Kendrick - DAMN.mp4

Comments

Anonymous

This album definitely took me a while to really get into but now I like it almost as much as TPAB. It felt "simple" to me at first compared with his other stuff but there is so much content here the more you dig. BLOOD gives a lot of context to the rest of the album the more you listen. Pay attention to the contrast of wickedness vs weakness. The blind woman is supposed to be lady justice (justice is blind) but she has lost something, representing how America's justice system is broken. She kills Kendrick when he tries to help her find what she lost, i.e. when he is fighting for justice. Also, with regards to Carl's speeches, Kendrick often includes perspectives he doesn't necessarily agree with, so I wouldn't assume he believes the same thing, but he finds Carl's perspective compelling.

I really appreciated your honesty when talking about being confronted with your old beliefs. Really cool.

Bruh what a surprise! What does this mean for simz? Maybe I should watch the video and you’ll cover it

the sound of this album is a lot more complex than people give it credit for. yeah musically speaking it's more controlled and it's a seemingly lesser amount of work than tpab, but damn is so much more refined and well engineered. though damn isn't my favorite kendrick album i still think it is his best. people can argue about it back and forth all day, but the amount of kneading kendrick did with the producers and other artists really shows. it's hard to say more about the project without having to write an essay, so just keep listening and enjoy it at your own leisure.

I enjoy when you over analyze lyrics ! Because of the Internet I would love a deep dive into the lyrics . Great work !

Great reaction. Now time to deep dive on Lupe Fiasco before you hand out top lyricist awards

Mr. Bigweld

Great reaction like always. I think some of these tracks will grow on you musically they did quite a bit for me at least. So excited you’re doing untitled unmastered tomorrow!!

As far as lyrics go Bob, please, dig away. I know for me anyway, that's the reason I'm here

I would reccomend just listening and rewinding more instead of reading lyrics because if you're trying to read and listen you do neither. You paused at a lot of transitions too. Kendrick is really clear so I think if you put the lyrics away you can just listen and hear everything. Then after a song is over go back and read. I think rewinding and relistening is better

Love the reaction Bob! I remember it took me a few listens but that’s is for real my favorite Kendrick album. It’s so easy to listen to. PS if you like The Alchemist you need to check out some Action Bronson music! I’ve commented about him a couple times but I saw this as a good opportunity to do it again 😂 he’s one of my favorites!

just wanna say on LUST, my theory has always been that the lust isnt just sexual. its a lust for yourself and self indulgence over anything else

so glad you adored FEEL. because it’s my favorite on the album. Thundercat bass on it is wonderful too. I’ve praised him way too much in your comments, but he really appears everywhere, he’s sprinkled in a lot of the stuff you’ve reacted to lol. Former Suicidal Tendencies bassist too! This is my least favorite kendrick album but it’s still great which is just so cool. Only a couple of songs i never revisit. All the music videos are really worth a watch too, they’re all incredible.

I feel like I'm going through that process right now. Initially, I was shrugging this album off. But now, it's starting to click a little more, a little more, a little more...

Simz is next Friday. I just pushed her back one week. Still doing Introvert (really excited for it)

Finding pause points is always a struggle. I don't like pausing during a verse, but killing a transition is also no good. I think I need to start pausing somewhere on the final line of a chorus or something.
