Kendrick Lamar Leaks From “To Pimp A Butterfly” Album Make Rounds Online

Kendrick Lamar’s Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers undeniably became one of the most successful albums released in 2022. Even with all the new tracks he provided his fans this year, though, the Compton native has still fallen victim to a leak.

As HipHopNMore reports, a handful of titles from his To Pimp A Butterfly era have surfaced online. The father of two is no stranger to antics like this. In early 2018, a selection of his Kanye West collaborations made rounds across the internet. That same year, songs made with artists like SZA and Jay Rock also unexpectedly showed up.

2019 was when fans heard several random records of Lamar’s from 2009 without his consent. Finally, in 2020 he fell victim once again, although some of those leaks did end up on his 2022 album in one capacity or another.

On Sunday (December 11) the culprits struck again, sharing some throwaway titles from the DAMN. rapper’s 2015 album. Firstly, we have “Falsehood.” The groovy song consists of three verses, the last of which we previously heard on the album version of “i.”

As our source notes, the track features a bar seemingly written for Dr. Dre to record. Instead, Kung-Fu Kenny gives us his best impression of the “Still D.R.E.” hitmaker.

Another surprisingly surfaced title is “Organized Madness.” Far less orthodox in nature, it boasts an appearance from Thundercat at the end. Close listeners will notice that some of the lyrics from the unused song were reworked into “Complexion.”

In other news, it was revealed at the end of November that K-Dot is due to headline 2023’s Primavera Sound Festival. If audiences are lucky, he just may perform some of these random new arrivals during his time on stage.

Ye’s IG Account Temporarily Blocked After Teasing New Song 

It seems as though Ye has completely forgotten about being a rapper recently. The disgraced artist hasn’t dropped any new music to streaming platforms since last year’s bloated Donda album. Instead, he’s opted to go on a dangerous media run full of hate speech and antisemitism.

Somehow all of these antics are supposed to be part of his campaign to run for President again in 2024.

Ye Reveals New Snippet

Late last night, the Chicago native took to his Instagram account to preview a new song titled “Someday We’ll All Be Free.” The song samples Donny Hathaway’s 1973 song of the same name.

He chose Instagram because his Twitter account is still suspended. The platform announced his ban after the father of four tweeted a picture of a swastika. 

However, Instagram was also quick to remove the post and temporarily ban his account – again

In the snippet, Ye can be heard addressing some of his recent comments and past relationships. “How thin this air is, friends just staring / And everyone’s a Karen / When they claim they care and / Wasn’t given a fair hand,” he spits.

“I know it’s ‘cause the headlines / why [you] wanna leave,” he continues, seemingly a response to his divorce with reality star Kim Kardashian.

Most of the bars are exactly what he rapped in an acapella freestyle from his notes while being interviewed by Alex Jones last week.

The song ends with a sample of the pair’s conversation on Jones’ InfoWars show. “There’s a lot of things that I love,” the 45-year old rapper says. This comment was a response to a question posed by the host, asking if it’s just the uniforms that he likes about Nazis.

The InfoWars host is a conspiracy theorist who has repeatedly spread disinformation surrounding the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting. He believes it was a “giant hoax.”

Earlier this year, a judge ordered the far-right radio show host to pay the families of the victims a combined $965 million. The conspiracy theorist has since denounced Ye’s anti-semitic remarks. I miss the old Kanye.
