Kendrick Lamar’s To Pimp A Butterfly album was released yesterday (March 15), nine days prior to its scheduled March 24 release date.
Today, the second major label project from the Compton, California rapper was removed from iTunes.
Top Dawg, TDE’s CEO, says that he is working on getting the issue resolved regarding his flagship artists’ new album.
“Working on getting the iTunes link fixed smh,” Top Dawg wrote on his twitter account.
Top Dawg and Kendrick Lamar’s tweets regarding the early release of and subsequent removal of To Pimp A Butterfly are as follows:

so he got mad when Itunes put it up early and now hes mad that they took it down?
Makes perfect sense. One leak is all it takes to loose record sales. You can’t halfway let the cat out the bag.
Common Sense
You know what this is? This is marketing. Interscope messed up big time and they knew it, so they came up with this sh**. Take it off itunes and make it controversial and big. Every news media is going to write about it and then they will have a new release day(probably in the next 2 days) and everybody will buy the album bc of the hype.
I actually have the album its f’ing dope.
naw its back up now they aint waiting a few days
Still remembered the time drake bodied kendrick with his response after Dumbo released that egotstical verse on the shitty control song.
Please. Aubrey didn’t body anyone and he never will. And there was nothing egotistical about Kendick’s Control verse (Control isn’t shitty).
The rest of hiphop disowned kendrick after that incident.
Nobody disowned him.
They should have just left it up…oh well
it was only the clean version! i aint trying to hear that. apparently you could only get the dirty songs if you bought em separate
hopefully this is good. his first album was poor in my opinion. joey badass – b4da$$ is still the best album ive heard in a long while. this is all good for hip hop. still waiting on action bronsons debut. that got me hyped
Good, it should be permanently shelved because it sucks. About 5 good songs. Total disappointment. It sounds like a shitty attempt at trying to recreate Common’s Like Water For Chocolate. Kendrick can’t sing, and him changing the sound of his voice all the time sounds horrible.
Your opinion=irrelevant
You mother’s pussy game is weak
this dude aint lyin.
Just irrelevant enough for you to comment on I see. Are positive comments about the album irrelevant? I like K. Dot, but this album ain’t good. Section 8 and OD still get bumped regularly because they are solid, his latest sucks.
No. This newest album is great. You just don’t like it because it’s a different sound and it wasn’t made for the clubs/radio.
It’s all incomprehensible gibbersih from kenwack.
No, Kendrick’s lyrics are comprehensible and aren’t nonsense. Young Thug is the one whose lyrics are incomprehensible nonsense.
CHORUS 2 STARS LYIRICS 4 STARS ALL TOGETHER MAYBE 3
DRAKE WON
No, Kendrick won. This has nothing to do with Aubrey.
This album right here is SOLID. I was never a kendrick fan, I always thought he was mediocre(never thght he sucked). I never listened to his songs or anything but ‘i’ caught my attention.
I got the album earlier today and it’s a A- or B+ for sure. You get this album and Lupe’s Tetsuo and Youth and you’ll be good to go.
People use iTunes? Grabbed it on Google Play while everyone was freaking out over that clean version.
ppl like you suck. acting like iPlay isnt at the forefront of digital music marketing. ITS APPLE IDIOT
iTunes*****. Just because you use something and think its better you can’t just act like something that exists and is very prevalent doesnt exist… LMFAO
Should move it from iTunes to the trash can where it belongs. No drake ft no relevance.
No relevance? Is that why it’s the most anticipated record of the year and is currently number one on ITunes in ALL music genres? The world is bigger than Aubrey, you know.
It’s back up on iTunes.
It’s back up on iTunes
thats what happens when a big artist puts out an album out of nowhere, happened for cole, happened for drake and its happening for kendrick, get ova it
the album is complete trash. terrible follow up to gkmc. dissapointed
Wrong.
