So grateful I was able to add it to my AM playlist. It was so f***ing beautifully written and produced… it’s not only a snapshot of his agenda and feelings post-beef, but it’s almost like a mission statement for his career leading up to this point and time. I couldn’t stop replaying it when it released and I only selfishly hope he magically adds it to the deluxe just so he can expose more people to his words.
Its gonna age like f***ing wine too man
And they’re literally just saying it cause of sound and fashion association like the s*** is crazy. He not throwing up gang signs, he not talking gang s***, and the gang imagery he shows is obviously a cultural homage to even a f***ing toddler
Ironically if it was more publicly known that he actually was a gangbanger mfs wouldn’t be spouting this nonsense
He literally been on the same s*** as when he first started.
"Who is K. Dot? A young nigga from Compton
On the curb writing raps next to a gun shot
On the corners where the gangsters and the killers dwell
The fraudulent tender scars that get unveiled
Everyone I knew was either crip or piru
Cousins in elementary, relatives in high school
With that being said, each one of their rivals
Was aiming something at my head, I needed survival
Got jumped, got jacked, shot at, shot back
And I don't even push a line, I'm just tryna push these rhymes
In the midst of staying neutral and discrete
My momma said you're judged by the company you keep
But what you can consider, that if it goes down
They'll kill you if you kill me, it gets deep nigga
So if you ask what I'm doing
I'm tryna duck the influence of my city that's brewing, real talk"
Kendrick don’t have one single video where he throws up gang signs like this.
SMH. Yall really let this nigga run rap
I hope bro meant favorite Drake verse of 2018 and not just in general
Count Me Out hits so much harder
He really was warning niggas the whole Mr Morale
Count Me Out hits so much harder
He really was warning niggas the whole Mr Morale
I'm in therapy now and hoping I come out with as much focused hate as Kendrick does

Nigga was on that tony soprano type therapy
He did not become a better person at all
First time really listening since the new mix, the mix on the 3rd verse of reincarnated seems different when the God voice is coming in, like the beat might get more stripped down or the voice is just clearer
Has this been confirmed anywhere?
S*** sound da same to me
S*** sound da same to me
Yea…. Kendrick ain’t ever really been one to update albums like that too tbh
Count Me Out hits so much harder
He really was warning niggas the whole Mr Morale
“Stop playing with me, fore I turn you to a song”
Yea…. Kendrick ain’t ever really been one to update albums like that too tbh
DAMN was updated, albeit after cd’s were pressed and before it was uploaded to streaming. The physical version has all kinds of mix differences
Nigga was on that tony soprano type therapy
He did not become a better person at all
Therapy helped Mr Soprano to become a better sociopath
He literally been on the same s*** as when he first started.

"Stop it, I'm hearin' the comments
The critics are calling me conscious
But truthfully, every shooter be calling me Compton
So truthfully, only calling me Kweli and Common?
Proves... that ignorance is bliss"
Kendrick back in 2010
niggas need to give it a rest
Drake really unbothered by this midget
It's gettin' down to the wire
Get on my Bob the Builder s***, get down with the pliers
Been comin' back-to-back hits, how this nigga ain't tired?
I'm with some rockstar b****es, they want Lizzie McGuire
I'm switchin' gears, I pop the clutch, I'll send a nigga up
A risk-taker, I'll call you niggas' bluff
If they hangin' out for real, we come deduct
tuckin' tails, they out of luck
When it's wartime, they hidin' in the cut
Y'all had y'all chance, y'all couldn't do it
I swear I'm comin' worser than y'all baby moms
I'm puttin' niggas through it
They hate to see me doin' it
Meal ticket, I'm pursuin' it
I'm in the field for real, UCLA Bruins
They askin' how I do it, how a young nigga so fluent
I kept my mouth closed and I ain't never leave no witness
D.O.A. up on the scene, tell 'em Young Threat did it, nigga
This verse been stuck in my head. Bro killed that s***
Watch The Party Die is the best song Kendrick released this year lyrically
I love that he references Watch The Party Die in Wacced Out Murals
WTPD def felt like the actual ending for the beef and the fact people aren’t really talking about the song is a crime
So connecting the end of the beef (WTPD) to the new album was beautiful IMO
