Did he really? That's fucking disgusting. Man Drake is the fakest dude in the business.
Anyway, well deserved for Kendrick. He's getting really close for me to being the GOAT. If he puts out one more masterpiece I think he will have both the highest highs and a deep enough discography.

No he didn't, Drake's pretty much mainly had praise for Kendrick.

Backseat Freestyle is the throwaway track
And Drake's verse on Poetic Justice was more memorable than Kendrick's

Bought me the CD. Not gonna even open it. Kendrick deserves the numbers.
Got it digital, but I'm going to pick up the vinyl too.
Kendrick finally getting numbers he deserves. Damn is easily his most accessible from a production stand point, but it's also his most layered in terms of writing, imo. He has the ability to tell seriously engaging stories, but keeps enough vague and layered to keep you coming back -- questioning his ideals, and most of the time, he lets you find the answer that most resonates to you.
I fell off hip hop for a long time, but somebody told me to just give this Kendrick Lamar dude a try -- "just give good kid mad city a listen from start to finish".
I need a new Isiah Rashad album now.

No sense in arguing who had the better verse. Poetic Justice is a dumpster fire.
This post is correct.

This is one of the best albums to ever be created in HipHop and it always intrigues me to say it because I never expect classic records to be made in todays music industry climate.
But Kendrick is the truth. He has a clear concept, message and image. Its been consistent from the beginning. And he actually has a motive to bring up the rap game and help realize how they have their hands on the culture and how powerful that is.
Id call him a figurehead of our community for the modern era.
Drake is just a sing song motherfucka

No, this post is not correct. How is Backseat Freestyle a throwaway track? It is one of the hardest hitting songs on the album, demonstrates Kendrick's impeccable delivery, and is a perfect addition to the track listing when considering the concept of the album.
Okay, c'mon now, let's not exaggerate. I love Kendrick as much as the next person, and as a matter of fact I would agree that his discography contains one or two of the best hip-hop albums ever created (TPAB being a certainty) - but no, DAMN is not one of the "best hip-hop albums ever."
Personally, within the last365 days, I wouldn't even say that this is the best hip-hop album. I would give that to a Tribe Called Quest's new album or even Danny Brown. That's just me. Heck, I thought U.U. was better than this. Great album, yes, but very visible flaws and weak tracks (I just don't like "Love"). And that's why I wouldn't say it's one of the all time bests.

thank god
I will never understand the high praise this album received. Don't get me wrong I think its good, but not 96/100 that it has on metacritic good. Its just a 7/10.
GKMC and TPAB are so much better than this album.
Truth
GKMC and TPAB are so much better than this album.

Kendrick is my favorite rapper ever but this is nothing but facts.

On god people put this album on a pedestal for no reason.
Not even Kanye's best album.
I know I should respect opinions but I just don't understand how anyone could actually think this.
I think that album is overrated as all fuck with people forcing the c-word on it despite it not being worthy
but ye's worst album? wat?
see this is a reasonable opinion

Great album, but Kanye's best moments don't match Kendrick's. Never heard anything from Kanye as impressive as DNA or XXX or Duckworth.

Best songs on the album if I enjoyed (loved even) GKMC but didn't like TPAB much?
it is overproduced, feature heavy and unfocused
but my favorite albums are 808s & yeezus so i understand i am in the minority here
