**Official Kendrick Lamar Thread 4th Studio Album ''DAMN.''Out Now**

[3god]

What’s hard to believe about that? He’s probably spent years out of the booth.

[daruma]

OKLAMA again.

 

[3god]

Ok this album could be his greatest work. Something about his energy right now feels special.

 

[daruma]

 

[htg designs]

That was meh.

 

[6 Rings G.O.A.T.]

I am the omega.

 

[3god]

This will work as a warmup. My main takeaway is… Kendricks got A LOT to say this go around. Society over the past 2 years has given him so much material, and you can hear it in his verse. He sounds hungry.

 

[jayt1202]

Anyone got the Kendrick only version of this track?

 

[footballaz]

bars were decent - the aggressiveness is heating up- smoking on top 5- no more subliminals!

the spit was tupac'esque when he got out of court in his red wings jersey- seems like it was directed at the paparazzi


Okhlama, Hut

Listening through DAMN for the first time in awhile… got me hyped for the new project whenever it comes.

When DAMN released it was so great.

 

[3god]

It is/was great, but as time has passed… it probably is his *worst* (for lack of a better term) album. Still great but I don’t think it has what the other projects had.

 

[Remy LeBeau]

DAMN is his most balanced and complete album. TPAB is probably my favorite tho.

 

[3god]

More balanced and complete than GKMC? Lol

 

[htg designs]

TPAB is most favorite album of all time, next to Reasonable Doubt.

Its literally a PHd course in black music. It displays a level of musical mastery that may not be palatable to the masses, but embodies stylistic essense and spirit of black sound.

GKMC > TPAB > S.80 >>> DAMN

DAMN is still a good album but as aged poorly to me.

TPAB is his best album, DAMN is his most accessible in my opinion, I personally put it over GKMC, but I can see how people could rank GKMC over it as well. For me, as time has passed, the last 1/4 of GKMC hinders it from being as good to me as DAMN is.

And tbh, I overplayed the hell out of DAMN when it released. It’s still a classic to me.

Absolutely, you can tell he "figured it out" on DAMN and was able to give people everything. GKMC was amazing for a major label debut but you can tell he wasn't there yet which makes it even crazier that that was his debut.

Listened to Family Ties all day , watched the video multiple times , and my body is ready .

TPAB has recently overtaken Food and Liquor as my favorite album of all time .

Over the past year I have put Food and Liquor at the top, TPAB is a solid contender.

 

[The Fresh Prince]

To Pimp A Butterfly will always be known to me as the TUPAC (Tu Pimp A Caterpillar) album.

What???

 

[cragmatic]

That was what he was originally going to title it I believe.

 

[3god]

Im glad he second guessed that. It deserves its own identity.

GKMC > TPAB > S.80 >>> DAMN

In the end, he’s got 4 classics. But, yeah, this is my order as well.
