Jul 2, 2017una obra de arte, en tiempos donde el rap se orienta a letras vacias Kendrick lo hace real con produccion y liricas honestas. Actualmente ocupa le trono del hip hop

Aug 15, 2017this is the first kendrick's album that i listen in full and its diferent of what i expected. i liked, its a great album but i dont know why is so overrated, i cant see this WOW that the media and the people are giving to the album because there are bad songs like "loyalty"

Sep 28, 2019If you didn't give this a 9 or 10, you should read up on each song, and its meaning. Then give it another listen. This album has so many layers. The music is dense with different sounds, even though there are very few instruments used. K dot is a genius.

Aug 25, 2018I feel like I'm missing something but this project just really doesn't click for me as much as Kendrick's others. It still has some great singles and good themes, but I can't help but feel this is a step down from what "To Pimp a Butterfly" and "Good Kid, M.A.A.D City" achieved. It is still a Kendrick project though so objectively it's still great.

Jul 28, 2019Kendrick's "DAMN." is lyrically stellar, sonically rich and wrapped in a meticulous and thoughtful concept. I appreciate his experiments on this project, although it has not aged as well as I originally thought it would. Still, it is a terrific addition to an already stellar discography.

Apr 21, 2017I'm not too much into hip hop but this was refreshing for me, this is my first time listening to Kendrick and it might not have be as good as I hoped considering the opinion of people I mostly agree with I wasn't disappointed.

Apr 24, 2017On this album, Kendrick gives everyone something. He gives the common fan an easily accessible project. He gives his fans who love him for his complex story telling and introspection many things to think about. There are a few throwaway tracks, but overall this is not a misstep by King Kendrick. Hopefully this album ages as well as his previous projects.

May 26, 2017It's a good album, but not as good as his others. I was really hyped with "HUMBLE" being a great track, and to be honest he delivered, but some of the songs (LOYALTY) didn't have any repeat value. Still a great album - 8/10
-
May 11, 2017I liked this album and i can see that he mentioned a lot of religious stories and he seems like his kinda angry or something like that and i like it i don't find a problem but comparing to other albums especially after he dropped "to pimp a butterfly" tbh this was his worst album

Dec 20, 2017Kung Fu Kenny's masterpiece. Took a couple of listens to appreciate this album as his best work.

Aug 17, 2017It may not quite stand up to either of it's monumental predecessors, but DAMN is without question Lamar's darkest and most personal album to date, with hits that will no doubt dominate radio stations for the rest of the year.
-

Jun 23, 2017Kendrick Lamar's weakest is stronger than most rapper's best, but his weakest is still what it is. Too much pop woven into a record by an artist who has thrived away from the Top 40 and found his greatest inspiration in the shadows away from the radio airwaves, and within the realms of deeper political commentary and jazz fusion.. Less Rihanna features, more Thundercat and Kamasi Washington.
-
Jun 26, 2017This album is good, but no where near as good as To Pimp a Butterfly or good kid m.A.A.d city. Though this album is overall enjoyable only a couple of songs are really good, (Humble, DNA, Element, and XXX)

Jul 16, 2017DAMN. is so deep album. Everyone needs to feel it! Ten! Already have top of favorite tracks. It will be good if we saw a feat. with Eminem, Dre, The Game.

May 26, 2018DAMN. What a fantastic album from a fantastic creator. Kendrick drops some great bars and has some of the sickest flows of the year. I can't wait to hear what he does next.

Jul 28, 2017Os produtores Sounwave e Martin sempre de parabéns. Quanta qualidade. Os vocais ficaram e as batidas ousadas brincando com a realidade do álbum, desafiando o conceito de qualidade... Parabéns!
Melhores: Loyalty, Blood e DNA. -

Aug 16, 2017Damn has become the new benchmark for Rap/hip-hop in respect to skill, storytelling, and literary elements. Damn has become an instant classic and the epitome of the rise of conscious rap.
-
Aug 18, 2017
-
Aug 21, 2017Kendrick Lamar is able to consistently dish out albums or songs that have strong tones and values he wants to express, and DAMN is a superlative example of that.

Sep 2, 2017A deep and truly fantastic album from Kendrick. Kendrick brings a unique sound to this album and does not focus on the generic topics that rappers bring up and instead brings up real social issues. This album might not be for everyone, but the quality of this album is clear if you have an ounce of tone awareness.
-
Sep 4, 2017IMO this is a classic hip hop album, on par with the 'all time great' albums throughout hip hop history. I asked myself, "is this on par with my personal favorites such as "It Was Written" by Nas, and I absolutely believe it is..
-
Sep 4, 2017Kendrick keeping the gold standard of a rap album alive all whilst moving to a more mainstream sound. Every emotion is described in this masterpiece and Kung Fu Kenny's newest addition keeps him well in the debate of GOAT
-
Dec 29, 2017Kendrick continues to give everything he has to the records that he puts out. Though Damn. is arguably not as strong as previous endeavors, he continues to give a look into his reality through strong, undeniable lyrics and potent samples that lead us through a story of struggle and it’s enchanting. Tracks that stand out are “DNA.”, “XXX.”, and “FEAR.”.

Sep 24, 2017its the best of kendrick from good kid maad city mixed with best of kendrick from to pimp a butterfly in a perfect molded album with mainstream hits mixed in with kendricks deep content from untitled unmastered and to pimp a butterfly

Nov 30, 2017SERVING rap extravaganza with the help of RIhanna, U2 and more, Kendrick Lamar levels-up the game making it untouchable. One of the best rap albums ever contains pain, fear, love, loyalty and ethics mixed with vulnerable poetry at it's finest.
PRO TIP: listen to the album backwards.
Highlights: DNA., ELEMENT., LOYALTY. (FEAT. RIHANNA.), HUMBLE., LUST. -

Nov 9, 2017Один из лучших альбомов 2017 года. Кендрик даже переплюнул свой прошлый альбом,что казалось практически невозможно.Альбом прекрасен со всех сторон: и в плане музыки и в плане текста.

Mar 3, 2018Kendrick Lamar makes his comeback in 2017 after his 2015 album To Pimp A Butterfly with trap elements that work better than most other trap songs and get his biggest mainstream success he definitely deserves.
Best: DNA, HUMBLE, LOYALTY, LOVE, DUCKWORTH, XXX
Worst: GOD -

May 21, 2018Kendrick Lamar released his attempt at trap music with 'DAMN.' and it is incredible. It really makes you wonder what the sonic limit to this man is. He's viable and adaptable, witty and wordy; everything current rap music needs.
-
Dec 21, 2018It's one of the best rap albums I've heard, the critics fit perfectly into the songs and their compositions are incredible. The mixes of the songs, are completely perfect and without details and would say that it is one of the best albums of this generation. Amazing!
-
May 22, 2018oh my gooosh..............................................................................

Jun 1, 2018Not as good as To Pimp A Butterfly and not as meaningful, but I would be lying if I said i didn't like this album. The new direction Kendrick takes is fire af. Lots of great tracks (DNA, FEAR, HUMBLE, LOVE, XXX), though a couple of meh songs do bring it down a little for me (GOD and DUCKWORTH)
-
Jun 2, 2018Try to be two things at once while pulling at each other. Feels more messy with its message compared to pimp or good
-
Jun 11, 2018Its like a big journey. This will be one of the big classics of the 2010s (just like the two Kendrick LPs before) This is one of that albums I'd like to show my kids one day so I can be sure that they are gonna listen to great timeless music!
-
Dec 3, 2018A good, but not great album. Kendrick submits to the pop culture and goes more mainstream than we are used to, but still provides us a high quality album. Kendrick Lamar still impresses with his impeccable flow and manipulation of his voice to express diffferent tones to match the beats he is rapping over.
-
Jul 23, 2018This album has a unique sound that makes it very enjoyable and fresh. K-Dot really did well with this one, despite having some flaws in this album.
-
Jul 6, 2018Amazing storytelling, and it just shows Lamar's overall thoughts of modern day issues. "DNA", "ELEMENT", and "XXX" all shows Lamar speaking up of current problems with an intense tone of rapping. Extremely diverse and a must listen.
-
Nov 16, 2020Easily Kendrick's worst album yet. Quite inconsistent and features songs that I genuinely hate (LOYALTY. & LOVE.). Of course, there are some fantastic tracks in here, such as ELEMENT., PRIDE., XXX. & DUCKWORTH. but overall, I have pretty mixed feelings about it.

Apr 23, 2019This is one of the best hip hop albums of all time not kendrick's best but I would put it below good Kid Maad city but it's really amazing good bars and punchlines and also the beats are on point.

Dec 9, 2018Another great album from K Dot. Songs like HUMBLE, ELEMENT, DNA, XXX, LOYALTY, LOVE ME are masterpieces. Congrats!

Mar 20, 2020Nearly three years later, DAMN. is still a delightfully magnificent album which stands strong in Lamar’s discography.

May 2, 2019Masterpiece in every single way, I love how he keeps defying every expectation you can have of him, How he reinvents his music and it's worthy to mention I wasn't a Kendrick's fan before this.
-
Nov 19, 2019Awesome Album waiting on the next one. Kendrick Lamar one of the best new artist blowing breathe on the Mic.
-
May 28, 2019This album solidifies Kendrick's place as the greatest ever. Coming up with more topics to talk about really shows how philosophical he is. He is great. The best.

Jun 29, 2019Pretty great album. This album is filled with bangers and is still quite enjoyable even a couple years later.
-
Jul 11, 2019Leaner and cleaner, this is a fine album. I don't think it is as experimental, groundbreaking or surpising as TPAB, but it is still good.
-
Aug 17, 2019DAMN IS A 7.
Best Tracks:Humble,DNA,Blood,Element, Loyalty,Love,XXX,
Worst Tracks:Pride,Lust, -
May 9, 2020“What they hear from me make em highlight my simplest lines” Unfortunately, to know the true amazing glory of this album that’s exactly what you have to do. DAMN brilliant. Top 5 Best Tracks: FEAR, DUCKWORTH, FEEL, XXX, PRIDE

Nov 2, 2019Overrated. Songs like YAH, FEAR, and GOD are really boring and HUMBLE is bad and gets on my nerves. ELEMENT, DUCKWORTH, FEEL and DNA are really, really good but those 4 songs aren't enough to carry this album past an unimpressive 7. To Pimp A Butterfly and Good Kid, Maad City are much better albums.
-
Nov 2, 2019Kendrick Lamar hits hard with some of the best lyrical showcasing in modern hip-hop.
-
Nov 3, 2019Kendrick is great he shows off good flows,and tells meaningful messages. The production on the album is very good,but not as experimental as his other works. This is probably his most commercial work to date, but great none the less. Totally worth a listen!
-
Dec 7, 2019This is a Classic. When you listen all tracks with lyrics you will understood what i’m saying.

The WireAug 8, 2017A less deranged response to celebrity than Kanye West’s Yeezus, more imaginative than Eminem’s The Marshall Mathers LP or Lil Wayne’s Tha Carter III, it shares with the former an economy of form, and with the latter two the giddy energy of an artist coming into perfect sync with their audience. It’s also a sumptuous sounding pop record, polite streamlined mass market psychedelia. [Jun 2017, p.64]
-
Jul 5, 2017The beats are heavy, spare, and hard. Lamar demonstrates the versatility of his flow.
-
May 25, 2017DAMN. sees the rapper make a 180 degree turn from the sprawling jazz/funk/hip-hop odyssey of TPAB to deliver 14 taut, tough and wise cutting-edge examples of what’s possible in hip-hop today. ... Essential stuff.
