    Imagine a British man trying to lecture us about the current state of hip-hop

    A British man that reads the Daily Mail unironically, mind you

    It is off of technical ability and the fact it's the whole song, but that last verse on MY EYES just seems more intimate and a peek at his psyche

    Look in my eyes, tell me a tale
    Do you see the road, the map to my soul?
    Look, tell me the signs whenever the smoke clear out of my face
    Am I picture-perfect, or do I look fried?
    All of that green and yellow, that drip from your eyes is tellin'
    Tell you demise, I went to my side
    To push back the ceilin' and push back the feelings, I had to decide

    I replay them nights, and right by my side
    All I see is a sea of people that ride wit' me
    If they just knew what Scotty would do to jump off the stage
    And save him a child
    The things I created became the most weighted
    I gotta find balance and keep me inspired (hah)
    Yeah, yeah

    That boy had some substance and spoke on it the right way. I'll always be personally impressed by this verse

    Took everything up for the takin', I couldn't save it
    See red and blues, I hit the pavement, got love, got vacant

    Probably the fact that I know it be really dark on them stages sometimes, being security at a festival sometimes you don't see what's happening. You'll just see a damn near lifeless being crowd surfed to the front

    Same fans that called UTOPIA fraudulent because he did bundles. Now it was “organic” because that fits their current anti-Kendrick agenda

    12 song album btw

    25% of streams from 1 song. clearly length is not that big of a factor months later.

    They said the album flopped because the streams weren’t high and the pure sales carried so the numbers were fraudulent

    Streaming wise it’s had some really good longevity. I don’t think anyone ever questioned Utopia outside of it’s first week pure sales lol
