    Well d---...i know for sure a lot of s--- went over my head not even gonna deny that but still don't really know what to think about it musically

    definitely way outside the box and gota give him credit for that but i also feel theres just not enough to catch on to

    like too many songs where the beats are constantly changing, you can't catch a rhythm

    i guess thats part of the point its meant to kind of make you feel uncomfortable, like i say its definitely innovative but at the same time I'm also laying out the problem that lies with that approach to me

    but lets be honest with this album i can't really see cole meshing with a sound like this

    if this is the space kendrick is in right now

    ALSO I HAVE A QUESTION:

    what do you think is a cooler twist, the end of 4YEO or this ?

    Did a full listen just a moment ago and that last track makes me think the album is from is pops perspective. Similar how the concept of 4YEO only goes.
    Also tomorrow is the 4YEO doc.. "I hope you understand"... What if sunday they drop outta the sky the collab tape

    Yea, also they were speculating about Cole dropping another album the same way... A man can dream can he :lebcry:

    Or maybe there is no collab tape at all, and these two albums is the "collab"

    foreal tho i thought there was some merits to the album when i did my first listen last night but now I'm going through the tracks individually and its really not great at all

    still not denying theres stuff going over my head conceptually but musically its just not there

    Ok so after one quick listen this is great, me like. The production and the bounce wow.

    Only songs im not feelin is YAH, and FEAR was alittle bit to long.

    Humble is this album Backseat freestyle, just a fun track to listen to.

    Element, Lust, Feel, God, Pride, ---, Love and God. Love them all after first listen.

    I'm sorry y'all but foreal, i wish i could say i was trolling cause i wanna like it

    but theres couple tracks in the first 10 i thought i loved first listen but they really not even all that

    namely Yah and pride

    lust and feel are the only ones that I'm still feeling really

    the rest in the first ten i didn't love from the start and that didn't change - Dna, element, loyalty, and love are all VERY MEH

    Blood is a cool intro tho i like that, and humble is still dope ...

    havent gotten back into the last four yet tho --- - Duckworth yet tho

    if i remember right i liked all those hope that doesn't change also

    the concept of the blind lady being lady justice is dope as h---

    but if we being real he doesn't even explore that concept any further in the album

    and btw i hate that weird singing at the start of almost every song ... who is that?

    and why the h--- did kendrick choose that voice to be so prominent throughout the album

    theres so many voices that could sing that s--- much better and make a better vibe for the whole album

    i understand the heart part 4 now ... why theres a cool a--- vibe to open the song, then a freaking amazing beat that should have been an entire song that lasts like 10 seconds, then some weird sporadic drums that never catch a rhythm and don't let you catch a vibe

    that is this whole album in a nutshell for me

    --- has such a dope vibe to start the song but it only lasts one minute

    jonny dont wanna go to school no more
