Two lacklustre singles insofar, with an overblown music video

i'm expecting something great, but not GKMC/TPAB great

there's no way he can release something better than his last 2, but i'll be really happy if he does

The Heart is good though. Humble is fine and like everyone said it will probably make more sense in the album's context.

What if this is his 'Encore'? Think about it.

>3 albums widely considered masterpieces
>currently considered one of the greats
>album lead by a weak novelty single and musically one of his worst styles

I'm worried....

It was the exact same situation for TPAB.

This,
I ain't worried about his new album one bit. He has the skills and the subject matter. He will make something good. Very good even.

Are you seriously falling for it again? He does this so often.

He tends to release a more mainstream sounding track as a single that makes perfect sense within the context of the album.

With GKMC he had Swimming Pools and Backseat Freestyle. With TPAB he had i.

>>71898440
>TPAB he had i.
I was fantastic.

>>71898440
He's only released one song from the album. The Heart pt 4 is just a teaser. I hope he releases another single more in line with his previous stuff like he did with The Blacker The Berry and shuts everyone up

No you weren't.

this is going 2 be a muslim worship album

>>71898461
The common opinion is that it was a failed attempt at a huge radio single and that he was trying to follow in the footsteps of Happy.

Then TPAB came out and it fit perfectly in the context and peoples' opinions of it changed completely.

>>71898111
You're a fucking idiot OP lol

>>71898133
>there's no way he can release something better than his last 2
Why not? Most rappers have managed it.

>>71898111
Swimming pools, i, backseat freestyle where all lack luster singles at first, but they where all telling of the general sound.

HUMBLE sounds great, trendy beat and all, this is probably going to be his best album yet.

>>71898520
I think it was okay, maybe like a 7/10 but if the whole album is like that I won't be happy. But I know TPAB has grown on me a ton over the past two years since it's release.

>>71899363
hopefully its his least pretentious album yet

>>71899618
Bitch, GKMC was in no way pretentious.

His previous fucking albums were just as fucking bad. Are you all honestly R E T A R D E D? Please, FUCK OFF.

well okay then

>>71899344
no rapper has put out two albums as good as gkmc and tpab and then followed it up with something even better

>>71898111
You realize the same shit was believed about Backseat Freestyle and i, but they ended up being very important parts in the whole album, right?

>>71900027
I'm trying to imagine in what sense this could fit and I really can't. I think this is just gonna be Kendrick's sellout record.

Do we know if The Heart is even on the album?Is there like a leaked tracklist or what?

It sounds like a loosie to me.

>>71900150
The Heart tracks have never been on albums. They're a separate series, with the last The Heart song being released 2 days before GKMC if I remember correctly

>I am very, very worried about his new album.
Reconsider your life choices.

>808s>MBDTF>Yeezus

>>71900196
Thank you. Didn't know that.

>>71900096
He has a song about being tempted to sell out, followed by this, followed by a depressing song about becoming irrelevant and humans problems and such, either that or he puts a different mix/production of the same song to fit with the album, or both

It's supposed to be lackluster. He's mocking mainstream rap.

Hmmm... I feel as if you may be approaching this issue with some preconceived notions about rap music.
