Album Review Kendrick Lamar – DAMN.

The first song on Untitled Unmastered is really a preview of this album's concept. It's eerie how much planning this dude puts into his music...

 

[Zero]

They got some dope Australian bands breh Tame Impala's Current album

I discovered them late last year

 

[ISO]

Maybe not two, but it's better than any Mobb deep album not named the infamous

Damn is better than Hell On Earth? It's better than Murda Muzik?

Kendrick stans

I was trolling. Not enough time has passed for me to say that

But You nikkas be serious when y'all say Take Care is a classic though which is a far more blasphemous statement.

 

[HiiiPower]

Metacritic holds zero weight

Which is basically what I'm getting at.

You should do this professionally. Also, does your review get submitted to metacritic?

Lol, Take Care being a classic is not blasphemous at all only Kendrick album that resonated near that level is good kid maad city. Kendrick got introduced to the mainstream through Take Care. Stop being a sheep nikka.

Only and corny elitist hate on Take Care. It is a memorable, seminal release for its era that is still selling.

It's more of a hybrid album. And a chore to sit through. But I'm certified triple

hey man I am doing it professionally, shout outs to @LinusCaldwell

No metacritic. Even if it was it would be weighed very low, vs a bigger review in like the NY Times for instance. That's how metacritic gets their 90s. The bigger reviews are weighed higher.

Neither Flabby nor A corny elitist

Trying to figure out when Take Care became this underappreciated gem that people skipped over. It's his best work, but not a classic album by any means. There's no classic album that doesn't have universal acclaim ALONG with resonating with a group of people. Take Care doesn't have the former. And we can go on critics for all we want, and I do at times. But we all for the most part agree on the classics.

Resonating with a generation of people doesn't much because To The Extreme did the same thing, there's a group of people who know that album front and back and no one in their right mind is calling that a classic.

Being a sheep would be calling an album that went double platinum with multiple hits an automatic classic.

The Weeknd released classics that year though

Im not gonna act like metacritic is the be all and end all that defines an albums quality and status like some people...but I'm kinda amazed this album has 97 off of 20 reviews atm, technically that makes this the highest rated rap album beating TPAB, this albums fukking dope but it ain't that incredible lol.

Although tbf TPAB has twice as many reviews...GKMC is still better than both imo

Tpab is superior to damn.

 

[MostHatedBox]

Damn this album is moving more units than I expected

 

[Majestic]

Damn this album is moving more units than I expected

If you let the clowns say it, TPAB was alienated his fans!!!! His career is over due to that black racist empowerment album!!! Its a fake deep album and it sucks!!!! There are no bangers on this, no ones going to fukk with this!!!



TPAB /UU was the greatest thing Kendrick done in his career after GKMC. Kendrick runs this rap shyt.

I read the NYT review. I don't know Jon Carmanica and I don't see anything that leads me to think his opinion is worthwhile. Your review should hold more weight.
