9.0/10
Kendrick Lamar returns after 5 years of absence... and he returns with a bang. This album comes through with a multiverse of Kendrick's rapping ability -- with hints of his 2017 album 'DAMN.' coming through on songs like "N95" and hints of his theatrical album "To Pimp A Butterfly" on songs like "We Cry Together".
Some people may say: "What's more important? Production or lyrics?" and Kendrick's response to that would most likely be "both of them!" Kendrick on this album comes through with both incredible production, with my favorite production moments on songs like "Mirror" and "N95", and incredible lyrical moments that'll make your jaw drop on songs like "Auntie Diaries" and "We Cry Together".
Although there are some songs that left me like "meh" on Disc 1, this album is essentially amazing all around. It's simple, but it's also complex... how is that even possible? Oh yeah, it's Kendrick f***king Lamar. That's how.
