LA-based beat producer Flying Lotus had some awesome insight to shed on Kendrick Lamar's new album To Pimp A Butterfly. This follows the album's leak late last night.
Now that the word's out. I produced @kendricklamar "Wesley's Theme" ft. @Thundercat and @george_clinton #topimpabutterfly album is a classic

Wesley's Theory

@flyinglotus #ToPimpAButterfly sounds like a continuation of #YoureDead! production-wise

I produced a version of "for sale" that will probably never come out.

“@benw36: @flyinglotus maybe you convince kendrick to let that premiere on the bbc1 radio.” I don't even have it.

Was helping out with @kendricklamar live visual show when he did the yeezus tour...
— FLYLO (@flyinglotus) March 16, 2015
I was really surprised how he gave zero fucks about the media circus surrounding the tour. Was real low key trying to create, the whole time

I played him a folder of beats that I was keeping close for my next @xCaptainMurphyx project. Gave him all the beats like fuxk it.
— FLYLO (@flyinglotus) March 16, 2015
Later that night he told me he had the concept for the album.
— FLYLO (@flyinglotus) March 16, 2015
He gets no credit for being a producer but he had a vision for this album. Dude gets involved w the whole process.
— FLYLO (@flyinglotus) March 16, 2015
Sad thing about that folder of music is I heard he recorded to every one of those songs. Probably never gon hear those. Ooof
— FLYLO (@flyinglotus) March 16, 2015
When I played him that beat he asked me who I imagined on it. I laughed and said @george_clinton . I never thought it would actually happen
— FLYLO (@flyinglotus) March 16, 2015
That's already a dream come true
— FLYLO (@flyinglotus) March 16, 2015
I'll probably use those beats for something else but damn. It could have been.
