I like the new Kendrick album so far. I've only been able to give it one listen all the way through but I enjoyed it. To me it's better than TPAB just because I've never been a fan of when rappers switch from rapping to singing. TPAB just didn't have enough rapping for me.
I really like the production style of DAMN as well. More sampled/interpolated beats and mid-tempo stuff. Hard drums too so it sounds great in the car.
Is it just me or does this album remind anyone of Outkast's Aquemeni album in terms of how it's arranged? Lots of tracks with beat switches in the middle of the track and Kendrick changing his flow all over the place. Overall I'm pretty happy with it.
