It is a stage play. The tap dancing and piano make it to where if you close your eyes you can see Kendrick on stage with just a light on him and a piano in the corner.

I love when you count me out

I do f*** with Kendrick but this album is kinda depressed as f***.

I almost didn't feel anything good listening to this but it's definitely a good project.

It's just like theres a dark aura surrounding the project.

kendrick literally namedrops him in a bar about how people perceive him

People not really listening to understand, just listening to respond.

Unnecessary feature and placement. Kodak added nothing that baby Keem couldn’t have done.

Baby Keem isn’t the hood mentality of Kendrick. Kodak speaking from Kendricks dark side. Keem speaking from Kendricks good side.

It comes from a place of mental health problems for sure

Yeah honestly this is my favorite album of his it’s really resonating with me so much harder than anything else he’s done and I’ve been a fan since 2012, saw him open the Yeezus tour

This is the best Kendrick album IMO. Coming from a guy that was at his first headlining concert in a club of a couple hundred people.

This is Kendricks magnum opus and this is coming from a fan that saw him perfom his self titled EP to like 20 people

I think gkmc still my favorite of his

Easily his most vulgar and darkest album. Was a shock on first listen ngl

its one of the best albums of all time

Random, but anyone else feel like Dre kinda ethered Kendrick on the recipe

Kendrick most polarising album?

I actually teared up to Ghostface verse, probably the past 3 years getting to me

I still think damn is his darkest album tbh

Feel lust and pride are probably his darkest songs ever including u

Y’all always says this with ppl that are reciting Kendrick verses 😂

y'all talk about "Pitchfork" like it's one man. like it's Big Ghost or something.

all this means is the people who worked at Pitchfork and voted on DAMN. in 2017 gave it higher scores on average than the people who work at Pitchfork in 2022 voting on Mr. Morale. nothing more nothing less

Interesting takes. Keep talking

Agreed

Been around since S80 era myself, & I def agree with you mayne

Still hard to hear this album.
It has such a unique vibe that I will treat it like I did with Cudi's "Speedin Bullets 2 Heaven":

Only in specific moments I'm gonna revisit this one.

Once again... It's definitely a good album.

But I'm not in this vibe right now.
