Albums Kendrick Lamar - DAMN. (Discussion Thread)

[Cool Dr. Money]

DNA video was dope

 

[SalamiAttack]

 

[Piff Perkins]

Spoiler

Is this cultural appropriation though?

You can't tell me this kind of soul comes from Australian cacs who's Sunday dinners consist of shrimp on the barbie

Music don't belong to anyone. They're dope as fukk. Australia actually has a soul/r&b scene and they're one of the bands. It's interesting how other countries will discover and then imitate American genres years/decades after the fact, as if they're on a cultural delay.

sorta like how the UK bit hip hop and is now wearing attire New York popularized in the 80s. Adidas huh

This album is dope as fukk. I dont think i have played an album like i been playing this since late registration. Finally somebody who knows how to use rihanna perfectly.. the only other person was Wale. I hate when rappers get Rihanna feature and think it gotta be some classic masterpiece song. Rihanna works best when used simple.

Classic video. Kung fu kenny

 

[Dwolf]

u trippin

kendrick went the fukk in on the second half


Watchin' all the snakes, curvin' all the fakes
Phone never on, I don't conversate
I don't compromise, I just penetrate
Sex, money, murder—these are the breaks

Duckworth ?

 

[CashmereThoughts]

Seems like an age thing

Most over 30 think the album is blah under 30 act like it's a life altering music changing album

my entire peer group is 30-33 and all of them are praising the album. my older couisins in the 40s are loving the album hard

 

[CashmereThoughts]

Kendrick is a bit overrated as a lyricist

i think there more than a few moments on Damn where he dispelled any questions about his lyricism. I already considered him a strong lyricist but he Bumped up a notch in my book with this album

 

[MostHatedBox]

Some of the best story telling I've heard in a while on Duckworth

If he rapped like he did on Fear and Duckworth consistently, I could get the hype

 

[TELL ME YA CHEESIN FAM?]

Some of you are complaining just to complain

nikka been solidified his position as a lyricist..he doesn't have to be lyrical all the time to make great songs

All his biggest hits ain't some super lyrical shyt

And yeah "Yah" and "Loyalty" are gonna be big

He's in his own lane...don't ever compare him to Drake,J Cole,Sean,Q,bum ass Absoul or any other rapper his age

Maybe so...almost like when the old heads at the time shytted on Nas and his fans for thinking he was the second coming of Rakim.
