    I think TPAB is more creative. GKMC is more "easier" listen and straightforward. TPAB and GKMC both have great story, but I think the way he used his voice as a instrument in TPAB and the live instrumentation on TPAB as well as elements of other genres of music make TPAB production quality a little better. Both impacted hip-hop in a huge way. It's hard to choose really, I love both albums. These albums are so different musically, that it really comes down to preference, it doesn't make the other album any less great.

    I have enjoyed TPAB in the last week more than any album over the last 5-6 years. Opened my eyes to so many things in real life and IMO cements kendrick as one of the greats.

    GKMC-9.4
    TPAB-9.6

    I think TPAB is more coherent/consistent. But I'll probably listen to GKMC more. Need more time to decide which I like more, it's just too hard to say 1 is better than the other.

    Both entirely different albums but if you put a gun to my head I would go with GKMC. TBAP has not even been out long enough to rank it IMHO.

    I love both albums. absolute masterpieces in my opinion. GKMC belongs up there with Pink Floyd's The Wall as far as concept albums are concerned. I bumped that album over the weekend and it still amazes me. To p---- A Butterfly is the most important hip-hop album in the last 10 years. I haven't been this moved from a hip-hop album in a very long time. there's not a skippable track in my opinion. I don't understand how people hate on this album. everyone is entitled to their own opinion but I think this album is not intended for n----s that want that microwave hip-hop. this is a full course meal. with that being said I have to ride with To p---- A Butterfly as the better album. call me crazy but this album will be up there with the likes of The Chronic, Doggystyle, Marshall Mathers LP, The Documentary etc. while years progress.
