i think its so impressive and nuts that every Kendrick album has purple must hear now, he deserves it
i love OG marina, i will never forget discovering her in my 2012 tumblr era
i can recognize the fact that this album was MASSIVE in 2014/2015, literally went to new york a few months after its release and every cab was playing Welcome to New York on repeat.
i do NOT think this is the pop bible (its melodrama) and the praise is exaggerated
when people say they cry while listening to certain music/artists I thought they were being dramatic.... well I cried at the end AND while watching the short film.
as a Pittsburgh native, my heart is very heavy today <3
