    When you play it backwards, you can hear it all but in reverse. Pretty neat.

    Don't have much to offer here yet, but we can all agree that there's a lot going on this album

    -So far I can point out the fragmented poem throughout, which is finally completed during the pac exchange at the end

    -A crucial moment for Kendrick where he broke down in a hotel room? Mentioned a few times throughout, and there's a housekeeping skit in the middle of "u"

    -the obvious catipiller/butterfly references, and then the actual poem the title is from is explained in that pac outro.

    -So there are two seperate poems used as the basis for this album?

    -references to "Lucy"

    -what's the yamsssssssss??

    oh and "alright" is one of kendricks best songs to date...:banderas::banderas::banderas:

    The whole album syncs up perfectly with the movie "The Hard Way" starring Michael J. Fox and James Woods.
