Top 50 Songs of the Decade, #6 - "FEEL." Kendrick Lamar

"Ain't nobody praying for me."

I've been struggling to come up with something profound to say about this song, which begins and ends with the line quoted above.  After a few failed attempts at profundity, the most important thought to leave you with is that it's the best song on an album that is a masterpiece.  It's really best to just listen, drink it all in, and think about what he is saying, and how he is saying it.

The one semi-cogent thought to leave you with is that, during the course of the song's 3:34 running time, Lamar achieves a level of intensity that represents the very best of what music can offer.
