Did not expect this paring to work at all, but I was pleasantly surprised.

Without failure, every Kendrick release gets better with every single new listen. After my first listen I thought this was slightly phoned in, and more of a victory lap post rap beef dub rather than anything of much substance. Now I'm thinking this might be his best release since TPAB (the jury's still out on if I prefer this to DAMN)... and I can't believe I'm saying that.

Here before he blows up

Westside Gunn once again proves he's a one trick pony.

Demo quality production combined with some incredibly grating auto-tune.
