That squabble up video is 
Albums Kendrick Lamar - GNX (Official Album Thread)
- Thread starter H.J.Duck
- Start date
Janet for Poetic Justice
Rihanna for Loyalty
ASAP Rocky for Problems
Other people probably Weeknd and TDE
I think him and SZA make magic together. Summer Walker on “Purple Hearts” was a head scratcher though. SMHLike how Pac made Outlawz rapped over his dope shyt & SZA New Age Record Skip Singing gives me a headache:
Yea those guys on GNX weren’t good unlike when Traffic and TF showed up on Schoolboy Qs “Tookie Knows part II” randomly.

So i listened to it twice and while i think it's a fun album overall, i kinda figured out my issues with it although it might be a little technical/nitpicky.
First off, i love the production except maybe tv off.
My over all issues are with the delivery. Like some people have said, i think he's ODing on the funny voices/adlibs, etc to the point where it distracts from the vibe at times. He's always done it since Section 80 but on this project it's over emphasized. Before it was used as a "spice" but it's almost like a chef realizing you like black pepper so he dumps a whole kilo of it in the pot. I liked Not Like Us, Euphoria, etc. for those moments but on this album it sounds forced a little. Almost like he's going out of his way to try to do "something interesting" with his voice or adlibs or pronunciation of certain words. Classic example, on ADHD, the way he say "FOK DHAAT" on the chorus it was super catchy for some reason. Or the way he raps on the song maad city, it works with the context of the song and beat. It works on Meet the Grahams, Family Ties, etc. On this album, there's some moments where i personally felt like he was doing too much and reaching too much delivery wise instead of just letting it come naturally where appropriate.
Again, maybe I'm nitpicking...One thing I'll say, he sounds like he's having a lot of fun on this, paying homage to the West but still with his own spin on it. Production is dope, still a great album and i will be listening again.

I want to post my theory about this album, but I'm expecting the same reaction
Maybe when the hype calms down I'll post my theory
Even my homie he fukk with GKMC and Damn Kendrick but not TPAB and Mr Morale Kendrick and he was saying this might be his favorite Kendrick album.
My wife is a Cole fan and she finally kissed the ring after this album and said Kendrick the goat.

After listening to the album more during the weekend. Just like I thought. This album gets better the more you listen to it. First listen I gave it an 7.5. Now I give it an 8.5. Shyt in time It may be even a 9 or so. I can’t believe I wasn’t fukkin with Luther on first listen. I like every song, but GNX song is the weakest. Could’ve left that one off.
REINCARNATED!!!
EDIT: I still think this was a project he decided to make (out the blue) to give back to the underground, the west coast, and to have a couple more new songs to perform for the superbowl. The actual album will have all the big features and concepts etc. The leaks before the beef said he had a mixtape, and an album, and at that point one was called “gemini”, and the other was called “throne of blood”. It’s all just rumors though of course.
