The interludes were both unnecessary

Great album though

I don’t think anyone is gonna have a stronger song than Mirror for a while. This is going down in Kendrick’s top 10 for me personally. That bridge fam

Celebrity do not mean integrity you fool

Mine are:

Mirror
Savior
N95
Worldwide Steppers
Mother I Sober

HM: Mr Morale, Auntie Diaries, and Savior Interlude and Silent Hill

God, please blow the whistle, we need an intermission

i'm so happy we got a GFK feature on this

need to know how that happened

• United in Grief
• Father Time
• Savior
• Auntie Diaries
• Mother I Sober

So many damn earworms even in individual songs

any word on a vinyl?

It's the first song on the album

Highest sales first week for a rap album this year don’t sound like a flop to me

He did well but it’s kind of a shame that a Kendrick Ghostface collab ended up a breezy radio joint and not some hard storytelling s***. Should’ve said f*** the fighting and just went back and forth with GFK on We Cry Together instead

True it’s all relative, flop is an exaggeration but I wish he could’ve pushed a little more to keep the competition alive

blew my mind just now realizing United in Grief was bout whitney too

In hindsight, he definitely would’ve sold around 300-320K if he has released N95 before the album but I 100% understand why he chose to release the album as one piece instead of doing singles beforehand. Because it’s very much an ALBUM. Now you could say that about all of his previous albums too, but this one especially sounds like one body of work.

I dont think he would of reached those numbers with n95 prior

Heart pt 5 was definitely the better choice to promote the album

I wish he released Count Me Out with video as his comeback track, and then Silent Hill video on release day

That would’ve been a cool choice for sure.

Count Me Out as a lead single would've been fire

So you wouldn’t have released anything beforehand aside from Part V?

Right? I swear that song would’ve brought every generation of Kendrick fans together, it truly captures every era in one piece. Amazing track I even get a bit of S80 nostalgia somehow

Which part?

Something about the chorus when it first comes in just takes me back to younger Kendrick, it’s hard to really explain. Such a great mix of his sounds though as far as his mainstream side and “conscious” side
