    6.5/10 I only kept DNA from the album. DNA is fire. I can't get into his pro black stance tracks. It's just not my style of music. I wish he would just rip beats apart and rap the way he did on DNA for a album.

    way too early to give it a rating imo

    All I can say is I like it a lot more than TPAB.

    This is my favorite kendrick album. His rapping skills are at a all time high on some of these songs. It's a dark album but a fun one at th same time. I didn't like tpab cause I don't like that sound. But tpab is a classic. Gkmc was a classic too but not something I go back to listen to. This is fun great rapping and not too heavy of an album.

    ive got mixed feelings..the album sounds great which is nothing short of what I expect from a Kendrick Lamar album. I am surprised at the direction he went with this album..I wasn't expecting so many radio friendly songs or the lack of a story or main cohesive theme like GKMC and TPAB (unless im missing the theme of this album...ive only given it a couple of listens)

    I love these songs automatically :
    LOYALTY
    DNA
    LUST
    LOVE (Zacari feat is GOAT ...great combination imo)
    HUMBLE grew on me...i f---s with it
    ELEMENT

    Im not one to rate an album because i personally feel like its all subjective to what you like in music. But If i did give it a rating out of 10 it wouldnt be anything less than a 7.5 or 8......overall its exactly what fans of GKMC were wanting from Kendrick so its nice that he proved he can deliver not just what he is capable of but also what his fans desire from him. Kendrick is truly a great artist.



    R.I.P Vitaqua, Volt Papii & Pronx :sadpepe: true Kendrick fans forreal :emoji_blue_heart::emoji_heart:
