The album is about Kendrick feeling conflicted about his relationship with God
He questioning his beliefs he’s always had and exploring new beliefs and expressing anger caused by the confusion
Also when he dies at the beginning I always looked at that like a life flashing before your eyes moment and him a***yzing how he did in several areas of his life like was he too prideful, did he feed into his lust too much etc
There’s a lot more to it but its basically an album about religion and self criticism
That makes sense
I don't like that album but that's interesting
I like the song with Rihanna

I like that song too
2016 had blonde, TLOP, Malibu, Atrocity Exhibition, Pain Passion, Still Brazy, birds, UU, Blank Face, Cozy Tapes, Jeffery, We Got It From Here, the Suns Tirade, 3001, LUV vs the World, Yes Lawd!, Gucci Mane Comeback, Prima Donna, Slime Season 3, Savage Mode, Bucket List Project, Coloring Book
Maybe it isn’t 2015 level but calling it s*** is ridiculous
Maybe an unpopular opinion but I did not care for
Birds
Pain Passion & Demon Slaying
Coloring Book
Gucci Mane comeback was cool
I have not thought about either Young Thug project that dropped that year since they came out lowkey lol
I liked TLOP by Kanye but it was objectively the beginning of the end and the first of his many chaotic rollouts and projects without clear direction
Untitled Unmastered is of course a great project but still the Kendrick album the year before was monumental.
Blank Face, Yes Lawd, Malibu, Atrocity Exhibitionl, Suns Tirade was all fire of course
A good chunk of projects you named here are fire and well loved in retrospect but I remember what the vibe of 2016 was like and most of the year was people eating up the gluten free reggae Toronto niggas was making. That and a lot of r&b
I'm not even talkin bout just Drake, Tory Lanez remade "Everyone Falls In Love" for his bum ass I Told You So album
A lot of folks slept on the good albums you named lowkey
GKMC is the greatest rap album of the 2010s-now and it’s not even close
MBDTF out now
I like that song too
Rihanna is really cool
Have you realized how many like genuine classic singles she has dropped
It's wild
Ottawa is a cool city
I said Rap album homie
Kanye don’t write his own raps
Yeezus is a great album of course

Niggas need to put some respek on 2016 and stop being revisionist lmao
2016 was also just depressing in general. The deaths of a lot of musical and film legends + the rise of MAGA and s***.
Never understood the nostalgia for that year when at the time everybody that lived through it was saying how depressing it was lol

Surprising people say that given how many folks act like society peaked in the summer of 2016
Another funny aspect of this beef is Akademiks. People will say he’s a meatrider for drake, and yes that is his role he’s willing to play, but ironically he’s the best example of using drake as a stimulus package for himself. If you look at it closely, everything he has put forth is at the expense of Drake. Every time Drake took an L, there’s the Ak reaction that everyone is tuning into to visualize the L in real time. He’s a wrestling heel manager. He’s done lots of damage to drake during this beef.
He’s essentially Drakes Paul Heyman

Bro I actively remember everybody saying that 2016 was the worst year ever. Then all of a sudden everybody had nostalgia for summer 2016
