Keep in mind that kendrick decided not to add Not Like Us/Euphoria on the album, even as bonus tracks, despite not like us approaching the 1 billion streams...the streams of that song alone, + the sales of gnx would have made it possible for Kendrick to pull 1 million album units.

So yeah I can see Kendrick having Jay and Nas on a deluxe, we're talking about an artist that is sitting on hundreds of A1 tracks and features just because "they don't match the albums he wanted to make"

IMO this is almost a flawless album, not many changes I would make, I would have included Not Like Us as track 3 to keep that aggressive momentum going for a solid 3 track run or alternatively added one more harder sounding song there, other than that I dont really care for the title track and for me that's the only song that keeps this album from being a front to back no skipper for me.

Reincarnated was a wonderful surprise when that beat dropped and hands down my favorite song on the album, it's no coincidence the current GOAT would be inspired by and pay homage to the GOAT of all GOATS on this album.

Everybody else really gotta step it up in 2025 in terms of full bodies of work releases. I bet a lotta 4th quarter artists scrapped their whole albums and went back to the drawing boards after this dropped.

Adding Not Like Us to the tracklisting wouldn’t have counted towards the first week just the overall album sales.
