      Kendrick be like :
      What's up family, yeah it's yo cousin Carl man, just given' you a call man
      I know you been havin' a lot on yo mind lately
      And I know you feel like ya know people ain't been prayin' for you
      But you have to understand this man, that we are a cursed people
      Deuteronomy 28:28 says
      "The Lord shall smite thee with madness, and blindness
      And astonishment of heart."
      See family that's why you feel like
      You feel like you got a chip on your shoulder
      Until you finally get the memo, you will always feel that way
      Why God, why God do I gotta suffer?
      Pain in my heart carry burdens full of struggle
      Why God, why God do I gotta bleed?
      Every stone thrown at you restin' at my feet
      Why God, why God do I gotta suffer?
      Earth is no more, why don't you burn this mufucka?
      I beat yo' ass, keep talkin' back
      I beat yo' ass, who bought you that?
      You stole it, I beat yo' ass if you say that game is broken
      I beat yo' ass if you jump on my couch
      I beat yo' ass if you walk in this house with tears in your eyes
      Runnin' from poopoo and 'prentice
      Go back outside, I beat yo' ass, lil nigga
      That homework better be finished, I beat yo' ass
      Yo' teachers better not be bitchin' 'bout you in class
      That pizza better not be wasted, you eat it all
      That TV better not be loud if you got it on
      Them Jordans better not get dirty when I just bought 'em
      Better not hear 'bout you humpin' on Keisha's daughter
      Better not hear you got caught up, I beat yo' ass
      You better not run to your father, I beat yo' ass
      You know my patience runnin' thin
      I got beaucoup payments to make
      County building's on my ass
      Tryna take my food stamps away
      I beat yo' ass if you tell them social workers he live here
      I beat yo' ass if I beat yo' ass twice and you still here
      Seven years old, think you run this house by yourself?
      Nigga, you gon' fear me if you don't fear no one else
      If I can smoke fear away, I roll that motherfucker up
      And then I take two puffs
      I'm high now, I'm high now
      I'm high now, I'm high now
      Life's a bitch, pull them panties to the side now
      I'll prolly die anonymous
      I'll prolly die with promises
      I'll prolly die walkin' back home from the candy house
      I'll prolly die 'cause these colors are standin' out
      I'll prolly die because I ain't know Demarcus was snitchin'
      I'll prolly die at these house parties, fuckin' with bitches
      I'll prolly die from witnesses leavin' me false accused
      I'll prolly die from thinkin' that me and your hood was cool
      Or maybe die from pressin' the line, actin' too extra
      Or maybe die because these smokers
      Are more than desperate
      I'll prolly die from one of these bats and blue badges
      Body slammed on black and white paint, my bones snappin'
      Or maybe die from panic or die from bein' too lax
      Or die from waitin' on it, die 'cause I'm movin' too fast
      I'll prolly die tryna buy weed at the apartments
      I'll prolly die tryna diffuse two homies arguin'
      I'll prolly die 'cause that's what you do when you're 17
      All worries in a hurry, I wish I controlled things
      If I could smoke fear away, I'd roll that mothafucka up
      And then I'd take two puffs
      I've been hungry all my life
      I'm high now, I'm high now
      I'm high now, I'm high now
      Life's a bitch, pull them panties to the side now, now
      When I was 27, I grew accustomed to more fear
      Accumulated 10 times over throughout the years
      My newfound life made all of me magnified
      How many accolades do I need to block denial?
      The shock value of my success put bolts in me
      All this money, is God playin' a joke on me?
      Is it for the moment and will he see me as Job?
      Take it from me and leave me worse than I was before?
      At 27, my biggest fear was losin' it all
      Scared to spend money, had me sleepin' from hall to hall
      Scared to go back to Section 8 with my mama stressin'
      30 shows a month and I still won't buy me no Lexus
      What is an advisor somebody that's holdin' my checks?
      Just to fuck me over and put my finances in debt?
      I read a case about Rihanna's accountant and wondered
      How did the bad girl feel when she looked at them numbers?
      The type of shit'll make me flip out
      And just kill somethin', drill somethin'
      Get ill and fill ratchets with a lil' somethin'
      I practiced runnin' from fear, guess I had some good luck
      At 27 years old, my biggest fear was bein' judged
      How they look at me reflect on myself, my family, my city
      What they say 'bout me reveal
      If my reputation would miss me
      What they see from me
      Would trickle down generations in time
      What they hear from me
      Would make 'em highlight my simplest lines
      I'm talkin' fear, fear of losin' creativity
      I'm talkin' fear, fear of missin' out on you and me
      I'm talkin' fear, fear of losin' loyalty from pride
      'cause my DNA won't let me involve in the light of God
      I'm talkin' fear, fear that my humbleness is gone
      I'm talkin' fear, fear that love ain't livin' here no more
      I'm talkin' fear, fear that it's wickedness or weakness
      Fear, whatever it is, both is distinctive
      Fear, what happens on Earth stays on Earth
      And I can't take these feelings
      With me so hopefully they disperse
      Within fourteen tracks, carried out over wax
      Searchin' for resolutions until somebody get back
      Fear, what happens on earth stays on earth
      And I can't take these feelings with me
      So hopefully they disperse
      Within fourteen tracks, carried out over wax
      Wonderin' if I'm livin' through fear or livin' through rap
      Damn
      Goddamn you
      Goddamn me
      Goddamn us
      Goddamn we
      Goddamn us all
      Therefore I will punish you for all your iniquities
      So until we come back to these commandments
      Until you come back to these commandments
      We're gonna be in this place, we're gonna be under this curse
      Because he said he's gonna punish us
      The so-called Blacks, Hispanics, and Native American Indians
      Are the true children of Israel
      We are the Israelites according to the Bible
      The children of Israel, he's gonna punish us for our iniquities
      For our disobedience because we chose to follow other gods
      That aren't his son, so the Lord thy God chasten you
      So just like you'll chasten your own son
      He's gonna chasten you because he loves you
      So that's why we get chastised, that's why we're in the position we're in
      Until we come back to these laws, statutes and commandments
      And do what the Lord said, these curses are gonna be upon us
      We're gonna be at a lower state in this life that we live here in today
      In the United States of America
      I love you, son, and I pray for you
      God bless you, shalom

      What do you mean 'changing my mind'? My dude, listen to the album. Get a general feel for it, and create an opinion on it. Listen to Fantano's take on it, and compare your opinions. Is everything Fantano says sound? Just because he's an intelligent critic who sounds like he knows what he's talking about doesn't mean he doesn't make mistakes, or that his opinion is the most reasonable. ACTUALLY LISTEN TO HIM instead of making up a belief and stubbornly clinging to it and ignoring what others say (not particularly directed towards you but for other people here), or immediately changing your opinion because a critic sounds smarter and says so and so.
      Not only that, even if a critic reviews an album harshly, you can still love an album for other reasons, like sentimental value. For example, Anthony trashes J.Cole all the time (and I'm gonna be honest, I share some of his feelings), but I still love Cole's tracks and albums because of the experience they've provided me, even if they're not the most professionally and artistically put together pieces of work.

    KENDRICK'S FATHER BEING SHOT WOULD NOT HAVE LED TO KENDRICK NOT BEING BORN. HE SAYS "COULD HAVE GROWN UP WITHOUT A FATHER." IT WOULD HAVE LED TO KENDRICK BECOMING THE FATHERLESS RAPPER AKA KUNG FU KENNY. In my opinion if you play this album backwards (the DJ says "WE GON PLAY IT IN REVERSE on Duckworth) it tells a different story. EDIT: that's where i feel like Humble gets its additional meaning. In itself it has nothing deep but if you view it as the alternate reality kendrick that would have existed if his dad didn't then it becomes more interesting. The "all over the place" sound is because he's one rapper half the time and the other rapper the other half of the time. BLOOD and DUCKWORTH are interchangeable intros and outros. I think it's called "Damn." Cause he's realizing the butterfly effect thing and how that small thing at KFC put him where he is now.

BLOWN away by the fact that he thought kendrick agreed with carl’s voicemail and that’s why he put it on FEAR. like why would kendrick make a whole track about the various ways fear has impacted his life and Black people’s lives as a whole then be like “by the way i think racism is our fault because we upset god.” maybe it’s just me but the voicemail was very clearly not presented as a positive thing or something he agreed with. he played the whole thing without interrupting it to show how deeply the fearmongering of the catholic church had affected his cousin, to the extent that he would call his cousin who was struggling to leave this drawn out raving voicemail about how their people’s suffering was their own fault. it was an example of someone whose life is controlled by fear. maybe i’m wrong or maybe you just need to be raised catholic (or similar religions mb) to understand idk lmao

    But isn't the "Deutoronomy reference" the whole point? That despite creating TPAB Kendrick is still consumed by the self hatred propagated by Fox News, and even his own Christian guilt and the self-hatred that the Bible itself can instil. This whole album is a deliberate juxtaposition of TPAB. DAMN. is drawn from some of the very images explored on TPAB 'He knows the bible too' and 'the hypocrite.' TPAB is about becoming something beautiful. DAMN. is about exploring Kendrick's uglyness.
    Each one of Kentdrick's albums often respond to the conceit of the prior album. GKMC is about escaping your environment. TPAB is about returning home and seeing the beauty in your environment, and the beauty in himself as a black man. DAMN. is him once again wrestling with self-hatred. He is still the "hypocrite" from The Blacker the Berry, despite attempting to raise himself and his community with the conscious pro-black themes on TPAB. No where is this more evident than on XXX where a friend from his community turns to him for his conscious spiritual outlook and he reveals his darker side.
    I could go on and on, but as you say this is a record that's very much left up to the listeners own interpretation, but I think it's an album that has to be analysed within the context of its body of work lyrically. There are songs on this album that revisit thoughts and moments from both GKMC and TPAB from a more twisted perspective, and I think that is really the point of this album. It's Kendrick wrestling with his personal demons, and pondering the futility of it all as his life could have been easily derailed with just wrong misstep by Ducky or Top. Does he have God to thank for that fortunate twist of fate? Even whilst God is making him suffer? That duality is what holds everything together at the heart of this album, whilst leaving everything more open with a deft attention to lyrical minimalism.
    I personally feel it deserves a strong 8 to soft 9 and is a welcome addition to Kendrick's catalogue.
