    He worked on those tracks with lots of producers and other artists so obviously it's reasonable when they (not only Kendrick) demand money.

    Him putting the songs on streaming services is a win-win situation tho.

    A win for him since he earns more money compared to a free project.
    A win for me since I can listen to it without dealing with illegal downloads.

    I also see this being sold out. And it wouldn't make sense for him to finishthem... people love them like this. A lot of old head who are loving this are saying it gives the track that "vintage" vibe

    yes he should.. a lot of artists are complaining about how free music is killing the market...

    And scholboy q has already said tde will never drop free music, otherwise fans are gonna take everything for granted and ask for even more music.

    Artists have been doing it for a while.
    Although I think it's kinda pointless to be selling tracks that aren't finished, no one's forcing you to buy them.

    Even though they are unmastered it's just the same as artists who release B-Sides.

    If he knows there are fans that would buy a physical (especially collectors) then yeah, go for it. Would of been better had he released them finished as a bonus track with TPAB but that's the music industry for you.
