- DAMN. by Kendrick Lamar - An Anomaly of Interpretation
A study into Kendrick Lamar's fourth studio album, DAMN. released in 2017. This video essay considers the duality and circularity explored on this project, suggesting that multiple readings of the album are possible and in fact recommended. As Kendrick experiments with musical form, in order to manipulate time, space, memory and fiction, he makes his audience answer the critical question and make their choice... - Наука
The fact that most people consider this his worst album is insane because it is still an incredible album, Kendrick never misses
Kendrick fans got mad it got so many 95s from critics. more than tpab..
The 2017 trap sound sounds dated. DNA, YAH, XXX, LUST, and GOD are all skips for me.
@@grengrenhuskey XXX and LUST are skips? I think they're some of the best on the album.
@@grengrenhuskey XXX IS A SKIP????
Sonically half of the album…it’s just bland and sounds washed out …and Lyrically it’s not nearly as deep as his first 3 albums. Feel is the best song on the album, by far stands out as the only song that he brings the same level as his previous works. It’s not a “bad” album, feel fear God and element are amazing, but DNA xxx and duckworth are just alright… I find it hard to listen to lust, pride, or Yah. They just aren’t enjoyable, and no amount of hypothetical deep dive will convince me this album is anywhere NEAR as incredible as his first 3. Lyrically, conceptionally, sonically, inferior overall. Does it have a few high points? Yes. With that said, the album cover is a perfectly visual representation of the state Kendrick was in when he made Damn. Empty after dumping himself into 3 classics….stumbling around searching for real inspiration, only to have nothing to speak on other than his own difficulties doing so. For example Fear…hits all the same beats as Sing about me , or Mortal man….buts it’s clearly inferior to both. Kendrick was going through the motions 75% of this album, he was depressed. That’s why he disappeared after releasing it. That’s also why Feel is the only song that FEELS like it has life to it. It’s basically everything he wanted to say on the album, in one song.
If DAMN is the worst album you’ve produced, then you are the best rapper on the planet.
criminally underrated video
what does this mean. Who has been critically rating this video.
Bro it just came out
this is too underrated, much love bro! and the loop is amazing too
the loop sucks, but it is a great video.
Crazy how it’s his worst studio album but still a 10/10
Kendrick is a master of many aspects of music but the flow that he has to the track lists on his albums is astonishing. I love DAMN. The fact that the album flows perfectly forwards and backwards is crazy.
kendrick expressed this was his favorite album because it was a mix of all his albums up till then
I don’t understand why y’all think that Blood is wickedness he literally goes out of his way to help someone.

I am proud to be the 56th viewer of this video
Edit: shit was fire
Well....DAMN.
Wow what a video
this video is so good god damn
GOD.
DAMN.
this so goated
subbed and praying for you to hit the algorithm
You decide
from what I read and understand, it is believed that when DAMN. played from backwards (also know as Collector's Edition), the story is told from the view of weakness (not only weakness as a good sign, but weakness to resist the temptation) and the original version tells a story about wickedness
Isn't it opposite? Original version warns Kendrick on first track, he starts thinking about decisions he makes and doesn't die. Backwards order makes him lose his father at the very beginning and the last track BLOOD. makes him die from "Blind Justice", because as he mentioned, his father died in this incident and he choosed path of living in the streets - wickedness.
Remember me when you get 1 mil
why does this have so few views?
Step 1:
press play
DAMN, you need more subscribers (haha get it)
54 subscribers? Holy shit
26 views?
33rd viewer weeee
YAH = YAHWEH
yo keep grinding bro
Nice video but a lot of this is just reaching, or assuming the cinematography shot after was thought of during him writing. Sonically half of the album…it’s just bland and sounds washed out …and Lyrically it’s not nearly as deep as his first 3 albums. Feel is the best song on the album, by far stands out as the only song that he brings the same level as his previous works. It’s not a “bad” album, feel fear God and element are amazing, but DNA xxx and duckworth are just alright… I find it hard to listen to lust, pride, or Yah. They just aren’t enjoyable, and no amount of hypothetical deep dive will convince me this album is anywhere NEAR as incredible as his first 3. Lyrically, conceptionally, sonically, inferior overall. Does it have a few high points? Yes. With that said, the album cover is a perfectly visual representation of the state Kendrick was in when he made Damn.
