There's absolutely no doubt about the creativity within this album. It transcends hip-hop. My only concern is it translating live...to a not completely partizan audience. I wonder if these two festival appearances are going to be the litmus test to see how a new material heavy set will be received?

It could be Radiohead 1997...or Radiohead 2017.

Definitely going to be there to find out. 

Holy crap, we're guaranteed a legendary show!

Admittedly I've only listened to it once but it sounded to me that he was making a wider point rather than just dropping that word in to be offensive.

Everything I can see is in defence of Kendrick and the song.

We Cry Together is a massive misstep.

Sounds like it should be in an Eminem album.

thought it was great personally, so cinematic, you can imagine being there in the middle of the argument. Relatable to anyone who's been in a toxic relationship

Yeah it certainly seems to be the marmite track of the album, you either like it or you don’t, I can appreciate it artistically but I’ll be skipping it more often than not I think

 

 

overall the second half of the album could go down as one of the strongest of all time for me . Not a bad Track and simply flows phenomenally

Tiny fraction of people tweeting angrily about it, almost entirely gen Z people.

All of the queer people I have on socials who would pay attention to that kind of thing either emotionally love the song and what Kendrick is trying to do, or are making ironic jokes about it.

K-Dot don't miss. 🔥🔥

I liked DAMN. more on the first listen, but can tell some of these are just gonna get better with time. Not sure if any of these tracks are going to be as popular as HUMBLE. This is a much deeper, emotional album, not as radio friendly.

Production might be the best yet.

Just made a mental note to get as far forward as I can for this set 👍

Some of the meme’s and comments about We Cry Together already on Twitter is cracking me up.

first listen thoughts (what is a first listen even worth on an album this deep)

my god, your soul isnt ready for auntie diaries -> mother i sober

As said by others previously, this is like his Kid A. Its not the live banger fest i thought it might be but if he goes for the theatrical set many believe he will at glasto, this could be something special.  Going back in now ive listened to it once.

they are missing the point then, fml, final line of the song...

[mcshed]

Initial reaction is it's a bit meh, I'm sure on repeat listens I'll get more into it but for now I don't get the hype, it's certainly not up there with TPAB and GKMC.

Sampha, Beth fucking Gibbons, the production ❤️ 

Once again Glasto have nailed the booking. I know Kenny has headlined festivals before including R&L, but something about this moment feels like it could go down as an all timer.

I think this is a fucking masterpiece 

[Acid Loafers]

Sampha & Baby Keem seem locked in as guests imo

I know I'm trippin, but imagine Rihanna for LOYALTY.

Even  better on second listen. first listen is always tempering expectations i had in my mind on any music i listen to. the only song that truley disapoints is purple hearts because it has ghostface on it and a song with kendrick and ghostface should blow my mind (in my head).

[Slugy]

Had to stop at 2 listens because my office clearly would not apricate K-dot day as much as I but 2 was enough to know this is nothing short of a master stroke of pure genius, 10/10.

Are you sure you're not in denial?

I have a strange feeling if he'd released an album of white noise you'd be saying the same.
