Maybe a bit of pop subversion going on, what with the über darkness and whatnot, least in the track I'm thinking of. But in general, I found nothing about it particularly inviting or appealing about it. Sounded pretty basic. Nuts and bolts post-Gucci street hip hop. Nothing special going on.
It's insane, but have you noticed there's been a bit of a kickback at Kendrick lately? Like, he got too big and now he has these horses of haters. Anyway, one friend of a friend said something like, "I can't believe people think Kendrick's the best when this kid's out there making real hip-hop."
Laughable. I'd rather listen to Kendrick Lamar fart in his sleep or fap it to pictures of my girlfriend than spend a single penny on this little bitchass motherfucker.

I know he's had some trappy stuff before, but the songs on this album are either very poor, dumbed down versions of Kendrick (think dark, sad Kendrick, a la "Sing About Me" or "u.") or very poor, dumbed down attempts at sad acoustic guitar music, a la Elliott Smith.
He had a stupid fucking line that went "nobody wants death / 'cause nobody wants life to end", which as soon as I noticed, made me feel like deleting the tape and never listening to it again.
His fans credit him for being "versatile", but the truth is he just attempts a lot of different genres and he's no more than average at all of them.
Yeah that is dumb, Kendrick is still far ahead of his competition.
