So incredibly interested to see what this is – my favorite band and favorite rap artist... never would have guessed this! My first reaction is to be skeptical, but if anybody could pull this off it's Kendrick. Can't wait for Friday!
Just noticed that everything updated on iTunes/Apple Music, album now lists the proper title/cover art/tracklist, with track times. 55 minutes long.
Many more tracks 4:00 and under this time around, other than FEAR. Definitely expecting more concise, maybe straightforward in a sense, tracks than on TPAB or GKMC
yeah most likely not going to have a narrative/skits built into the songs this time around. really just can't wait to hear what he has in store for us.
I unironically love U2 in the corniest way (but this feature is such a heat check for Kendrick and could easily be legit awful)
The fact that it's "featuring U2" and not "featuring Bono and The Edge" makes me think it's more likely a robust sample, but obviously anything's possible.
I think the U2 feature is an interesting idea for someone in Kendrick's position.. dare I say it, humbling?
Sweetest Thing pls But honestly he probably jammed out a new track with U2, that's easier to believe. Hoping its not like his Imagine Dragons collab.
I went from strongly disliking the album cover this morning to already liking it a lot now. I can imagine once I have the context of the album I'll like it even more, and hopefully the title will grow on me too. At first I was kind of disappointed in the lack of rap features but then I realized TPAB only had Rapsody (Snoop is just on a little hook). Kendrick really doesn't need any of those So fucking hyped.
