NO DON'T CLOSE IT!

I want to talk more about DAMN.. Why is this album so fucking good? For those who have lived with it far longer than I, what are your favorite moments and why do you think this album has resonated so much across a variety of audiences?

Excellent post, trag.

I guess it has a lot of songs that appeal to different people...seems to have a really easy structure, with choruses, guest stars like rihanna or u2.
Also, we cant forget about the marketing it had. Huge push from the label, other artists, etc...

Is that true? Did it have a huge marketing push? That's interesting. That stuff is way off my radar, so I feel like I didn't even really know about the album until after it had been out for a while.

i don't recall much marketing leading up to the album. he released a non-album song a couple of weeks before the release of the album that hinted at a new album release date.... which sent the internet and traditional media into a pretty huge frenzy. he basically made a countdown clock with a new song. he was already arguably the biggest hip-hop star at this point, so people were just feasting at the idea of surprise new music. about a week after that song, he released HUMBLE. and then a couple of weeks later, dropped the album. there was a ton of promotion afterward, for sure, but a lot of that was just completely viral due to the rave reviews it was getting. but then came the schwag, the Reeboks, the shirts, the collectors edition album, etc.

Yeah, and the build up too.

this guy seems super boring. I thought he was supposed to be the best doing it today.

too normie for me.

I felt this way until DAMN. I still have a lot of issues with him but DAMN lives up to the hype.

He's trolling, LV. Just laugh and move on.

No he’s not

I agree that he’s one of the best doing it today, but there’s way too many great rap artists to pin the title on one guy IMO.

Knowing you’re preference for southern trap, it doesn’t shock me that you’re not blown away by k dot.

I have room for both personally.

I listened to Humble and it did nothing for me and now I'm surprised because I just learned Mike Will produced it.
