Kendrick Lamar dropped released his first new music since 2012 this morning. "i," the much-anticipated new single off his upcoming new album (which doesn't have a release date), is uncharacteristically positive and upbeat, sampling The Isley Brothers' "Who's That Lady" and featuring the refrain "I love myself." Twitter is not having much of it, some naysayers calling this the "Andre 3000" phase of his career, others pointing out that "Who's That Lady" was once the Salon Selectives jingle. Those snarks aside, we're into this poppy and uplifting side of Lamar. Give it a listen above.
