GNX 2024 Album

Kendrick Lamar

Four spins in, and while there are some unique moments, and enjoyable homage paid to songs of artists like Nas and Pac, nothing (apart from some lines like "I deserve it all" and the hilarious "Mustaaarrrdd") has stuck with me. All of his other albums have greater peaks and more engaging songwriting. The beats at times are weak, and what's been a problem for me his whole career, is the voice/s that he puts on way too often. And FFS, I'm so over rappers rapping without opening their mouths like that from the feature on 'Hey Now'. Capitalise your damn track titles properly too! Best Tracks: Man at the Garden, Reincarnated
