Hip-hop mogul Kendrick Lamar released his latest project, untitled unmastered., a follow-up compilation to his Grammy award winning album, To Pimp a Butterfly.

The album is eight tracks worth of unfinished demos from his last full-length LP that fans (including LeBron James, apparently) have wanted him to release for download after he performed some of these tracks on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon and The Colbert Report.

Like his last album, this compilation includes elements of jazz, funk and soul, but this project lacks the same grandiose production. It also doesn’t feature the complex messages and intricate lyrics, it just contains his half-baked thoughts.

Yes, effort was put into untitled unmastered., but not the same as a Section .80 or a good kid, m.A.A.d city. It wasn’t meant to be a genre-changing album, it’s just throwaway tracks. In other words, simply food for the fans.

But these tracks give us an insight of what’s going in the mind of King Kendrick, and it seems as if he’s as pessimistic as ever. Talking about his separation from God on numerous occasions.

On “untitled 05,” when he raps, “Once upon I went to church and talked to God, now I’m thinking to myself hollow tips is all I got.”

The album starts off with R&B singer Bilal attempting to be sexually enticing- keyword: attempting- and then the track flips to a beat that could’ve come off an Earl Sweatshirt LP. Kendrick finishes the song off with a fast-paced verse filled with passion. He talks about everything from “running in place trying to make it to church” to how the rap game should be eternally grateful to him for releasing classic albums.

The album continues with “untitled 02,” a track that features lyrics from his performance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. He isn’t as animated as he was during his live performance, he sported a more nonchalant flow on the album version. The verses are filled with his raw ideas

“untitled 03” is the first untitled track that was performed and he played it prior to the release of his last album. It could’ve easily fit into To Pimp a Butterfly with its discussion of racial issues as he raps in the perspective of every race. He rhymes, “That’s what the white man wanted when I rhyme, telling me that he selling me just for $10.99,” claiming that he even when he makes money off of rapping, his bosses will always have a larger profit off of his success.

“untitled 04,” the shortest track on the album, epitomizes the album as a whole. It contains an overarching theme, a truly creative idea, but it just sounds incomplete. R&B singer SZA sings “They say the government mislead the youth, youth, youth, youth. And welfare don’t mean well for you, you, you, you,” as Lamar secretly whispers in the background.
