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

This was awesome man.




Crazy to see his evolution and kinda grow up together with him. Same age and everything now, only seen him once in person at SunFest in the Summer of 2013 and I was in awe. Genuinely enjoy the success he's had and I have no doubt he'll be undisputed top 3 by the time he's done.


True story

I saw Kendrick Live at the El Rey back during the OD days and was standing side by side with Demar DeRozan. Only other time I seen him live was when he opened for Ye I think.

To go from that to being a superstar is wild. I genuinely didn't think that was in the cards for him. I remember when guys like Skeme, DOM K, Nipsey, all were ahead of him with this LA **** then section 80. hit and nothing was the same after that. Like I remember when DOM K was WAYYYY more popular than him out here. I remember when YG had way more juice than Kendrick out here. Crazy man



I got to see all of Black Hippy play a full set together right after GKMC and I feel like that's something that won't happen again for awhile. It's crazy how far they've come.
TDE :nthat:
 
Bron got the Q playing DAMN. pregame :lol:.

Groovy.

It's like a mix of that, Vibrate and Slum Beautiful :pimp:


Three of my favorite Kast tracks :smokin

I was talking about it last night, this feels like an Outkast album. Kendrick playing both roles.
 
Wasn't planing on listening to or buying this til way after the fact, but I'm way outside of Houston in a rental with a very good system and near a Best Buy with time to kill. Album is fire all the way through. Everything I normally complain about when it comes to Kendrick Lamar is kept to a minimum on here. Couldn't have a better opening 5 tracks. Even the songs i expected to be "meh" (Love, Loyalty, and XXX) were cold. Major props to Kendrick on this after I was very indifferent to him after TPAB.

Saw Kendrick perform at a bar with about 100 people at 3 am in his early days. Just remember being hammered yelling for him to do monster freestyle. Met him and talked for probably twenty minutes the next day at a local sneaker shop. Some of the most memorable days of my college time.
 
Monster freestyle is how I first heard him. Loved that og song and beat so much, I was
Interested in anyone spitting on it. One of you cats posted it on here. I playd it n was a fan ever since.

ELEMENT SLAPS in the whip! I'm really enjoying this album on a sunny San Diego day.

Legit had it on repeat at my desk and listened to it for at least 6 hours yesterday at work. Reverse order is the best imo.
 
Im not a Kendrick fan at all.GKMC was a classic.TPAB wasnt all that to me.Its hard to make a classic album.When the album is based on 1 subject.It was needed,but highly overrated in my opinion.Had no replay value to me.With me being a hard person on liking most rap today.This man went in on this album.I dont check for his music.Because im not fan of him.With all the soundalike migo biting garbage thats out now.I said why not check it out.Put it on from start to finish.Didnt skip any songs.I was surprised at the 1980,s feel/outkast sound to it.This might turn out to be a classic like GKMC.Ive been in 2 different states and ive heard Humble,Loyal on different stations.It has that AEOM (Pac) aspect to it.Meaning stations will play songs off of the album.Even if there not meant to be singles.Thats what a classic album does.Thats hard to do nowadays.It was done in the 90,s by alot of rappers,no matter where they where from.The rappers back then where built from a different caliber.Kendrick is part of that wave.I just wish more rappers would stop playing it safe with the usual trap beat and repetitive same flow.If more rappers would be themselves and represent there region production/beat selection wise.The rap game would be in a better place.Put it this way.If you put your heart in it,and represent your state/city.You would be a album artist.Most of the rappers today are mixtape rappers.They dont put there all into it.Other wise they would be releasing 1-2 album every 2 years like our rappers from the past.

Groovy.
Basically.  I keep seeing other 'Kast records but this is Love Below if anything.  Was just waiting for Rosario voice lol
 
Most rappers today put out 2-4 mixtapes out a year.With 1-3 good songs off of each 1.The majority of it being trash.Why not put your all into it.Then shoot videos and promote the album for a full year.If the album is good.The sales will come eventually.But they cant.Because there not really good rappers.There good at making a club song.But getting a classic,or just a decen full album.Is not going to happen.End of my rant.If most artist released albums like Kendrick or Ross.It would return to the Golden years (90,s).
