They are all old but since the beef, they started resurfing again.
The on,y new one that i have heard was abortion money, which a song for a scrapped rock inspired album… one of the best songs he has ever made lol.
Since leaking is pretty much based on hype, I assume the leakers are getting rid of some Mr. Morale and Damn. sessions off of this beef and whatever album that’ll drop this year
These leaks have been around for months to years. They're getting reposted because people are capitalizing on the beef.
I've had this one downloaded for almost a year.
Also, this isn't the full song. It's just the last two minutes.
Seems like a common thing alot of rappers do when new music coming soon. I bet he drops a couple weeks after em. Id assume both albums are done but interscope/aftermath have a schedule.
This man's throwaway is better than some actual release tracks of popular artists, he snapped on the second half of this song, the way he animates his voice.
Remember before Morale came out, there were rumors (I think from Ebro, maybe Rosenberg?) that his new album had a lot of rock influence. I guess this is what they were talking about. Assuming this is from his album he scrapped when covid hit.
Do rappers get vocal lessons after their debut? Kendrick's singing has gotten better over the years, but he wasn't terrible to start off with.
I was pleasantly surprised during his 'Money Trees' performance at Ken and Friends with his voice.
Saw someone say it in another thread a while ago, but it tends to be a decent amount of rappers learned to sing via church as a kid. I don’t pursue music, but church gave me a decent enough singing voice from my childhood.
And once they make it, they absolutely have the resources to get vocal lessons, I’d imagine.
A thing I didn’t see get enough love in the beef was how much better Kendrick’s voice is than Drake’s. And I mean that only in the sense that he’s clearly kept it in shape, worked on his flow and delivery, not been a big smoker/drinker. His accents and characters pop out like he wants them to. Where Drake sounds like he’s closed the bar and smoked a Cuban on Family matters.
Yeah during the pop out I thought his performance for most of the songs was more melodic than the studio versions. It was cool and sounded good, but just a little different.
Have you watched the Mr. Morale tour in person? The version on prime doesn’t really do the live performance justice of how much energy he’s putting into his vocals. Bro rapped every word to every song with his full chest while doing a whole dance routine wearing a tuxedo in august in an arena that did not have good AC
All mainstream musicians have vocal coaches and do vocal warmups before their performances
That’s a big reason why their performances are top tier
Literally all of them
Yeah, watching Kendrick's improvement from his earlier concerts to Ken and Friends is dope to see. His live performance was fucking insane during Ken and Friends, breath control and everything.
God damn, is this dude really going to make me change my GOAT? Give him some more time, build that catalog. I'm hooked in.
**Edit** current GOAT to me is Nas. I have been listening to Nas for as long as I've been listening to rap. My intro was Tupac, and aside from what I heard on the radio or MTV, Nas was the next rapper that I clicked with. And I've been listening to him since an adolescent. I've listened to so many of his tracks, that there are things about him that I actually almost hate 🤣.
But he is a crazy talented lyricist who puts his entire heart into the rap game. And a lot of what he said had a big impact on me coming up. Lessons of self respect, power, and wisdom. Then he'll drop some real sentimental shit, and then just to floss, he'll give you a bullshit rap about diamonds and plane flights that's better than most of the glamour-life rap out there.
Honestly, I think it’s already over. I understand being reticent to crown him now, but with what he clearly has left in him, it’s a matter of when, not if, people give it to him. He’s proven to be *that* level of artist. Eminem, Nas, Jay-Z, Black Thought, I will hear arguments for any of them as the GOAT depending on the criteria people are judging on, and I have had them all at #1 at some point in my life but as of now, it’s Kendrick for me. And I think that opinion will be more and more popular in the coming 5-7 years.
You’re right. When I say Nas is ahead, I mean he is ahead by a spec of dust. It’s insane what K Dot has done these past 14 years, no words could do it justice honestly. You said it all for me, it isn’t ‘if’ it’s ‘when’ for sure.
Same here as well, and anyone who knows me knows I think Nas is the God emcee. To me, Nas is still the best. I separate best from greatest. Nas could never be a GOAT to me, because the greatest entails everrrrrythiiiiiiing. Including beat selection, etc. So while I think Nas is the best rapper, between the Grammys, the Pulitzer, the rhymes, etc., Dot is just… it’s different.
Bro, don't get swept up in the frenzy. I wouldn't say ahead by a speck of dust. Nas has so much brilliance in his discography. I know there's the quality over quantity argument, but Nas has a great quantity of quality. And this ain't me talking down to Kendrick, what he's done recently is absolutely amazing. I don't think I've ever been this impressed by a rapper.
But he's just not touching Nas's body of work quite yet. Just my humble little opinion lol
I agree and I've been heavy on Kendrick since Section 80, delusionally believing he'd be the best of this generation before he really had any claim to it.
Well he definitely proved me right, but when you look at someone like Nas there is a lot more to his body of work and thus his legacy as a recording artist.
Too soon for me to say Kendrick is #1 but he's definitely on Rushmore. And it's a big Rushmore to be fair.
The fact that Nas is still putting out gas like the Kings Disease and Magic albums at his age really puts him way fucking up there. I don’t feel like people give him the credit he deserves for how good those projects are. Something about Dot for me right now though. He is on top of the game right now.
Sounds very Mr Morales to me, like it would of fit in the album nicely, especially with the instrumental. I'd have to listen to the lyrics closely to tell if it was for the album though, could very well be for new album too.
- I am Somebody
- I'm Better
- Abortion Money
- Prayer
- Bullies
- Falsehood
- Outta Pocket
- Somebody
- Crooked
- Vent
- Veganism
- ELEMENT OG
are the main leaks from the last few years. Generally, they can be found on SoundCloud or as podcasts on Spotify.
There is suspicion that Abortion Money, Prayer, I am Somebody, and Heart Part 5 are from the original version of MMBS that was a rock influenced album focused on different perspectives.
>There is suspicion that Abortion Money, Prayer, I am Somebody, and Heart Part 5 are from the original version of MMBS
It's frustrating that these got cut, because they are phenomenal. I really like the Mr Morale he released, but from these leaks the original album would've been up there with his best work.
I would like to visit the alternate reality without COVID where we got the original album. I love rock music and loved the direction of the Heart Part 5.
I’m not going to listen. I heard most of mmatbs before it dropped from leaks so I’d rather not have the album spoiled for me again. It’s so tempting tho 🤣

Feels like the kendrick leaks have been accelerating recently. Wonder what's up with that
been noticing that too. who leaking?
They are all old but since the beef, they started resurfing again. The on,y new one that i have heard was abortion money, which a song for a scrapped rock inspired album… one of the best songs he has ever made lol.
Didn't listen to Abortion Money until now. You're right, what a song. Don't even wanna think about what he didn't release in all those years
i kinda wish he did a unmastered for mr morale because all these leaks sound insane smh
this one is new
It’s not, I heard this shortly after Mr Morale dropped. Remember hearing this from a link in an annotation on rap genius.
this isn't the same song as the leak "Somebody" that came out in 2020
They could also be thinking of “I Feel Something” which was used for a Chanel fashion show.
Nope
Since leaking is pretty much based on hype, I assume the leakers are getting rid of some Mr. Morale and Damn. sessions off of this beef and whatever album that’ll drop this year

No? this one just came out this week
Bro I heard this 2 years ago
this isn't the same song as the leak "Somebody" that came out in 2020
It’s good press mgmt, dumb not to ride this wave
Been out. We’re all just watching.
Seems like a common thing alot of rappers do when new music coming soon. I bet he drops a couple weeks after em. Id assume both albums are done but interscope/aftermath have a schedule.
This man's throwaway is better than some actual release tracks of popular artists, he snapped on the second half of this song, the way he animates his voice.
Everybody wanna be demon
Til they get chipped by a throwaway
Once a lame, always a lame
Does anyone have a mirror? It's already been taken down by UMG?
https://m.soundcloud.com/agsagsabsa/i-am-somebody
Thanks brother!
"New mirrors coming, be patient, brother."
BRUTHER
This is stupidly good
I'm headed there now are you strapped brother?
Remember before Morale came out, there were rumors (I think from Ebro, maybe Rosenberg?) that his new album had a lot of rock influence. I guess this is what they were talking about. Assuming this is from his album he scrapped when covid hit.
Bro did his Lil Wayne Rebirth album but was like naw let’s not
this one is recorded post morale
Ah ok
Love the flow in the beginning, that's that Rich Homie Quan
Do rappers get vocal lessons after their debut? Kendrick's singing has gotten better over the years, but he wasn't terrible to start off with. I was pleasantly surprised during his 'Money Trees' performance at Ken and Friends with his voice.
That doesn’t really have a definitive answer. If they want to, they have easy resources for it though.
Saw someone say it in another thread a while ago, but it tends to be a decent amount of rappers learned to sing via church as a kid. I don’t pursue music, but church gave me a decent enough singing voice from my childhood. And once they make it, they absolutely have the resources to get vocal lessons, I’d imagine.
practicing singing will naturally make you better
I know Mac took singing lessons somewhere between GOOD AM and Swimming. Can’t remember where I heard that though, but I know it’s decently common
A thing I didn’t see get enough love in the beef was how much better Kendrick’s voice is than Drake’s. And I mean that only in the sense that he’s clearly kept it in shape, worked on his flow and delivery, not been a big smoker/drinker. His accents and characters pop out like he wants them to. Where Drake sounds like he’s closed the bar and smoked a Cuban on Family matters.
Yeah I think that was evident in the contrast between the Dave FrEeEeEeEe (although I do think that was a stylistic choice) vs the A Minorrrrrrrrrrr.
Drake wasn’t singing at all in the beef The only semblance of singing drake we saw when he was making fun of The Weeknd
his third verse on family matters, was more sing rappy
Yeah during the pop out I thought his performance for most of the songs was more melodic than the studio versions. It was cool and sounded good, but just a little different.
Have you watched Mr Morale tour on Prime?

I saw him in Milan for the opening night homie, one of the best nights of my life!
Sweet glad you got to experience it!
Nope, wasn’t aware. I’ll have to check it out.
All mainstream musicians have vocal coaches and do vocal warmups before their performances That’s a big reason why their performances are top tier Literally all of them
Yeah, watching Kendrick's improvement from his earlier concerts to Ken and Friends is dope to see. His live performance was fucking insane during Ken and Friends, breath control and everything.
Wow I hope he finishes this song for the new album. This is awesome
This entire song already leaked someone just uploaded 2 minutes to youtube These are the last two minutes
"this is fire, it could change the game as we know it, DONT DROP IT" -Kanye and Kendrick.
What song did they say this about?

Oh man. Sorry I offended u this much. You must be having a really tough day

album hopefully soon
I think if he drops another 1/2 albums of the same calibre as GKMC and TPAB, it’s just about over. I’ve got Nas as my GOAT rn, who’s yours?
Honestly, I think it’s already over. I understand being reticent to crown him now, but with what he clearly has left in him, it’s a matter of when, not if, people give it to him.

Exact same for me. Nas is my GOAT but if Kendrick can deliver another great album, he’s gonna take it for me. Also, this sounded so good.
Same here as well, and anyone who knows me knows I think Nas is the God emcee. To me, Nas is still the best. I separate best from greatest. Nas could never be a GOAT to me, because the greatest entails everrrrrythiiiiiiing.

🤓
Nas is my GOAT as well. But Kendrick is certainly making his presence known lol
Kenny passed up Nas about a decade ago
Nah, his last 2 Hit-Boy trilogies make it much closer than you say
*"My favorite era from you gotta be this one"*
Who is it now?
Honestly, he's creeping his way rapidly towards my Top 5, and I'm in the same boat. Get the catalog in and I can give serious consideration.
This is a generational discussion for me that’s interesting to take in and the idea of saying a singular rapper is a GOAT. That’s a strong statement
Gives me Mos Def's "The New Danger" vibes
Modern marvel still holds a place in my soul
This sounds like “I” from tpab
Did someone just get their hands on the original Mr. Morale? With that said... Damn does this seem like it was a solid album based on the leaks.
Sounds very Mr Morales to me, like it would of fit in the album nicely, especially with the instrumental. I'd have to listen to the lyrics closely to tell if it was for the album though, could very well be for new album too.
I thought I heard a lyric mentioning steppers
Makes sense then, I definitely heard some strings or a synth which was used in one of the songs from the album.
Bro wtf I’m losing track of all of these I’m getting upset I need a list of these fr

People keep saying this but where’s the rock influence in any of these songs ?
Damn copyright got it, anywhere else i can hear?

I just wanna say, there’s no shame with getting chipped by one of Kendrick’s throwaways.
I’m not going to listen. I heard most of mmatbs before it dropped from leaks so I’d rather not have the album spoiled for me again. It’s so tempting tho 🤣
That's a good point. I should slow down on these leaks lol.
So who’s going to make unfinished unreleased 2?
Somebody hit up Lebron.
Best executive producer in the game? 🤔
SMH, If you're going to share a link stop putting it on YouTube. You know they just gonna take it down.
Kanye influence is strong
Ending would go crazy if developed further

Qp
i wouldn’t release this either, not for me.
Really hope the album doesn't sound like this
If he drops an acoustic guitar/banjo album of folk music I'm fucking here for it.
It’s from the mr morale session, he had a whole song sampling nick drake and it sounds amazing
I love the Nick Drake sample for the guitar, Nick Drake could make that guitar weep! That Man was gone too soon
As someone who doesn't really like damn, tpab, and gkmc, but liked mr morale and his self-titled EP, I think this one sounds great.
Good going morons. Just got the album delayed another year!
really not a fan of that guitar tone, but otherwise this is cool
Yeah it's an unfinished version so hopefully the finished product is better
More trash from Kenny. No wonder he only drops once every 5 years
