    Throw aways that did not make it on to pimp a butterfly. Honestly sounds horrible and very unbearable to listen to. This throw away album is by far his worst project to date. Yet people who aren't real fans of music will try to declare this to be one of the best rap albums of the past 15 years. The kendrick empowerment wave has to end soon and he needs to actually supply us with good musicThrow aways that did not make it on to pimp a butterfly.

    It's typical of Lamr's artistry that even a comp of offcuts comes formatted and conceptualised. [Jun 2016, p.75]

    The 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.

    Kendrick 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.
