Lets convince Eric Holder to run. Otherwise I am going to write in S. Epatha Merkerson or Courtney B. Vance.

One Nation, Underwood...

Actually, plenty of rednecks/hicks called for Obama’s assassination and there were always justifable outrage in the media about it. I hate and loathe Trump so much, I’m a WOC Muslim-born immigrant and I know exactly how Chappelle-Nadal feels, but people, especially politicians and other public figures, need to be…

I’m going to write in Loki.

Other signs you are not ready for a Black friendship: You really want to ask about differences in sexual prowess of either gender or you really want to ask about hair or touch people’s hair. You’re in fetish land and nobody wants that around. If the question “Why do Black people ______” pops into your head, you’re…

Ok, heres my belated thoughts. I would prefer they completely ignore this asshole. Being a business, a review of someone like him certainly gets a lot of clicks, so I get it, but I don’t like it at all.

Hey man your free to limit your scope as much as wanted. People complaining about the corporate watering down of hip hop has been happening since like people started signing record deals and there has been manufactured rap music since it crossed over so that argument is a classic.

The last 7 years is my favorite era of rap music ever so I can't agree. But also, implying that Kendrick would be lower tier in any era is a fucking joke.

Nothing I can say that will make you find his voice less annoying but I will say he's hands down the best live rapper right now. His band and live arrangements are so good I wish he would release a live album. I didn't care for his last album but hearing those songs live is another story.

It is entirely possible that Kendrick Lamar is the greatest Rapper ever.

It's by far my least favorite LP of his, but only because his first two raised the bar so stupidly high. It's a great album with some incredible moments, just not an all-timer like TPAB and GKMC.

I have no idea what everyone else is hearing. For the record, I think GKMC and TPAB are classics but… this is pretty darn underwhelming for me. I think I like the IDEA of this album more than I actually like this album. On paper it sounds great. I like the idea of following up TPAB with something more intentionally…

Fair enough, I agree that doubt, turmoil, and his legacy are all part of it as well. Depression emerged as the dominant theme for me because it's something I struggle with daily, but I do feel there's more than that to the album. Really, I think it's another societal statement, although a bit more personal than TPAB.…

If there's one thing to fault Kendrick on, it's his hooks. Aside from maybe "Blacker the Berry", "King Kunta", "Poetic Justice", and "M.A.A.D. City" they're the weakest parts of his songs. That's ok, though.
I'm baffled though, when people say that "Bitch Don't Kill My Vibe" and "Money Trees" have good hooks. Those are…

I wasn't in love with this on the first listen either. On the second I found a lot more of the songs worked with DNA, XXX and FEAR clear standouts. Third I thought all of it was great, except GOD, and on that listen I had the lyrics open.

I love LOVE. and I can't even explain why

Gonna go a bit stream-of-consciousness. Thoughts:

FEAR. is one of the most depressing songs I've ever heard.

Kendrick Lamar is perhaps the greatest artist currently working. So, it's hard to explain that Damn. really isn't a truly great album. It exists too much in a vacuum to ever be as transcendent as even Good Kid, M.A.A.D. City. But it may be Kendrick's most important album, because it's the one record of his that's…
