the albums are ALWAYS better. Prayer is great, but it's better we got Mr Morale and Savior (for the similar themes). Abortion Money is real powerful, but not like Mother I Sober, for example.

[@arcshock2002]

Prayers would be better as either an album piece or single

[@arcshock2002]

I mean either way prayer is one of the greater songs he made

[@TaCheck]

Word but i don't see any version kenny will drop that can top this

[@arctictropic1147]

Kendrick is an artist in the most true sense. He paints the album with a purpose, and sometimes song don't get added not because they're not as good, but it doesn't compliment the album the way he envisioned it.

[@capperbuns]

Savior saved my life... More accurately it gave me the idea to save myself

DOOM INTERPOLATION THAT SENT A SHIVER DOWN MY SPINE

[@chitownchinx]

It’s not doom it’s whodini

[@LxrdLucid]

@chitownchinx my fault gang I'm not up to speed with 80s electronica. I've been trying to look into more of dooms samples but I hadn't gotten around to deep fried friends. I'm still hoping kendrick is a doom fan I've never heard him mention the villain ever but it would be cool

[@FWS_Ninga]

@@LxrdLucid doom is usually your favorite rappers' favorite rapper

[@noodlezebt6428]

[@krysis7]

@@noodlezebt6428​​he wasn’t. That’s white shit. Whodinis Friends is a black folks staple. All of us who have parents his age sang this song to us as a warning. It’s cultural

[@chitownchinx]

@@noodlezebt6428 yeah I guess but he also directly references the original song. I love DOOM to but this whole thing where people keep trying to make connections w him and everyone else is getting old. He was influential and a genius. But MF did not create all of the hip hop genre you gotta give props to the people who inspired dooom as well. RIP DOOM RIP ECSTASY

[@Chefmek9032]

Dude this guy Kendrick is a mastermind.

[@Musicchild2791]

When he said maybe I'm to sensitive to ever live with betrayal especially when my intentions to to set sail. That line right there is the reasons I don't really have friends. Betrayal hurts more when your intentions are pure so I can't keep going thru that.
