SOUND & COLOR: THE SONGS, 2015.


04/kendrick lamar/king kunta

February 2011:

March 2015:

"Stuck a flag in my city, everybody's screamin' "Compton!"/I should probably run for Mayor when I'm done, to be honest/And I put that on my Mama and my baby boo too/Twenty million walkin' out the court buildin', woo woo!/Ah yeah, fuck the judge, I made it past 25 and there I was/A little nappy-headed nigga with the world behind him/Life ain't shit but a fat vagina/Screamin' "Annie, are you okay? Annie, are you okay?"/Limo tinted with the gold plates/Straight from the bottom, this the belly of the beast/From a peasant to a prince to A MOTHERFUCKIN' KING!"

- K.Dot.

king kunta. stuntin', boastin', straight west coastin'. now he run the game got the whole world talkin'.  he who's got the yams, and that funk. that funk we want, and that funk we need. right here. his hair is nappy, his nose is wide and he is KING. king kunta. black man taking no losses. on wax, in these streets, in this country. he made it past 25 and here we are, with all eyes on him, leanin' back and ruling the scene. king kunta is an instant classic addition to the west coast hip hop cannon, all funk and bass, freedom and rebellion. it's to pimp a butterfly's mission statement, straight from the bottom, reaching out touching the masses, keeping it 100. from a peasant to a prince to a motherfucking king. two-step, dab, and give the man the respect he's earned and deserves.
