I still haven't listened to Damn a second time, I was just so put off by the sound and left so uninterested in the project, I should really get to it.
Watched Fantano's review for Damn....he really goes in on Kendrick's views at around eight minutes, LOL.
Do people take Kendrick's views seriously?
Dude believes we are in the biblical end times/credits his grandmother for that:
"We're in the last days, man -- I truly in my heart believe that. It's written. I could go on with Biblical situations and things my grandma told me. But it's about being at peace with myself and making good with the people around me."
Not to mention his hotep negus rant at the end of "i", he's smartdumb like Nas.
FZZ was there taking all the Ls though during that launch. All of em.
Also with Saint Pablo and Sampha's dulcet tones singing over that beat...TLOP officially became a good album to me. Was iffy at first, but I really dig it
TLOP is great, it's incredible sonic journey and the theme of vibes/feelings/memories that continues across the project hits hard personally (especially on Waves).
Saint Pablo sucks though, and Fade was the perfect ending place for the project.
