Last time I felt this way about a Drake song is Look What You've Done or Too Much and I love Drizzy fr.
Unfortunately he even says in Churchill Downs that he's not relatable anymore.
Raw / personal isnt about being relatable though. The remorse is def personal to him and so are the other songs i mentioned tbh except for seeing green
Onto disc 2.
had two listens, first one drunk and faded with the homies and through a speaker, s*** wasnt what we expected lmao. kinda weird first listen, silents hill and mr morale went crazy tho
second listen is rn with headphones at home, I'm definitely appreciating it more but I dont f*** with the preachy songs honestly. When it hits its dope, some amazing songs and introspective rapping, Father Time a highlight
will listen for a third time tomorrow and rate this, All I will say is that respect Kendrick's boldness to drop this after DAMN and a 5 year hiatus
Yeah I love how f***ing weird he went, NOBODY can say he played it safe
But what songs did u find preachy
Seeing this being split in separate parts... Was DAMN.NATION ever confirmed or even alluded to? Or was it just internet bullshit?
Internet bullshit
Mr morale is in two parts tho, its a "double disc"
Wonder if drake is aware of the artistic gap between him and Kendrick, If he deep down actually cares or not
He very very obviously doesnāt care
Like if he cared he would not be making the music he makes now he chose to take a different lane in 2015 and itās worked great for him
That gap is gonna keep existing though but he could make it at least a decent amount smaller if he really wanted to and was willing to sacrifice his mainstream appeal a little for it
ngl
did anyone else mom ask if they've been touched a lot as a child?
Yup
Kendrick admitting he f***s white women
Drake admitting he's not relatable anymore
lord what's happening to our goats
hip hop reaching its twilight shoutout to @fiveprestos
It almost feels like Eminem and Dr. Dre had a heavy hand in this and not Kendrick. It feels very Pop.
first song sounds like some Radiohead, come on y'all telling me Kendrick don't listen to Radiohead
think he literally says āstop tapdancing around itā at one point too lol
yeah its we cry together he says "Stop tap-dancing around the conversation"
@GEENO said, he realized he couldn't save hip hop (I'd say the world) and realized he had to save his family/himself from his generational trauma.
you can't heal the world until you heal yourself
For sure
And yeah Kendrick was definitely aiming for the world
there is an artificialness to the song writing that makes me think it has been present all along. that sours my take on his older work as of now. He is a great actor which is cool but I don't look for acting out of music
it literally has been 4 hours
Kendrick admitting he f***s white women
Drake admitting he's not relatable anymore
lord what's happening to our goats
When s*** hits the fan, is you still a fan?
I feel like he need third act. I donāt know why but I need secret ending,
If in the first act you have hung a pistol on the wall, then in the following one it should be fired. Otherwise don't put it there
But this is art. Itās not from his current perspective, heās speaking from a time when he was more ignorant.
Sure, but misgendering in the trackās title show that he hasnāt learned much. Iām glad that he isnāt plain transphobic, though. Itās just mild annoyance at relatives of trans people Ā« grieving Ā» the old genders. Itās fetishizing his Ā« struggle Ā» more than honesty.

What is a Radiohead

Yeah I love how f***ing weird he went, NOBODY can say he played it safe
