The tweets are talking and we’re listening. Here are what folks are saying about the new music out this week from Kendrick Lamar, Rich Homie Quan, Lil Yachty and Playboy Carti.
Damn by Kendrick LamarK-Dot’s fourth album features 14 tracks, including features from U2 and Rihanna, and production from Mike Will Made-It, The Alchemist, 9th Wonder and more. Here’s what people are saying:
- Kendrick dropped DAMN, Drake dropped More Life, but when is @LILBTHEBASEDGOD gonna drop Black Ken. I need it BASEDGOD
- So Kendrick is gonna wind up winning MVP I guess.
- Kendrick, Chance and Thugger pushing rap creatively right now in 3 totally different directions and they're all beautiful.
- I feel like calling Kendrick brilliant at this point is redundant, buuut yeah: He's brilliant. DAMN is brilliant. Go buy it.
- Y'all thought XXX was gonna be wack cause of U2 huh? Kendrick knows how to use artist the right way, don't doubt his creativity.
- Kendrick gave U2 a feature just to prove he can literally rap over anything and kill it.
Playboy Carti by Playboy Carti The Atlanta rapper comes through with his debut mixtape. The 15-track project features ASAP Rocky, Lil’ Uzi Vert and more. Here’s what people are saying:
- Listening to Carti after Kendrick is like getting a new kidney then ripping it out of your body.
- I ain't gon hold you but this Playboi Carti smokin that Kendrick jawn.
- Crazy how we now measure time in BC and AC -- before Carti and after Carti.
- Hearing this Carti tape start with "la musica de harry fraud" makes me so happy.
- Carti did his thing, I can’t even lie.
Back to the Basics by Rich Homie QuanThe 11-track project features only one guest appearance, from a guy named Cyko. Here’s what people are saying:
- Whoever told Rich Homie Quan it was a good idea to drop an album the same day as Kendrick should be fired.
- Wow that Rich Gang project without Rich Homie Quan was supposed to come out today but instead we got a new Quan solo album.
- Actually more excited to listen to Rich Homie Quan album than Kendrick. Don't at me.
- Rich Homie Quan really could've been as big as Young Thug.
- Sad watching Rich Homie Quan go from being the best rapper in the world in 2014 on Tha Tour to droppin a album 3 years later with no buzz at all.
“Peek a Boo featuring Migos” and “Harley” by Lil YachtyLil Boat came through with two new singles. Here’s what people are saying:
- Can’t lie, Peek a Boo with Yachty and Migos is pretty flames.
- The irony of people trashing Lil Yachty and them while rocking with Kendrick’s “God”? No comment.
- Lil Yachty is one of those rappers who is clearly just having fun and doing what he likes. Art is different for everyone.
