On the five year anniversary of good kid, m.a.a.d. city, everyone from fan's to those involved with it's creation reflect on Kendrick Lamar's historical album. This includes Punch, who initially wanted Andre 3000 to be on "Bitch Don't Kill My Vibe." That plan was cut short when JAY-Z shared a guest verse for the track. You can read Punch's reflections and watch Kendrick be surprised with JAY-Z's verse, as well as work with Dr. Dre and Andre 3000 below.
Yo, how is everyone? Let's talk about gkmc for a second. It dropped 5 years ago today. Y'all remember that album?

The goal was to make a album in the vein of a Tarantino movie. Where the scenes aren't in chronological order but it flows cohesively.

I remember trying to get 3 Stacks on "don't kill my vibe". He couldn't catch the vibe lol. He was shooting the Jimi Hendrix movie....
