Kendrick Lamar will kill your favorite rapper for money

"swimming pools" is such a bad song

"art of peer pressure" and "money trees" are the ones to pull out

With the exception of Backseat Freestyle and Compton and one or two others it's all pretty downbeat and melancholic and it takes a bit of time to settle into the right mood for it - it's hardly surprising it works better as a whole.

"Backseat Freestyle" is prob my least favorite song on the album

I don't get why someone would think swimming pools is a bad song. Not your favorite, ok. But bad?

OPEN YOUR MIND UP AND LISTEN ME KENDRICK, I AM YOUR CONSCIENCE IF YOU DO NOT HEAR ME THEN YOU WILL BE HISTORY KENDRICK in gazoo the great voice is just the worst imo

oops i mean the great gazoo

although i guess rev can take solace in the fact that kendrick himself can't think of any words that rhyme with "kendrick"

I totally disagree (about that line being the worst)

also is "damage of vodka" a thing people say or just a weird flowery turn of phrase he came up with

a combination of shiplo railing against "swimming pools" and hearing it in radio rotation turned me from "eh this song is whatever" to "okay this song is borderline unbearable"

also t-minus is one of my least fav producers and the chorus is annoying

haha ruining kendrick for multiple people itt :)

lol

posts very much in character

swimming pools is awesome gtfo

well that settles it

swimming pools are awesome but that song kinda sucks

Listen to deej, j0rdan - just this once.

lol

curious to know if goons rate chief keef above this. obviously 2 very different beasts, but i think i might

i've played keef's album more but it functions that way. i wouldn't say it's better tho.

none of the songs on this are radio songs, get this album off the radio ASAP

well "swimming pools" was a pretty big radio song

also please get off the radio ASAP rocky

What was the consensus here about LongLiveA$AP?

easier to admire than to... i'll shut up

"poetic justice" is a good radio song (even if i don't like the way they shoehorn the title in the lyrics, the janet original is better, and drake adds nothing). curious what they'll try as a radio single beyond that.

"money trees" is the next one but apparently they cut the jay rock verse

ha so they're gonna work the "ya bish" song w/ all the "ya bish"es taken out huh

First time I align with deej in weeks. Anyway urban radio here only started playing SP in the last six weeks, so I dont hate it yet.

my fav part of "money trees" are those vocal gun sounds they brought over from "cartoons & cereal"

hmm i never put two and two together

quoting KL lyrics?

try rapping it in triplets

Money Trees was my #1 from the beginning, continues to be my fav. It's a classic. No question about it. Love how "Hot sauce all in our Top Ramen" line doesn't even sound like english

smh

ya. that jay rock verse is easily best moment on the album.

hold on

lol the entire album?

yea, for me at least

it's up there

the contrast of a voice like Jay Rock or MC Eiht cutting through the middle of the album is used to great effect, definitely think those are standout moments
