Link me with your review.

On my first listen i liked it, it felt complete. Really liked the production and the overall feel to it.
But on the second listen, I just focused on the album, didn't do anything else, just me & the music. It really helped me understand Kendrick's story on this, his emotions, his struggles. You really need to focus listening to this, it's different, I never heard anything like this. Fantastic album.

True i know i just never perceived it as "jazz-rap" i always saw it as simply being rap music haha so when everyone was naming is jazz-rap sounded weird as haha

Yeah it's pretty.. Left of centre. There's been a few albums scattered over the past twenty years but never a real movement. Tbh it's where jazz started though, the free association with people getting on stage and doing spoken word over jazz music
