Kendrick Lamar's 'King Kunta' and the Seinfeld theme go together brilliantly. Don't believe us? Listen below.
The To Pimp A Butterfly highlight is a complex track that samples James Browns' “The Payback” and Ahmad’s “We Want the Funk”. It's a statement of intent with regard to the rap game, juxtaposed by the limitations placed upon his success because of his race.
Throw the track over the Seinfeld theme however and all that commentary disintegrates. However the two songs do fit together so well it's absurd.
Listen to 'To Pimp A Seinfeld' below
Much like the Thomas The Tank Engine theme, the Seinfeld opening has recieved various mash-ups over the past few months. The most ill advised being a Limp Bizkit version that unlike 'To Pimp A Seinfeld', doesn't gel whatsoever. Put it this way: it's comparable to Michael Richards career post-Kramer.
