The album has been categorized asconscious hip-hop , but also incorporates elements oftrap ,contemporary R&B , andpop . Prior to the album's release, Lamar released a promotional single, "The Heart Part 4 ". In the months that followed, Lamar released three singles from the album; "Humble " was released in March 2017, "Loyalty " in June 2017, and "Love " in October 2017, the first of which became Lamar's first number-one single on the USBillboard Hot 100 as a lead artist.
Damn received widespread acclaim from critics, with many naming the album one of the best albums of 2017 and the decade. The album topped the USBillboard 200 with 603,000album-equivalent units earned in its first week and topped the chart of Canada while reaching number two in Australia, Belgium, Denmark, Ireland, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, and the United Kingdom. It has since been certifiedtriple platinum by theRecording Industry Association of America (RIAA) in May 2018 and was theBillboard Year-End number one album of 2017. The album earned Lamar the 2018Pulitzer Prize for Music , the first time an artist outside of theclassical andjazz genres received the honor. It also earned theBest Rap Album at the2018 Grammy Awards . In 2020,Damn was ranked 175th onRolling Stone ' s updated list of "The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time ".
Recording and production [ edit ] The beat for "Humble " was developed byMike Will with the intention of recording withGucci Mane , but later showed it toKendrick Lamar . After recording, it was initially agreed upon that it would be released on Mike Will's debut albumRansom 2 , but others convinced Lamar to keep it for his own next album.[ 1]
"DNA " was the second song from the album to be recorded by Lamar and Mike Will, after "Humble". After the first verse of "DNA" was recorded with the beat that Mike Will had already prepared, Lamar started rapping the second versea cappella , requesting that Mike Will build the beat around the rhymes. Lamar proposed that it sound like "chaos", and Mike Will put together the second half of the song with the intention to make it "sound like he's battling the beat".[ 1]
Lamar has said in interviews that the ability to play the album in reverse tracklist order was "premeditated ... in the studio": "It plays as a full story and even a better rhythm. It's one of my favorite rhythms and tempos within the album".[ 2]
Damn has been characterized asconscious rap [ 3] with elements oftrap ,[ 4] [ 5] [ 6] R&B ,[ 6] [ 7] andpop .[ 6]
On April 11, 2017, Lamar revealed the cover artwork forDamn .[ 8] [ 9] The album cover was designed by Vlad Sepetov, who created the album covers for two of Lamar's projects –To Pimp a Butterfly andUntitled Unmastered . Sepetov describedDamn ' s cover as "loud and abrasive" and "not uber political likeTo Pimp a Butterfly but it has energy".[ 10] Sepetov goes on to say the decision to put theParental Advisory sticker in its unconventional position (near the center-right of the frame) was so it could be a part of the design instead of an "afterthought".[ 10] Billboard listed the cover as one of the best of 2017, dubbing it "bothmeme -able and memorable".[ 11]
In a radio interview on June 29, 2017, Lamar revealed the original title for the album was going to beWhat Happens on Earth Stays on Earth , but eventually settled onDamn . He stated the working title "didn't read right".[ 12] Lamar went on to say about its final title, "There was so many different ways you could put it in my head. Damned if I do, damned if I don't. The loudness of the record. When I think about 'DNA', when I think of "Humble", when I think these records, it just felt like that."[ 12]

Damn was met with widespread critical acclaim. AtMetacritic , which assigns anormalized rating out of 100 to reviews from professional publications, the album received anaverage score of 95, based on 39 reviews.[ 30] Aggregator AnyDecentMusic? gave it 9.1 out of 10, based on their assessment of the critical consensus.[ 29]
Andy Kellman ofAllMusic stated that "it contains some of Lamar's best writing and performances, revealing his evolving complexity and versatility as a soul-baring lyricist and dynamic rapper".[ 31] Christopher R. Weingarten, an author forRolling Stone , said, "Much likethe recent A Tribe Called Quest record ,Damn. is a brilliant combination of the timeless and the modern, the old school and the next-level. The most gifted rapper of a generation stomps into the Nineties and continues to blaze a trail forward".[ 39] In his review,Greg Kot of theChicago Tribune states, "Damn. strips down the rhythms to their essence, flavored with the occasional cameo (notably Rihanna andU2 ). Lamar's voice does most of the heavy lifting, playing multiple roles and characters. His supple singing complements a variety of rap tones and textures".[ 33] Jon Caramanica ofThe New York Times gave a positive review, stating "Tart and punchy. ... Sometimes boisterous, sometimes swampy, rarely fanciful album—it's Mr. Lamar's version of the creeping paranoia that has become de rigueur for midcareerDrake . And yet this is likely Mr. Lamar's most jubilant album, the one in which his rhymes are the least tangled."[ 41] Eric Renner Brown ofEntertainment Weekly said, "After delving into the personal on 2012'sGood Kid, M.A.A.D City and going broader onButterfly , Lamar has found a middle ground onDamn. that yields some of his most emotionally resonant music yet".[ 35]
Alexis Petridis ofThe Guardian wrote: "If it seems a more straightforward listen thanTo Pimp a Butterfly , there's a cheering sense that this doesn't equate to a lessening of musical ambition. There's none of that album's wilfully jarring quality – its sudden, anxious musical lurches and abrupt, short-circuiting leaps between genres – but the tracks onDamn still feel episodic and expansive. WhetherDamn will have the same epochal impact asTo Pimp a Butterfly remains to be seen, but either way it sounds like the work of a supremely confident artist at the top of his game."[ 36] Neil McCormick ofThe Daily Telegraph stating thatDamn "is the work of a future all-time great in full command of his powers".[ 34] Leonie Cooper ofNME said, "Damn. is by far his shortest release to date – but the ideas, thoughts and feelings it contains are massive, weighty things, from sexual tension to deep, dark depression".[ 37] InPitchfork ' s review ofDamn , Matthew Trammell writesDamn "is a widescreen masterpiece of rap, full of expensive beats, furious rhymes, and peerless storytelling about Kendrick's destiny in America".[ 38] Writing forThe A.V. Club , Evan Rytlewski concluded, "Lamar trusts every idea to stand on its own. When you're making art this substantial, vital, and virtuosic, there's no need to wrap a tidy bow around it."[ 32] In a mixed review, A. Harmony ofExclaim! wrote thatDamn "is the first time in Lamar's career that he hasn't broken new ground, explored old themes in new ways or exhibited sonic growth".[ 42]
