Element makes my hips go side to side.

I also lifted it up fast then let it drop slowly and then made it rotate a little then pushed it back

 

[THE 101]

That RZA style loop in Element is

"I feel like the whole world want me to pray for 'em
But who the fukk prayin' for me?"

Real as fukk

 

[Asiatic Black Hebrew]

"He figured he'd get on nikkas good sides...free chicken!
Anytime Anthony posted in line, two extra biscuits!"

 

[666 ReVeNGe 666]

"See, in a perfect world, I'll choose faith over riches
I'll choose work over bytches, I'll make schools out of prison
I'll take all the religions and put 'em all in one service
Just to tell 'em we ain't shyt, but He's been perfect, world"



That hook

"It wasn't all to share, but there
In another life, I surely was there
It wasn't all to share, but there
I care, I care"




PRIDE is my favorite song.

 

[Arithmetic]

This is how it's done

 

[666 ReVeNGe 666]

Fillin' the void of bein' employed with ballin'
Streets is talkin', fill in the blanks with coffins
Fill up the banks with dollars
Fill up the graves with fathers
Fill up the babies with bullshyt
Internet blogs and pulpit, fill 'em with gossip
I feel like this gotta be the feelin' what 'Pac was
The feelin' of an apocalypse happenin'
But nothin' is awkward, the feelin' won't prosper
The feelin' is toxic, I feel like I'm boxin' demons
Monsters, false prophets schemin'
Sponsors, industry promises

 

[Don'tCallMeLuckyB]

Don't judge me

My mama caught me with a strap

Don't judge me

I was young, fukking all the rats

Don't judge me

Aiming at your head for a stack

Don't judge me, don't judge me

Now my home got a valley peak

 

[We Major]

I always get colours in my head when listening to an album and they relate to the album cover However on this all I get is black and dark dark red

 

[MostHatedBox]

This album is a gem brehs no skips

Even the intro is dope on some Kill Bill shyt. Then it rewinds right back at the end almost forcing you to bump the whole thing again

I retagged love off the album and replaced it with the heart 4 on my version.

It's perfect now since heart 4 briefly uses the beat on fear and its got 3 beat transitions.

OD audio crack.

I suggest u do the same.

The Album Is Fire!! Be Humble? Legendary

 

[Abstract83]

TPAB was iffy to me at first but that gradually did grow on me though and now i think its classic. I can get it not being considered classic in hardcore rap circles and see that more for GKMC but overall classic in terms of being "bigger than one genre"

But this album here? I can tell its never gonna grow on me. It has no standout tracks unlike TPAB. You have posters in here THEMSELVES who admit there are no standout tracks on this album but still say its great or classic worthy. I mean that makes absolutely no sense

I mean "DNA" is real dope but there are no standout tracks. One guy said they loved "Fear" and then everyone ran with that when there are no quotables anybody can mention like with "Sing About Me...Dying of Thirst" "Mortal Man" or "Hiipower" .

Its not a good look on a rap album when the best song are the more mainstream songs like with "Humble" or "Loyalty" with Rihanna. That is a terrible look on a rap album.

On REAL CLASSIC albums you don't see "Mo Money Mo Problems" or "Hypnotize as the best song on LAD or "California Love" as the best song on AEOM. Even though the remix without Dre was on the album even if the original was on the album it wouldn't be the best song.

What kind of true classic rap album has mainstream songs as the best song on it? Coli please answer me

Kendrick needs to watch that Crank Lucas video put up the other day because it is a true characterization of him. I mean it was all in jokes and Crank even said he is a Kendrick fan but he is going over the top now. Just straight up rap It was cool with TPAB and i love that album now but its going overboard. There isn't even a theme to this record its all over the place. Just because every song feels dark doesn't mean that its a consistent theme if there is barely a message.

i hope dudes aint gonna keep saying the theme is death.

The hype ll die down in a week or two. Then they'll see how lackluster this album is. No cohesiveness at all. Just a bunch of dumbed down songs. His last 3 albums is waaay better that this shyt. TPAB is his masterpiece

 

[Abstract83]

Really? Nothing about this sounds like a mixtape to me

Im use to kendrick having an overall theme to his projects. I guess TPAB set the bar so high for me. The songs just didn't flow together. They just felt like outtakes honestly. That Song with Rihanna is cringe worthy. YEH soounds lazy as fukk. Love Humble and Element are his "let me reach the masses this time around records" I cant stand them.
