All that to say... there's just no way this is the only thing Kendrick has on deck. Sounds like this album came together really quickly. And that blows my mind! But also, get ready... Something else is coming and I can't fucking wait!
i just hope for father john misty's sake it's not dropped on the same day as one of his albums again.
Tillman will be fine.
I'm more interested to see what happens to the Warriors if he drops a second record!

By chance, is the podcast the 2 hour special episode of "Dissect"?
Cole Cuchna flirts with Stan level of fandom when it comes to Kendrick, but his deep dives are something else.
Damn near made me cry on a plane listening to the season about "In Rainbows".
*Edit: About sounding like 2Pac/Eminem on "reincarnated"... He sounds closer to "King Kunta" to these dumb ears.

Twas indeed.
I love his (Cole's) love for Kendrick. But that dude he brings on to talk about Jesus all the time is a drip. I think the analysis is still worth it but man...

I'm sold.
Now debating whether I need to get the standard black vinyl or a variant.

I hope I never listen to enough hip-hop/rap to be someone who calls beats whack. This is one of those real cases where ignorance is truly bliss.

Okay, I lied. I'm back just to say I miss the absurdly sophisticatd beats of TPAB. Where's Thundercat when you need him?

Also, there's nothing wrong with enjoying these beats, Joe. You strike me as someone who appreciates the concept and lyrics more anyway. I'm just a normie who needs that doof doof in my hip hop.

I've listened to GNX front to back about eight times now. This is a top 3 record of the year.
