I gotta give this a second listen. I wasnt feeling the first 5 songs at all, but then reincarnated-tv off-dodger blue knocked me down.
That FJM album out today was good, first thing of his I’ve liked in awhile, but i apologize to it I’m not revisiting that for a minute rn lol
Genuinely thought he was sampling NewJeans when heart pt. 6 started haha. Can’t work out which one though.
The first split second of the luther vocal sample sounds like “IF YOURE LISTENINNNNN” from the sweetness Edit: Like 1:22
Kendrick's current/post-"Not Like Us" rapping voice reminds me of that time Nas tried to solve a murder
Anyway I've only got one listen in but so far this feels like easily his worst album since the early days - the sung hooks are generic or worse, the lyrics are less distinctive than he's ever been, and Jack Antonoff should be [redacted] for sport based on how much less rich, original and textured this sounds than the TDE albums (and for "Please Please Please" just in general). I did like the opener, "gloria" and "reincarnated" on first pass. Hope to feel differently down the line!
You’re not on tiktok my dude you can say that we should kill jack antonoff for these beats if you want
