I'm glad Pitchfork gave it a good score, because it deserves to shine, but I don't even bother with their reviews anymore.
What do you think about the vid I posted?

It's not better than DAMN.
It's more joyful and up-my-traditionalist-alley than DAMN., but that album is pushing on some boundaries that I don't think are fully clear to us yet. DAMN. is not carried by the production, its carried by Kendrick's vision. BLIND/DNA and DUCKWORTH. put that album on a completely different level.
I think 4:44 is awesome as fuck, but I think the best part of it is the instrumentation and production. Jay's rapping has always been really good, but it's the samples and flow and mood that make 4:44 great. No ID has outdone himself.
