F*** pitchfork lol

After a few days with it, I'd give it the same or maybe a 7. His weakest IMO.
The beef affected his mindset so much that he gets annoying after half the album.
I don't need 8 tracks about how you strangled a GOAT and you are the best ever, give me more of Luther or The Heart pt 6 or Gloria.
Same thing that happened with Views after the Meek beef.
People gonna eat it up tho.

Pitchfuck

shaboing boing boing

even worse

Facts lol

Stop playing with them Riley 💅

I am from norcal.

Oakland - with family all over from Vallejo to sac including LA.

You are wrong lol.

Most of the album is literally going back n forth literally between bayarea slang, sounds and lingo and LA sound, style and lingo.

To the references he's also doing that is so west coast.

Him talkin that talk that most wont get outside of CA.

Him having features that mostly only those in CA would know.

The GNX being on the cover which is a very sought after car in the west sideshow and car show scenes especially in the 2000s when kendrick was a teen.

You are literally wrong lol and this isnt even going into his own "lore" of himself.

TDE explanation and reconcile.

Him putting a bow on the beef and getting it over with in the first track of the project out the way

Him ACTUALLY FOLLOWING THRU WITH HIS NLU POP OUT PROMISES THAT MOST THOT WERENT GONNA BE FULFILLED.

Him going to his roots and proving he is about his home which most dissed him for all year LOL from media to the beef.

Him championing his culture after it got s***ted on by the biggest Rapper of all time & the entire internet.

Oh the beats too clean?? wtf tdoes that mean my nigga, he's still an A Class artist. but you know who made those "too clean" beats? all California my nigga.

What? You need a corny ass snoop dogg and dre feat so the radio mom to "get it", nah FOH.

Yall would have been happy with the pop out being a show n pny game instead of following through and continuing the message> you would prefer he doesnt prove the message he been saying in the whole beef about your culture love and experience?

This s*** one of the most "west coast" albums in the last 15 years and its his own most west coast album period.

Narrative heavy handed? a narrative about his people and state showing out and celebrating their piece in hiphop LMAO - unless you one of the dumbasses thT think every other song is another diss for the deaded beef like this idiot with Reincarnated (which he's done multiple Pac and West renditions since literally S80 with Traffic Jam LOL but niw he cant do it???).

Clownery. Straight buffonery. Luckily this dumbass thought is the minority and the state is celebrating as it should.

Dont have to like it but dont have too make up excuses that straight up lie.

Shame on both of yall.

f***ing pathetic b

straight disrespect with no reason

go tell new york that illmatic aint ny and go tell the south ds2 aint them just because you aint "feelin it"

only in the west you cant celebrate your own

the bay n la been at odds since the 2000s and this is the only nigga that is doin something bout it - even more than our so called "legends"

but the beats too clean

only nigga puttin up "no names" that people not from the town wouldnt know

but the beats too clean

only nigga that could have 7 different hoods up on a single stage from two opposite end of the state with no violence and carry that energy to his project

but the beat too clean

nah im heated LMAO

Mf will still win a Grammy lmao

upset over digits

What they talking about?

Right.. who gives a f*** about pitchfork in 2024? They’re not out of business yet??

I told you Kbots it was his weakest album. You didn’t listen.

Was wondering what was taking so long. Well. Will read tomorrow.

S***ty pitchfork review gonna be the outlier

Oh well

Don’t take the bait, 6.6 is a fine score, p4k reviews have such little rhyme or reason it doesn’t matter. Only insight it brings is they not giving him darling treatment rn. Whatever is going on in hipster intelligentsia?

@alphonse

lmao now pitchfork supports drake meanwhile his scores on pitchfork are always in the 6's

the spiraling

Sad

Again want to reiterate I never once said this project isn’t west coast and explicitly said I got no problems with that aspect of the project lol
I’m glad the project resonated with you but music isn’t objective, I couldn’t care about two mega rich rappers make up s*** and pretend to want each other dead and listen to him rap about it on here, it just doesn’t interest me. You raise some good points that make me appreciate this project for what it is but I’ll still probably just listen to hey now at the gym and throw on his other albums generally but that’s just me
