You could read unmastered as meaning the album has yet to be mastered - a term for the final touches put on a movie or piece of music in post-production - but you could also read unmastered as Lamar refering to himself being unmastered, a man set free from the long history of racism in our country. Plus, there’s that whole “unmastered” thing in the title, which is a totle double entendre, if you ask me. Kevork Djansezian/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images The lyrics are thickly layered with images straight from the bible as well: Lyrics like “Close my eyes pray to god that I live forever/ Dark skies, fire and brimstone some of us sent home,” suggest a very close relationship between some of today's biggest headlines and the end of the world. are chock-full of references to both the struggle facing African-Americans in this country, as well as the end of the world. But, considering this is Lamar we're talking about, I think these dates are worth reading into - because although the album is only eight tracks long, there is plenty in those eight tracks for fans to sink their teeth into.Īnd there are some pretty clear themes in the new album that might lead us to our answer. mean? With so little information surrounding the release of the album - Lamar has yet to speak about it since its release - it’s hard to tell just what these random dates mean, both to the artist and to the world. So, what do the dates in the song titles on untitled unmastered. Because though each song is titled "untitled" along with a number, next to each title there are also dates that have me asking all sorts of questions. There was no explanation for what the album was for, and the album title is extremely cryptic - just like the song titles are. Thursday was made a whole heck of a lot more glorious when Kendrick Lamar decided to drop a new album, untitled unmastered., into our laps.
