    I’m happy this is better than d--- lol but yeah this is real cool. Some 10/10s on this one and gets better with every listen. Hard to top classics in GKMC and TPAB but I’m happy with this.

    Top 3 lyrically wise in the game is Cole, Benny and Conway the machine. I’ll put drake number 4 just because…. Kendrick ain’t up there lyrically for me, it’s a few n----s I’ll put before Kendrick right now lol


    I heard the album, ima hold off judging it, but y’all can sense where I’m going with it lmfaooooo

    I really like: Die Hard, Father Time, Rich Spirit, Auntie Diaries, Mother I Sober

    Die Hard and Rich Spirit smooth as h---. I like this style of Kendrick. He’s not trying hard to do all the extra s---. Father Time and Mother I Sober had me in my feelings. Straight up honest and vulnerable tracks with deliveries I can feel. He sounds genuine and I felt his pain. Auntie Diaries is an important track. Hip hop culture hasn’t always been the most inclusive when it comes to trans people and I’m glad he touched on that subject

    I like the vibe of Count Me Out but why is he dabbling in anti mask s---
    “Masks on the babies, mask on an opp
    Wear masks in the neighborhood stores you shop
    But a mask won't hide who you are inside
    Look around, the reality's carved in lies”

    I rolled my eyes when I heard that.


    Decent/respect the artistry: We Cry Together, Purple Hearts, Savior Interlude and Savior, Mr. Morale, Mirror. Impressive rapping and features are good. I acknowledge his craftsmanship and artistry but I don’t see myself bumping these much. We Cry Together covers important relationship issues but it’s hard to vibe to it. I don’t see myself going back to it

    Not into: United In Grief, N95, Worldwide Steppers, Crown, Silent Hill

    Ain’t feeling production and cadence on first track…overdoes it with extra s---. Production annoyed me. second track hints at anti mask Covid s---. Irritating voices on last verse. I ain’t feeling the spoken word flow he uses on Worldwide Steppers…and he praises quack Dr. Sebi. Crown gets repetitive and would work better if an r&b singer performed it. Silent Hill a weak a--- collab. You know who (Cole) would’ve floated so much better over that production

    It’s crazy it has a 100 on Metacritic and DONDA has a 53. This Kendrick album is good, but not perfect at all. Y’all were right…the critics had their reviews/scores already in mind before it even came out!

    Kendrick paying people to give his albums perfect scores, cause ain’t no way bro lol…. Them reviews were up hours after the album dropped lol. I seen hot 97 dropped a video asking was Kendrick too intelligent for hip hop listeners or something like that lol, s--- like that is lame as h---. s--- like that insult n----s like me, cause I don’t feel that s--- at all, and I’m a thinker and I’m far from dumb , some people just not into that type of music. Them asking that question says a lot about them tbr, and anybody that agrees with it, that’s some judgmental as s--- lol

    I'm not a fan. He's talented, but idk, his music doesn't connect with me. Cole was one of those rare artists who I liked instantly from the beginning and it never wavered. As far as this album I see Kodak Black the r--ist is featured so I won't be pressing play. Kendrick threatened to remove his music from spotify back when they wanted to take that other r--ist's music off so it's not too surprising. He probably cried over Kevin Samuels. He rubs me the wrong way.

    I first heard of Kevin samuels from that summer walker and ari Lennox song, where ari mentioned him, I said let me look this person up lol. Any man who followed that man words is a weirdo fr lol. How you let a gay man give you advice on a female lol. No wonder so many of these n----s some b------s fr lol, it all makes sense. And so many followed that man lol. I don’t believe in following no man, you take certain s--- from different people , but put no man on a pedestal. R.I.p to that man, but I won’t a follower of his words. Any man who speak down on females like that, I can’t respect it. These days, I got so much love for women, I’m cool with more females than n----s tbr lol. Females be telling me s---…. These n----s some hoes fr, I understand the method to these women madness frfr lol. These days the man got female tendencies, and the female done turned into the n----s lol.
