Jun 7, 2016 Still Brazy will likely make me start stannning YG but Vince Staples to me is still the best out of the West Coast. I love his unflinching and vivid scope, S06 belongs in a personal shortlist of albums that heavily resonated with me.
Jun 8, 2016 Both albums have faded on me greatly. You can call TPAB bloated, but you'd be wrong. It's packed, but nothing is repetitive. It's layered and complex, but nothing is overdone. Kendrick speaks with much depth and intellect on the project, and while it may defy easy listening, it's kind of meant to.
Jun 8, 2016 Nah. Kendrick is still alive. and has 2 major albums that are contenders for being top 3/5 this decade.
Jun 8, 2016 This. Not to mention that tpab is better in every way. Kendrick was a better rapper on sxn80, but kendrick on tpab is still a better rapper than yg on mkl that tpab is also better in every musical aspect. It lived to its ambition. tpab can still stand strong against most of my favorite albums from the 70s/80s... mkl doesn't stand strong agaisnt most west coast albums from the 90s.
Jun 8, 2016 I'm from the West and YG is not who we listen to. You'll hear him in the club but thats it
