    We need Ali back to talk about To Pimp a Butterfly. GKMC was amazing but they stepped it up again with TPAB.

    • @kfras0200
      @kfras0200 8 років тому +6

      +GuerillaMusic7 I disagree. To Pimp A Butterfly is nowhere near as good as Good Kid... However, I have a feeling whatever they do next will be better than both.

      +kfras0200 I agree GKMC was a better album.

    • @elansings
      @elansings 5 років тому +3

      GKMC is a classic based on Kdots life growing up. TPAB is more like a revelation after he entered adulthood and music industry that it’s not what he thought it is. Both are amazing in their own regard. I feel it’s hard to compare them as they both stand on their own merit. Kendrick had more time when he was making GKMC than TPAB. So there are more details and harmonies in GKMC. Anyway that’s just my 1 cent 🥳 All I know is GkMc and Kendrick saved my life so I’m thankful for that. God bless y’all

    Good Kid Maad City was one of my most influential pieces of music as a teenager - I felt like I knew every single bit of it. Now I‘m watching this getting back to the album and notice all the tiny little details that make this piece of music so unique. Been into mixing music for 3-4 years but I never really noticed how different "unexperienced" listeners actually perceive sound - mindblowing

    Not always. I keep top end in my kicks all the time. Especially if youre using 808s. The high end makes them stand out in the mix. Also boom bap 90s beats, i keep most of my high end. Especially if the kick is sampled from vinyl. Theres no cookie cutter way to kicks! Keep your top end on your next track and see how it sounds! Try it in a car with subs or a biiiig concert setups, thats why dance music keeps top end, helps it stand out amongst the bass!
