Where have I heard the sample on this track before? It sounds really familiar, I feel dumb for not remember what it is. That little guitar riff.

YES, it's annoying me, it sounds so damn familiar.

Nope. But kendrick made it work somehow.
Nah it's original. Bono's got like three lines, but I believe it's actually the rest of the band playing piano, bass and drums.
It's not the best track on the album but it's probably the most important in terms of political message, the lyric is pure fire. I feel on first listen it's kind of the nail the rest of the album is hanging off.

honestly perfect follow up to TPAB. how do you out do such a massive artistic accomplishment? by eschewing pretension and making BANGERS
This really isn't just bangers though. This is still artistic as fuck. Just more variety in the sound, less jazz focused.

i mean obviously you can't be a rapper in this day and age and expect people to take you seriously without making some kind of political statement, but this is def a step back in pure ambition from TPAB, which i think was the right approach. instead of continuing trying to one up himself (and potentially succeeding btw), kenny just took a step back and breathed.

First impressions are he's far more introspective and personal rather than going for a grand narrative this time. He goes pretty deep in, kinda depressing for much of it.
Production is smooth, psychedelic, reminds me of early Massive Attack and Tricky in spots in how thick the atmosphere is.

GKMC not car worthy? the fuck?

Yeah, this is a great album so far. I don't consider it GKMC TPAB caliber, but no other rap albums are.
It's a new direction for him, but I'm glad he did it.

Pride is beautiful and so un-Kendrick.
I know nerds love to rank shit but right now I don't care, he's gone sideways and I'm so damn intrigued.
Edit: Trying to put my finger on what Pride reminds me of and it's Janelle Monae, can't remember the track though.
