"untitled 02 | 06.23.2014." is a song by Kendrick Lamar, featured on his compilation album, untitled unmastered. The song was produced by Cardo and Yung Exclusive.
This track is about Kendrick’s confliction between his life at home in Compton and his life as a global superstar. In 2014, he was prophesying the success of To Pimp a Butterfly which scooped five Grammy awards in early 2016. Yet at the same time, he was troubled by the bloodshed and incarceration of his peers still trapped in the ghettos of Compton.
While he is separated and distracted by the fruits of his labour: the women, money, and fame, he realises the only way he can find a balance between the industry and the Compton homies he left behind is through TDE (Top Dawg Entertainment). His team has become his solace, and he’ll ride for them, the same as he would for those back home.
The production is supplied by former Taylor Gang staple Cardo (Wiz Khalifa, Meek Mill) and Yung Exclusive. MTV asked Cardo if the beat on the finished song sounded the same as when he sent it. He replied: "Terrace Martin ended up adding a saxophone and some spooky keys behind it. He's a bad mother-shut-your-mouth on the saxophone."
"As soon as you hear that sax, you know it's Terrace! Anything with Kendrick and you hear that saxophone - it's definitely Terrace Martin," Cardo added. "If you send a beat to Kendrick with a saxophone, you might want to take that out, 'cause Terrace Martin is probably gonna want to do it himself. (laughs) He blessed me even more with his addition to the beat." Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
