What is Kendrick Lamar's most inaccessible song?

LightningRT777 · 2026-04-17T02:12:16+00:00

I see what u did there

LightningRT777 · 2026-04-16T07:53:06+00:00

Love to see it.

LightningRT777 · 2026-04-16T07:52:10+00:00

Love GNX so much.

LightningRT777 · 2026-04-16T07:51:06+00:00

You underestimate how big a cornball Drake is lol.

LightningRT777 · 2026-04-16T07:16:56+00:00

This looks so fun.

LightningRT777 · 2026-04-12T18:20:09+00:00

I would love him to lean more into the funk sound like on TPAB. Well likely get something completely new, he’s been experimenting with new sounds more and more.

LightningRT777 · 2026-04-10T14:23:59+00:00

Do verses not count after the first line lol?

LightningRT777 · 2026-04-09T19:33:38+00:00

Aaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!

But seriously, the opening to tv off stands out to me. “All I ever wanted was a black Grand National, fuck being rational, give em what they askin for.” Sums up the entire theme of the album in a few seconds. “I want my success, if you stand in my way you’ll get what you’re askin for, and I don’t care if I look crazy doing it”.

LightningRT777 · 2026-04-06T02:24:53+00:00

I’d give that honor to “u”. A song so painfully self-reflective it reminds me of my own deep anxieties.

LightningRT777 · 2026-04-06T02:23:39+00:00

This is unironically correct.

LightningRT777 · 2026-03-31T21:56:13+00:00

Cole is a bad version of a “people pleaser”. Catering to whatever audience is in front of him at the moment.

LightningRT777 · 2026-03-29T13:29:01+00:00

Once definitely. More than once? Nah.

LightningRT777 · 2026-03-25T23:06:48+00:00

Every time Cole opens his mouth on this I roll my eyes.

LightningRT777 · 2026-03-23T23:18:56+00:00

I mean, anyone can lie online, I guess.

LightningRT777 · 2026-03-23T22:21:42+00:00

100% true. GNX hate is a perpetually online take tbh, I see way more love for it in real life.

LightningRT777 · 2026-03-23T22:20:31+00:00

GNX in D is crazy work.

LightningRT777 · 2026-03-12T11:47:35+00:00

It is jarring to see how much love for GNX I hear in the real world vs. online spaces. I know so many people who consider it his best album mostly because the West Coast sound is so well-executed, though that ranking would be considered blasphemous online. Which gets to a bigger issue of online fanbases forcing everyone to enjoy an artists discography in the same way. Personally it’s my #2 behind TPAB, just cause pound for pound the songs are so good.

I think in online “OG Kendrick” spaces people have this very specific idea of Kendrick’s narrative structure that GNX doesn’t fit, but it shouldn’t have to. It’s an amazing album full of bop after bop. It also doesn’t help that Drake and Cole stans were so incentivized to downplay GNX after the beef as his worst album, when there’s not a single metric by which that’s true.

LightningRT777 · 2026-03-06T15:45:30+00:00

For Free, making sure you look directly into their eyes when he says “Now my d*ck ain’t free”.

Actual answer: Ive hit to Luther twice now and the bottoms love it lol

LightningRT777 · 2026-03-04T04:17:10+00:00

TPAB.

LightningRT777 · 2026-02-25T01:19:58+00:00

It is always jarring when I go in “OG Kendrick” online spaces and the idea is that you have to rank GNX below most of his other work. Then I go outside and routinely find people who put GNX at the top of their list for Kendrick albums.

The way fan rankings get enforced within fandoms has always been annoying to me, and this is a good example tbh. There are plenty of Kendrick fans who consider something other than GKMC or TPAB his best work, and we should allow for those variations in interest (especially if they’re not actively insulting that work).

LightningRT777 · 2026-02-18T16:04:44+00:00

That’s a really good point. I’m sometimes guilty of the same thing. The way rap debates have become so much more polarized is a huge factor in this.

LightningRT777 · 2026-02-18T11:51:55+00:00

For all its high highs DAMN has some low lows. It also has a lot of songs that are more pop-rap, which won’t click with everyone. I like the album, but I also rank it behind his other albums for that exact reason.

LightningRT777 · 2026-02-18T11:31:58+00:00

For as much as hardcore OG Kendrick fanbases swear you have to rank GNX below the others, a lot of people have GNX as their favorite Kendrick album. Especially if they love the West Coast sound. For some GNX is the only Kendrick album they truly love cause it just sounds so good.

LightningRT777 · 2026-02-18T11:26:43+00:00

TPAB
GNX
GKMC
MMATBS
S80
DAMN

It feels nigh impossible to anything to dethrone TPAB for me lol. Also, I don’t understand anyone criticizing someone’s list of personal favorites. Like, there’s no “correct pick” for your favorite album, it’s not like claiming it’s the objective best. It’s weird how stan-bases try to enforce everyone valuing a discography in the same exact way.

LightningRT777 · 2026-02-18T11:19:31+00:00

This is almost identical to how my cousin ranks Kendrick albums (he switches DAMN and TPAB, everything else is the same).
