There was some June 2014 low quality pics of Kendrick on a escalator and they was claiming he was in South Africa for some months

All the "legit" corny meanings of To Pimp A Butterfly too n all the rumors of it being Dre focused or even scrapped for Detox, n the fake physical album someone "leaked" online n his sister had to shut it down

That's true damn

I remember for a VERY short time people really thought artwork would be black and the tracks would be titled Track 1,2,3 just because it was pre-loaded earlier on iTunes and didn't have all the info yet plus it leaked a week early too right?

The dead embed link goes to the official upload, which does have a woman breastfeeding as the cover art

This was official though nothing lost about this he just caught flack cause they said he stole the pic and had to delete it

There was some old janky instrumental that Complex posted before Feb 9 maybe mid to late January if you are able to find the og upload would be insane considering it's lost now as I remember it

oh yeah, i didn't mean to contradict you. I was just confirming what you said about the cover art. In the story as it is now, the youtube link is dead.
