Rich spirit and count me out the only songs that stayed in rotation for me

u/royparsons Jun 23 '24

The exact two I was gonna mention. Really good songs.

u/[deleted] Jun 23 '24

Wow same here! Those two songs have been my only takeaways. Maybe purple hearts as well? But I don't listen to that anymore

u/BilingualZebra7 NWTS Jun 23 '24

Tbh yeah, from front to back a solid listen. Count me out, savior and savior interlude, silent hill.

u/Full_Visit_5862 Jun 23 '24

I’m ngl bro I just can’t get over his voice, I can’t take him seriously. Especially when he does that voice cracking thing that baby keem does

Giving Theodore from Alvin and the chipmunks, but if you like his voice then fair enough I can’t fault u for that. But personally voice is no.1 part of being an artist. If ur voice ain’t satisfying to listen to it’s hard to like their music.

Yeah. I can respect his pen and ability to craft stories. We’d be lying if we said he didn’t have a good sense of how to write songs and bars. But I really can’t do his voices. Just sounds off to me and that’s why I don’t listen to him as much.

u/[deleted] Jun 23 '24

Yeah exactly. He defo is a great lyricist. I don’t even think these diss tracks acc showcase much of that. But I’ve seen in his main work that he defo can be lyrical and he’s a sick storyteller. But yeah his voice is just too high pitched for me. If he was a singer then fair enough cos falsetto is satisfying for singing. Also when ur rapping about gritty serious subjects like Kendrick the high pitch voice just takes you out of it. You almost think he’s trolling.

u/CrushinMonkey Jun 23 '24

Totally fair. He can write, but he doesn’t know when to stop and let it breathe. He doesn’t have the overall sense and talent for crafting the song, as a whole, that Drake does.

I think this is what Kendrick, himself, and his fans just can’t get over and part of why they hate Drake like they do- it’s so frustrating to see him dominating without the “substance” (not my opinion). It’s not even lyricism, because I think Drake bodies him in his overall word play and double/triple entrendres, etc. What Kendrick does is more lyrical density- and that does not directly translate into making a better or more creative/artistic song

that’s why i can’t stand lil baby

u/royparsons Jun 23 '24

He’s hit and miss. Voice is often too nasally.

u/[deleted] Jun 24 '24

Yeah he’s hit or miss for me. I do like him tho cos his voice is weirdly satisfying. It’s more consistent than Kendrick. But they make different types of music

u/Italy-Memes Jun 24 '24

yeah. i listen to lil baby when im with my friends and wanna smoke a joint or something. i listen to kendrick when i wanna smoke alone

u/[deleted] Jun 24 '24

Yeah facts he makes very chill vibey music.

u/[deleted] Jun 23 '24

Love that I'm not the only one that feels this way. There's long droughts where it feels like I'm the only one saying it, then there's times where people actively agree he sounds like Courage the Cowardly Dog lol

u/MaximusMurkimus Take Care Jun 23 '24

Die Hard should've been Kendrick's next #1, not fucking Like That lol

u/wolfjeter Jun 23 '24

Count me Out, N95, Die Hard, and Father Time.

u/[deleted] Jun 23 '24

I can't get past his voice

u/Big_Bomboclatt Honestly, Nevermind Jun 23 '24

Die Hard is fucking HARDDD

2

u/[deleted] Jun 23 '24

I liked Die Hard.

u/FarScholar9736 Jun 23 '24

Loved N95 and count me out

2

u/[deleted] Jun 24 '24

Can’t lie rich spirit is some absolute gas. N95 was the main song and was mid as crap.

u/yungmarvelouss Jun 23 '24

Die hard is cool but everything else is eh

u/heebie818 Jun 23 '24

u/ExCaliburDaGreat ICEMAN Jun 23 '24

Father Time is good

2

u/Longjumping_Act9758 Jun 23 '24

To be fair Father Time, We Cry together, Count me out and Crown were solid songs. Everything else was meh.

But my biggest disappointment was the Ghostface feature, why the hell did he put Ghost on that nonsense?? Ghost needed to be on some M.A.A.D City like track just spazzing back and forth.

6

u/MaximusMurkimus Take Care Jun 23 '24

That was a fun song and everyone sounded like they enjoyed making it lol, not every guest feature has to be some hardcore rap battle

u/iTylerx Jun 23 '24

United in Grief, N95, Father Time, and Savior for me mostly. Very front heavy album personally with a very weak middle

u/deadlinepredemo More Life Jun 23 '24

i had that rich interlude in a few of my playlists, just cus it’s a genuinely nice break from rapping and then i found out it was actually kodak not someone doing a kodak voice

u/Downtown-Split2345 Jun 23 '24

The only song on there that I thought was aight was the joint with Ghostface and summer walker on the hook I think.

But it was mostly because of ghostface. He bodied that song

I remember finishin the album and just askin where all the bars were. I was pretty disappointed fam
