Out of curiousity, anyone here buy it?I haven't. I still haven't even listened to the album at all.

Got both my Krendrick & my Xzibit cd's the very same day. That's the only way to support the artists you say you like. Buy the albums & go to the concerts.
The logical choice is "Poetic Justice" just off that sample alone, not to mention the Drake feature. Once this single gets major burn then he will have the visibility to follow up with another single
It's currently the 28th best selling album release of 2012 in the US. It's still going strong so it could end up in the top 20 with a little luck.The only hip-hop albums from 2012 to sell better are:Nicki Minaj @ 725kRick Ross @ 470kKendrick will definitely surpass Rick Ross.Best selling 2012 release overall in the US is Taylor Swift at 2080k. Best selling album overall in 2012, is the 2011 release "21" by Adele which has done over 4 million this year and just topped 10 million (diamond) overall. Worldwide it is closing in on 25 million. Crazy numbers.

Once this single gets major burn then he will have the visibility to follow up with another singleThe sample is about a Year or Two too early, 1997 was just yesterday. Classic song definitely, but not vintage like the James Brown songs they used to sample in the late 80's-early 90's (even tho a few of them were too early themselves).And believe me, i get WHY they wanna use that song but I personally don't think it's the right single for NOW. I think everybody who's familiar with Kendrick Lamar know of "Poetic Justice" with Drake. I think personally it's more of a backfire right now than a good move.
