    Don't get me wrong, I love the album and have been listening nonstop. But it just doesn't seem like the full picture to me. I don't get why it's called d---. and I don't get why there are periods at the end of each song. It also seems like many of the themes and concepts on the album aren't explored as much as ones on his other albums. I'm not saying I still think a 2nd album is coming (even tho I think it's still possible) but there's a piece to the puzzle that is missing. Maybe it's just that the album is supposed to be played in reverse order or some s---, idk.

    Also there's so many other little things, like why is the "d---." partially cut off on the cd? Like it's literally not the full picture. What were all these cryptic tweets about? Why does his picture on Spotify have blue bricks? s--- might have just drove me insane lol

    d---, you're looking into this way too much.
    Get over yourself bro, there's no second album coming, d---. is just a mediocre album with some good songs

    It's not supposed to be played in reverse order, haha, its just very ordinary (bar a few songs) and poppy inspired, Section 80, GKMC and TPAB were just more fully fleshed out conceptually, d--- is more vague with its theme, maybe to fool people into thinking its "Deeper" than what it is, personally I believe Top Dawg rushed it out for the Summer release

    3-4 songs that are good to great on a 14 track album is not a good album to me.
    it's just my opinion tho.

    the 2nd album theory left people needing more. it f----- with our heads mentally and might honestly have done damage to a classic album

    On OD Kendrick said "You telling me Kush made you think on level 4? I'm on 5 you saying that I can level more?"
    There's a black screen with 8 in the God is Gangsta video
    On DNA Kendrick said "These are the Times, level numer 9, look up in the sky, 10 is on the way"
    now put your tinfoil hat on
    OD 5 (hoc)
    sxn80 6
    gkmc 7
    tpab 8 (god is gangsta)
    d---. 9 (DNA)
    ??? 10.

    ready for that L as well
