KENDRICK LAMAR - Damn. 2LP exotica from the dense slivers ofA powerful, raw, personal album that does away with all the pretension and perfectionism of his last few records. Here he sounds angry, distressed, and uneasy with his exposure as a hip hop celebrity. Kendrick still experiments with new sounds (especially on Pride, Love, and career highlight XXX), but expresses these ideas in a way that is immediate and relatable. In fact, there is more variety on here than any of his previous records.
