Albums Kendrick Lamar - DAMN. (Discussion Thread)

[mikishere]

after about 4 listens and the whip test...album is definitely solid but its also his weakest... which isnt a problem when you have a catalog like kendricks (GKMC > TPAB > This)

solid 4/5 album... only album better this year ATM is ross rather you than me

standouts: Fear, DNA, Love, Duckworth, Loyalty

I'm seeing and hearing universal praise everywhere else.

They did the same with TPAB but I guess we know how that went. Remember all of hip hop tweeting & dikk riding it?

Got NO airplay off the NET & no tour despite the universal praise. Wonder why?

DAMN will suffer the same fate

I like how the last 3 tittles of the album spell out "Fear God Duckworth" . Nice touch.

 

[tweezy]

Damn this shyt grew on me like crazy, wtf this is an impressive experience

 

[Poitier]

Bruh I know Verbose means too wordy essentially. However they are not fukking too wordy is my point.

Verbose means USING TOO MANY WORDS
Phonetics and complexity of a word literally have nothing to do with it

Nas uses big words but is never verbose. Lupe uses big words but is never verbose. TI uses big words but is never verbose.

You Kendrick fans literally are the epitome of smart-dumb. shyt is incredible.

He's the goat

Where the fukk is NATION.


Morrrrrrr

Kendrick talking about slapping people when he's 5'4

and people got on drake for talking tough

Kendrick grew up in rough conditions and he ain't lie about his upbringing unlike others. Also why is drake being mentioned on a kendrick album thread? Take that to the more life thread and go away.

 

[tweezy]

If you think it won't have any airplay then you crazy lmao

humble debuted at #2 because it is being played everywhere

and some radio are already played THE ENTIRE PROJECT FRONT TO BACK

 

[Hammer]

alright wasn't betting bumped everywhere?. Tpab is one of the most well put together CD's in years Idk why TPAB gets people in their feelings so much

This about to be the most bumped Kendrick CD mainstream wise. Loyalty probably gonna be the next single

 

[tweezy]

Honestly, after 7 listens, this is by far his best album

Damn: 5/5

Tpab: 5/5
GK%C= 4.5/5
s80: 4/5

TPAB is a universal classic. fukk the media and press, it's praised by decorated musicians across all genres as one of the greatest albums of all time.

Doesn't even make sense to entertain that.

If it was only the media an argument could be made. But too many scholars, professors, musicians etc. have raved about that album.

It got Prince's eye man.

Great post.

Prince, Bowie, Stevie, George Clinton and various musicians who love and live
within and outside of Hip-Hop like Glasper or Terrace martin all see the greatness
that comes from this guy and not just THIS GUY but those AROUND HIM.

Dude is surrounded by a stellar team, has a great fukking ear and clearly isn't
on some basic ass "Running from the weed like it farted" shyt.

You must not know the definition of introspection......also he is too verbose as a storyteller

I guess Nas is "Too verbose" or Rakim is "Too verbose" or a myriad of Hip-Hop's fantastic storytellers and song writers
are simply "Too verbose".

The chief fukking currency for a rapper are WORDS! Trying to discount their usage on a Hip-Hop forum then going on about
"Real Rap" is some clownery breh.

nikka what did I write to you, I said "Verbose essentially means too wordy".

They are not too wordy, and if you are finding it to be that way maybe you are challenged.

I didn't say the words were difficult to understand because they are not but he does not use too many words and if you think he is maybe you are simple.

This album is amazing and I've never ever been a Kendrick fan or really ever liked any of his music. It's great and dare I say a classic. This is the best Hip Hop album to come out in al long time. It transcends the genre. fukking incredible 5/5
