Itās been 5 years, people have dropped multiple albums better than this in that time frame before and currently. If Kendrick is this untouchable god figure with all 10/10 albums like people claim he is, something after 5 years should be better than this
Disagree with this whole take, but it's alright. I love this
Eagerly waiting for Fantanoās review
Hard for me to enjoy albums until I know he gives them at least a 6/10, donāt know why
He will give it a 9 or 10
He's being defensive on this record which makes the corniness lame to me instead of the usual flavor of some of his songs. There's definitely spite too, but I wonder why. Feels like a fake shield to avoid dealing with the world and people.
Mental gymnastics
Run away from the Culture and follow my heart
I choose me Iām sorry
Is Kendrick done
This feels like a goodbye for sure
replay value is not a thing to me lol how often are yall playing the same songs
i replay songs plenty of times
i draw a lot so sometimes if i really like a song it helps me concentrate
this while also being more a playlist person than an album person
and i never trust my first listen on something. i was completely confused by wlr first listen, the immediate second listen cleared up any confusion and now it's one of my favorite projects
This is definitely Kendrick's most introspective and raw album, and I'm sure many people were expecting a super revolutionary and pretentious album, others just wanted a bit more bangers or a return to TPAB production.
But to me it just sounds like he's ranting about a lot of issues that have affected him over the years, it's a personal catharsis, the man literally made a record to heal himself and let those feelings out, it's just kendrick being human and going through his s***. Even the whole rollout felt that way, no commercial gimmicks or big promotions, all very lowkey.
I think it has some of the most raw Kendrick tracks, but I wouldn't call it the most raw album with all the silky smooth pop tracks that were added for no reason whatsoever IMO
I cant listen to we cry together in public tbh
even with earbuds lmao
Song is executed masterfully but Iām struggling trying to find a scenario where Iāll just be freely listening to this lmaoo
done discussing the album with u insecure virgins only fun part of this thread was zack and we got love posts, rest of yall insufferable and in dire need of a blunt hit or sumn cause I PROMISE you nobody cares how u look bumping a argument song in ur raggedy 2004 camry š
He is not our savior
But he also had commentary within it by saying no celebrity or music artist should be your savior. Not himself, Cole, Future, Lebron etc.
Basically denouncing stan culture.

He canāt please everybody bro
Speakers alone in the room
Speakers alone in the whip
Those vibes with this album to me.
Off a blunt too
Kodak is fine, heās running around Florida enjoying his money and the people. Man just became an ambassador for the Florida Panthers and was with congressmen last month. Heās not strung out and near death, he looks healthy since the haircut lmfaoo
Idk, I don't think Kodak is the type to make up the s*** he says in his songs. The kind of d**** he's on will turn you into a husk real quick
Disagree with this whole take, but it's alright. I love this
Funny cause this is the same thing kdot is being spiteful about, heās not some messiah in music. Album is good, not 10/10 despite what Anthony fantano says
