There’s an intangible disdain about beauty when it refuses to comfort you. On to be kind, swans will drag you teeth first through punishment, stripping down even the most mentally fortified into some terrified, yet strangely alive amalgamation.
I wouldn’t say that fleeing the mind is some new rite of wonder. We’ve all done it and will continue to do it in whatever capacity. The other option is to exist as some numb fleshy lump sentenced to a life compressed by mundanity. ... read more
One does not have to follow Christianity or believe in a certain scripture to grasp and resonate with the concept of social commitment and spiritual reflection displayed within this album. I am an atheist myself, but I would say empathy and care are both core values in my life. They can never come in abundance.

I’ve listened to this album about 3 times already. I’m not impressed.
Maybe I need a few more listens to form a proper opinion…I’m not really sure. What I do know is that I’m very disappointed. I had my expectations WAY too high for the next Kendrick release. I was expecting something around GKMC level in the midst of the Drake beef but got this instead.
I really could live without 90% of the tracks on this album. They have no deep philosophical meaning that ... read more
The genre this album is listed under is conscious rap; easy to see why when there are such masterpieces on the project such as penis song.
