Check out our ALBUM REACTION to Kendrick Lamar’s DAMN. go.nfrpodcast.com/Kendrick *this is not our first listen of the album

Kendrick has one of those catalogs that you could make an argument that the last one you listened to is your favorite. Speaks to his genius and quality of work.

FEAR is the most poetic piece of lyrics I think Kendrick has ever written down in my opinion.

This album is genuinely amazing! I’ve listened to this album more than any of Kendrick’s even though TPAB is my favourite album of all time. Insanely listenable and replayable

The reason why I really prefer MM&TBS is I just prefer the general sound of it more. I really like how Kendrick incorporates a lot of piano and orchestral sounding instruments throughout the album. It gives it more of like a cinematic and theatrical vibe that isn’t really common nowadays if even around at all especially in the rap scene now. I also like how it’s not only that but with songs like N95 and Silent Hill have more of a trap sound. DAMN has sort of more of an emphasis on that trap sound which I do like a lot. I personally prefer the variety of sound on MM&TBS though. Recently I have grown more of an appreciation for DAMN but I would personally rank TPAB, GKMC, and MM&TBS higher. I don’t have any problems with people that think otherwise though because my favorite Kendrick song is probably DUCKWORTH. Honestly it’s probably one of my favorite songs of all time so DAMN does have a special place in my heart. I also saw Kendrick in Boston a few weeks ago and DNA was fucking awesome live.

I think Damn is Kendrick’s most underrated project. But always you know it’s an NFR classic

The timing on this is ridiculous I just relistened to DAMN earlier today and it’s grown on me even more than I thought it could

Ant and Lu are five years late to this album 😂😂😉

DAMN. is my favorite album of all time. It’s the album that got me into Hip Hop

We need more of these classic album reviews, they’re absolutely heat

DAMN. is such an amazing album.

My K Dot ranking 1. To Pimp A Butterfly 2. Good Kid Maad City 3. Damn 4. Section 80 5. Mr. Morale and The Big Steppers

I remember the first time listening to the album. I finished duckworth, and the first word that came out of my mouth was “damn.” Then I remembered that was the name of the project; that’s when I realized it’s a perfect album

DAMN gets way too hate for being too commercial. I have TPAB as has best album and GKMC and DAMN neck and neck for number 2. Definitely the most bumpin beats on any of his albums and he gets deep on songs like fear, XXX, and duckworth. I find myself returning to DNA for the beat switch possibly more than any other Kendrick song individually. Love this project.

5 years later and I can officially call DAMN. a classic in my mind. There’s not one track on this album that’s even below average. The numbers speak for themselves, it’s one of the few albums on Spotify with 100M streams on every single track. My 2nd favourite album from Kendrick. Can’t beat the impact of GKMC

I absolutely love DAMN as an album. It’s grown with me so much and I have it at 3 in his discography behind GKMC and TPAB. Absolutely love it.

Enjoyed the revisit to this album. I remember I listened to his whole catalog before Mr Morale and DAMN impressed me even more this time around. Honestly was such an amazing album

I would love to see you guys do a lot more of these reviews of older albums. I would love for you guys to review blonde by frank ocean

Bro I have been following y’all for a while and was literally thinking a few days ago about how underrated y’all are and was wondering how you didn’t have 100k despite making such great content, and now y’all hit it! Congrats!

Great analysis and coherent debate makes for a great podcast • Good job!!

Just wanted to drop a comment saying that its been amazing to see how far you guys have come! My favorite music podcast🔥

Damn. is my favorite Kendrick album. First album I ever listened to thoroughly so it has a special place for me. All of his albums are fucken great but TPAB takes the cake. Love NFR.

This album is definitely better than MMTBS. Majority Kendrick fans hate it cuz it’s “too mainstream”, Kendrick makes TPAB and all of a sudden they swear everything’s gotta be so deep and woke LMFAO

If I could go back and listen to this for the first time, I would absolutely do so. DAMN was truly an experience from Kendrick, but what album from him isn't that?

love this channel

I saw Kendrick and Keem live last night and honestly, DAMN is my favorite project and those songs got me the most hyped.

Love the video, will you guys ever reviews other Kendrick albums or other albums from the past like Ready to Die

Hot take: NFR does better album reviews than Fantano and other populer music reviewers.

Damn probably my 3rd favorite but it changes. Fire review as always. Pleeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaase do more album reviews from albums that are already out.

nothing against lu but it was honesty really cool having a listen with just ant. especially with how much he loves this album, he was able to just pour his heart out about it on his own. love you guys

This is well Kendricks best album. I'm still watching the video... Thank you guys for this video Honestly I know that there might be better rappers than him but don't think anyone can build an album like him. His discography is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Amazing album 👌 Good take you both have on it. I agree it’s a top 3 Kendrick album

Hey ant and Lu, big fan of the channel. I’m writing an extended thesis paper on damn. can i cite your comments on the albums in my paper you took the words i had in my head and said them beautifully.

I’ll be happy once this channel has 1,000,000 subscribers

In DNA. Kendrick lists 23 things that are in his dna, just like the 23 chromosomes that are in a strand of dna

Just relistened to DAMN last night so this came at the perfect time

6:42 that’s facts after listening to the album over and over again FEEL is definitely my favorite in the track

I’m big fan of y’all boys y’all be making me step my podcast game up keep up the good work WE GOING TO GET 100K Subscribers watch We on the way

I just went to Kendrick’s mm&tbs concert and it was incredible. I was wondering have you/will you go one of his concerts?

It may not be his best album, but it's my personal favorite of his and the one I relate to the most. FEEL. and PRIDE. are also in my top 5 Kendrick songs of all time.

LOVE ft. Zacari.....is one of those timeless hip hop songs....everytime you hear it, it gets better.

would love a relisten to Taboo, and a review. would be super sick to see.

I suggest you do the reaction to the fsk (Italian trapper) their best songs are: ansia no, sudditaliano, settimana al caldo, prova del cuoco.

Toujours des bonnes vidéos les gars. +1 like

I hope Lu feels better today. ❤️

Yo can you guys please do a reasonable doubt and Illmatic which is better

This could make it into my top 5 Kendrick albums of all time

NO. DONT TELL ME ITS 2017. THAT MEANS I STILL HAVE TIME TO STOP MELON FROM GIVING DAMN A 7

I recommend everyone to watch Mallory bros and how the explained this masterpiece. Totally worth the while.

This Damn Album is an amazing project it has bangers and a ton of radio hits without loosing meaning and thats something you have to give him credit for staying in tune with himself while making something for everyone also like he said MM&BS is an amazing follow up to Damn keeping same concept but going deeper on MM&BS love damn and MM&BS they're both 8.5s for me I'll rate MM&BS a little higher because I enjoy it more but both are great

Anyone who doesn't quite understand how deep and underrated DAMN is (Cough cough Fontano) should go listen to Season 5 of the Dissect Podcast. The message and themes of DAMN really fly over a lot of peoples heads because it's masked as mainstream.

Just seen Kendrick in concert, and I was impressed. Definitely exceeded expectations. Best solo act I seen on hip hop. I seen the likes of lil Wayne jay z Eminem busta, redman lauren hill, just to name a few. Kendrick’s performance was legendary in todays standards

I hope you feel better soon Lu, sucks seeing you in this condition

Wow this is weird I just re-listened to the album yesterday. Life and its synchronicities.😱

Great review guys, I’m saying this without even listening yet haha

Just saw him in Milwaukee lastmight. Life changing fr

W video for a W album!

I prefer DAMN over TPAB tbh. In terms of the replayability and how listenable it is I just love it. There’s only a few tracks from TPAB that I can listen to out of a full album listen, but with DAMN I can have it come on in a playlist during shuffle and it works. Amazing album

Finally after 5 years I can have an opinion on Damn

U guys should start doing relistens more often.

Which song was ants fav all time

Yo what year is it!?

The dissect podcast is great their season 5 is about damn. I suggest season 7 about because the internet. Plz Review Bti u guys

Production is perfect

DAMN is my top 3 favorite Hip Hop album of all time.

even lots of Kendrick fans look down on DAMN., but that and Mr. Morale zre actually my favorites from him. i understand and appreciate the value and importance of GKMC and TPAB, but i personally do not resonate with those albums, and even as mjsic alone, they are not always good or fun to listen to. DAMN. and Mr. Morale to me are no skips, weirdly enough, despite how dark and heavy they both are. i think because sonically they are conversely more warm, minimal and also rich, in different places, thagare good to the ear. and they are both more identifiable personally rather than societally, so they function more as soundtracks to life, than a struggle or time in culture at large

Just gonna throw out a guess that the song Any is talkin about at the beginning is ELEMENT., I get those vibes from them

Hasnt aged the best for me but still great album. The hits on this got so old fast for me and 2-3 skips for me. I prefer mr morale

love how the video is sectioned off even tho ima still watch the whole video

Lyrically content is Perfection

THIS IS RANDOM BUT: before ANYONE says this masterpiece is his most underrated….. UNTITLED UNMASTERED is Kendrick’s most underrated

GOD. is the he most underrated track on this album

Can you do the college dropout please

GKMC is the best rap album of all time DAMN although it won the rewards... grows on me every time I can't lie

DAMN is the third best album for me, I agree with you. It has higher highs than Mmatbs. Not as flawless as gkmc and tpab. I liked gkmc a little bit more than tpab, but last time even this switched. Kendrick is such an amazing artist!

To this day the most innovative and forward thinking hiphop record . Nothing that has released sense has topped it.

I prefer MMATBS by far, never really liked DAMN. But to each their own, and I won’t deny its quality!

Kendrick dropped again

This his best album

Back to front is the right way to listen to it. BLOOD does 1000x better as an outro than an intro

his best album

Illmatic next please

8:46 LMFAOOOO ZACHARY 💀💀💀💀💀and then Ant was not tryna go along with that

Damn my favorite kendrick album fs it goes to show how legendary kendrick Is that this album is only top 3 in his discography 😭

FEEL is in my top 5 songs oat

Surprising it took you 5 years to check this album out it’s definitely a solid project I just don’t think it’s close to tpab and gkmc!

This is an unpopular opinion, but XXX is one of my fave Kendrick songs

where’s the cheat codes review 😭😭

Is it wickedness? Is it weakness? You deciiiiiide. Are we going to live or dieeeee?

Relisten to DAMN way before Mr morale dropped while I’ve grown to appreciate it. For the context of Kendrick as he speaks about his paranoia, life as a Celebrity & converting towards Hebrew Israelite. The commercial songs isn’t where he’s at his best. He’s at his core forefront wit songs like DNA, Element, FEEL, Fear & Lust. His vocal cadence on GOD, LOVE isn’t that strong. He encapsulated wit his best storytelling song he’s wrote in a while DUCK-WORTH. Which could’ve prevent Top Dawg & K dot from linking up revealing about the night with his former CEO & his father. solid album 7.5/10

Lust is the most underrated track on this album

k.dot is the GOAT

Top 2 kendrick

Do 4yeo next

DAMN is so gooddd

I would say TPAB, GKMC and MM&BS are all quite a bit better, but DAMN. is still an undeniable classic. The reason for it not being top three is because there are no real standout tracks that are all that unique imo

Ima be real… best album of all time

Lust is so fucking good, feel is so fucking good, pride is so fucking good, and element is so fucking good

Ahhh yess , my boredom gone

No rod wave reaction?
