This y'all mans?
Yeah I don't even know. I fuck with about half the songs, the other half I'm not sure about yet.
DNA, element, pride, feel, fear, xxx, and duckworth are all dope as fuck though I know that much for sure.
Just don't worry about that judgement rn brah

I thought that was the actual title. Less embarassing.
It's his Graduation
As good as this Kendrick is, I think I'll be getting a lot more repeat listens out that Carti. Some of the tracks on there are just incredible. Let It Go is just...
First song on this new Carti
Side note, I echo that Duckworth is awesome.
yeah basically
i have no idea how or why tracks like Love and Loyalty could end up on the same project as Fear and Duckworth
His Late Registration to be honest.

Gotta be honest, I'm kinda done with worthless rappers wasting this new era of fire 16/32-bit JRPG hip-hop beats

Love definitely goes in same trash bin as These Walls/Real/Poetic Justice/No Makeup.
Best love song kendrick's​ made remains untitled 06.
Edit: also going to expecting another album on sunday

These Walls is an Auto skip every time. Just like Poetic Justice and No Makeup.
It's early but Lust might be one of my favorite Kendrick songs. I think that's the track BBNG produced too.

Just finished my first listen of Damn.
What I got from this album is that, apparently To Pimp A Butterfly ended up being more ambitious than even Kendrick was expecting. Don't get me wrong, there are some fucking bangers on here. DNA is a song of the year candidate. Loyalty and Love are pretty dope too. Then there's tracks like XXX and Fear that have some really good ideas to them.
But there's something about this that makes it feel like Kendrick got shook by TPAB. Yeah, it got praised by Pitchfork and Fandango and all us hip-hop heads but there was still your main young raps that didn't really fuck with it cause it was a funky jazzrap project in an age where Future, Thug, and Migos were doing shit with trap no one could dream of. DAMN gets me the feeling that Kendrick didn't really like how those guys weren't fucking with it.
What did those guys mostly fuck with? Section .80 & GKMC, so he gave us a album going back to that sound. But that's what gets me about it. Going back.
Think about it like this. Y'all remember how niggas trashed 808's when it came out for being auto-tuned crooning instead of being y'know, rap? Imagine if instead of following up 808s with MBDTF, Kanye went "Fuck it, lemme give these people the College Dropout shit they wanted." That would sound dope as fuck! But it wouldn't be the growth he needed.
This could've been Kenny's MBDTF moment and he settled for revisiting College Dropout. I'm giving this thing a buncha re-listens, but right now this feels like his weakest for sure.

I love the keys on the beat during the second half of the verses of These Walls. I wish the whole song sounded like that. Not a big fan of the track otherwise. It's not "Real" tier, but it's not a favorite either. "Poetic Justice" is just boring imo. Skip
"LOVE" is definitely a bottom tier track on the new album. Along with "GOD."

Definitely sounds like something new and not going back to his old sound at all. Surprised that you got that from this.
Like, net saod I really like this as an anti response to TPAB.
From his post TPAB stuff I got the impression that Kendrick didnt want to get trapped by TPAB and be expected to continue with that sound.

Love is sounding like a low rent/bastardized Hendrxx song.
What was it? Links not working for me.
