an honest, unironic unbiased rating of the album:
track 1: will never hate a spittin intro but ambiguous censor bars will never not be corny, kendrick flow is alright but pretty standard, the bars are subliminal which is what he hated about drake XXXDDD? but whatever
squabble up: has the ZEZE effect, does not live up to the snippet, the sample DOES NOT fit at all and kendrick's hook is like... ???? is bro trying?
luther: this is kendrick's best vocal performance on the album, the jack strings thru guitar and harpsichord create an ethereal and biblical foundation for sza's gorgeous vocals to be set in
man at the garden: equipped with stock rain effects and base drumkits, kendrick spits about "deserving it all" without providing any blueprint or proof to his claim. this is truly the track where his holier than thou ego sets in, he believes that he deserves the crown because... what?
hey now: this is where the jack antonoff production peaks, the reverberating chant makes a hypnotizing effect that compliments kendrick's (lets be real) lackluster flow. the production on this track is stellar but I can't listen to kendrick's repeated "hey now say now" repeated line without thinking that this beat was wasted.
reincarnated: this is kendrick's best soul track. he picked the beat and rhythm to just spit raw what was on his mind. this is what I hoped he could articulate in more tracks.
TV OFF: This is the best beat DJ Mustard's ghost producers ever came up with. Kendrick tries too hard to make a catchy hook on the front end of this track, all the heat comes after the beat switch when he scream MUSTARRRRRRRRRRRRD. Even a Uzi stan like myself can appreciate how culturally hype that shout was.
dodger blue: this could be the best beat on the album, but certainly kendrick's second best vocal performance thus far. this is the first time on his album where he's showcasing true Los Angeles talent (Siete7x and Wallie the Sensie), not that they're the only up and comers from LA on the album but this feels like the first time that they've been put front and centre,
peekaboo: this is the first time i arrived to a song that truly felt like it was rushed to be on the album. the beat, the flow, it feels like it could've been left off. It features vocals from AzChike, but will anyone really remember that verse?
HEART PART 6: This the track Kenny locked in lyricism wise and we all know why, and while I'm sure his diehards will appreciate the deepcut namedrops I don't think anyone will agree it substantiates the hostile takeover of The Heart series that Drake put on.
GNX: this is far and away the worst track on the album. This is what tells us that Kendrick was tryna rush the album out and it's a weird fumble from someone who is otherwise quite reserved on releases.
gloria: this is the emotion i was hoping from kendrick the entire time, he speaks from the soul but tragically it is over the worst beat and it doesn't leave sza much to work with,
It’s 7 am im not reading all this

lol

Post some femboys while they least expect it
I don't really like Die Hard
Outside of that piano outro, it just sounds like a cookie cutter two-step joint
the “bangers” of that album don’t do much for me either tbh like Silent Hill/N95
they aren’t bad, just kinda eh, all the conceptual and darker tracks were the songs i enjoyed the most off of that album

Don’t wake the demon up
Really puts that ig vid into perspective snoop did when Taylor made drop.
Nigga really just threw on a death row jacket and impishly smirked
Maybe he not pandering to the west and tired of trying to appeal to the rest
maybe the other music is the pandering
hell nah s.80 to morale all had some west coast influence, it's to be expected. but it was much more graceful and tasteful. he wasn't a "west coast rapper" cus he was way more special and couldn't be boxed in
this his first full album heavily leaning into the west front to back and it's comes at an opportune time so it feels like pandering
edit: hopefully just a phase tho and he's back on his s*** next project

Yeah the darker songs were something else. It was a case of "I can live with these poppy attempts on the album cus Worldwide Steppers
"
TV OFF: This is the best beat DJ Mustard's ghost producers ever came up with.
What a f***ing loser
