[Ronnie Lott]

Fear though....

I wasn't expecting too much from this album honestly, but I'm feeling it so far...

Fear hit home like

 

[Mr 18]

First album to blow my mind since Tpab and MBDTF

Once again, this is an album for true music lovers, that composition is crazy... and Love is the best song on it

 

[MaNu Minu]

wtf this album is a thing of beauty,

This album is dope. I'm not going to overanalyze and truthfully there's not any concrete concept. But in general, this album is purely about dualities with life & death prevalent throughout.

Interestingly enough, especially how the final track concluded, this is VERY similar to J. Cole's 4YEO. It's thematically dark, almost depressing and even though it Cole's album had a more concrete conceptual storyline. Both were speaking on dualities of their lives.

It seems to me that Kendrick is in a peculiar place in his life. I dunno if he's dealing with depression for real for it's quite evident he's unhappy coping with fame. This is a very angry album as if he's demanding relevance to his status as an MC. And these songs are his voice expressing his current mindset.

DNA and Love are amazing. I don't think this entire record is better than GKMC and TPAB, though.

 

[Guvnor]

Fear feels like the musical hiphop version of a story told like the movie Moonlight


3 generations of fear presented to us in this record

Pause

call me an isralite..

Was news to me

Chill loyalty is clearly a pop record. It don't need to be too developed or over done like Childish Gambino's Oakland.

Y'all don't say that about Drake who write about the same shyt all the time. chill with that shyt son! Pop records are usually simple and that's what this was. He made Rihanna sound good and work on a song with him which I think makes the song even doper.

Drake is a much more convincing narrator when he makes songs like Loyalty. I don't like the guy but you know he isn't hiding behind characters to convey his thoughts and emotions.

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

Duckworth might be onto something after all :loldenzel2:

I fukked with "If you're reading this it's too late", I don't necessarily hate songs just because of who's
on it.
I'm just critical of charlatans trying to pass themselves off as the "Real deal" in an Emcee sense knowing
they didn't write a single line of the lyrics or come up with a single flow or melody on their own..
