RIP to all the homies that we lost between DAMN and Mr.Morale. This album is for you all.

Kendrick Lamar definitely needs to be added to some hall of fame.

Nobody paints a clearer picture of the black experience, through rap, than Kendrick. This album may make some uncomfortable, but this album is so necessary. He's grieving while healing and bringing us along for the journey. This album may not make you dance but it'll definitely make you think. Hats off to K- Dot for being authentic.

My daughter and I listened to this album from start to finish last Sunday, while on the road. 21 and 51 years old. We jammed, grooved, cried and were amazed. A hip hop opera. Incredible. We are busting butts to make ticket money for the Detroit show. Some things can't be missed.

i don't know if i'm going to survive this album

This speaks volumes about how Kendrick lets us into his head after going through a change in who he is as a person. Going through many changes myself these past few years I can relate to a lot of the emotions expressed in this album coming from a similar time and similar neighborhood just different names and different stories.

This sounds like nothing we've ever heard from kendrick before, this sounds so experimental and fresh

Lyrics:

I’m super amazed with the mixing and mastering of this song. Most people won’t notice, shout out to the sound engineers behind these masterpieces!🙌🏽

I have to say this album makes me go threw a whole spectrum of emotions. Sadness, hope, angry, and euphoria from the choice collabs, his technique and style of story telling, and the instrumentals. Never heard anything like it. Never heard a rap artist with such an appreciation for instrumentals in my life.

Just in case anyone had any doubts about Rap being "real" music, Kendrick came to remind you, yes it is.

the piano usage in this album and the timing of when it comes in at certain parts makes it feel as though it is saying "It's okay"

Flow changing 🔥

I can't relate to a rapper who's always talking about millions of dollars, exceptionally beautiful woman, cars, houses, clothes and who's always projecting the image of perfection, cause that's not the kind of life everyone lives. I can however relate to a rapper that tells me not to look at him as an idol cause he has the same problems, unresolved issues, fears, trauma and hurt as I do. He's humanised himself and in doing so has made me understand that even so called idols go through the same shit as everyone else and they also need to heal, that he's just like me, and we shouldn't let past trauma and present doubts hold us back. If you understand that you'll realise how groundbreaking this album is.👑

The instrumentals on this track are amazing, after a few replays, it became so interesting to me how Kendrick can carry beats so well in his own artistic form he never ceases to amaze me. His album was great, I can't turn it off repeat. So many great stories to dissect.

Yes lord!! This man constantly elevates with every album. It’s like he learns more about himself and writes his true feelings about his journey/progress.

The unpredictability in this song is amazing.

I screamed a loud ass "WOOOOO" within the first three bars. Killer opener, what we've been waiting for
