Honest take.....Lets first give props to TDE Engineer Ali he's already one of the Industry best at 24 he mixed the shyt out of this album, and TDE in house producers they with Kendrick were on the same page the album sequence and flow is flawless. This album is Psychedelic Soul, Blues, Atliens inspired, West Coast Gangsta Rap, a touch of trap and smooth jazz, with that Mood Club music, and boom bap blended perfectly the shyt don't sound forced, It's still Kendrick Lamar.

This album is going to be critically acclaimed and Kendrick highest selling album. I like this more than GKMC and Section 80 already, Kendrick did it again always elevating and bringing something new, he got his forth ring

Agreed - very surprised by the psychedelic influence here, but that is a west coast staple, but didn't expect it... need to finish listening

Just finished

First things first....its not on GKMC level. Just stop, stans. The polish, cohesiveness, and songwriting on that album make it one of the best rap albums ever.

I didn't latch onto TPAB like some did because it was a chore in spots, so I can't really compare Damn to it.

On its own merits, DAMN is a really good album. It is much more 'basic' sounding than his other work but thats not necessaily a diss. I liked every song on it, even though none of them clearly leaped out at me as a clear standout on first listen.

Even though I listened to it on audiophile headphones, I felt like I was doing it a disservice by not letting it breathe a bit on open speakers. I will give it a few spins in the car this weekend and get a better feel for it.

First listen 8.5/10



thank you for a very honest review. Its refreshing. i hate kendrick stans because they over hype everything to the moon lol. i can't wait to listen to the album

Will you shut the fukk up already? You said you were on track 1 20 minutes ago and now you're saying it's his best album off first listen.


The album is 54 minutes long and you started listening to it fukking 20 minutes before you posted this.


Talking about fukking replay value :mjlol: an album you haven't even listened to it fully.


You're a fukking clown.
nikkas in here giving whole ass reviews bringing up TPAB and GKMC like the album hasn't even been out two hours yet. :dead:
