Best: Duckworth
Worst: Loyalty
BLOOD: Great intro to this album. Nothing really special about it.
DNA: Fantastic rapping from Kendrick. The beat switch into the second part where Kendrick raps the hardest I've heard in a while is peak. The song kinda fell off after listening to it a bit too much, but still hits a little hard.
YAH: Tries to be a chill song. It has a alright flow, but is really boring.
ELEMENT: The hype I felt listening to this song for the first time is indescribable. The song is so good and still stays amazing. This songs has 3-ish beats and the way Kendrick raps on all of them perfectly shows his versatility.
FEEL: The way he uses feel in almost every bar and it never gets boring is wild. The bars are very solid and the flow is amazing.
LOYALTY: This is def the worst song the whole album. Rihanna doesn't really sound that good in this song. Kendrick's verse feels very lazy. The whole song feels kinda lazy and boring. It feels more commercial then actually a good song.
PRIDE: This song never clicked for me. I can agree it's a great song, but not as great as many people call it. Kendrick raps slowly and really well, but it feels a bit boring.
HUMBLE: This song is not overplayed for me yet. I can feel get tons of energy from listening to this song. Kendrick raps perfectly in this song. The message of the song is really greatly told throughout the whole song.
LUST: This song is def the most underrated. I can agree it is a bit weird with line such as "As blood rush my favorite vein" and "Let me put the head in" But when he starts rapping is so catchy and the flow is perfect.
LOVE: The vibe is the best part of the whole song. Zacari makes this song sound so well the way he sings. Kendrick raps really well on this track again.
XXX: Beat switch is actually perfect. Kendrick raps the best on the beat switch. The dark vibe that he has before the beat switch also hits really hard. The third part hits slightly less for me, but the flow he has is so good.
FEAR: Concept wise: 10/10 Song Wise: 8/10. The first part is alright rapping is not anything special. Second part even better the way he speaks really hits hard with the lyrics. The final part is actually peak the regular rapping hits really hard and the lyrics hit even harder. The part when he says almost all of the tracks is top 2 best parts of the whole album.
GOD: This what mid feels like. I feel like if I hear this live it would hit really hard but as of right now its mid but really catchy.
DUCKWORTH: Concept Wise: 10/10 Song Wise: 10/10 The beats are all peak, Kendrick raps perfectly on all of them, the story is really interesting and he raps it perfectly into the song. The ending part where he starts saying the part about Karma, Top Dawg, and his father is the best thing of the whole album. Perfectly ends it all.
CONCEPT: The idea you reversing the album to hear a different story is really cool and def raised the whole album score for me.
