Hit Boy’s production takes a back seat on the latest leak from Kendrick’s debut. ”Freestyles” are usually reserved for mixtapes and this probably should’ve been too. good kid, m.A.A.D city drops on the 22nd. Pre-order here.

m.A.A.dness! 10.22.12
Classic.
Song’s called “backseat freestyle” it’s not actually a freestyle
damn this is so….. average.
kendrick wtf? wasted beat.
wooooooo
“Freestyles are usually reserved for mixtapes and this probably should’ve as well.”
Ross Radar hating as usual, fuck ‘em. Freestyle/freeverse as in no concept, bass is backseat banging on some “A Milli” shit. This is the “Michael Jordan” of GKMC. A full length LP of thought-provoking records is a no-no, this will feel great in between the project and in the whip, on the radio, and in club. Kendrick is greatness.
i have to agree with B.Dot on this one though, like this beat is so nasty. It should’ve been used for a full song, or at least if it’s just straight rapping, a more aggressive Kendrick would’ve felt better.
There’s nothing average bout the beat, shits sick. But so far from this and simming pools, it sounds like dres been telling him to change his voice too much like eminem did. And how he gonna mention Martin Luther King in a song just talkin bout bitches and fuckin the world??
NOT feeling the production on this but kendrick did his thing. Overall this track was alright.
how did he win lyricist of the year over nas???dude is nothing special
^go watch the west coast cypher from the bet awards this year
B.Dot, get over yourself homie. Anyways, I refuse to listen to ANY track off this album until the 22nd. I need all this new Kendrick material to be heard at the same time.
@Cz I’m pretty sure MLK was into bitches I mean he did cheat on his wife
@B.Dot especially, but others too…
nigga yeen even heard the album yet. that’s like listening to Nathaniel (no pun) on Aquemini in the form of a leak, and saying “oh this shoulda been on a mixtape”
you’d think niggas listening ear would be mature enough at this point to hush till the collective body of work is ingested. then i’m sure it’ll make sense.
just like that RIP Aaliyah joint from Section.80 etc etc etc.
Eff what y’all sayin Kendrick and HitBoy did they thang
Have yall heard the snippets from the album? Its going to be so dope
i like hit-boys production they usually remind me of those college bands during halftime .
anyway kendrick sounds alittle like Kanye on here
It”s okay probably the weakest track on the album.
terrible. from the king intro to him yelling at the end in an attempt to sound like a man for once in his life. the hook here is i pray my dick get big as the eifel tower so i can fuck the world for 72 hours. then some shit about bitches. read that again. incredibly overrated rapper, cant wait for him to flop
This is dope but I might have to agree with B. Dot on that mixtape comment. Like I said, it’s dope but the replay value falls short, the beat is also dope but I don’t feel that it’s Kendrick’s base sound, and I also refuse to believe that this is 100% freestyled lol. Overall though, it’s a good listen and a whip banger, but nothing more. This track neither got me more hyped or more disappointed for his album, my feelings are neutral.
B.Dot was the only person in the universe to slate Cartoons and Cereal so I’m not gonna listen to this chump lol
Kendrick got a lil wierd on this one but def still dope. Feeling the beat but how you talking replay value and the song only been out like an hour?
@g-cass thank you
yall are faggots
FUCK THIS SITE
HE WENT IN
@ Faded 4evaNaDay
Is that a serious question? lol… But simple… when the song was over, I wasn’t anxious to hit the replay button. That’s how I feel the replay value is low.
He said it himself you gotta listen to the album in order, this song will grow on you fools
FUCK THE COMMENTS
FUCK THIS SITE
THIS SHIT WAS STUPID HARD

LOL so true. stupid niggers = stupid niggers lets be real.
When the song was starting i was like damn this sounds like it’s gonna be massive then after 13 seconds on I was like “meh” this is for an album? Seems just “ehhh” plus the beat is redundant after a minute and gives me a headache. Sorry bruh i’ma fan but i’ma skip over this one on the album
@Outletdj
Nikka if a song gotta grow on me maybe it aint that good of a song.
i think this is trash. still a fan though.
huge kdot fan…and i think every record we’ve heard so far off the LP is amazing
but this one…just no!
Complete waste of a fire fuckin beat… SMH! Kanye need 2 start smacking some sense into Hit-Boy!
whats with the hate this is fire so what kendricks havin some fun and changing his style a little on this i mean it is called backseat “freestyle” and u not hear how he switches up the style at the end i bet if this was a fuckin average “ima boss king of diamonds i lick her breasts” freestyleit would be considered the next big hit right? heard the snippers the albums gonna be fire
damn this is fuego…10th time listening to it in a row. HEATER.
@smgdh now you just sound ignorant
No-sign k dots homosexual uncles passing lil Kendrick around touchin his naked ass yo shit is nasty as fuck
its alright. good flow. something for the club
@Outlets
??? smgdh’s comment was actually pretty accurate. How is that being ignorant? ~_^
guess im the minority i like this song and i think whoever said hearing this song out of context of the album can make a difference because it could fit perfectly depending on how the album sequenced.
Kendrick is getting a little too comfortable with this one, feelin’ the beat but he clearly didn’t give it his all…which is why I think he called it a freestyle…I mean, it’s not off the dome but clearly didn’t take the time as some of his other compositions, so I’m not mad, because he trying some new shit out and it ain’t half bad. At least he labeled a freestyle so you’re not like “Oh word this is what Kendrick all about on his album” because I don’t think it is. I liked it tho, I just expect more from Kendrick these days.

Maybe I’m the only person that has heard songs that I don’t fuck with at first then I really dig them, anyways my point originally was that I fuck with this song and it will prolly flow nicely with the cd
Ignorant was a little strong I shoulda said it in *stephen A smith voice* haha
Kendrick does his thing right here & its hot. if your criticizing wait till your feeling good to listen to this because your straight up just getting your dislike on. this freestyle goes in & even defines freestyle under a new light cause the structure & sound of it.. this track didn’t live to the hype behind him about the album as a whole, but this isnt the album. K.dot murked it
Reblogged this on The Music Business Revisionist.
This is amazing. Kendrick the best out
Y’all really just don’t understand this song. Do you? This album is about growing up in LA, a mAAd city. This is fairly obviously modeled as a freestyle that you might just drop in the backseat. It’s a play off of typical freestyles.
The chorus about fucking the Eiffel Tower is a reference to how, in freestyles, rappers always reference how big their dicks are and how much pussy they get. Listen to it again.
Won’t listen.. Waiting for the full product
If you look at the tracklist, this comes right before the Art of Peer Pressure. This song is “Backseat” freestyle, in the Art of Peer Pressure he’s sitting in the backseat talking about how they’re about to fuck shit up. Making a little more sense now???
