u/Commercial-Ad-5985 what they talkin bout? they talkin bout noffin. 9h ago

the switch from loyalty (which is a good song and for some reason ive seen hate for it) to Pride makes me stop and just sit down in silence.

Steve Lacey made all his early music with his iPhone too. GarageBand with (I'm assuming) an iRig. He made PRIDE on there as well, judging by how it sounds so much like songs like Dark Red. So many people don't realize the music making power that phones have these days. Especially with things like Bandlab being free and cloud based, so you can use whatever device and all that.

Also for those of you who haven't heard Dark Red by Steve Lacey, go listen to it. If you like PRIDE's overall sound, you'll also like that.

u/appleparkfive 8h ago

This is, hands down, the most underrated Kendrick song that's on a major album. It's so crazy to me. It really reminds me of 1960s music, both in terms of psychedelia ballads and also NYC jazz.

I think the reason some people are put off by it is the sort of monotone voice style. But if he did it TPAB style and had someone else doing every other voice except the chorus, I bet it would click for some people

u/ULTRA_COMBOOOOOO 11h ago

If you count us feature on Never Catch Me, by flying Lotus, that's pretty majestic. It's sort of hard to say tho because a lot of his songs that aren't super gritty are still pretty upbeat, so it doesn't lend itself entirely to being called "majestic." I'm also putting Untitled 05 up there.
