First time I heard U I was like "oh f---..such sad, emotion oh my..feelings" as he tears himself apart
then the song ends and leaves me like

That's when suddenly…..
the next song starts and Kendrick bursts out with All my life I has to fight, n-----!
then that glorious hook starts:

n-----, we gon' be alright
n-----, we gon' be alright
We gon' be alright
Do you hear me, do you feel me? We gon' be alright
n-----, we gon' be alright
Huh? We gon' be alright
n-----, we gon' be alright
Do you hear me, do you feel me? We gon' be alright

The way that happens is awesome, it just feels so right.. the emotion from U to Alright is unreal.
YOU MIGHT FEEL DOWN MY n----- BUT YOU FINNA GET BACK UP, YOU GON BE ALRIGHT MY n-----

After the emotion that was U, to slide into Alright so effortlessly.. it's just crazy good.
Anywhere else on the album and Alright would not be as GOAT as it is.

It has THE perfect placement after THE perfect song.. it's just so f---ing great.

It got me thinking.. what other albums by other artists have a GOAT transition between two songs like this?
Which 2 songs when played back to back has such a good sound together?

I've been looking though my playlists and I really can't find something comparable or worth mentioning.
