I Am A God
I'm still listening but this is beautiful music.....
Man.....Has a G-Funk/Neo Soul/Jazzy feel......This is Hip Hop right here. The album started off so funky.....
I have no idea how the sound of hip hop only became Trap Beats or soul samples.
Hip Hop is taking from any and every sound and making it into your own.

yeah but i want a studio version.
Whoever said the album picks up later on I agree with that, track 12-16 aren't awful.
And thought I'm not feeling the album, he is a level above Drake, it's not even comparable, at least Kendrick tries to be an artist, and can rap at least, and sometimes has some decent lyrics in spurts, which is more than Drake does, Kendrick touches on subjects at times, Drake is soulless drone music. So if that is Kendrick's peers/competition then he's well ahead, but personally I always liked to judge an artist at elite level, before claiming they are great.
Not really feeling it, but at least it has a song like Complexion in the mainstream which I'm happy about, and helped a dope sister out too. And a positive good vibe to it, I can appreciate that and give props to that. That's my favourite song from the album, by some way really, probably the only song I'll revisit, but my point is an artist like Drake just wouldn't do that cause of how pathetic and shallow he is, so would prefer Kendrick over Drake any day or some of these other wack Young Thug etc type artists. So I hope it does better than all of them for that reason alone.

We Are Penn State
A different, different listen than we're used to in hip-hop
Gonna give several more thorough listens before I drop an opinion.

almost 100K in 1 hour on iTunes
they say 1 million first week is possible
where are you getting this info?
It's a shame Kendrick didn't blow up before he could actually meet MJ/Pac. I'm sure they would approve

Kendrick's sequencing of his tracks is second to none, shyt always tells a story that keeps you engaged and makes the album that much more 
That Pac interview made it seem like he still alive
