86. Kendrick Lamar - “untitled 07 | 2014 - 2016”

Unfortunately, this song in its full and unaltered glory doesn’t exist within a streamable format on the Internet. So instead you’re left with this little snippet of what should be an over eight minute song. If you have yet to hear the whole version, then I recommend doing yourself a favor and downloading it from whatever (ir)reputable source you use.

The complete version of this song is like a full on story arch, a trilogy of adrenaline, bravado, and relaxation running through the ears. It shows the many sides of Kendrick, the struggle of a life so equally gorged and torn with success, temptation, responsibility and bliss. It’s like gaining a glimpse into his mind, wandering through the halls and the different rooms that all of us possess, where apparent contradictory personas are forced to coexist and get a long with one another. You see the multifaceted life of a star trying to cope - of a human just like the rest of us navigating his way through life, and its all done in a way that is purely Kendrick, meaning its incisive, astute and wholly enjoyable.
