Jul 19, 2023Review só pra lembrar a nota que eu dei pro album:
album mt bom, agora só escrever pra passar dos 75 caracteres. -
Jun 26, 2023how are the reviews so high on this, this is the worst Kendrick project by far and its not a 6 only because untitled 07 is really good
-
Feb 8, 2023Ha sido una buena decision por parte de Kendrick leakear sus propias canciones y darnos un album tan bueno.
-
Dec 23, 2022super underrated and levels above DAMN in every single way. best side Bs from the best album ever
-
Oct 2, 2022Even Kendrick's L's are still W's. His standards are through the roof and it shows here. Even all these bangers aren't good enough.
-
Aug 21, 2022Even his b sides or leftovers records are better than most other rappers albums. It's stunning atp!
-
Jul 17, 2022This throwaway EP is shockingly great - in fact, it's better than majority of the current rap albums.
-
Jun 20, 2022This throwaway rap album is literally better than most of the rap albums being released nowadays. Most rappers would have had this album as their best album of all time in their discographies if it was made by them. This album proves that Kendrick Lamar is in a league of his own, and none of his peers can match up to him.
-
May 14, 2022This is a leftover album yet its some of the most beautiful jazz rap i've ever heard
-
May 13, 2022‘Untitled Unmastered’- unbelievable that these songs didn’t make the album. The best bunch of left overs ever but it doesn’t flow amazingly for an album.
-
Nov 25, 2020These are leftovers from to pimp a butterfly and it's still amazing. That just comes to show how good tpab was. But then again then is just a leftover album so it can only be so good but it's still better than most albums released these days. More people should listen to this. Standout tracks are untitled 02 and untitled 07.
-
Oct 15, 2020The fact is throways is better than half of the hip-hop albums out there is thrilling. This man is at another league.
-
Jun 8, 2020Kendrick's B-sides are way better than most artists' best albums. I don't know if there's much more to say. This album is a great album in itself, and when you consider it was the throwaway tracks from TPAB, it just becomes even better. Kendrick is truly a blessing to our ears. Favorite track: Untitled 08

Mar 25, 2020As an album of throwaways, this album is very good. There are a couple of songs on the album that don't particularly interest me, but that's acceptable considering it's an album of throwaways. untitled 02, and untitled 07 are the best songs on the album in my opinion.
-
Feb 9, 2020Em um dia sem fazer nada Kendrick Lamar juntou umas sobras de músicas e lançou nas suas plataformas digitais, um álbum desfigurado mas mesmo assim conseguiu acertar, eu chamaria ele pra um churrasco aqui em casa...
-
Oct 11, 2019The expirmental nature of the album is a pleasing change of course for kendrick. Though many of his fans regect it for this fact alone, it is still a great work of art from an outside perspective.
-
May 28, 2019Considering that this project is made up of a bunch of thrown away songs just shows how amazing it is. Only Kendrick Lamar can pull this off. The project is amazing
-
Feb 15, 2019Untitled Unmastered by Kendrick Lamar may not be a studio album, but even a compilation album is Fantastic. It contains eight demo song on the compilation album that weren't on TPAB. The eight songs on the album are beautiful. I highly recommended.

Jul 17, 2017great album............................................................................................................................................................
-
Jun 25, 2017definetly slept on project easily one of kendricks most fluent albums ever its lyrics and beats show tht for demos they are potential hits the tpab missed in tht sense but however lacks some of the element hes known for best tracks untitled 8, 7, 3 and 2 obviously not his best but definetly a underrated classic jazz rap album and also slept but give it a listen guys its gd
-
Apr 22, 2017Even the B-sides from To Pimp a Butterfly are lyrically and musically amazing. Kendrick can't go wrong at this point whether it be poetical, conscious or contemporary with levitate (the intro to untitled 7)
-
Apr 16, 2017Again a great piece of work by Kendrick. Even the trash songs of ''Butterfly'' are incredible. He knows what he is doing, he has a strong character and the music he makes - cooperates is creative, outside of the box.
-
Dec 2, 2016Leftover stuff that didn't make the final cut of TPAB. Nice production, lyrics work, catchy and all that good stuff. Kendrick is a genius once again but you knew that already.

Jul 15, 2016Head is the answer! Do you want more lyrical hip-hop with a socially conscious edge?! Take a minute or two to listen to this expanded view into Kendrick's mind during the creation of TPAB. Pimp, pimp, HOORAY!!
-
Jul 3, 2016Where To Pimp a Butterfly was immediate with its approach, this collection of b-sides is triumphant in its hidden messages, slowly building with every progressive verse.
-

Apr 23, 2016It's a true testament to the genius of Kendrick Lamar that a collection of his throwaways, demos and behind-the-scenes recordings can be such a compelling, visceral and beautiful listen. Functioning almost as the epilogue to To Pimp A Butterfly (which itself was a masterpiece), untitled unmastered may very well earn a spot in the top 5 albums of 2016 when all is said and done.
-
Apr 23, 2016I feel like it's just me, but I did not love this album. I like what he did here, I like the jazz-y/relaxed feel, but as a whole I just don't love it. I can't see myself listening to this over and over again. Kendrick Lamar is such an influential artist and this album does not make me think any less of him.
Favorites: untitled 2, untitled 8 -
Apr 5, 201683/100. Definitely not Kendrick's best album, but still a gold mine. Best songs on the album are untitled 2, 5, and 6. Still meaningful lyrics, and a great incorporation of real instruments into the beats.
-
Apr 3, 2016Brilliant! Kendrick gives us a vibe similar to TPAB, but also something we have never seen before. The best B-Sides album, to be released since Amy Winehouse's.

Mar 22, 2016Cornrow Kenny, he was born with a vision. Damn right he was. Kendrick is now in a group of elite artists who have struck gold on ALL their projects. Kendrick can do no wrong now
-
Mar 21, 2016
-
Mar 16, 2016Ironic how something so raw can be so precise. Rather than merely dabbling in Jazz, Kendrick jumps full in on this EP, and gives the listeners a groove-sesh feel.
-
Mar 16, 2016untitled unmastered. is a masterful, cohesive extension of Kendrick's previous project To Pimp A Butterfly. It obviously doesn't reach the monumental heights that TPAB achieved, but this project is so intricate and the lyrics are so dense, just like it's predecessor. This EP hardly feels "unmastered."

Mar 10, 2016I can only describe it as a really strong rap-funk album. I really enjoyed these songs. Great use of horns, bass guitar, drums. All the songs are enjoyable to listen to, aside from 07 and 02. This is the best album of 2016 thus far, better than Macklemore's better than Kanye's TLOP.
A must listen. -

Mar 10, 2016This album shows again why Kendrick is in the top-5 rappers right now. The beats are different to other todays rappers, who just have a boring, low bass rhythms. Kendrick has interesting beats, many of them even made with real instruments, which is pretty rare in todays music. And of course the rapping is straight fire like we have got used to with Kendrick.

Mar 8, 2016As an EP this is another masterpiece by Kendrick. Although it doesn't quite live up to the standards of his last 2 albums it is still a great way to end the TPAB era. Listen and enjoy.
-
Mar 8, 2016Literally the beats, the vibe, and the lyrics are what makes this one of my favorite albums. Kendrick, can spit rhymes like it's something normal to him. To Pimp A Butterfly is genuine and beautifully written. This is one is perfect in every way. Love how he combines his beats. To me, he's the king of lyrics. Please don't hate, it's just my opinion. King KUNTA!

Mar 7, 2016Nothing but solid leftovers and ideas from "to pimp a butterfly". This might hurt the chances of a cole x lamar collab mixtape, album etc. overall solid ep
-
Mar 7, 2016Great EP from Kendrick even tho it's leftovers from TPAB sessions, I enjoyed it quite a lot and I'm happy Kendrick decided to share these songs with the fans.

Mar 6, 2016While deliberately meant to feel like an incomplete, imperfect piece, this collection of B-sides manages to hold its own just fine. Highlights include the urgent, noir jazz drumming of 'Untitled 05' and the splendidly catchy 'Untitled 08'.

Mar 6, 2016definitely a game changer and a masterpiece, here Kendrick is showcasing his lyrical prowess irrevocably, this is gonna enjoy its time on all the world hip hop and rap charts, though the most interesting fact about it is that he is representing his roots at the same time minding the classiness
-
Mar 6, 2016Beautiful. Incredibly enjoyable. It is genius how Kendrick can mix genres. A lot of people see this EP as a bunch of throwaway tracks, but really it is some of Kendricks best work, as he mixes jazz and rap possibly better than he done in to pimp a butterfly. Plus, it was great to hear Kendrick do something i thought he would not do again in untitled 7, as he shows his versatility.
-
Mar 5, 2016kendrick lamar is transcending beyond what a rapper is. by incorporating many different styles and themes tracks on this ep, lamar displays his versatility as an artist and hope for hip-hop in the modern era. #legendstatus
-
Mar 5, 2016This obviously sounds like the leftovers of To Pimp a Butterfly, although some of these songs are probably better than some tracks on TPAB. Hate to say it, but Kendrick should've added some of these songs on a deluxe edition. Even though they aren't exactly perfect to be in the album, I believe these tracks were phenomenal.
-
Mar 5, 2016The songs we had already heard sounded one thousand times better live than the plain lifeless studio versions. The album feels like one long song for the most part, but not in a good way. I dont know why he still feels the need to use so many different voices but it grew tiresome along time ago.

Mar 5, 2016With this album, Kendrick proves he is, currently, one of the best rappers in the industry and that he will be here for a long time. As it is supposed to be an unfinished record, it looks like a finished, mastered one.
-
Mar 5, 2016Kendrick is way above the whole music industry right now. He is confident and original. An EP of leftovers is better than most of the solo projects these days. Kendrick is a confirmed legend
-
Mar 4, 2016if you're expecting a "good kid,m.A.A.d city bamber well you're dissapointed this b-side album is in a way a mirror image of to pimp a butterfly which tracks did not amke the final cut it's an unfinished work but raerly sound like it i loved to pimp a butterfly and ditto with untiled unmastered
-
Mar 4, 2016Kendrick's throw away's are better than most music that has come out in the past year and this EP is cohesive and fit together and are all very enjoyable. I can not wait for what he will do next
-

Mar 4, 2016It took me a few listens to fully get into the album, but they really grew on me. I was so impressed by how these were songs that didn't make the cut in TPAB, yet we're still great. It just that speaks to say how Kendrick's "trash" is still treasure. I'm excited for what he'll do next.
-
Mar 4, 2016Probably the worst of his 4 albums, if you can even call it an album. However, thats like saying Jordan's worst championship team, still amazing. 10/10
-
Mar 4, 2016Although these are his cast offs, the "album" still has a sort of cohesion to it because they were written around the time TPAB was being created and his extra thoughts are put together in this 'unmastered-piece' .
Love it for what it is. -
Mar 4, 2016Don't expect "fire" or a complete idea or thought like To Pimp a Butterfly but its remarkable how his songs not good enough for the album are better than most other rappers.
-
Mar 4, 2016Album with throwaway tracks, yet it is still very cohesive and surprisingly polished. Kendrick experiments with different flows and instrumentals, and it is terrific. Though a b-side project, lyricism and delivery is still as strong as any Kendrick project. Amazing artist.
-
Mar 4, 2016Kendrick lamar's throwaways put together and all I have to say is that this project is amazing. Im not going to compare it to his previous projects due to the fact that it is too short. just enjoy it.

UncutApr 27, 2016It's typical of Lamr's artistry that even a comp of offcuts comes formatted and conceptualised. [Jun 2016, p.75]
-
Apr 22, 2016The songs here appear to be fragments sewn together so looking to find any cohesive narrative is beside the point, nor is there any pressure for there to be any obvious hits on the album. The effect is that the focus is shifted to Lamar’s vocal performance and serves as more evidence that he’s not only the foremost rapper of his generation, but is fast becoming one of the most effective vocalists full-stop.
-
Apr 13, 2016Kendrick Lamar’s talent is superficial in the extreme, plumbing his own creative depths with an unerring attention to detail. With untitled unmastered., he has found another way to sheathe people in his compelling vision.
