I have been extremely inactive on this website and have barely listened to any 2024 releases because I have been religiously listening to this album and little else for about 6 months now. It's okay I guess.
Bumping this up to a 10/10. Recently have been going through a lot mentally and I'm not sure any other album reflects those feelings of hopelessness, anxiety, and desire to stop existing quite like this one. It walks this line between attempting to grab onto the small moments of joy and hope and hold on for dear life, and battling an overwhelming gloom that doesn't seem to ever leave.
"Are you guys ready for your rap lessons?"
*Drake Gulps*
*Kanye nods nervously*
*Kendrick sighs*
*Travis Scott looks at the floor*
"Yes Mr. Krabs" they say in unison
