Personally the song I think is the best is The Art of Peer Pressure, that songs intro is so melodic yet melancholy and the rest of the song is such a beautiful story told throughout. Can’t go wrong with it.

My personal favourite it probably GOOD KID or THE ART OF PEER PRESSURE. Just sounds pleasing to the ear. If we’re talking deluxe ima say BLACK BOY FLY. Gonna be honest I don’t like the project as most other people do but it is still very good, but I could never put it in one of the top Albums of all time. Maybe it’s because I don’t connect very much with his music and I don’t really enjoy his sound or style. There is great quality when it comes to lyrics and storytelling. But I don’t really fw Kendrick that much. My favourite album of his is TPAB, favourite song is “I”.But hey... I love this video!

Swimming Pools (Drank): has a strong connection to me. And Black Boy Fly: is a bonus track but it is still a wonderful song to listen to.
I’ve always said it was good kid, m.A.A.d city or Don’t Kill My Vibe or even Swimming Pools. But as I’ve gotten older and more indulged in the art of writing in general I’ve come around to marvel at the spectacular writing on Sing About Me...I have to go with that for sure.
