There’s no way y’all actually believe this
Damn still holds up and most of the people I know who are big Kendrick fans are listening to Damn before any of his other projects
Case in point ^
They can never just disagree. They gotta assume you have a mental illness or lying if you dont slurp his albums
I’m worried Kendrick’s general absence these past few years is going to make this new album sound a bit dated on release.
the “post-Relapse Eminem” effect, you could call it.
His cousin and close collaborator is one of the biggest young rappers in the world right now.
This album is gonna sound anything but dated

Saying Damn is your least fav Kendrick album and saying Damn isn’t aging great are two different statements.
I can understand and respect the first statement, but the second is just so blatantly untrue because the sound of rap as a whole hasn’t changed that much since 2017
I think he tries so hard to make his lyrics seem so important and like a riddle that it makes them really hard for me to connect to and disconnects me as a listener.
Verse on holy key for example
GKMC his best work.

i do wonder how old some of the songs will be yeah
Keep it real. I don’t see what’s to hate on. Bro is the king of rap right now. But tell me why you don’t like him?
loved gkmc but couldnt get into tpab and damn. It was too all over the place for me , too expirimental.
Kendrick a top tier rapper, thats for sure. But last 2 albums dus no good for me.
My opinion TDE f***ed up a lot of there artists. Jay Rock , Kendrick , Ab-soul and schoolboy should’ve resurrect the westcoast but TDE f***ed up the creative process.
Game paved the way for them dudes. Put them on his mixtapes. Gave jay rock the features as well as Kendrick (K-Dot back then) Skee played the s*** out of them in his radio shows , gave them the mixtapes, which were defintely poppin’ back then.
Jay Rock first album , Kendrick first album had them on the verse of ressurecting the West again.
Also G. Malone and Ya Boy where heavy hitters back than with Crooked I backing them up with the hiphop weekly’s.
Shake the westcoast never ressurected like that. Most of the artists make the wrong choices en never really blossomed
But once again its my opinion and everyone is entitled to have one
Has a certain percentage of features of him trying stuff where it’s “what the hell is happening dawg”
Sometimes he experiments too much on his features. I respect the risk and it does work but for certain features i would love to hear straight raps
How critics and stans are afraid to mention anything negative about him or his music. Do it once and you'll get attacked by a bunch of angry kids.
As for Kendrick as a person, absolutely nothing.
What's negative about his music?
Tell me one thing
He’s just boring and not that interesting to me, and I think his alien voice is very off-putting.
For whatever reason, the slightest criticism of him invites legions of angry fans who refuse to believe that he is anything less than god’s gift to rap
Seems like a nice guy tho idk
I'm in your boat
Biggest mindblown was when i found out Devoted is Akademiks account all that d*** ridding finally makes sense
What's negative about his music?
Tell me one thing
I wouldn’t evn make that claim about drake and he’s my 🐐 lol
No one is perfect man
Plenty of people already posted their criticism of him itt

They really try their hardest to make something that’s completely subjective, objective. That’s what critic bait does to the mind.
