"Untitled"

"Untitled" is not only the name of this particular blog post, but it is also the title for upcoming sophomore album for the Compton, California native who happens to go by Kendrick Lamar. Within the past few months we have seen a number of successful projects by the new generation of hip-hop with the likes of "Forest Hills Drive" by J. Cole, "If Youre Reading This Its Too Late" by Drake, and most recently "Dark Sky Paradise" by Big Sean. Every single one of these albums hit number one on the Billboard charts and have received critical acclaim. While surprise release tactics as well as well planned out marketing schemes were utilized for all of the above mentioned projects, the industry has been looking for this project from K-Dot for a while. While his major label debut "Good Kid m.A.A.d. City" released in 2012 to great reviews and is viewed as a classic amongst most hip-hop aficionados, everyone has been waiting for what was next from the MC. Kendrick and his camp has been keeping things very quiet in regards to this project, but the wait is no longer here. While simply naming it "Untitled" and giving it a blank album cover as the album art the anticipation has grew even more. March 23, 2015 is the day that it will drop. There have only been two singles released in the waiting for this particular album; the Grammy winning "i" which isn't listed on the album tracklisting and "Blacker The Berry" which appears to be track 13 on the presale album on iTunes. Though a release date has been set, much is pretty much up in the air with no features or other track titles listed at all. This is definitely an interesting marketing strategy that resembles all of his counterparts in one. Will the album live up to the hype or will the sophomore slump hit Mr. Lamar? The world waits to see, until then all of our opinions simply are "untitled"...
