Timelines Involved

This was released as a loosie and was available for digital download.
Kendrick Lamar and other Top Dawg members talk about Cartoon and Cereal on an article by complex. They explain that this song was supposed to be good kid m.A.A.d city but couldn't due to sampling issues. Kendrick also talks about getting Gunplay on the song,
"I just know his flow and his cadence is crazy and his consonants is crazy. [I knew] he’d do it justice and that he did. He’s definitely crazy man.”
Kendrick Lamar's track "Cartoons and Cereal" received significant acclaim despite not appearing on his debut album "good kid, m.A.A.d city." Critics highlighted Lamar's complex wordplay and imagery that built upon the experimental style he developed in "Section.80." Jack Law from Fact magazine noted the unexpected yet innovative collaboration between Lamar and Gunplay, characterizing it as a unique pairing of an avant-garde artist with a "street" rapper. Jordan Sargent of Pitchfork identified an "anti-social streak" running through both artists' contributions, while Complex ranked it as 2012's second-best song, emphasizing its quality despite its absence from Lamar's album. Music critic Niyah Nel observed that the track's "inner voice" approach effectively generated anticipation for Lamar's upcoming debut album while cementing his reputation as an "unmatched lyricist" in the industry.
A fan made an unofficial music video for this song after it was leaked and amassed 39 million views, due to the high quality nature of the video and it being the most popular Youtube video for the song (since the song was never officially released) many people mistook it for being an official music video.[1]
