I don't think any of the tracks had big names on DAMN.

They were all one-word titles weren't they?

DAMN it.

That it? I wouldn’t consider that a leak.

Well that has gotten me absolutely bloody buzzing. First Ghost of Tsushima gets a release date, then they announce the new The Last of Us HBO series, now King Kenny returns. I need a first single, although that promo video is amazing too. HERE WE GO!

I just saw that the TLOU series is being made by the same producer as Chernobyl which is one of my top 3 series of all time. I have extremely high expectations for this!

The best part about it is that Neil Druckmann and other ND staff are involved too! Can't wait!

If I’m correct the article was posted after an interview with Emily. Emily might have mentioned his name to a journalist or something.

I mean it’s clearly Kendrick I just think that they are holding off announcing him because they’d rather announce the last headliner with the poster.

Everyone’s welcome to their own opinions and that but cannot believe anyone would rate DAM over GKMC. You lot are MAD.

Jay Rock on this potentially best verse of the decade. That or Ric Ross on Devil in a New Dress. Do not at me.

Agreed. I find it hard to put TPAB over it as well, as great an album as it is I never really go back to it.

[Hugh Jass]

GKMC is the best hip hop album of the last decade. And I’ll fight anyone who says otherwise.

[jparx]

I mean this is a very friendly way, but no opinion baffles me more in the entire world than people NOT ranking GKMC as Kenny's best record. I don't get it and I never will.

Don't get me wrong, Butterfly is a tremendous record but GKMC is another level of genius. Plus Butterfly does have some filler on it.

Whilst I probably agree I listen to GKMC much more than anything else, I possibly even listen to DAMN. more than TPAB which although excellent feels like it deserves attention whilst Good Kid can easily be thrown on whilst on the bus or whatever.

[Hugh Jass]

I’d be listening to Good Kid right now if I wasn’t getting myself hyped for Supergrass later.

[SwedgeAntilles]

Not to throw the cat amongst the pigeons but I'd rate UU above DAMN. UU was the first record that got me into him and DAMN, aside from DNA, left me kinda cold.

A magazine published an article including Kendrick as one of the headliners then swiftly removed it.

Your tripping if you think Jay Rocks verse is better than either Big Sean’s or Kendrick’s control verses

I find it so hard to list his albums in any order and for me it changes completely depending on my mood. 

GKMC is an incredible album and can easily be number 1 in my list on some days - the songs are almost all very accessible and it's more traditional Hip-Hop.

TPAB is obviously his masterpiece but out of the holy trinity of GKMC, TPAB and DAMN, it's also the album I go back to less often just because as a whole it's a more complex and challenging listen because of the heavy jazz elements and the theatricalness of it. 

DAMN on the other hand, for me, has the best of both of GKMC and TPAB in that it's more accessible than TPAB, and the production/flows/general structure of songs to me is slightly more interesting than GKMC. 

Then UU and S80 are both brilliant also, and both have multiple tracks that I come back to all the time. Black Panther for me was ok. 

That being said, one day DAMN is my favourite, then GKMC, then TPAB -  it changes all the time, and that's why he's such an incredible artist. 3 absolute world class classics that all appeal to different moods/times.
