I like it but it's one of my least favorite tracks. I wish he had rapped or sung more conventionally on it. Chorus is dope tho.

You can tell it's super popular on the tour tho, and I get it. That guitar riff is perfect for "wave your hand back and forth with a light/phone in your hand" type live moments lol. All the videos of it live are pretty dope.

Crazy how nearly every track on the album is getting performed live, and getting a good reaction. I know shyt like Humble, DNA, Element, etc would knock live but I've seen videos of Lust and the crowd going crazy
:whew:

Kendrick Lamar Tells Us Why He Loves Playing DAMN. In Reverse

One of the most popular DAMN. hypotheses is that the album can be played in reverse order. Kendrick confirmed that long-held theory, explaining why he likes elements of that version better than the original.

“I think like a week after the album came out, [fans] realized you can play the album backwards,” he told MTV News correspondent Gaby Wilson. “It plays as a full story and even a better rhythm. It’s one of my favorite rhythms and tempos within the album. It’s something that we definitely premeditate while we’re in the studio.”

When you listen to DAMN. in reverse order, the album takes on a completely different sonic arc. But, as Kendrick explained, it’s not so much the actual narrative that changes.

“I don’t think the story necessarily changes, I think the feel changes,” he said. “The initial vibe listening from the top all the way to the bottom is ... this aggression and this attitude. You know, ‘DNA,’ and exposing who I really am. You listen from the back end, and it’s almost the duality and the contrast of the intricate Kendrick Lamar. Both of these pieces are who I am.”

I talked about this in the tetsuo and youth thread. Kendrick can't hide his fandom of Lupe-san.

We all know that tetsuo and youth tells multiple stories from front to back. Now Kendrick does it. Lupe has been showing off his karate skills ON IG for the last 3 years and now all of a sudden Kendrick wants to call himself Kung Fu Kenny :stopitslime:
