Albums Kendrick Lamar - DAMN. (Discussion Thread)

[Bobby Lashleys eyebrows]

Gotta give it the whip, shower and gym test to give my full evaluation. It's definitely different from his last 5 projects.

 

[Majestic]

Kendrick embodies greatness

 

[AkaDemiK]

Let's get it

Gimmick or not, he's doing the work and hooking the forum up. Sit your ass down buddy

"Hooking the forum up". Dude lied about being black and copped pleas for Darren Wilson directly after he killed Mike Brown.

You and him can get the fukk outta here.

I told The Booth that HL was naive as fukk and keeping him in the green and nobody believed me....and here we are.

Fred.

DNA

 

[Roaden Polynice]

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.

...what?

I would be forever in your gratitude if someone were to Pass dat Mustard my way

 

[TEKBEATZ]

Its here

 

[GoldenGlove]

Only let down off first couple listens is no Free Smoke really. Did the same beef pump faking as J Cole with Heart

Really easy listen. Gonna have it on repeat tomorrow and give a proper verdict of it relative to his others

One thing is for sure. Kendrick still has yet to disappoint me

This album rollout was very similar to what we saw J. Cole did... VERY similar

 

[Adam3000]

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

For reference, these are my Kenrick ratings:

S80: 8/10
GKMC: 9.5 or 10/10
TPAB: 8.5/10
Unt. Unm.: 9/10

So I'm a big Kendrick Fan, but not a stan. I could honestly see myself bumping this up to a 9/10 or dropping it to an 8/10. It could go either way. Need more spins.

 

[Kaypain]

One things for sure, there's plenty of quotables on here

@GoldenGlove wat you think?

 

[nightpupil]

have fukked up Dna and talk about dna on a song breh.lol

 

[S.W.A.G.]

Still on my first listen. On humble now.

No wack tracks for me so far.

Maybe it's me but this album feels like the follow up to section 80.

Like a mixture of that and his mixtape sounds - hes more comfortable here as a rapper than his other albums, less forced to stick to a narrative. The sound is more polished than S80 but has those organic vibes, some amazing production here and great mixture of sounds..

This U2 song is absolutely amazing

 

[Waterproof]

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

Yeah it is, out here on the West we had those Pyschdelic Soul/Funk/Rock groups in the 70's

 

[Rigamortus]

Wtf it's out for real this time????
