Is "U" the worst vocal performance of all time?

[thewiseman]

While the instrumental is extremely bland and Duckworth's flow was pitiful, the third verse?

shyt that might be the most excruciating experience I've heard in my life. The closest contender would be Eminem on Remind Me. Nothing comes close to WOATness

Who agrees?

Nah... I didn't get it at first but after a few listens that song became one of my favorites in the context of the album.

It was the turning point of the album... Basically hitting rock bottom.. The anger in the 1st to the sadness in the last verse. Definitely gave you a change of emotion within the song...

Now if you didn't listen to the album, go directly to listen to that song on its own without the context. I could see thinking it wasn't that good or not getting it, cause I didn't enjoy it at first.

But from him self reflecting on his sister getting pregnant as teen, his homeboy getting killed and him not being around because of his new fame and success. It's basically a tale about the price of fame and even when alot these dudes make it, they still aren't happy. And I thought that song did a great job of showing that.

Classic performance, man put his soul in to it.

 

[Metal Face]

That shyt is unlistenable

 

[Lhark]

Nowhere near

That shyt is unlistenable

Agreed. The worst song on ALLA has more replay value than any song on TPAB

 

[TransJenner]

Thought this was that LOVE song
Litteraly one of the most generic songs I ever heard

 

[SirBiatch]

You know what's hilarious? Just by the title 'woat vocal performance' and a pretentious track called 'u' I knew it was probably Kendrick

 

[Kenny West]

man i gotta agree (outside of worst ever hyperbole)....the sounds and voices on that jawn wasmakes it harder to get through on repeat listens

 

[brownsugah]

“Lovin u is complicate...ED!”

 

[Abstract83]

That's the only song I don't like on the album. He shoulda replaced it with the song he performed with Anna Wise and Bilal on. I get what he was doing but it just sounded horrible.

 

[Flav]

Love the album but always skipped that song.

That shyt is almost torture to listen to.
