this man is ugly as f***

He probably recorded most of the album from 2019-2021 and then tweaked it for about a year because almost all the leaked snippets from last year ended up making the album although some of them were heavily reworked.

Yeah definitely because of the songs u named. The highs are higher production wise to me, and the solid ones are on par.

I love DAMN. though bro, but DAMN. is carried more by Kendrick’s rapping to me than the production I definitely like the production here more personally. By quite a bit

Kendrick’s best song

It is and its pretty straight forward too what he saying on that track, but you should really check out the album with lyrics

Makes it even better

die hard and rich spirit are both super ok

Father time is his most relatable song

That is understandable and I respect it

It is a decisive song!

yeah i did on my second listen, it did make me enjoy it way more. so now i'm a lil more familiar and can catch the bars on my own

I still don't understand what Samoa's hook means on father time

The bridge on Savior into the last verse >>>>

How's he going to perform aunty's diaries

lol tbc every song on here is excellent and this is the best album i’ve heard in years.

Who’s samoa?

get out yo feelins and miss me with that reverse psychology

basically playing around with alcoholic terms and relating it to trauma

Sampha *

Kendrick is saying that he used the f word thinking it was no big deal cause he wasn’t trans himself & couldn’t relate to their struggle & how much it hurt.

Then he brings up the white girl to bring up the exact same point, but in a different way. In this scenario, Kendrick is his Uncle & white people are Kendrick’s use of the F word.

White people couldn’t grasp Kendrick’s objection to the use of the n word by the white girl, because they (the white people) aren’t black & obviously can’t relate to the struggle & how much it hurts black ppl for whites to use it.

“I said them F bombs, I ain’t know any better, mistakenly I didn’t think that you know any different”

“To truly understand love. Switch positions. F f f, we can say it together but only if you let a white girl say n”

It feels good don’t it

We’ve gotten good music but THAT/THIS feeling been gone for a while

Idk I can’t describe it

kendrick snapped on these we cry together verses lmao too real

Rich Spirit is one of them ones

Are u ugly? That might take away from enjoyment

shoulda followed my mind in 09 and just moved to georgia!

nah i'm beautiful

Ohh. Thanks for breaking it down for me
