Albums Kendrick Lamar - DAMN. (Discussion Thread)

[Nuuko]

 

[THE 101]

The levels of rapping on DNA don't even make sense

Breh fukking cracked the code

 

[FreedS[ohh]lave]

GKMC did have a few radio tracks, but they were more apart of a theme album vs DAMN being more of Kendrick making stand-alone jams

Loyalty > Poetic Justice if u ask me

Nah poetic justice and swimming pools are way more catchy then anything on damn

I'd be shocked if he has a huge hit with any of these songs

 

[reserved_one]

This album is for listeners who didn't have the patience to digest TPAB and wanted something "dumbed down". Kendrick is returning to a simpler style he displayed early in his career but with majority of the songs being more melodic. I love TPAB to death but how far outside the hip hop realm could he possibly gone? I felt if he dropped another TPAB it would had alienated more listeners and fell short. Untitled Unmastered was TPAB pt.2 anyways.

But yeah I can see this easily becoming Kendrick's most accessible album since GKMC.

Been known he's one of the best ever.

HELL no

Outside the sample, it's a boring song to me but still not bad..Loyalty is going to ring off in clubs more tho

FEEL touch a nikkas soul with all the shyt been on my mind and the stuff I've been going threw

A carbon copy of what? It's a dope song, it's the song that made the album take so long for me to listen to in full.

And miss me with some "copy" of some Drake song when he's fukking Frankenstien....

Please

nikkas mad they like a song they would otherwise hate if the rapper was different

Duckworth might be onto something after all :loldenzel2:

is this so polarizing on The Coli??? I'm seeing and hearing universal praise everywhere else.

I don't understand what some of you are saying. Someone really called "Love" the worst Kendrick Lamar song? The fukk? DNA and XXX corny? Production is lacking? Damn I just don't know why there's such a gap in these comments. I'll bet the reviewers give this heavily positive reviews.

Some dudes just love to go against the grain

Everybody loves it so I must shyt on it..

TPAB
GKMC
DAMN

in that order and Kendrick is garbage tier

Sorry but about 7 tracks in and this album bores me. Not feeling the beats and it makes him seem uninspired rhyne wise. I'm expecting him to put out something new like a different sound but he's just doing the same dated shyt that already sounds played out. That trap sound is dated. The only good song that I liked is DNA.

Word! and there's one track that sounds like something Andre3k trashed in studio session while making A Love Below
