let’s not use publisher reviews just enjoy it if you do.




It was never really about Marilyn. Its really been about aligning with Trump I think. Also fresh off DaBaby thing, everything with Kanye appears to be solely for shock value, like what he was doing with Antonio Brown and doing all the things people say he shouldn't do and he does it loudly. Kendrick moves in silence, even when he can say something like me and Kodak are the same dude.

Ye is never going to live that down. But yeah I see what's going on here and everyone knows hes a white media darling. I don't think Kodak did it though, he just fits the "profile"

I am going to have to give this a thorough listen cause the fast version didn’t hit
Gotta give it a few more listens but..

I think this is his worst album.

Still enjoying it, but....

It is not grabbing me on the first few listens like GKMC, TPAB and Damn did.
i feel the exact same way. I think this is in that “semiretired rapper” lane Jay be dropping albums in where it’s so introspective it’s not really enjoyable.

My spot is solidified if you ask me

Yup.. for me it's like, most of these songs, I can appreciate what he's doing artistically but when the fukk am I ever gonna listen to this shyt? Like what mindset do I have to be in to enjoy a song like We Cry Together or Mother I Sober? I can't play these shyts at the gym, can't play em at a party, can't bump in the whip.. like this is not music I can vibe to in any way.

Anyone doubting this,..

Relax - this a classic...There's soooo much to process on here...Just be patient

Reminds me of The Love Below..
The shyts barely been out 12 hours :dahell:

I don't care where you fall reception wise, that's way too early to claim anything a 'classic'
