    This, imo, is the 2nd best song on TPAB and one of the best songs Kendrick has ever made. I feel like it doesn't get alot of love because of the crying but it's an amazing display of self-reflection and pure emotion. The beat switch, the drinking, the tie-in to Keisha's Song, just everything about this song is fantastic. I know how depression and breakdowns feel like so it hit home for me but objectively speaking, it's still a great song that is a little underappreciated.

    I can't pinpoint an exact reason, but it just doesn't sound good to me.

    I have very specific taste with what's enjoyable to me, so I'm sure that's why it doesn't do anything for me

    I can certainly recognize why people would praise it though
