It sold 17 units a week a month after it was out. People didn't like it.

Worst fallout from the beef is the revisionism with this album

its really the weakest kenny project if you think about it

N95 is kendricks most embarrassing song. Extremely blatant and desperate hit attempt. He wanted to force another humble

The examples in op are just from npcs that don't know how to articulate themselves like a critic does. But no unfortunately they're not far off. It really is a weak album made worse by the long hiatus building up a highly anticipated comeback album. N95 while it's an ok song really doesn't fit, same goes for the Kodak songs. We needed more Father Time songs and less of the other stuff

another rap account that isn’t ran by a nigga @SegaDreamFlash

Ironically they expect something generational and classic but usually generational classics are not what people were expecting lol

It’s an oxymoron that plagues a lot of artists especially the ones with the most hype behind them.

who thought drake could lose so badly that mr morale could be considered classic

I actually think Die Hard for example is massively better than LOVE or LOYALTY. Both good songs but Die Hard just feels and sounds like a massive upgrade to me personally. I feel like the melodies on DAMN were dwarfed by the sounds on morale

Beef thread v80

You are starting to sound like the fanbase you claim to hate. The album just was not good.

Die Hard is smooth as s*** for whatever it’s worth and is probably one of the stronger mainstream cuts, i just definitely wouldn’t say it’s better than the pop accessibility of DAMN in terms of direction, performance, or sound (besides maybe LOYALTY? idk) i’m a huge fan of LOVE though lol

This where I'm at with it pretty much

Sometimes you gotta pop out and grieve different

mother i sober is an s-tier Kendrick song but it doesn't make up for how weak like 65% of the album is

Eh...not really.

The album was polarizing from the get go due to differing from The Heart Pt. 5 and Family Ties which is what many rap fans thought was the direction Kendrick would go in.

MMTBS is unique in that it's neither a commercially friendly or rappity rap type of album. It's, instead, a super personal album that's very vulnerable and deep much like 4:44.

So, MMTBS wounded up not appealing to many of the younger DAMN era Kendrick fans who were expecting bangers/hits or many of the older GKMC era fans who were expecting an album to showcase Kendrick's greatest display of rapping and storytelling.

To be sure, Kendrick raps well on MMTBS but the rapping isn't as much of a focus as the content.

Also, Kendrick ticked off certain fanbases when he claimed he was "smoking on your top 5 tonight" on Family Ties and that, on top of the hiatus, made people have a very high set of expectations for him.

Overall, there might have been some bots but it really was and still is Kendrick's most polarizing album.

I'm there was at least one Damn-sounding song on that album

The hate this album gets is crazy man

Or maybe people just didn’t like it

Ongod outta nowhere suburban dorks started pretending they listen to Auntie Diaries everyday

im pretty sure every big album or piece of media are a victim of bots but it did kind of deserve the hate imo it was a good album but it also was the worst album kendrick put out and it came after a five year wait so reactions would be extreme on either end whether it was love or hate
