    Mods are a laughing stock

    How long would a drake one take to get deleted off the whole site, despite his decline being much more noticeable?

    someone should try

    What exactly is it about the sound that you do not like? Let’s talk about it

    Do i have to break it down to you to a scientific level? I can't really talk in music terms and especially not in a language that isn't my mother tongue. I just don't like the production on a lot of the cuts. Like i said i feel like most of em lack something. Whether that be polish, character etc (and don't come at me with counters of certain tracks, because there's certainly gems on here that do satisfy my needs production wise)

    I feel like Baby Keems influence is all over this album, he brings out a certain goofiness in Kendrick that i personally can't really appreciate all that much and the same goes for the way he flows on a lot of the cuts.

    Then you have the facts that some joints on here are just subpar (imo) compared to his other work. We Cry Together is corny, his vocals on Crown don't work like they did on a cut like YAH. from DAMN. which i absolutely love. Some unnecessary features. I know everybody likes Kodak on here but i couldn't enjoy it personally.

    Never called this album bad so i don't know why you feel so pressed about me not ENJOYING something. Live and let live brother

    I mean bro it’s a music forum and i’m just tired of blanket statements and calling s*** “mid” without explanation. I’m glad you explained in depth what you didn’t like cause it’s a music forum and we need to have more discussions like these. I appreciate you for sharing your opinion bro

    All good my bad if i came off a lil hostile but the same way you done with not having actual discussions (i feel you on that hard, i be typing big ass paragraphs on here a lot just for some people to reply with a meme lol), same way i'm kind of done with people thinking i'm not being truthful or fair when i keep it short and brief

    Again, def some songs on here i do love. But that's expected because Kendrick is one of the greatest artist in hiphop of this generation. I guess i just expected more. It didn't HAVE to be full out jazz/funk-rap like TPAB. It didn't even have to be conceptual like that album or GKMC. DAMN. was pretty accessible and i enjoyed that album a lot

    This album just isn't for me sadly. It's still ''good'' compared to most recent hiphop albums i guess but in terms of his discog this is by far the project of Dot that i'll be replaying the least

    Always wondered how music in a different language would affect how ppl enjoyed music. I listen to quite a few albums in different languages but I mostly enjoy the vibe and Melodies.

    Same for me, i can understand most of English perfectly what i meant with that post directed to bro was that i'm not familiar with musical terms. And especially not the English ones. So when somebody asks me to elaborate on why i feel a certain way about a piece of music, it sometimes gets hard to explain because i can't resort to things as specific as i'd like to.

    When i didn't have a full grasp on English yet (when i was a kid), i'd mishear lyrics all the time and that resulted in me feeling an emotional connection to certain lines only for me to find out years later it said something totally different

    That’s fair bro, I respect your opinion 100%! To me, it’s his most relatable piece of work and I absolutely love the production choice, songwriting, flow and themes so much. I do think that the baby keem influence can be noted as Kendrick’s influence since he kind of gave him the sauce on DAMN.

    well when the pinnacle of the critiques on this album are “he says he’s not your savior but he’s wearing a crown on the cover/live performances”

    or “this album is boring, and i can’t play it at a party” then idk, maybe someone isn’t getting it

    It's perfectly fine to think an album is boring. Everyone doesn't listen to music for the same reasons lol

    He just didn't have a hit single. I think he is pretty much cemented in hip hop now.

    I'm glad you enjoy it. I don't mind it that much that i can't. That comes with the territory since Kendrick is a true artist that always tries to cover new ground which i def can respect

    Maybe his next one will be an album we'll both be able to enjoy

    You conveniently missed all the post that are making it seem like everything that like it are pretending though lol

    But you have a problem with the other way around?

    Shut up boy you ain’t slick.

    Who in this thread is saying people are pretending to like it?
