    Definitely one of the best songs for me.

    And I really f---s with his singing, especially during “not about who’s right who’s wrong” through “blink twice again I’m gone”

    I just realized this album is horrible not because its horrible. Because disc 2 is the longest stretch of bad songs i ever encountered

    disc 1 is actually decent

    Your last sentence hits the nail on the head.

    Like, if Pusha makes his 400th song about coke, one could say its incredible he can still do that and make a good record. Or you could say why the h--- can't he think of something else. Its just how you see it. Thats why I said there is no such thing as 100% objectively rating music (or art in general) since there is always taste/bias involved.

    Now whether its kendrick, or eminem, kanye there is always a camp that hates it (even before its out) and that call it a classic. There seems to be no in between.

    Someone called me a 'middle man' once, which was meant as some sort of insult lol. I have no problem giving my opinion, but its simply not as black and white to me with most things. Take this album, I've been bumping 6/7 songs of it all day. And since I'm a song listener more than album, I'm happy with it. But as a whole album its just okay to me because I would skip some songs.

    Father Time, N95, Mr Morale, Savior (minus the awful hook), Count Me Out & Rich Spirit are in rotation!

    Imagine not liking this album because you can’t handle how complex and dense it is. It’s incredible.

    100% it is.
    If only the rest of the album was like that, United In Grief and Father Time. Couple of others.
    This album has great moments, like the song you mentioned, but it’s totally marred by other songs that literally sound akin to YouTube rappers songs.

    I mean, a lot of people love N95, but to me, it sounds like a fruity loops beat from 2010. Silent Hill, Rich Spirit also.

    Some of this album sounds so poor and b--- average for a Kendrick album it makes me go ‘WTF’. Others make me go ‘WTF, this is fire’. The problem is there’s too many of the first instances and not enough of the last.
