Reacting to a short and private preview of Kendrick Lamar’s upcoming album, Hot 97 Morning Show co-host Peter Rosenberg described a four-song preview as “not anything like what you’ve heard from Kendrick before.”
“After the interview, I was privy to hear some of the new music from Kendrick Lamar that will appear on his next album dropping some time in early 2015,” Peter Rosenberg said on today’s edition of The Realness. “If this album is anything like what I heard we are in for a treat. Yes, Kendrick Lamar somehow has developed even more, gone to another level. He’s talking about Black righteousness. He’s talking about Africa. There’s social commentary. There’s all kinds of deep thoughts…There are deep thoughts throughout, however, it is upbeat music that is gonna thrive in the club and on the radio. However, just like good kid m.A.A.d. city, you can hear there’s no attempt to make club music.
“This music that I heard, specifically a song that a lot of people are buzzing about called ‘King Kunta,’ it is not anything like what you’ve heard from Kendrick before,” he added. “It’s not like anything else that’s out there right now. It is, however, phenomenal. Upbeat, driving bass, drums, heavy drums. I heard four songs, and the sampling that I heard was amazing. A lot of people have given me a hard time because I hitched my wagon so-to-speak to the Kendrick Lamar train. Listen, I don’t do it very often. There’s certain artists that I’m willing to push my chips in because I’m confident in the product we’re gonna get, Kendrick Lamar, chief of among those artists. And guys, don’t be mad ‘cause I got it right. This next album is gonna be as good as good kid m.A.A..d. city. It may be even on a different and higher level. Early 2015, new Kendrick album. And I promise you when these songs come out that I heard yesterday, you are all gonna say—well, not all of you. Some of you YouTube haters are just gonna say, ‘You’re fat and disgusting.’ Others of you, who know better, will say, ‘Rosenberg, you got it right again.’ That’s the realness.”

Kdot finna fuck around and drop a second classic in a row!!!
2 plat albums before officer tRicky gets one
Officer Ricky has still sold more records, white boy.
officer kenny is still better at rapping, black boy.
port of Miami is platinum now and both of you are fuck boys 😉
“Officer Ricky has still sold more records, white boy.”
I would hope so, seeing as how hes been on a major label since 2006 and dropped like 7 albums compared to kennys 2.
still amazing that kendrick went plat in 6 months when ricky couldnt do it in 8 years
POM is not platinum.
it was at 800,000 in 2007 2 years after it dropped…it doesn’t matter if its on the riaa website its passed 1 mill by now
It didn’t pass a million, though. POM’s sales have stalled.
show me where u saw the last count cuz that shit left the billboard 200 back in 07…
I don’t expect nothing less…dude is truly gifted and talented…rap is just not a “hustle”….and you can hear it in his music and his bars…
Somewhere in this comment section Drake Trolling lol
I hope he got a features from D’Allan Rixxx and Lil Wayne that wud be so fuckn dope/
Don’t even think about…
…you can hope all you want, but there’s no way D’Allan Rixxx or Lil Wayne would be featured on Kendrick’s new album.
this gonna be classic, I know it and i’m not even a fan
Of course it’s going to be a classic, I’m not even human!
the word classic is devalued every time you say something is a classic and its not classic. So let’s try to find a synonym that yall can use instead of devaluing all timeless classics that stood the test of time
P.S. Let’s not forget you turds called Schoolboy Q’s album early this year a classic but it was so classic that no one listens to it cause it was so classic
I agree how about just use quality album lol
we still have a couple years to go before anyone can considers gkmc a classic…the last classic imo was Be by Common n that was 10 years ago
and q’s album was def not a classic but it was a quality new west coast album
Fuck all ya’ll
can’t wait
kendrick can’t disappoint, hes that good
the king of hip hop is back, tupac would be proud of this man
LAME
^ your mother fgt
you’ve never even seen 2pac when he was alive. if 2pac was alive there would be know Kendrick Lamar cause he wouldn’t let his weird ass eat
nope if pac was alive hed be washed up, broke and talking shit about the golden years on vladtv
only reason hes praised the way he is was cuz he went out on top and we didn’t see his downfall
pac’s alive, he’s in cuba, stupid
What does a jew have to do with Hip-Hop?
How did he get his position?
Why do we care about his opinion on a black man’s album?
Shut the fuck up ZZzzz troll
word life god hip hops only meant for the gods and goddesses of this earf we temporarily live on no new races allowed even doe rick rubin started def jam…
Only people who listened to Good Kid, Madd City would be surprised by the influx of social commentary and upbeat music in Kendrick’s album… HiiiPower
K.dot is overrated
agree 100% the most overrated artist out! he is ok but nothing special and no hip hop god haha!
Overrated? are you even a Hip Hop fan?
He would be overated if this were 20 years ago. In these times, in commercial rap, he is one of the best out.
more upbeat, good for club and radio?? suddenly my interest went from auto buying to have to listen first before i spend money on it.
you dump ass listen to the whole thing
Definitely excited. Kendrick is a really fucking good writer. His word play is crazy to me. Definitely pushing the game too another level. Overly Dedicated still my favorite tape til this day
His word play sucks balls.
No, it doesn’t.
^yes it does, and so do you
It doesn’t suck balls, which is what you do.
WONDER HOW MUCH THESE PEOPLE ARE GETTING PAID TO HYPE UP KENDRICK…
hahahahahahahahahahah indeed
I bet you believe rappers are in the illuminati too
Although Kendrick is brilliant. this dude is a dick rider.
Rosenberg is getting money to hype up this album so he’s going to say this stuff regardless lol we know how the business works. Rap music is fueled by money and marketing very rarely is it artistry and passion
“yo god heres a stack to say good shit about these songs I let you hear on one of the most aniticipated albums coming out….”
the albums not coming out till 2015 so no you do not know how the business works
What about Drake he’s def underrated he is King of Rap
Haha, get the fuck out.
Kendrick (talent wise) is a beast on the mic
GKMC is way overrated
Section 80 is better than GKMC
Schoolboy Q is the white boy portal
Isaiah Rashad the second best in TDE
Drake’s music is way too feminine/homosexual for me
I hate “Thug life rap” music
I hope his next album is not in the likes of that “happy” single he put out.
Good Night
good morning
white boy portal?
Yup School Boy Q’s got that hyped up Kush smoking shit that the white boys love. Brilliant marketing to pull attention into TDE, till KL takes over.
Lmao oooo so that’s how their marketing meetings go over at tde…cuz he wasn’t putting that same music out three years ago when he dropped habits n contradictions right?

Cant wait 4 this album. I wonder wut J Cole been up to. that dude quiet af.
Rosenberg damn near creamed his pants when he heard those 4 songs.
Peter Rosenberg is a groupie who will toute anything that puts money in his ordinary pockets.
POM has sold 1.14 million.
In reality, it didn’t even dent 900K.
Damn…
…so much hype from a nuthugger.
