DAMN., 2017
Written by Kendrick Lamar, Michael Williams II, and Asheton Hogan
I know very little about Lamar, except what I heard from his beef with Drake last year, and a few tracks from To Pimp a Butterfly, all of which I liked. With a sparse beat featuring guitar, bass, and piano, this one is light on the beat switches he seems to be known for and is more about the message. Although the chorus "Sit down / be humble") is repeated way too many times for my liking, I like that even amidst all the boasting, Lamar is reminding himself to stay grounded. Rap doesn't do that much. "Ay, I remember syrup sandwiches and crime allowances / Finesse on 'em with some counterfeits, but now I'm countin' this."
