It’s always nice to see a bit of self reflection on a mixtape. In the first verse DK brings a us a little bit of his background, while rapping “Money don’t make me, you don’t wanna see a nigga pull out off safety.” He knows the money didn’t create him and that the life he lived is the one that shaped the rapper he is today. This is my favorite track on the mixtape, you don’t need to flex with a hard beat to show skills. Yes indeed this is “The thick girl anthem.” He delivers his lines with the sly attitude of someone who knows his status is the main reason for his success with women.
This is probably my second favorite song from the tape, mostly because we get a chance to see DK’s slick sense of humor.
In the end I think that I just find the track too repetitive for the amount of attention it received. In short his idea of a party includes your standard rapper’s list of tools of belligerence. It’s one of the more polished set of bars on the tape. It’s not bad, but I just feel that more could have been done with DJ Dahi’s beat. I don’t share the public’s opinion I don’t love the track. This is probably the most celebrated song off the mixtape as he dropped the music video about a month ago. Kendrick raps “ What happened yesterday baby girl fix your moodĬause I don’t like my head with some attitude.” Finding out who did the outro verse made me laugh out loud, but Rick Flair wrapped it up on a awesomely aggressive note. As always Kendrick’s verse was, as would be expected, more decorated. He covers the fairly simple beat with short bursts of non-descript yet powerfully delivered adjectives. Freddie and Bun B…Ok now you may proceed.ĭK opens up the track with a sputtering vers’ chronicling his crews swagger and his connections as he has made guest appearances with moguls such as Big Sean, J Cole, Juicy J, YG, Cassie Veggies and Currency. Oh, wait…if Freddie Gibbs didn’t ring a bell stop reading and go listen to “Mexicans with Guns” feat. So with all of that being said let’s check out the tape. Yellow Album showcases a good line up of guest appearances, including Ricky Rozay, Freddie Gibbs and Kendrick Lamar. If anything he’s closer to Ice Cube than anyone else coming out of L.A. This isn’t a knock on DK, it’s just his style. With that being said, he has the kind of flow that is not too concerned with intricate lyrics or crafty bars. He’s not Tyga, YG, Hopsin or Kendrick, though we do see an appearance from Kendrick on #3 We ball. The 27 year old Dom Kennedy’s 2nd major release comes in the form of Yellow Album, a mixtape that screams “I’m from L.A.”, but in a very different way than his current L.A.
