    DNA is ? flames. Why that fire ass beat changes at the end is a mystery tho, lol.

    On loyalty right now and everything so far is amazing.

    Very interesting breakdown, only I think it'll make more sense if the album is called ? (? Damn.) If that's the case.

    Just saying...

    I'm still holding out on it being called "Well"

    The rumored title (that was very likely made up) is Nation.

    2nd verse on FEEL. Is full of subliminal shots at his peers.

    I have always had problems listening to kendrick, Perhaps I just can't catch on but to me dude never really says anything lyrically thought provoking like people make it out to be. His album concepts are grandiose but the pieces to build upon that concept(the songs) never really work to me. For example when I listen to l=Lupe I know the topic he puts forth in the song can be deciphered by the myriad entendres he spits.


    Kendrick IMO suffers from the same thing Jcole does. It's supposedly deep but its too straight forward the only thing that benefits Kendrick is he can rap his ass off and that makes it entertaining but as far as deep I just don't see it.

    PS: the mixing on this album is terrible.

    6/10

    Everything doesn't have to be in a math problem for it to be good i actually enjoy the straight forward approach

    Lupe fans want their raps in crossword puzzle format

    Brooooo lol

    I'm ? with this one. Just completed my first listen. None of the tracks I was compelled to skip through. This says alot considering I can't say the same for GKMC or TPAB on first listen.

    9th Wonder brought this ? home strong on the last track.

    Gonna listen again.

    I don't know why ? hold TPAB on such a high platform that ? just felt like it was inauthentic and a rent an activist type feel. Yes he talked about struggles and serious ? . But to me TPAB seemed forced.

    Just listened to Damn and to me it is better than TPAB by miles. Just because it seems to be more personal and introspective. When he talks about ? on the album it feels authentic and not forced.

    bumping now and up to feel album is dope so far. I need some time to really get into this though and see if it passes the test of time. I really like Feel a lot so far may have to bring that one back a few times lol.
