    Youtube right now is full of stans flooding the comment section of Kendricks music. It is truly awful.

    Personally the topics are fine, I do believe he has some forced lines or moments of social commentary, but other than that I dont see it as too woke or anything

    The people who are saying Kendrick is trying to push some agenda didn't even listen to the album. They saw some headline on reddit about Kendrick making a transgender song and listened to just that 1 song.

    I came into album with no expectations and listened to every song. You just listened to the 1 song that was "political". Which one of us is trying to promote an agenda here? lol

    I definitely get some Revival vibes, and that’s a good thing. Em definitely gave this his stamp of approval when Kenny went to Detroit.

    If you don't like the music you don't like the music that's completely fair, I didn't mean that everyone who didn't like the album felt that way (expanded on it a few posts later). Like I said I completely understand why it's not for everyone and I have issues with it myself.

    I do recommend giving it another listen or two however cuz some songs I thought were trash first listen grew on me.

    Now that I've argued with people who hate the album time to argue with the people who like it by saying it's not as good as Whole Lotta Red and no one has made a better rap album since WLR dropped. King Carti :emoji_triumph:

    The main reason I don't like the songs I mentioned is that in the process of making an interesting / deep song, he kinda forgot to make it an enjoyable one. You know what I mean ?

    I disagree because I enjoy it but I understand what you mean. Cuz I think the album is very purposeful in crafting a cohesive sound and aesthetic, but it's not a sound made for radio or playlists for the most part. It's not super accessible like d--- or GKMC and you're not gonna like the album if you're not on board with the aesthetic. But again that's just personal taste.

    The album has some kinda musical/theatre vibes, a lot of piano, strings, and singing, minimalistic production... it def. has some beautiful moments but still its one of the most bland produced projects he has ever released.
