Rumors On Kendrick Lamar's New Single "King Kunta"

Rumor has it that Kendrick Lamar’s getting ready to drop his hottest track yet. According to Scott Verner (HBO Music Supervisor), during a trip to the studio to visit Pharrell (who was working with Kendrick that night) the TDE front man unveiled some of his latest work from his upcoming album, including a new track entitled “King Kunta.” And in a Kanye-like rant over Twitter, Scott went bananas, spewing out one tweet after another detailing his experience and the overall greatness of the track. Whether or not his reaction was overblown, considering Kendrick’s major success over the years, it’s no question that he warrants all the hype surrounding his new work. According to Scott’s Twitter, here’s how it all unfolded:

 

Let me paint the picture… I walked into the studio to P and found myself in a room with 12 people listening to P x KDot sketching an idea for a song. When they were done. K broke out his lap top and played a song that f*cked me up for real. I’m sitting here trying to think of ways to explain it with words. It just made me feel so much. It took me back to a place that i loved so much about hip hop. Literally was watching Kendrick perform his song in front of us and as my girlfriend said. It gave her chills. This dude is on some other sh*t. This song took me all the way back to 90s hip hop and back and gave me a tour of the cultural fabric of LA like never before. During the song, Pharrells engineer whispered to me “Dre had to produce this. This has to be Dre.” It had these dusty drums with an updated sound, hard hitting bass lines. It felt like the song took a different turn every 4 bars. Once that happen u didn’t know what to expect. This dude doesn’t want a Grammy he’s making movies. This sh*t should get an academy award ha. This dude @SounwaveTDE has laced you guys with something so special. I am DYING for everyone to hear it. He had a similar flow to James Brown in “Payback” talking like a conversation and rapping hard as hell. The way they made this song it like the way bands would get together and jam back in the day. There is no way that @kendricklamar and @SounwaveTDE weren’t together every step of the way this song was made. The track and the vocals were having a conversation like Jazz musicians would improvise. This is gonna F*CK U ALL UP hahahahah. West Coast music is back.
