Albums Kendrick Lamar - GNX (Official Album Thread)

[Rapmastermind]

I agree, instant classic might be a little premature. But atleast at the moment while it’s fresh, it do feel atleast like a 4 out of 5 mics to me. (I do get why people say it’s a classic tho. ) All the samples were awesome and yea it’s crazy thinking “damn people don’t even know where the heart was sampled from. He surely stands ALONE in this era.

Dot was born in 87, he would have been young in the mid-90s but I'm sure he grew up on the SWV track along with the other tracks I mentioned. It was a good sample flip which is why the production sounds dope. Let's bring back dope sampling again. I liked every "Heart" track he's done. It's a great series for him. I also understand why the disses didn't make it. He really wanted the project to stand on it's own.

GNX title track reminds me of Nas' Zone Out...weird ass beat with weed carrier verses that are lowkey hilarious. I fukk with it but i understand people having problems with it

A mix of both. Few songs very Not Like Us, other songs very different. It's diversed in an unkendricklamary way

Not Like Us mixed with Damn

 

[AngryBaby]

Didn't get to the last 2 on the ride home.

I'll be the contrarian: he leaned a bit too much into the West Coast/100 BPM Mustard sound a bit too much for me. Squabble Up and TV Off are the best offerings in that lane.

Luther and Hey Now are the weakest to me though I'm sure both can function as singles. I'm in the minority but Dodger Blue ain't blowing my mind either.

Agree with this except that Luther is the weakest track, I think it's the best melodic track lol

Kendrick to me still hasn't surpassed his GKMC days, those songs are still sicker than these songs if you compare them side by side. Just cleaner, better flows, more cohesive vision, more soul. Just sucks that to me that's Kendrick at his best, and people won't see that.

But glad it's getting treated well I guess

[Fade Runner 2049]

Yall had yall chance , yall couldn’t do it, I swear I’m comin worse than yall baby moms, yea I’m puttin nikkas thru it

 

[Po pimp]

That son wasn't humble like people was trying to make it. And son could be petty. I'm glad he's laying it all on the table and not faking the funk at this point.

To be fair, he called himself the greatest rapper of all time way back on DAMN.

 

[spliz]

To be fair, he called himself the greatest rapper of all time way back on DAMN.

It’s the fans fault.
