this is kendricks worst album in my opinion
album aint even been out for a day
This is him throwing that f***ing diamond crown of thorns from the cover off his head across 18 songs
Heart pt 5 is the entire album
That s*** was literally the preview/teaser but not in the way we expected
this album literally felt like we were listening to Kendrick's inner thoughts
I just donāt get why younger people have such a shallow understanding of art nowadays. I fully get why some people are triggered by some of the albumās content but thereās an ALARMING amount of people taking the lyrics as a full blown representation of his current worldviews as if thatās something heās ever done. What the f*** bruh
The execution of Auntie Diaries was just horrible tho
I think itās genius on an artistic level but I know thereās going to be far too many people who never make it to the final verse
Nigga literally has a song on the album telling yāall heās not your savior (and neither are these people you worship) but bums still gonna put him on a pedestal he aināt even asking for
So what's the consensus
I hope it's not a jazz album ffs
its very edgy
production is great, but idk what he's trying to get across other than turn heads
he's super vulnerable and channeling a lot of Kanye schizo-isms on here but with way more forethought and coherency
I'd say its very inconsistent, but the quality is there and its definitely worth a lot of listens
Auntie Diaries and We Cry Together are the most controversial songs on the album, and for good reason
both touchy subjects that people aren't sure if hes covering in the right way
Are you hyping me on rage beat Kendrick
and he literally uses carti flow for part of the song
Nigga literally has a song on the album telling yāall heās not your savior (and neither are these people you worship) but bums still gonna put him on a pedestal he aināt even asking for
he's also literally telling y'all god is speaking thru him on this album
Nigga literally has a song on the album telling yāall heās not your savior (and neither are these people you worship) but bums still gonna put him on a pedestal he aināt even asking for

finished my second listen and i still havent processed this fully
so fuxkin glad i got the airpod pros for this
Anyone saying this his worst album, youāre entitled to your opinion but just know youāre wrong.
