I been spinning this a lot. The only song that I really like is XXX, the first half is some of my favorite production on a Kendrick record. The second half sounds like the parts of GKCM that I liked.

Originally I liked it a little more than I do after a large amount of listens. Outside of XXX though the production is really underwhelming to me, there are a lot of intro/outro beats that are better than most of the actual songs, seems like he does that a lot.

I get so irked at the "lil johnny don't wanna go to school no mo, no more" part
I like it.

Like we seen it before and the tragic pattern. Johnny says fukk school and turns to street life afterr looking up to bad role models, kills someone and gets himself killed.


Same johnny from this song


Xxx is the continuation of the story of johnny as the family tries to come to grips with johnnies loss and kendrick can only tell them if it was him someone would be getting killed which shows that despite Kendricks positivity he says he'd avenge his loved one.

The beginning of xxx is a summary of Little Johnny
