To save us all time...

Last year, I had listened to UU at least like 4 times each week. I can't see myself going back to DAMN. even a few more times, just like Big Sean's Decided which I will only go back to for one song.

The lyrics (requiring Genius.com) are great, smart, deep etc. but the songs are not repeatable, catchy, or instrumentally impressive.

Typically, for me, I rarely find an album where more than half of the songs are the sort that I love to much, I just listen to the entire album on repeat. TLoP was a mess (had to get different versions of the tracks, change up the order to what Ye had last minute) and 70% of those songs are so good I can just perpetually listen to that album.

Going backwards, TPaB ~ m.a.a.d city ~ Section 80, there aren't any outright BAD songs. Not saying DAMN. has anything offensively bad, but outside of the lyrics on their own, most is musically forgetful.

Musically, there are only two songs on this whole album which are as good as that one bit in Freedom (Beyonce), or most of his other music.

Which ones?

DAMN. shits on most music out there, I just don't find it as great as the others. Like, if this were my first Kendrick album I wouldn't have known to be a fan. That's all I'm saying.

I don't really like DAMN either other than two songs. I feel like I'm so disconnected with most people concerning music that's been released since the late 2000's. I'm not sure how to describe my taste, but I can sense it's vastly different from most.

DAMN is the first album I enjoy that most of gafhop kinda likes. Normally they talk about trap rappers which I have no idea what's appealing about them. When they do bring up an artist I like it's 50/50 if they like them or just toss them aside and it's never brought up again lol. It's hard finding good recs for rap. On the other hand the R&B thread and Jazzy hip hop thread have been pretty consistent for me.

It's mostly advice, and guidance. He gives me advice but sorta indirectly puts me down. Like he's helping me sign up for this six month trade program but then he talks about how I'm going to be 25 soon and I should at least have an associate degree.

How does the rest of Canada feel about Quebec? It always seemed like a bunch of France wantabes got a country and doing them the damnest to get noticed by sempai
Click to expand...

Growing up out west we all generally thought Quebec was an attention seeker and complained nonstop. I'll even admit I would say some straight up ignorant things about French-Canada when I was young because that was the mindset out here. Then I actually looked at Canadian history and the source of my discrimination and begun to understand where they were coming from. Quebec was a French colony that was handed over to the British after the British defeated them and the people have been adamant in retaining their culture ever since, which I can't fault them for.

Canada is a lot more regional than non-Canadians might think. Out here in BC we can feel detached from the rest of the country because it often feels like everything revolves around Ontario and Quebec, and we usually shit on Alberta who otherwise gets lumped in with us as being Western Canada.

If I was Canadian I would live in Alberta, because they have a dinosaur named after them
