Whilst this may be subject to change, this does not move me so far. I mean Kendrick does his thing but it is not very captivating.

 

[Roxx the King]

Ghostface!!!!!

"Daddy issues kept me competitive
That's a fact nikka
I don't give a fukk whats the narrative
I am THAT nikka
When Kanye got back with Drake, I was slightly confused
Guess I'm not as mature as I think. Got some healing to do"

So basically he went back to non-commercial route like on TPAB.

Started off really bad. It's getting better. On rich spirit now

 

[Chip Skylark]

I REALLY wasn’t expecting this type of album from him. From the album title to Heart Part 5 song and video I wasn’t prepared for THIS amount of raw emotion and honesty. I was expecting a hybrid rap/doo woo or soul music album, instead this is a confessional.


I don’t even know what song individually would work as a proper single. This is a body of work that HAS to be experienced as one piece of music.


Its going to be interesting how the label and Kendrick promotes the album throughout the year. Its also a peculiar time to release an album like this as it doesn’t sound like a “summer” album at ALL.


Either way its a true work of art and i’n happy Kendrick this route. He really brought up some topics that black men and the black community on the whole needs to address.

Die hard or rich spirit.

GOAT.

 

[chiefdogg]

Die hard or rich spirit.

Throw "Count Me Out" in there as well.

 

[valet]

I dont listen to Kodak buy maybe hr chose him because he likes to talk about his traumas too?

 

[winb83]

You know an artist has truly evolved their music when he's getting the "why can't you make the same music you did 10 years ago " responses

Some rap fans hate change

The response to that is Kanye West. Not all change is good.

 

[Scaaar]

Father Time
We Cry Together
Purple Hearts
Count Me Out

 

[T.H.E. Goat]

It’s a weird album, I’m still trying to figure out if I love it or not


Weird beats but immaculate rapping

 

[valet]

I probably mishearing him. But is he saying he cheated on his wife on Mother?

 

[Kidd Dibiase]

What a wack way to start the album
