Damn was absolutely bigger and better rated during the time of its release.. Huge Pop Record, but Smile, 4:44, Marcy Me and Legacy is better than anything on DAMN except Duckworth
🤷🏾‍♂️

Bold but true

HOV the greatest

massive agree, especially the bonus tracks

not listened to either of em in a hot minute

agree tho

The Story of O.J. and 4:44 the only songs that come close to the best songs on Damn.

yes! I'm a big Kendrick fan but 4:44 was just more special to me

Jay Z’s third verse on Smile

liked damn slightly more, it aint a weird opinion to think 444 is better tho

thats a normal opinion to have

444 is one of jays best. no id really delivered with the beats

Yeah, but Kendrick won a Putlizer and the Grammy for best rap album.. it also has a higher MC score and is generally better received.. I was expecting mfs to flame me for going against the grain!

Honestly 4:44 is WAY better than DAMN

Hov's thirteenth studio album vs. K Dot's fourth.. Says a lot about the two of them but people don't like to criticize K Dot so it's cool

both overrated

kendrick's worst album is better than like 7 hov albums

would’ve agreed with this in 2017 but damn aging pretty well

I love both albums. Ranked 4:44 a tad higher at the time but DAMN got crazy replay value.

is this that unpopular? pretty reasonable to me

@Bmezy Absolutely agree, krit also had a better album than Kendrick that year and I’d also rather HNDRXX personally DAMN. Not even top 3 hiphop albums 2017. And if we also include “underground” artists, Rosebudd’s revenge was better, so was Rome by Armand hammer, so it’s not even top 5 for me personally

grammys and pultizer is all political lol

frickin cardi b has a grammy for best rap album - think of all the god tier rappers and classic albums that didnt win a grammy or got snubbed. kendrick himself and GKMC lost to macklemore in 2012. its a joke at this point

kendrick is the bandwagon right now, jay-z dont really have a bandwagon, hes 50 years old and just makes grown up music

and where the f*** is my avatar

Agree 100%, Kendrick could’ve released an hour of fart sounds instead of DAMN and it would’ve got damn near the same acclaim
