I just heard (understood) the album

Brilliant.

Care to elaborate....

I have to listen some more, its tough to put a finger on...I didn't read ? in this thread either before nor much after listening, but what I got from first play through it's like, ok the album wasn't really done for ? "entertainment". Yet In some ways it is though. But then he also presume the listener is privy to a lot of the spiritual substance he kicking. Then there is heavy but clever use of irony the average person might not pick up on ( it's in the song titles, the tones used, sometimes the melody, other times in the lyrics, and in some instance all these contrasts combined together) but all that extra ? aside the music still sound pretty cool and different enough to keep the ear's interest.

Yea bro. I guess it was the beginning that made me skip that track idk but I jam it all the time now.

I'm glad Kendrick listened to me and took it back to the hood because this album may have saved him from being ignored because the hood wasn't feeling the jazz/spoken word ? . This album is bangin..............

It's crazy to see ppl not liking the production. Pure musicianship going on here. Dudes in the studio with saxophones, trumpets, bass guitars, pianos, guitars, real drums, & Rhodes. I feel like my Jazz loving Dad would appreciate this body of work. Guess it's a style thing.

This is exactly why some people may not like the album.

For some people, there is too much jazz & spoken word in the album. It's missing a couple songs that are straight hood.......'Money Trees' and "swimming Pools' for example.

GKMC >>>> DAMN >>>> TPAB

I been playing Damn everyday since it came out. I love it.

With that said, I think TPAB is better. Never stopped listening to it.

Congrats

And keep in mind this had NO hype and no commercial sounding music. This was a conscious album. Now I don't want to hear anything about needing to rap a certain way to sell records.

And I think it's time we start seeing Kendrick as a major force in today's music. Not just for hip-hop but for music as a whole. Not even a month and he platinum what more can he say man what more must he prove ? Kendrick surpassed expectations.

You bugging yes it did

What's wrong with "jazz" and "spoken word" in HipHop music like jazz wasn't a forebearer with the sampling?




Y'all need to chill with the labels...

FEEL is my ?
