DAMN.

Me and this album have had a strange relationship. This was the first album of Kendrick’s that I fell in love with, and for a while it was my favorite album of all time. As years have gone on and my music taste expanded and changed, and as I fell in love with GKMC and TPAB, this went from potentially my favorite Kendrick project to my second least favorite. I played this album so much that I think I burned myself out of it, and for 3-4 years I found myself almost never returning to this album. However, in the last few months I have fallen in love with this album again. Yeah, there are some songs on here that feel a little awkward, but this album is still a great body of work with some absolutely stellar highlights and performances.
