It’ll be interesting but Ye obviously gets murdered by Kendrick just off of flows
NMPILA would like a word
I've seen a few people saying they've enjoyed how this album has a bit of a loose structure to it that's not as rigid as TPAB, but my only issue is the execution of it feels more to be desired for me. I actually think he achieved that better on untitled unmastered and that's a bunch of loosies
Why does every album have to be compared to a Kanye album lol
Because he’s been the top standard since 2004
this is kendricks s*** album
everyone has to have one
You said this is his Vol. 3 👀 LORRRRDDDDDDDD
Ye the gold standard
Doesn’t mean other great artists need to follow the same discography trajectory
5 Stars in The Evening Standard and The Independent
critics about to treat this like his defining album
@Q3D I messaged your ass 😂
Y’all believe kendrick when he said he caught a few bodies?
Doubt he did it himself, but may feel responsible for what happens around him ?

He's the goat. Of course he got a few bodies on him
Insert „this is kendrick‘s …“ joke
Thx for the likes
This is Kendricks Day 69
Let’s be real here. How many times can one actually bump Auntie Diaries before it becomes unlistenable? It was 5 for me.
and how about we cry together?
Because he’s been the top standard since 2004
So why do they use his albums to insult this here then?
i guess i'll start by saying i do get what he was trying to go for with the storytelling, like it's meant to be this tale about growing up, maturing, and understanding intentions of words that you learn just by being around people as a kid, as well as not letting things you don't understand prevent you from caring about them
but the way he tries to tell this story is just so ... unnecessary?? i feel like he could've gotten what he wanted to get across just the same without spouting the f-slur like 10 times
i do get why he did it but it doesn't feel warranted. plus the fact that he seemingly is fine with his aunt (now uncle) being trans, but his cousin mary-ann is still referred to with he/him pronouns, as well as deadnamed multiple times
if this is his attempt at normalizing transgender people in hip-hop, he did a really s***ty job at it, honest
i think he did better than most have ever attempted to
i thought it was touching
the entirety of the album is kendrick coming to grips with extremely vulnerable, loaded, and volatile aspects of his life he hasn't revealed before despite people clamoring that he's "talked about this stuff before"
it's very shocking and poised to be polarizing. i dont expect him to handle feelings he's struggled with, with kid gloves
a trans person's deadname is their birth name, the name they no longer go by. in this example, kendrick's cousin mary-ann's deadname is demetrius. when trans people are referred to by this name, it is usually taken as a derogatory action, and it often makes the person feel invalidated, as if they aren't the gender that they really are
Wow, I never knew it was considered derogatory. Thanks a lot for that.
@Q3D I messaged your ass 😂
Let's goooo I'll check it out when I get some more free time!
i may be misunderstanding heavy but is kendrick saying he hit whitney?
no
he's saying people came and assaulted his mom
Y’all believe kendrick when he said he caught a few bodies?
He is 5’4
Even though I don't love the album, respect to Kendrick for coming back after 5 years with something like this
that is brave
and I don't mean it as a diss
Y’all believe kendrick when he said he caught a few bodies?
You wanna see a dead body?
Doesn’t mean other great artists need to follow the same discography trajectory
Its not a trajectory to follow, it's the quality
