For Sam
ShonNow this is actually one of my least favorite Kendrick albums and I would probably be crucified for this statement by many people, but its not bad at all. Even the worst Kendrick album is better than Drake's entire discog imo. But the reason I reccomend it to you is that it has extreme mainstream appeal. It's probably his most popular album and is full of radio hits so I picture you enjoying this one the most.
Kendrick Lamar's DAMN. explores themes of damnation, duality, faith, and survival, telling a story about life, death, and the internal struggle with wickedness vs. weakness, which Kendrick confirmed can be played in reverse to reveal an alternate narrative of his fate. It's a deeply personal journey through religious questioning, racial politics, and the pressures of fame, framed by biblical references and culminating in a choice between succumbing to his flaws or finding redemption, with the album's title reflecting this profound, sometimes cursed, existence.

SLUG TOP 💯
Salty P. SlugMy most-played album of 2017 by far, and definitely my favorite era of Kendrick Lamar. I love all his shit, but this is the perfect meeting of his cutting lyricism and bombast. My favorite is a tie between "PRIDE." and "LUST."

My top 50 Albums of all time.
GwydianKendrick has earned his staple as the best rapper pushing the game right now. I won't pretend to relate to everything he explains on this album but on a basic primal level it resonates with me, LOVE, LUST, PRIDE and FEAR. The production had genuine passion on this record and it sparks drive in me whenever I listen to it. Therefore it's great when I need to get shit done and I put this through my headphones and take a few deep breaths as BLOOD plays and then shit starts buzzing and I get it done.

Hankz's favorite albums
Hank SmithOne of, if not THE best rap albums of all time. It uses story telling in songs to the maximum whilst still adding a plot twist and each song being good individually.
