Albums Kendrick Lamar - DAMN. (Discussion Thread)

[Majestic]

Explain
.....is this a concept album too?

I don't get the intro

Yes, I believe so. My take on DAMN. is that Kendrick dies on the album and talks about pride, love while on his way to heaven to meet and join God. On his next album God gives him another chance in life hence the name TOC.

Fear may go down as one of the greatest hip hop songs ever

content+beat+flow

 

[GrindMode]

aight i got it

 

[Youseenmywork]

I'm talkin' fear, fear of losin' creativity
I'm talkin' fear, fear of missin' out on you and me
I'm talkin' fear, Fear of losin' Loyalty from Pride
'Cause my DNA won't let me involve in the light of God
I'm talkin' fear, fear that my Humbleness is gone
I'm talkin' fear, fear that Love ain't livin' here no more
I'm talkin' fear, fear that it's wickedness or weakness
Fear, whatever it is, both is distinctive
Fear, what happens on Earth stays on Earth
And I can't take these feelings with me so hopefully they disperse
Within fourteen tracks, carried out over wax
Searchin' for resolutions until somebody get back
Fear, what happens on earth stays on earth
And I can't take these feelings with me so hopefully they disperse
Within fourteen tracks, carried out over wax
Wonderin' if I'm livin' through fear or livin' through rap

This why I have to sit with the album...

heavy reaching lol

The fact that guys like Yachty and Uzi Vert are considered among the most significant rappers in the game today makes me almost want to give up on the genre

 

[GrindMode]

BLOOD intro too prolific

 

[Middle Finga U]

This might just be the first version

This shyt makes so much sense. That tweet from Sounwave was on some Matrix shyt. The "What if I told you" part.

The levels to this shyt

 

[KingsnBucs1987]

On Element, did he try to channel Juvenile past the halfway point of the song for a lil bit

 

[The Intergalactic Koala]

This might just be the first version

Breh

 

[Freddie.Cane]

Does the Alchemist track have mad beat switches?

This is why I say that hip hop has done more damage to young African Americans than racism in recent years- FEAR
