Okay, guys... I'm 1.75 listens in and got some lunch (Kelly Ayotte was in my office so I ate the leftovers.)
Clearly an evolution here, thinking about GKMC... that was really lush, atmospheric, almost downtempo. The start of the TPAB is definitely a move forward soundwise in that regard, although as I said before the heavy g funk influence makes it a kind of spiritual heir to classic dre/snoop.
ive been grappling with how he concludes the album. its pretty bold. however, what i love about kendrick though is that he (to me) has an integrity about his projects that verge into self seriousness. but that said, hes got a kind of overall moral authority that i find refreshing in a world of nonstop singles and club hits. this is a complete concept, a true album
not a collection of disparate singles, and the fact he can accomplish that with vastly different soudns/themes is impressive. both gkmc and TPAB are complete works, so the only real mainstream comparison to be made to kendrick right now is kanye.
at the end, this album feels like its seeking to make a statement on the future of black america, which is why he - literally - is in dialogue with pac. kendrick is a surrogate for the inner conflict felt by millions in wake of trayvon, etc. pretty compelling effort for an artist of kendrick's stature. i wont say hes 100% successful, but this is a unique project from a somber moralitist. kanye (the pop artist) has rarely grappled with these sorts of issues with the same kind of hard earned heaviness.beachdude42, Jaywop, Joshua Smoses and 5 others like this. -

Not everyone has been following Kendrick since the mixtape days, so you can't fault anyone for being misinformed about his blow up, but Cole did an incredible amount to perpetuate Kendrick's popularity in the early days.
The overlap between the fan bases is huge as even @Koolo is finding out now with other projects he has going on.Esco, Fire Squad, Dew and 5 others like this. -
