    It's a fantastic b-----r but it seems to be too detached from the rest of the album.

    At first sight it connects with the main theme but not everything works perfectly.

    It's grown on me tremendously but in the context of the album it's certainly the weak link.

    my thoughts exactly.
    i though it was great as a single but i kinda feel like it doesnt fit in well..

    maybe its cause im blown away by pride. before it kicks in :banderas:

    Kendrick keeps stressing throughout the album that nobodys praying for him and not to pray for him:kanye:

    i think it's positioning in the tracklisting makes it sound a bit out of place but its a good song, i like it

    I didn't listen to Humble before the album to keep my self spoiler-free and I think Loyalty and Humble are the weakest songs on the thing

    Shows how good Kendrick is rn. The biggest song of the year ended up being the worst song on his album. I like Humble a lot, but I overplayed it before d--- Was release so now i find my self skipping it.
