    not sure how I would rank them

    I still have tpab as his undeniably greatest work, followed by s80 & gkmc and then this EP. But regarding its enjoyability, I do enjoy it as much as tpab & s80

    And honestly, i'm not going to lie, i'm probably going to make an edit of track 1, because i can NOT listen to the creepy intro with that whispering in my ear, it feels like im about to be molested.

    untitled 2 is the only track i keep running back, though they're all pretty dope

    untitled 2, conceptually, is as problematic as most of kendricks recent material content wise but i cant help but love the execution

    @Narsh would you agree this > Evol? I think Evol has aged like s--- to be honest.

    GKMC will always be my favorite Kendrick album. Its got a major soft spot for me and introduced me to Kendrick (I was an Eminem stan before). TPAB is better, but sometimes I don't wanna listen to heavy s---. I just wanna sit back and let my mind drift, like listening to "Money Trees" high.

    Nah never, I mean I am getting tired of Future due to him releasing so much d--- music, but he aint ever going to drop something as bad as Shady XV or Pound Syndrome.

    I still can't determine whether GKMC or TPAB is better. GKMC is more approachable and easier to listen to so I can understand why people like it more but I think overall TPAB is a bit more consistent.

    the jazz elements being a "major turn off" for people who dont like TPAB is a false narrative. its how it was executed -- how the narrative was shoehorned and how the unnecessarily dense the whole affair was

    UU does seem like TPAB-light, but as of now i definitely like how he's rapping on here more than on TPAB.

    GKMC & TPAB are like what Food & Liquor are to Lupe Fiasco. Both brilliant projects, but it all comes down to personal subjectives. Now lets hope Album #4 isnt like f---ing lasers....

    Agreed, TPAB was on the border of being called pretentious and it was not in GKMC vein. But it's still a masterpiece. I like both, sue me.

    after less than a day of listenign to it? lol idk but yeah probably. EVOL isnt really the benchmark for this year or anything though

    is this better than Im Up, Out My Feelings, Islah, etc? no

    I can respect that, its like Hadaso ranking tpab higher than gkmc on that all time list that was posted earlier this week, even though he enjoys gkmc more... it's a respect for art and what is better


    as far as I'm concerned, I also feel like tpab is his greatest album, but s80 may be my favorite (tpab coming second though)
