Not saying I don't like this one
Same, just crazy that people put Kendrick on this like untouchable pedestal and drops an album like this after a 5 year gap
After first listen album felt sleepy, maybe itās too chill. Maybe itāll change after a few more spins
love that it's super chill
This album is a collection of everything from the election of trump to the riots to today and all the frustration of dealing with it
The sheer tension and pressure of the time since 2016 encapsulated
I wouldnāt be shocked if he wins AOTY at the Grammys tbh
would be a huge win
Funny enough the only song he mixed on this was We Cry Together
Manny Marroquin mixed the rest
Really? Damn I thought he mixes everything tde

ali cant miss
i wonder if the tours will be set up like plays
Tour executively produced by Lin Manuel Miranda
When Iām listening to Auntie Diaries canāt help but think of that always Sunny episode where Mac finds the lottery ticket and Frank yells the f word at him to save his life.
Idk how you got resentment from this. This is the most relatable, sweetest album he's ever dropped. Not the way DAMN was sweet. DAMN was easy listening compared to this. This is "I'm not your savior, you are your savior" stuff. Putting the mirror on all of his own flaws and guilt and shortcomings. It's an album on the human condition. He's not talking about persecuted like Kanye. It's a lot more like 4:44 where he's coming after himself. Heart Part 5 lays all that out when he's talking about perspective and changing yourself from the inside.
I think where me and you would disagree with this approach is the lack of materialism, lack of politic, etc. It's all idealism, but that's why it's so relatable. This album has me reflecting on domestic dispute calls and divorce and family being strung out and my LGBT relatives. DAMN just felt like puppy love. This is a therapy session
I donāt like this album because it made me come to terms with who I am and I need to do better but doing better is scary bc I donāt know how to do better. F*** you Kendrick Lamar.
Mixed by Ali the secret weapon, this man canāt miss
Nobody uses him to his full abilities like Kendrick though
Honestly this album gonna ruin Kendrickās perfect score with critics
but thatās not a bad thing at all & thatās seemingly what he wants
Nothing will get white critics away from this man
Rich nigga, broke phone
Tryna keep the balance, I'm stayin' strong
Stop playin' with me 'fore I turn you to a song
Stop playin' with me 'fore I turn you to a song
Ayy, b****, I'm attractive
Can't f*** with you no more, I'm fastin', ugh
B****, I'm attractive
Can't f*** with you no more, I'm fastin', ugh

Really? Damn I thought he mixes everything tde
I donāt think so considering that Kendrick is technically out of TDE now
After first listen album felt sleepy, maybe itās too chill. Maybe itāll change after a few more spins
you listened to this and itās āsleepyā?

There's this bleak frustration throughout the entire album. Reminds me of how much trauma the world has gone through the last couple of years with COVID.
Like the album, definitely not the GOAT defining album people were expecting tho
Also not as surprised by Kendrickās f-bombs as others. Heās always been lowkey edgy. One of the lead singles off of TPAB was a Black-on-Black crime anthem
