Here, Lamar is looking at the ills of his culture both from an internal and external perspective. ![]() ![]() “untitled 02” finds Lamar atop an instrumental from Cardo and Young Exclusive that blends nightmarish synths with blasts of horns and keys that sound culled from a drawing room mystery. The power of Kendrick has always been his ability to see all sides of the world around him, especially those most rappers don’t dare immerse themselves in. Again, no topic is too weighty or broad for Kendrick’s scope, and he wrestles with oft-explored issues like race relations, poverty and industry stereotypes by presenting his internal conflict baldly. Recorded largely during the same period as TPAB, this collection of demos plays as equally fascinating, if not quite as sonically developed.
