RIP to the ones who died waiting for this album to drop

u aint lying bro

Deadass tho 😢

💯🙏

yeh

This album deserves a Grammy. Most of these bars are going right over peoples heads. Kendrick is a lyricist. Listen carefully….. it’ll change your prospective real fast

I think every last person listening to this agrees

Agree. Very deep BLK messaging. Therapist meetings. Callouts. Secrets It’s a masterpiece of epic proportions

Lmao I believe every Kendrick fan knows that by this point. From Section 80 he has never let go of his lyrical side and we all know the secret messages and trivia in his lyrics. Dw the Grammy are on their knees for him, this type of genius comes once a generation

Should win everything in Grammy rap next year

For me, this album shows me why artist should take their time w/ their craft instead just releasing fast food music (here today gone tomorrow music). You can hear it in EACH song that he took his time and put effort in every record. I haven’t sat and actually listened to an album like this a while. Good work Kendrick, thank you. Hopefully this album can raise the bar back up for more top tier music again; music w/ actual substance instead of a meaningless message. Thanks again Kendrick for a great body of work 🔥

You said every word I was thinking!

The Saweetie Meal comes to mind for me.

/instead just releasing fast food music/ *instantly thinks of Travis and Saweetie*

Kendrick's music is a solid 3 course meal

Sadly he isn’t bro that’s what chamillionaire and lupe fiasco was trying to explain to people and the late great pimp c definitely told everybody and you see what happen to him the industry doesn’t want truth your best bet stay with kdot and underground rappers

“Take off all that designer bullshit & look at what you got.. You ugly asf “ 🔥 Too many people think materialism will buy you a soul. Kendrick Truly Conscious

Nope that's not the point he's making. Later in the the album he says ''every other rapper sexually abused buried in chains and tattoos'' here he realizes the meaning of that materialism and what other rappers have been through.

ur just poor.

@Om Kushwah No, the message has a wide scope. Kendrick is saying "Take Off" the mask you hide behind, either it be materialistic or idealistic. "Take off the fake deep, take off the fake woke, take off the, "I'm broke, I care" (Take it off)" In this album it becomes clear that Kendrick voices the message to look at yourself, MIRROR, before looking at everyone else. But people nowadays don't do that, they choose a cause to get angry at and criticize everything that goes against it, while not looking at their own personal flaws. The cause becomes the mask they hide behind. Same as with clothes or any other material thing. After the mask is off and you can see what the person truly is, then you realize how ugly they really are.

@Ricardo Rodrigues 100 percent the OP was right, in fact both of you are right

Can't wait to listen to this in 7 years and get super nostalgic.

thats funny

😂😂

Thats a blessed way to think of our fav music jeeeez

could be a month

We might not be Here in 7 yrs it a severe shortage on food

This album is very deep. I never heard music address so many emotions and situations. I feel blessed just to listen and think about life and my own progression. Thank God for Kendrick. This man music is life changing.

I miss Good Kid Mad City vibes, but realize his music is a reflection of his personal growth as an artist.

instant classic

No

@Fredrick Johnson yes

@Fredrick Johnson yes

@Fredrick Johnson yes

Classic my ass.

BEEN WAITING FOR MUSIC LIKE THIS FOR ABOUT 5 YEARS… DAMN.

😁

Great things come to those who wait

is that a DAMN. reference

I will be showing this album to my kids in 20 years when NOTHING HAS CHANGED IN SOCIETY.

Everything is slowly changing, people in power that need to get removed are slowly an systematically being irradicated on the daily while the children they are keepin in the dark an abusing are being saved by the hundreds of thousands. Its gonna be alright dog jus keep your head up🤟🤟❤❤you got this, dont let anyone bring you down in this world today

@Nocturnal420 thanks man, needed it tbh

Lyrics: [Intro] Hello, new world, all the boys and girls I got some true stories to tell You're back outside, but they still lied Woah-oh-oh-oh (Yeah) [Verse 1] Take off the foo-foo, take off the clout chase, take off the Wi-Fi Take off the money phone, take off the car loan, take off the flex and the white loss Take off the weird-ass jewelry, I'ma take ten steps, then I'm taking off top five Take off them fabricate streams and them microwave memes, it's a real world outside (Take that shit off) Take off your idols, take off the runway, I take off to Cairo (Take that shit off) Take off to Saint-Tropez, five day stay, take a quarter mill', hell, if I know Take off the front flag, take off perception, take off the cop with the eye patch (Take that shit off) Take off the unloyal, take off the unsure, take off decisions I lack (Take it off) Take off the fake deep, take off the fake woke, take off the I'm broke, I care (Take it off) Take off the gossip, take off the new logic, that if I'm rich, I'm rare (Take it off) Take off the Chanel, take off the Dolce, take off the Birkin bag (Take it off) Take all that designer bullshit off and what do you have? (Bitch) [Chorus] Huh, huh, uh, you ugly as fuck (You out of pocket) Huh, two ATMs (Hah, hah, hah, hah) You steppin' or what? (You out of pocket, huh) Who you think they talkin' bout? Talkin' 'bout us (You out of pocket—shoot, shoot, shoot) Who you think they copy off? Copy off us (Get back in pocket) [Verse 2] The world in a panic, the women is stranded, the men on a run The prophets abandoned, the lord take advantage The market is crashin', the industry wants niggas and bitches to sleep in a box where they makin' a mockery followin' us This ain't Monopoly, watchin' for love This ain't monogamy, y'all gettin' fucked Jumping on what the hell is that? I gotta relax when I feel (Huh, facts) All of my descendants, they come in my sleep and say I am too real (Huh, facts) I'm done with the sensitive taking it personal, done with the black and the white The wrong and the right, you hoping for change and clericals, I know the feelings that came with burial cries (Bitch) [Chorus] Huh, huh, uh, you ugly as fuck (You out of pocket) Huh, two ATMs (Hah, hah, hah, hah) You steppin' or what? (You out of pocket, huh) Who you think they talkin' bout? Talkin' 'bout us (You out of pocket—shoot, shoot, shoot) Who you think they copy off? Copy off us (Get back in pocket) [Bridge] Serving up a look, dancing in the drought Hello to the big stepper, never losing count Venting in the safe house, venting in the safe house [Verse 3] Can I vent all my truth? I got nothing to lose I've got problems and pools I can swim in my faith Camera's moving whenever I'm moving, the family suing whatever I make Murder is stacking, the president acting, the government taxing my funds in the bank Homies attracting the feds when I'm bracking, look at my reaction, my pupils on skates (Hold up, hold up) Let's think about this for a second (Let's go) Tell me what you would do for aesthetic (Let's go) Would you sell your soul on credit? (Let's go) Would you sell your bro for leverage? (Let's go) Where the hypocrites at? What community feel they the only ones relevant? (Woah) Where the hypocrites at? What community field, they the only ones relevant (Woah) [Bridge] (Huh, uh, huh) You outta pocket, yeah, you outta pocket (This shit hard) You entertain the mediocre, need to stop it (This shit hard) You entertainin' old friends when they toxic (This shit hard) What's your life like? Bullshit and gossip (This shit hard) [Outro] What the fuck is cancel culture, dog? Say what I want about you niggas, I'm like Oprah, dog I treat you crackers like I'm Jigga, watch, I own it all Oh, you worried 'bout a critic? That ain't protocol (Bitch)

You angel you are doing the lords work! 🙏🙏🙏

"The Law take advantage".

I’m l

💪🏾

Thanx blod! 🤜🏼🤛🏼🔥Blessings

I haven’t listened to an album like this in a while. It is so perfectly made. There are no songs (like in other artist’s albums now) that are bad. Thank you Kendrick for taking your time into making this album perfect.

Lol Who tf listens Kendrick Lamar in 2k22? 2k22 on streets everybody normal listen GOMUNKUL 6 now.

@Justin Chamoun 😂 ok thanks

"Wtf is cancel culture..."...my thoughts exactly. Favorite song off this album...Definitely going to have it on repeat.

Cancel culture should be canceled

of all the themes, of all the topics and verses and lines in the album, this is the only one you pick up on? lmfaooo some people

@imlivinginyourceiling lmaooo. Have a blessed day whoever you are bcuz last I checked i can and will say what I want.

@imlivinginyourceiling why do you even care?

Kendrick doesn’t force anything. He takes the backseat until he’s welcomed to the front. Pure confidence.

thats whats up

Definition of not being afraid to not be invited to the table, he always knows what he brings to the table.

THIS BEAT IS CRAZY. WHOEVER MADE THIS DESERVES AN AWARD ASAP

https://youtu.be/5emyWnHWgFI finally its here.

Shaolin Temple

EVERY SONG FROM THIS MAN IS GOLD!!!!!!

Mr. Morale and big steppers deserves the Grammy for Rap album of year 🔥 Kendrick Lamar is murdering the verses on this CD!

Listening to this high is amazing, the different beats are just crazy, that chill beat half way just puts your mind in a crazy state lol

smoke another one

That’s nun listening to this while tripping a different vibe

That's really how you are supposed to listen to this. Sober is cool no doubt it's fucking crazy. But listening to this stone would be on another level. That's half the reason they make this shit

​@Daniel Oviedo fuxkk yeahy next move

@Daniel Oviedo That’s what I did my first time

Thank you Kendrick this album is amazing. Still unpacking all the layers.

"New flows coming be patient brother" indeed he delivered those new flows 🙌🔥

Faxxxxx!

Those were my exact thoughts when I was listening to this🤣🔥

Snap Alert 2:02-2:17👍

Big fact

what a sound !! I love Kendrick

Kendrick you deserve all the Grammies there are, every song you make has a different, important, meaningful, eye opening, message. I’m not sure I’ll stop listening to you anytime soon. Your voice is also so unique and I can’t get enough of it. We have all these fake artists these days rapping about fake experiences or rapping about stuff that isn’t meaningful like fucking bitches, killing people, ect. But you Kendrick you speak on every serious situation. In swimming pools you were talking about drinking, in PRIDE you were talking about how pride can be the death of one. I just can’t get enough of you, my heart shattered when I couldn’t go to your concert. I am 14 and I have been listening to your songs since I heard your song money trees in the radio 5 or 6 years ago. I love you so so so much. I won’t ever forget your messages, hopefully I get to meet you one day 🫶🏽❤️.

Thank you for inspiring me as an artist. Quality music, storylines and artistic genius.

@REB1LLIONY🅥 stop hating 🤣

I love you Kendrick , you speak to my injured soul. Thank you so much for your astonishing talent and LOVE.♥️

Kendrick always lays it real.. his cadence, timing and word choice always on point fife!!!

Kendrick experimenting on various sounds is phenomenal. His style keeps evolving without a breach of authenticity.

He already did it on Mona Lisa (Lil Wayne album)

Rightt

It's different I guess🤷

https://youtu.be/5emyWnHWgFI Finally its here.

a many songs arent good and sound generic

Kendrick always unlocking new voices 🔥

Crazy how he still coming out with more voice characters til' this day

The album is 🔥🔥🔥 as hell congrats Kendrick I love this man

on repeat.... this entire album

Okurrrr... This is real artistry! Taking a moment of silence for people that still know how to convey a message with real meaning behind it. 😑🙏🏽

This man don't even know how to disappoint! LIT!!!

It’s been officially a year since this album came out

This and We Cry Together!!! I mean every song I’ve listened to has been amazing. It’s been a long time since I’ve listened to a whole album w all this bubble gum pop rappers sounding the same it’s relief to my ears and brain! Put something that will make the new generation think into their ears!!! I love K.L. He is a real lyricist!!

I haven’t listened to anything else since this album dropped, not even my phone ringtone. This is platinum!!!! 🎉

"“Take off all that designer bullshit & look at what you got.. You ugly asf “ Dropped an album with this in the lyrics. G.O.A.T. PERIOD!!!

How is it possible to exceed the expectations he had on him for this album. That's insane. This album has no skips for me!

Same!

W

It's not and he didn't

@Xavier F. L

@1nf3r lol, he set the bar too high for himself. I'm not saying it's bad but, after a five year hiatus, I expected more.

I still get so pumped up like it was my first time listening to this track!

Salve para o BRASIL 🇧🇷🇧🇷! Som pesado de mais.

Foda demais!

Soon as he spit that first verse , I knew this is a banger.. this whole album 🤯 true legend!

The best song ever 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Much respect due for these lyrics ✊🏾🔥💯

@Kali The Auracle Dheartpe Copy pasted

Kendrick with the itty bitty spider flow - part 2

You are sooo real brooo 💗 ! Thank God for Kendrick! One of the greatest artists ever !

This album made me cry. Thank you for releasing me from my pain mr lamar

I think personally this is the best song on the album in my opinion this song is absolute BANGER 💯🙌

EXACTLY this or count me out

You never fail us! Amazing record!

Kendrick never disappoints

The production so far is so dynamic. The instrumentals evolve as the song goes on 🔥🔥🔥

Masterpiece, give the man his flowers. 🔥🔥

Fave Kendrick song. Haven't heard full album yet but so far it's 🔥💜

Masterpiece.

This song starts weird but gets better and better as it unfolds

First song from the album I heard. Immediately said thank you Kendrick for taking your time.

Kendrick has transcended rap. He's in his own lane. Actually has a message and depth to his message.

stop tryna belittle rap. kendrick is great but no need to talk shit like so much other artist dont do the same

a lot of rappers have messages/stories, but everyone does their own thing differently

He hasn’t transcended rap, his whole character is literally trying to embody rap. Saying shit like this tells me you’re missing his messages

@Call Me Nemz Yh he trying WAAAAAY too hard to get the likes w a “different take”

He hasn't transcended Rap This _is_ rap at one of its highest levels

Poetic Artistry🙌🏿💯🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Lol Who tf listens Kendrick Lamar in 2k22? 2k22 on streets everybody normal listen GOMUNKUL 6 now.

Kendrick never miss always speaking the hidden truth👁

Literally every song Kendrick makes is an experience.

This goes so hard 🔥

2 songs in and I'm buying this my god, what a beast. Him and Em need to do an album yesterday

I can’t imagine the world without Kendrick

https://youtu.be/pLMvEQlEjXs finally its here

just less of a world atp

Gay

This is by far, my favorite song from the album

This album is therapy not just for Kendrick but also the listener. I don't liove every song but every song has it's place.

Flows and Lyrics 🔥🔥🔥 Even after months

I am a metal head at heart. There's only a few rappers that I stop and listen to. This man is definitely one them. 🔥

This beat is sick...the lyrics is sicker but the flow gotta be the sickest ever🔥🔥🔥🔥

Don't care N95 the best song on the album very unique 🔥🚒

Yea I was afraid that was the case. Since this was the second song I listened to it messed up my expectations for the rest of the album. He says a lot of deep and important things throughout the album, but this was the best song.

Yeah. Agreed. This is my favorite song on the album. 🔥

https://youtu.be/04q2bFCj6pg Finally it's here

Agreed

@MUG bro didn’t listen to silent hill and savior . Clearly you haven’t heard this album Listen again

The instrumental 😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨 This song is next level 🔥

This song live is going to be insane!!

KENDRICK DID IT AGAIN. NEVER DISAPPOINTS. PURE FIRE AND TRUTH!

This beat is amazing 👏 the lyrics are even better

This track right here is my favorite one on the album. Pretty much telling people to take off their twisted version of reality and stop being fake. I laugh a tad bit because of how people truly put on fake personas, like seriously just be yourself and tell the truth!😘

I literally can't name a time this man missed wow actually impressive 😢😤

The Talking Ben Ritual (Speed Gets Ben Back) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=66yjupzBdnQ

I have listened to this album 4 times and so far I believe this is the best off the album

No, you are hyped its just that

The King!!! The Prophet!! The servant of Eli!!! Kendrick a GOAT!!!!

No Lie, this song brings chills down my spine.

Definitely one of my favs!! 🔥🔥🔥

Kendrick in a nutshell..each verse intensifies First verse - Caution Second verse - Danger Third verse - CRITICAL Kendrick a different beast

It was worth waiting for this great production, Kendrick deserves the notoriety for providing us with this magnificent project.

It was worth every minute

Great job my brotha, keep hitting the weights. You're a good man! God Bless!!

Kendrick is dropping gems 💎 🙌

I actually hear pretty much this whole album in person for the first time !! Vancouver big steppers!

Cant wait for another 5 years 🔥🔥🔥

This jam strips off back to being spirit experiencing being human
