    Has no one realized how amazing and important "XXX" is ? People criticize Kendrick for being a hypocrite, preaching about peace and equality but he used to gangbang and they claim he's still violent , this is his response, he's saying anyone has a sensitivity to them that can make them snap and go crazy even if you're about peace and gun control or equality so his friend calls him asking him for advice because his son was murdered and he knows Kendrick is a man of god and peace but Kendrick tells him nah fuck that if someone killed my son somebody's getting killed and then he explains how he would try to kill him and ultimately go on a killing spree and go insane if someone touched his family (also I believe he's driving through Compton and that siren in the beat is representing police and paramedics which implies people are dying and crazy shit is happening while he's saying all of this on the phone) and then he tells his friend he has to go to a convention (to talk about gun control as you hear in the Spotify version) and when the beat changes well everything bono and Kendrick says is what they're saying in the convention. All of this effort and detail in one song easily makes XXX the best song on the album

Specially if you're white and u never listened to Funk music it doesnt sound too appealing at first (in my case). But reading the lyrics and explanations, the message etc it is truly a masterpiece but sonicly not for me atleast. I still bump tracks like Alright, King Kunta

    “GOD” is severely underrated. He took a sound everyone is using nowadays & took it to another level. He talks about being worshipped & feeling like he has it all (like a god) but still being judged & critiqued. Great production on the entire album though.

    I was coming up during the 90s so my GOAT is Nas... Biggie, Cube, 2Pac, Q-Tip and others would need to be in the conversation... BUT... Kendrick is definitely in that conversation and I would already put him in top 3 (Nas, Biggie, Kendrick) and on consistency alone I am now asking myself if he is the GOAT (even over Nas). I mean Section 80 -> GKMC -> TPAB -> DAMN... It can't be denied. The breadth and brilliance of his musical creativity, his storytelling ability, the consistently high bar he sets for himself and how nobody even gets close in this generation. He is the only rapper of this generation I get excited about every time an album is released. King Kendrick!

    This is by far the darkest album Kendrick has ever made. Its socially aware, and even has an overarching narrative (as many claim it doesn't). But that is to be expected from Kdot.
    What I did not expect was for Kendrick to question the way God feels about the planet. I'm an atheist, and pre-release press for this Album made it seem like it was going to be all about God, which i feared because it would alienate me a bit from the music (not that I still can't enjoy it).
    But I was absolutely wrong. The way Kendrick speaks is so dark its almost depressing. "God" is one of the most powerful songs I have ever heard. Obviously these only my first impressions after my first hearing, and I will need to dissect this a bit more before I reach a verdict on it.
    For now I can say that the message of this album is defined by the title. Kendrick has given up on the world, and all he can say about what's going on, is "Damn". Not that I blame him.. but to see someone as strong as him come out with something so vulnerable.. its just so powerful to me.
    One things for sure.. I'll be listening to this album for years.

    My favorite Kendrick album ever

      sonnyjason2 Same. My fav track is definitely DUCKWORTH, followed by FEAR, HUMBLE, DNA and LOVE. My least favourite is LUST. I get the meaning, I just think it doesn't justify why it's so repetive. GOD was catchy in a weird way, but not great. LOYALTYwasn't outright bad, it was just forgettable. YAY was really calm but not a favourite. XXX was really good but again, not favourite. ELEMENT was much the same. FEEL and PRIDEwould definitely be favourites on any other Kendrick project but they aren't on damn, which speaks about the quality of music on this. What is your opinion on the tracks?

    FEAR was the Sing About Me for DAMN. I say that cause they both connected the dots for me. The production is realllllly on point.

    I think that track "Blood" he talks about the Statue of Liberty... Blind woman... Liberty that kills, etc...
    Justice... No justice for all...

    Knowing that Shawn resonates with FEEL. Exactly how I am rn in 2021. Knowing how much happier he is and more successful he became imma use that as motivation. So thank you Shawn for making UA-cam content for all of us to enjoy.
