Kendrick Lamar - 'GNX'


Recommended Posts

Posted

I think what I'm liking about this album is that, while there is a slight narrative and it's still "artsy" (reincarnated/heart pt 6, etc) this album feels more like a victory lap for Kendrick. 

 

I think something that kind of missed slightly with Mr. Morale was that it felt like it was trying to follow up TPAB/Damn. even though there were plenty of good songs on it. I think it just fell a little short compared to those two albums. 

 

GNX feels like it's a return to more upbeat/fun music for Kendrick, more like his earlier work. In that sense it's a little refreshing and shows he can make easy to listen to music that you don't necessarily need to read along on Genius to enjoy. And that's not taking shots at TPAB/Damn. either, it just shows he's a very flexible and talented artist.

CLEARED his ass

Sorry but the halftime could have been in Wayne's backyard and I still wouldn't have even given him a second look.

 

Super Bowl requires being professional and a performer, of which Wayne is neither, despite his legendary discography. Probably why girls like Mariah haven't done it either despite having an endless catalogue of hits (no shade love Mariah :suburban:)

I love some songs a lot on here, like LOVE, career highlights but I don't think I'm straight enough to come back to bop or keep them in my rotation :toofunny2:  jesus is too prevalent on this one.

I couldn't get into Mr Morale at ALL, but this is such a return to form (for me). I've got it on heavy rotation. :flame:
