ye bully mode· editedanyone dying to compare this move to bonus tracks on GKMS
or hov remix to one of his biggest singles at the time loli’m glad ppl like the album but this move kinda confirmed it to me, this albums message just wasn’t really that captivating to me to return to it without a song that brings me back consistently
not to say united in grief isn’t a great an album opener, father time has catchy hook with great lyricism and mother i sober is beautiful, but i just feel like a lot of the other tracks fall flat in instrumentals, which was most disappointing for me, considering kendrick always had some of the best production on his stuff
standard edition gkmc cds got full on rereleased with the jay feature on them it’s obvious that was something different
May 27, 2022·1 replyye bully modethose were proper bonus tracks that legit added to the picture of the narrative he was setting
felt like legit movie extras
the heart touches on themes of the album but doesn’t reply reflect it’s main message / themes imo
its def not the same and it’s obvious this is to bring streaming numbers to an album without songs that listeners would care to listen to outside the context of the record
What's a proper bonus track or not is a pretty arbitrary thing to say. For me for example, the gkmc bonus tracks are great, i listen to them along with the default album, but narratively should've been in other parts of the tracklist, because compton is the credits of the gkmc movie, but then you have tracks like black boy fly and county building blues which feel like they fit more inside the album after that. In streaming services you also have the bdkmv remixes that again dont fit with the album but are just cool bonuses. This is what heart pt 5 is to me: a cool bonus, so i dont get the outrage. Donda had its bonus tracks, and sometimes i skip them, sometimes i dont, they dont change my feelings on the album. Its just 1 good song added lol, if he did it to add to his sales (and lets be honest heart pt 5 wont change the results that much) or not isnt a concern to me because i dont care how this album performs
May 27, 2022Water GiverNo, kinda.
Its just at the very end.
Officially its said because Kendrick & Cole got to do a session together at the last minute (Cole made the Hiii beat n they did some other stuff like the Temptation song that almost made S80 but no time/room so it got pushed back for their now shelved collab album) of Section 80 being wrapped up so it wasnt planned originally nor had time to sequence it, & he didnt want it to be a loosie or a vaulted leftover so he just kinda slapped it in, & iirc S***With Society got taken out for it (right choice if true).
Hope since Cole has Dreamville, n Kendrick is fully off TDE going forward with PGLang, the collab album of them two in whatever form can finally happen since they both mentioned around KOD n DAMN times that it was the label politics & publishing webs that were f***ing it all up.
But now Cole is mostly in charge of whatever he wants to do, & same will be for Kendrick after MMBS touring.
Would be dope to see in their now later vet years.

Didnt know about this, thanks for the info
May 27, 2022*kendrick label most likely did this…and y’all act like that’s not his solo song, I understand if it was on some him doing this with a song he’s feaured on, then it’s a problem

donda bonus tracks were also sack bc they showed ye was insecure about what would stream most. it felt more like a business decision in the streaming business than creative decision
some ppl hail donda as a late career revival (and it came close to being so)
but there’s many that criticized ur for the same
it feels lazy and makes audience feel like the themes / narrative trying to be conveyed aren’t really as important as u putting at least 3/4 of these songs in ur (choose ur mood/activity) playlist lol

I used donda as an example of how i feel about bonus tracks but i can see your point of view and its not wrong at all. I just think that heart pt 5 here is a nice bonus, nothing more, nothing less, and people thinking this is to have higher 2nd week numbers is laughable because heart part 5 is just one song and not the kind of song to increase the numbers

He doesn‘t give a s*** about „which song is streaming the most“
Some people itt just talking dumb s***
He dropped ye and JIK. Both were short albums and JIK is considered by far his worst album. If he really cared about the streams he would make different music in the first place lmao

It kinda fits the album theme too so it's whatever
On Mirror he talks about running away from the culture and the next song is about "the culture"The next level cope is insane
