Idk what 3.15.20 is but its been mentioned alot itt
69.420 the best track on there
so, this isn't critic bait after all?
This is a direct critic challenge
Am I confused or was Auntie Diaries not a pro Trans song?
It was pro trans but the way he framed it was little clumsy
He had good intentions tho
Therapy did NOT help Kendrick
Nigga crazier than ever š

he's not Crazy
just not censoring himself or trying to be the person critics worship for being woke
Stankonia
omg yeah
100% he was listening to Radiohead during these sessions
Some instrumentals were reminiscent of Thoms solo work also
Which is probably why itās clicking with me. I love Radiohead and this totally is my vibe.
Done the first listen and honestly this is his worst project by a mile. I didnāt like TPAB but I still consider it a 7 because Kendrick is a GOAT-level artist no matter what he does you cannot deny the talent.
This however was hard to listen to. Itās not hard to listen to because itās personal. Itās hard to listen to because sonically itās not pleasant and even the meaning is too plain stated. Thereās not one metaphorical song on this that stacks up to a song like How much a Dollar cost.
I think this is the album where even his hardcore fans start to see what people have been saying about his previous albums. This one was just off the rails.
You sound like Zackās alt ngl
A lot to take in on this but I definitely think this is my 2nd fav after TPAB
I might be inclined to agree man idk the relistens hitting
i'm so curious
this might deadass get SLAMMED and i think theres a solid 50/50 on it
I guess I just mean he wasnāt going full out on his thoughts like he was on this where heās holding nothing back
He aint know himself would be the better term I think.
joints like How Much A Dollar Cost was very transparent though. He basically was dissing the homeless until the very end.
I do appreciate (and if Pathetic Pixels was still around if anybody ITT remember him, I think he would MUCH prefer albums like this from him than TPAB) that he realized himself that he aint a "savior/2pac" like figure. I think during TPAB he "tried to lift the black artist" and tried to help everybody. Hence the 2pac interviews and what not.
But those interviews during that era/the Mike Brown moments? Just showed a lack of perspective that I think play a BIG part in him not doing a lot of interviews anymore.
Glad he sought therapy. You can tell he was going through it lol.
I agree with you
I don't even think he's saying it like he doesn't care about Black issues or anything, but I think he probably resented the place in the 'culture' that people started to put his music and by extension him.
especially with how he describes himself on this album as being just as damaged as anyone else if not more, why should he be forced to be Mr. Pro Black when he's dealing with all this s*** in his own life?
People that think TPAB is a political album is mad

Peeps on here didnāt even hear him, just called him a hater. Now they all agree with him lol
