Bro I lowkey wanna play this album out then come back to it in a couple weeks cuz I know this discourse gonna be tiring man
Ima run it back later when I really get some free time but that first listen stuck with me,thatās a good sign. Idk if reviewers thatās doing scores today already had the album or just listened to it last night,but giving an album like this perfect scores across the board on its release day,doesnāt help it in this day and age.
Let actual people discuss how they feel about this piece of work,I think reviewers should actually join the discussion tbh,and then score it
this is better than Vince Staples album
Yeah probably
I has Vince for aoty until this
Wonder how all the white kids and their dads who react on YouTube are gonna react to worldwide steppers
Know exactly who you talking bout lol
his feature was shocking when i heard him.
it was a breath of fresh air
The way yall feel about this song is how I feel about U. That screaming at the start, "Loving you is CoMpLICateD!" and the drunk rapping towards the end are not enjoyable to listen to
I feel that yeah. Clearly āalbum pieceā songs
theres less hits, its more meditative and artsy
I hear you. I canāt say iām disappointed either though. Itās a great body of work.
I always thought Damn his weakest (still great tho)
I rank DAMN as his #3 ngl (still with a huge gap between GKMC & that tho)
Iāve listened to this twice fully for today & Iām not that impressed overall yet.
Maybe itās a grower, but idk
Damn this album really subverted my expectations. I had no idea what to expect - this is easily gonna be his most divisive album. I mess with it overall but it will take a while for me to know where it sits in his discog for me. I'm happy he took a left turn though and didn't just do a part 2 of one of his albums.
this how i feel. Imma need a minute to see how this is to me
you playing this in the barbershop?
Not every song but a few of them you can!
Kendrick:My auntie is a man now
Pitchfork:10/10 lyrical mastermind give him the literature nobel prize
I hear you. I canāt say iām disappointed either though. Itās a great body of work.
oh absolutely its beautiful & super vulnerable
dont know how much of it i'd listen to casually though
It can definitely come off hypocritical because using a slur while saying it was wrong to use it in the first place is just stupid.
Especially when Kendrick is straight, do you not understand how simple it is for it to come across a different way? Lol.
Yeah but itās in different contexts.
One context is around a relative whose feelings he hurt.
The other context is recounting the story of a relative whose feelings he hurt in a piece of art.
He ends the verse wrestling with the idea that itās wrong to say no matter the context. His white girl n-word story implies that he learns itās wrong to say regardless of intention, but his use of the word suggests otherwise. So itās frankly very confusing. And maybe intentionally so.
The way yall feel about this song is how I feel about U. That screaming at the start, "Loving you is CoMpLICateD!" and the drunk rapping towards the end are not enjoyable to listen to
that s*** hits when u feeling the way he does
