The collective desire, if not greed, for another full-length LP right after DAMN. (That's less outlandish a thought than it would have been a year ago, before Frank Ocean dropped Endless and Blonde on consecutive days and Future went No. came out, there was an internet-fueled rumor that since he 'died' on Good Friday, it followed that he'd be resurrected on Easter Sunday via a surprise second album. Perhaps nothing suggests his position atop hip-hop's leaderboard more than the fact that, almost as soon as DAMN. The stunning closer, 'DUCKWORTH.,' also burnishes his reputation as one of hip-hop's most vivid storytellers, as he tells the supposedly true tale of how his label boss, Anthony 'Top Dawg' Tiffith, once came close to killing Lamar's own father 20 years ago.

At times, there's perhaps too little there I've had the album on nonstop since the minute it came out and I still can't remember what 'GOD.' or 'LOYALTY.' sound like.

Likewise, on the nearly eight-minute marathon 'FEAR.,' he invites us into his anxious mindset, where there's a thin line between confidence and venality, and any hint of success also carries with it the threat of loss. In some cases, the fractures are made obvious between songs - 'LUST.' and 'LOVE.' or 'PRIDE.' and 'HUMBLE.,' for example - but even within a track, Lamar is constantly exploring conflicts and contradictions.
