That my friend is utter delusion. It would be called unfocused and called out for the commercial reaches “hello fellow kids” vibe if Cole did it. People gave DAMN the benefit of the doubt for being messy because it was coming off of two of the most cohesive concept albums ever

GOD is one huge musical flaw

it's perfect though, musically...you may not like it, but you can't criticize it...

Lmfao what the f*** are you talknig about.

I swear some people here are lost and don't know s*** about music. "unfocused" ? really? wtf...

Yes I can, Kendrick’s voice doesn’t work for that track and it comes off derivative of Drake’s “Fake Love” but just not executed as well

It’s lyrically focused but deliberately not focused musically

DAMN is oozing with BLACK musical excellence.

I mean, it might've been a dope album if it was straight Hip-Hop but once Kendrick and his team dipped into the ideas black rock (LA soul) musicians have helped to pioneer over the past 100 years....shit was over at that point

damn. really is a masterpiece

It absolutely is...unless you don't know what black rock is (black rock isn't rock, it's the typical 70s soul from LA)

The album mostly jumps between 2 sounds, the sound you’re talking about and basic modern trap

it does work LOL...it features the best triadic (3-note) chords we've ever heard on a rap song. The rhythmic transictions respect the 5 criteria that make a transition flawless, and the 175hz frequencies used by Kendrick is on point.

Again, pass me some of that green you're smoking

GKMC

Nope his vocal performance is strained and the use of pitch correction lacks subtlety

you gotta love random clowns giving their opinion despite lacking musical knowledge.

Once again, not all opinions hold the same weight...we appreciate you talking about stuff you're personally and subejctively enjoying, but thats not the point.... we're talking straight quality here.

Drake never made an album that is even half as good as DAMN. that's not even an opinion...that's a fact. Nobody cares about the stuff you "personally" enjoy the most.

absolutely not lol...

What

I'm done with this guy

I mean the simple fact that he even tried to compare a drake album to DAMN was enough to consider him as a random...probably a 14 yo fan

Kdot weakest project is probably gkmc and it s***s on drake's discography. I'm a drake fan btw.

This is gonna be a terrible album

gkmc: 91/100
damn: 95/100
tpab: 96/100

I would be very surprised if kendrick's next album isn't at least 94 on mc...I mean he showed us he knows how to make objectively great music, critic proof music, and he got 5 years to craft this 5th classic (like most rappers would say, he gave us 4 in a row)

drake fans gonna feel insecure again lol, because they can claim whathever you want, great music is always universally acclaimed, and bad msuic never gets acclaimed. It is what it is.

Yo if future's hitting 200k? without even a single out I think there's no way Kenny doing less than 500k lol

Easier to get to 200k or 300k from than it is to get from that number to 400 or 500k

This is true and I'm a drake fan. Imo gkmc is kendrick weakest album and indeed its far better than anything his peers have ever released.

You may be onto something with the color palette. That graphic was originally posted by Punch, iirc. It was definitely shared on TDE’s side.

The cynic in me says they created this graphic so that they weren’t sharing the Oklama announcement which had pgLang insignia all over it.
