    lowkey one of my favorite songs off of section.80. Maybe more in a guilty pleasure sort of way than anything else, but I think the song is great, and gets underrated often

    :wow:

    There are so many great tracks on Section.80 that this does get overlooked.

    That outro too. And the 'twist' at the end (if you could call it that).

    this is like a top 3 worst song on the album for me.

    but what does that even mean on a 9/10 album? :kobe:

    that youtube comment section is atrocious

    "For me, the music IS the high. All I needed was the piano to feel this one."

    Outro could be "cringeworthy" or "corny" or whatver, if I was insecure enough to actually feel awkward by someone preaching what they believe in (in this case that being abstaining from alcohol)

    I only bring this up because I know that's the typical complaints against this/that outro (which sounds great btw, regardless of what he's saying)

    The entire song just has a great aesthetic

    See, on one hand, f--- YouTube comments in general, but on the other, I remember feeling the exact way when listening to this track

    It just has that stoner music vibe, that airy, hazy essence too it

    Makes me feel pretty great tbh

    I never understood the hate for this song. I can understand if it's not in somebody's top 5 off Section .80, but to call it a bad song???? It was one of the first Kendrick songs I heard and liked.

    One of my favourites off Section.80. Gets left off a lot of peoples favourite Kendrick tracks. It's a really unappreciated, underrated song.

    Great song IMO, but the hook is a little odd
