Kendrick Lamar Reveals Upcoming Album To Feature Dr. Dre Production, Not Many Guests

    Kendrick Lamar, who is reportedly working on the follow-up to his 2012 major label debut album, good kid, m.A.A.d city, recently said there are several unreleased songs from the album’s recording sessions.

    “There was a lot left out of good kid,” Lamar says in Rolling Stone, according to Rap-Up. “It could have been a 30-track album. There are a few new [songs] that can tie in with what I was talking about.”

    Lamar, who says he’s made several songs with Dr. Dre for his new album, also adds that the producer has “gone in the lab and tried to really elevate himself.” Lamar’s work with Dr. Dre is accompanied by K. Dot’s efforts with other producers, TDE’s Digi+Phonics. 

    Lamar, who had Drake on good kid, says he is not going to have many features on this project.

    “I have so much to say,” he says. “It’s almost selfish of me.”

    1. Dre need to get Kendrick’s balls out his mouth, where he fuck are dre beats for Em, fifty, or anyone else for that fucking matter, he goes missing for years and then you hear Kendrick’s got a full album of beats wtf

    2. his previous album was so impressive. Amazing album. When I listen to it, it was more than music, it was a story of a person just like me with dreams, fear, dangers, trouble, happiness, adolescence and maturity. He stayed true to his roots he kept it original but different. God bless Kendrick Lamar and hip hop.

    3. nice to see his keeping the same producers. Wow. One thing I liked about the production of this album is that the beats are different from current hip hop albums and it sounded like all the producers were on the same page. It almosts seems as if the whole album was produced by one person. That’s how smoothly the album flows. Great Album Kendrick.

    4. he has it in him for another classic. GKMC album will go down as one of the best albums of all time for any genre just like Illmatic, Reasonable Doubt, Ready to Die and the other rap albums that are considered the best of all time. When those albums came out we didn’t understand how great they because were very young at the time. Now we have a chance to witness a classic and a legend in the making. The storytelling is amazing. It’s like a movie. You can’t just listen to a couple of songs or skip through. You have to listen straight through from beginning to end.

      1. I could name 200 albums better then kendricks album.

        You have fugees, mobb deep, CNN, snoops, dres, onyx, Krs,

        Probably even 250 albums better then good kid MADD city

    5. I can’t wait. last album is ahead of its time. Perfection from start to finish.
      The best hip-hop debut since Lupe Fiasco’s Food & Liquor.

    6. Looks like Aftermath got another classic “2001” , “The Marshall Mathers LP”, “Get Rich or Die Tryin”, now “good kid, m.A.A.d city”

      1. BITCH ASS FAG DONT EVER HATE ON GAME AND LEAVE THE DOCUMENTARY OUT OF THE CLASSIC AFTERMATH ALBUMS!!!!! YAYO IS A FAGGET ASS BITCH HOE ASS NIGGA!!!! GAME ENDED YOU BITCHES WIT 300 BARZ LONG AGO BITCH MADE NIGGAZ GAME WAS THE G IN THAT FAGGET ASS UNIT!!!!!

      2. Yea i Agree The Games Album Was A Aftermath Classic Another Reality Check Is Game Has Yet To Hit Platinum After The Documentary…

      1. Really? If no one wanted to work with him, then he wouldn’t be featured on other people’s songs. Come back to reality.

      2. Clearly you didn’t listen to the new Jeezy, Chris Brown, flying lotus and other tracks he was just featured on. Not to mention Tech n9ne, YG, and other verses earlier this yeat. Sit down and shut up.

      1. I hate when people say this. Calling something a classic months, sometimes years before the album is even out. That’s some fanboy shit. If the album turns out to be just good, fanboys will still call it a classic.

      1. Section 8.0 was more jazzy, with that warm old school sound and samples, GKMC was ‘summery’, upbeat, with a sound that was more appealing to a larger audience (without going pop).

        i preferred the psychedelic style of section 8.0 myself.

    7. no guests.. i cant say im disappointed even though i wanted to her a nas and eminem collabo with him but fuck it thats what albums are about..

      if this album hits kendrick will automatically put himself in my top 5 DOA. right after tupac and big L and just before eminem and nas

    8. Lol Teenage white boys in the comments are already calling it classic. I hate hip hop now man, all this shit is trash for white people.

      1. lol if its eminem its ohh only white boys love white rappers. theyre rcist

        then we like kendrick n its only white boys like kendricks backpack rap…

        get off our dicks. we like kendrick and so do black people.. go live your unhappy life elsewhere

      2. well leave the ‘great’ rap music like soulja boy, keef, them other chicago fags, for you and well listen to the ‘trash’ like jayz, em, kendrick, krit ect ect..

    9. “Clearly you didn’t listen to the new Jeezy, Chris Brown, flying lotus and other tracks he was just featured on. Not to mention Tech n9ne, YG, and other ”

      Nobody listens to Tech Nine. YG also worked with Drake, and you listen to Chris Brown? lol Case closed.

      1. “Nobody listens to Tech N9ne, yet he’s the most successful independent rapper ever”

        I was about to say the same thing. 1st Anon must be living under a rock

    10. Kendrick promising too much man. I love the nigga but I guarantee you whenever a rapper says he won’t have no features on his upcoming album, it’s a damn LIE. Seriously it won’t happen. Snoop Dogg, The Game, 50, they all said that shit. But the white man will wanna have his airplay potential in check.

    11. Good choice by Kendrick. Glad to see him take a step in that direction. Meanwhile, Jadakiss and Fab can’t release even HALF a featureless album. I can’t tell you how many albums I didn’t buy based solely on who was featured on it. Hopefully this starts a trend.

    12. “I hate all men” = My ex was a fucking alpha, he smashed women more beautiful than me and owned me in every situation and didn’t give a fuck about me yet I was attracted to him and kept coming back for more, he left me and I still can’t get over him so I’m going to make the next guys that come into my life suffer.

      “Thats okay” = I want to think long and hard about how Im going to make you suffer

      “Whatever” = fuck off

      “I’m tired, I think I’m just going to stay in tonight” = I’m going to fuck someone else tonight

      “It’s nothing” = this is a big deal

      “I’m not ready to have sex yet” = You’ve still got 453 hoops to jump through cowboy

      “I can’t stand my ex” = I think about doing him every night

      “I don’t suck dick” = i don’t suck YOUR dick

      call me on Thursday to confirm = youre my backup plan. I have almost no intention of actually going out with you

      sorry I cant make it this Friday after all = I found something better to do

      its just girls night out = Im looking for the bigger better deal (BBD)

      “Your friends are awesome!” = once I get you to commit I’ll alienate every one of them from you and slowly isolate you and your wallet

      “I’m not sure what I want” = I don’t want you

      “I’m open minded for sex” = I fuked lot of guys. Can you say slut?

      “She is a bitch/ slut/ bimbo” = She is more attractive than me and that disturbs me.

      “Can you buy me a drink?” = Shit test. Mostly translated to “Are you an undesirable loser?”

      “You’re mean!” = You are one of the few who has the guts to neg me/ My beauty and sexuality isn’t working on you.

      “I want a guy that will love me for who I am, no matter what” = I’m unlovable.

      “I’m for equality” = I don’t wanna be the woman in the relationship. Can you say entitlement issues?!

      “I’m adventurous” = I visit new clubs and try new drinks, shoes, and penises.

      “You’ll never settle down.” = please settle down with me.

      “Are you gay?” = I probably don’t have a chance with you and it frustrates me.

      “She’s such a slut” = I’m a slut.

      “I hated my father” = I’m easy and like men who abuse me.

      “How long was your longest relationship?”= What is the longest you’ve gone before she dumped your ass for somebody better?

      “I’m not that type of girl.” = Actually I am, just not with you.

      “I just broke up with my boyfriend.” = Your place or mine?

      “You remind me of my brother” = I am repulsed at the thought of dating you.

      “I like a big guy. It makes me feel protected.” = I like a big guy who can throw me around in the bedroom.

      “I haven’t dated anyone in a long time.” = I have a long term fuck buddy.

      “I’m scared of being hurt” = I’ve realised I don’t like you as much as I thought i did

      1. let’s just elminate the entire female race. hitler had the right idea but he was wrong in targeting jews. it should have been a pile of burning, emaciated, broken, humiliated female corpses. if we can’t create like god then we sure as hell can DESTROY LIKE HIM

      2. as soon as I can kick my porn habit (lasting longer and longer at not looking at it) im going to be 100% celibate. i heard your sex drive diminishes after month #3 of no stimulation. then i will truly be free. then i will return to the bliss of dragonball z action figures, comic books, pokemon, video games, and following my dreams

      1. Me too. When telling a story with a whole project (as Joey’s doing with B4.DA.$$), it seems very fitting that the person telling it is the only one contributing. Having features on a album depicting a story is like an author having other people write a few chapters.

      2. Listen to the dude above, it will have features just not many. Every other hiphop site has it right except this one………..no surprise.

    13. First off you are wrong once again, Kendrick said there would be few cameos on this album ,not none and thats why he felt selfish.

      Secondly like the poster below me pointed out, gkmc came out in 2012 not 2013 you fucking idiot.

      For someone who is supposed to be a journalist and deliver Hiphop news to the masses, you seem to really live up to that name of yours, TARD!

      WAKE THE FUCK UP DX AND FIRE THIS IDIOTIC FAGGOT! This guy doesn’t research or double check anything he writes. Im one of the many people sick of having to correct this faggot for putting out wrong information.

      1. Really? So black people hate an album because white people liked it? So that means black people hate every mainstream rap record. Think about what you say,

      2. @anon1- thats so true. same reason they hate eminem bc white ppl like them..anytime white ppl like something in rap most automatically say its garbage..even tho white people got a great ear for music.

    14. Fuck I love people who hate on Kendrick it makes it easier for me, its a retard/ignorant check if you cannot appreciate this living legend you are either fucking dumb or just hating on people who made it.

      1. There will be features but not many, as reported on every other hiphop site besides this one.

        Thanks Andres Retardio, keep up the shit work.

    15. The beats on this kids first album put me to sleep. I couldnt even listen to all of it.Hopefully Dres old ass has got some fire for him this time and I can stay interested

    16. Lol when this story was up earlier the headline read: Kendrick Lamar Reveals Upcoming Album To Feature Dr. Dre Production, No Guests.

      Also Andres had GKMD’s relase date wrong so I wrote this comment which Andres deleted:

    17. TO THE FUCKIN FAN BOY THAT PUT GOOD KIDD MAAD CITY as and Aftermath Classic and Hated on Game and left The Documentary off… U ARE SMOKIN SOME PURE PURE GOOD DOPE if u think that Kendrick album is Better than The Documentary… If you think Kendrick (he is nice) but if you think Kendrick Lamar is Better than Game AKA Slay Your Favorite Rapper ur out of ur mind literally!!!!

    18. A motivated Game would eat Kendrick Lamar for breakfast. Plus Game really lives it. When shit was poppin off, Kendrick was hiding under the covers.

      1. Please. Game gets outshined by every rapper he works with. He can’t serve anyone. Plus, Kendrick never claimed to be a gangster, so that last shit was pointless.
