    the tupac skit is a cool concept but you're tripping if you don't think it could have had a more natural delivery. it doesn't really sound like a conversation to me, does it to you?

    btw this is coming from the perspective of someone who likes the album and the skit itself so don't waste your time writing a thoughtful response cause you'd be wasting it on someone who probably agrees with 95% of what you would say. just answer the question above.

    Never with me, for sure, rofl.

    Yeah, I changed my usage of the word a few posts back. idk though, if i remember at one pt your contempt for the album involved kendrick being a misogynist (and something about respectability politics --so dicey) -- as i texted u (not that u responded #narsh) thats such an arbitrary reason to discredit an album... for examples like that, it feels like youre rly digging in on why u dislike the album, ur firm in your belief its bad and entrenched. thats v contrary to me -- you're closing your mind off to an extent

    and to be sure, i like the album alot less than i did -- i suggest u review my podcast i did today on the subject

    well to be clear my uneasiness about kendrick's treatment of women hasn't made it into my reviews of either of his records, because i DO think it's an arbitrary reason to discredit an album. so i don't use it. it makes me uncomfortable but it's not a knock against his creative work.

    He's got talent, don't get me wrong. One of trap and drill's best. But I'm not trying to hear that boo boo s--- when kendrick releases a new album.

    he has put out two major label albums and each has a woman as a succubus/the devil. it doesn't detract from either record. it just makes me feel weird on a personal level.

    Hasman always scared of a little reading :laff:
    I don't think it really needs to sound natural. The way it sounds now is kind of surreal, which is perfectly fine with me

    I'm sure I'm in the minority by the looks of this thread, but in my opinion, GKMC > TPAB.

    TBAP is deeper at times, but I don't get the same emotion and energy that GKMC.

    There is no track on TPAB that can match up to M.A.A.D City , Money Trees or Swimming Pools in my opinion.

    @Koolo referencing To p---- a Butterfly's Metacritic score has quickly become this forum's equivalent of StarNizzy talking about hooks

    Fair enough :manny: I think there's more of an argument for Swimming Pools being worse than a few songs on TPAB, but m.A.A.d City and Money Trees are GOAT. For me, I get more out of TPAB than I do GKMC because I'm not as interested in his life story as I am in the issues he talks about in TPAB.
