Re-looking at this album for my end of the year list and my initial disappointment has now revealed some real gems. The midtempo stuff is all really good. FEEL, PRIDE, and LUST are all great. I think its actually a better album then Big Fish Theory (the other hip hop release ive enjoyed) although the heights arnt quite as high (although DNA comes close)

I’m very late to the Kendrick Lamar party.

What album would you recommend for me to buy first?

good kid, maad city

Thanks folks. That’s as unanimous as it gets.
Good Kid MAAD City has been ordered.

Ah man, it’s such a cliche to say, but I really envy you getting to listen to it for the first time. Probably still my top album of the decade so far!

:face_with_raised_eyebrow:

oh duh you posted it

was raising an eyebrow at him doing a marvel soundtrack

I mean, are you surprised? Remember last year he did a collab with U2 and Maroon 5

yeah but that’s just roll up and collect $500,000 for doing a verse in his sleep. he’s producing the whole soundtrack

But musicians do soundtracks all da time brah

Think youre underestimating how big a thing black panther is in black culture at the minute.

don’t know shit about marvel full stop tbh

It’s a black superhero in mainstream cinema. It’s a massive thing
