f--- this s---.


But even though I'd love to hear it, it's a clever move by TDE: Multiply is now an official myth and people will always talk about it begging for a mastered version.

Well done. TDE makes people hate and appreciate them at the same d--- time.

Both execute vastly different concepts perfectly. In one hand, you have a suicidal Kanye who had to prove himself, and went to the length of secluding himself in Hawaii, working on the album non-stop, and bringing decadent grandiose on levels which have never been seen before. The album is vastly introspective. Each feature was pushed to bring the best, and every song is fine tuned perfectly.

In the other hand, you have Kendrick, who set out to impress the world with his major label debut. His concepts clearer, his storytelling literal. His album is outrospective, using his experiences in Compton to reflect on his disquietudes with society and the gangbanging lifestyle. The album is nearly flawless, but ends with a lackluster feature in the closers which should have been a West Coast b-----r for decades to come.
Kanyes album is technically better, but the albums are polar opposites. Introspection vs. Outrospection. Celebrity vs. Poverty. Arrogance vs. Conciousness. Death vs. Life.

That's why these albums work. The thematic narratives that make these albums unfold like feature films, rather than a collection of singles, which is increasingly the norm these days.

In terms of influence, Kanye is no stranger to changing the genre, and does it with almost every release. That being said, while MBDTF definitely influenced the music around the time, it served to revitalize kanyes career while GKMC served to revitalize the genre. Two years later, and the influence is undeniable in albums such as My Krazy Life and Under Pressure.

Kanye wins, but slightly.
