Maybe I wasn't there :wow: Pride the most slept on track on here.

Hell-raising, wheel-chasing, new worldy possessions
Flesh-making, spirit-breaking, which one would you lessen?
The better part, the human heart
You love 'em or dissect 'em
Happiness or flashiness? How do you serve the question?
See, in the perfect world, I would be perfect, world
I don't trust people enough beyond they surface, world
I don't love people enough to put my faith in men
I put my faith in these lyrics, hoping I make amend
I understand I ain't perfect
I probably won't come around
This time, I might put you down
Last time, I ain't give a fukk, I still feel the same now
My feelings might go numb, you're dealing with cold thumb
I'm willing to give up a leg and arm and show empathy from
Pity parties and functions and you and yours
A perfect world, you probably live another 24
I can't fake humble just 'cause your ass is insecure
I can't fake humble just 'cause your ass is insecure :hubie:

Love the soulful beat and hook too

Love this album. I think it's his most cohesive and flows together really well. Album has good variety so replay value is high vs TPAB which I thought was good but he tried to do/fit in too much on that album. It wasn't as seamless as DAMN.

Also, just to nitpick I think Fear should have been the last track. It just seems like the perfect way to end it.

I think if Kendrick dropped this following GKMC he would be on an even higher level right now. Commercially it's very good.

Been thinking the same thing about FEAR. That last verse was pretty poignant. Especially like the way he threw in the titled tracks in there.

Been on rotation, I'm at the point where I know most of the words I just rock with the album.

Replay value crazy and KDots delivery is versatile he can make a range of songs.

As I'm listening to it...
I can see "Love" being a radio hit single.

I haven't been the biggest Kendrick fan over the years, but this is my favorite project of his. I don't like any of the singy, slow, Drake type songs on this: LUST, LOYALTY, GOD, PRIDE. YAH & LOVE are OK.

DNA (particularly the first part), ELEMENT, FEEL, HUMBLE and FEAR are just :lawd:
