According to rapper Kendrick Lamar, in “the next two or three weeks” fans will finally be treated to the visuals for his “The Recipe” 
single featuring Dr. Dre. The Compton rapper recently caught up with XXL magazine and spoke a little more in-depth about the music video.
“It’s exactly what the song is talking about. Me and Dre just wanting to have fun really,” said Kendrick when asked what fans can expect from the video. “It’s some beautiful women, some beautiful visuals of the city, skyline. A few of the homies, you know you gotta have Top Dawg in there. Just having fun man and bringing that whole feel of just L.A. love back to where it rightfully deserves to be.”
Kendrick also spoke on the reception “The Recipe” has received thus far explaining that he wanted his first single to be more of a warm-up track than a huge radio hit.
“I look at it as one of them introduction singles not like single singles. I didn’t wanna jump out there with one of them big over the top crossover joints like that,” Kendrick explained. “I wanted to stick with what I’ve been doing. That song’s not far from ‘P&P,’ ‘A.D.H.D.’ It’s still got that feel you know what I mean? I didn’t wanna go all the way into radio. I just wanted to warm it up.”
Although a title for Kendrick’s debut album has been revealed, Good Kid In A Mad City, it has yet to receive an official release date.

Yeah because no one wants a huge radio hit. No one wants the song that they sent to radio to be a radio hit.
Just come with some more heat, homie. That song is fresh. forget whoever don’t get it. No reason to explain the lukewarm response. Just keep smashing on em.
man kendick is about to blow…download the song outrageous or highpower or vanity slave pt.2,,,,,cmon
I know about all of Kendrick’s songs. I have all his tapes. What are you talking about? No one doubts Kendrick. I doubt Interscope. They aren’t selling songs from OD, Average Joe, and his first tape. WHat are you talking about?
MEANWHILE THE SONG’S BUZZ HAS DIED AND NO ONE WILL GIVE 2 FUCKS ABOUT THE VIDEO
Thats the Interscope factor. Major labels that are too cautious will mess up an artist like Kendrick Lamar. He’s not over the top or outrageous. He’s just a good rapper. And these days, they don’t know how to market a good rapper.
They probably literally watched some metric before deciding to even shoot the video (downloads, spins, charts) instead of just believing in the kid and going all out.
Hey yo black the song is on some cali west coast shit…it’s not for everyone
They should of asked him about him writing Dre’s verse aswell, fuck the video
Yeah thats what makes a Dre feature pointless. If he had Eminem? Nice.

good artists don’t sell these days, period. This is the day of the corny, the catchy, and the gimmick, has been for 10 years. But Kendrick has something that truly great artists of any age desire more than money, and that’s respect among his peers and critics. He likely will never see a platinum plaque, but his shows will keep selling out, and I expect an amazing catalogue from him in the next few years.
Yes yes, cant wait! Lets go Kendrick!

Why the hell is he dropping the video so late? The buzz of this song is actually dying down. SMH at whoever delayed the process of this song down to a snail and they should have dropped this the week he had the internet going nuts off this song so it could have swept across the rest of the country. Because it also featured a heavyweight in Dre it would have caught on to number one but I think its too little to late in my opinion.
Oh yeah, song was 5/5
This is Aftermath we are talking about. If it’s not Em, it’s not priority.
there was no buzz for this whack song at all….kendrick ain’t commercial son….this song was mediocre bullshit
Good joke.
