Music: New Kendrick Lamar Album

[Deku]

God DAMN this **** is great.
Only song I dont like is "Love" and even then I can tolerate it
I will lose my mind if there is another album Sunday

 

[Alex Jones]

I think that the odds of another album are extremely low, but if it did happen that would be one of the all time hip hop moments.

Just an FYI but Kendrick will be performing at Coachella on Sunday. I'm sure he'll have some surprises up his sleeve.

DNA. broke Big Quint's chair again.

After listening to this album many times over I agree with Alex Jones's analysis. Track for track it is as good as GKMC (and TPAB fwiw) but the way that the latter two albums are themed and conceptualized draws you more into them

Pretty much how I feel about it which is why I have it just a tier below TPAB and GKMC on my first listen, but it's inching closer and closer imo.

The theme on this was is much more simple and not as in your face as GKMC: he's been shot and killed, and as he's dying, all those emotions (loyalty, pride, humble, love, lust, DNA, etc.) are flashing before his eyes.

Love this album. Also saw this and had a good laugh.

That's sort of the way that I see it. One of the interesting things to me will be the way that a narrative develops around this album. Today we talk about it being a less thematic album than Kendrick's first two, but in a couple of years people may talk about it as having the same sort of cohesive thematic elements that those had.

For my money, rapgenius gets a lot of explanations wrong.

 

[TRG]

I'm waiting.

 

[vdB]

Time to eat some crow folks...lol ive been laughing at all these idiots on reddit all weekend. Great stuff.

Gotta applaud Dog Entertainment for their brilliant marketing

They got it trending BIG TIME.

DNA. broke Big Quint's chair again.

I'm genuinely happy I'm not the only person here that watches him haha. Was waiting for his DNA reaction. Not dissapointed. No chair on earth can hold that man.

He's a beauty

He's legendary. His rant mid-review was hilarious.

Lirl. So good.

Also, you're welcome, because that's what good hiphop is.

Thanks for the lecture

[kmad]

GKMC > DAMN. > TPAB > s80 > uu

 

[Chandrashekhar Limit]

Kenny is absolutely killing it @ Coachella

 

[Alex Jones]

GKMC > DAMN. > TPAB > s80 > uu

Untitled Unmastered is way better than Section.80.

 

[Chandrashekhar Limit]

Damn this is some good ****. You guys should catch a recording of this if u missed it.

The encore was Love. I guess that's going to be the next single. Gross.

 

[TheCanasianfrasian]

This album is much better than TPAB imo.

Standout tracks for me are

DNA
LOYALTY
HUMBLE
XXX
FEAR
DUCKWORTH

 

[M.C.G. 31]

I caught a bit of his set up until Travis Scott came out because I had to sleep, but his performance was killer.

The encore was Love. I guess that's going to be the next single. Gross.

Listening to the album more and more and I don't hate LOVE. at all tbh. Weaker than other tracks on the album, yeah, but I can't say I really hate it.

 

[Peasy]

Lust is lowkey fire.
