    not listening to it as much as i did when it came out, obviously
    still his best project for me, the transition between every track is amazing, plus that jazzy production, musically it's a masterpiece :wow:(lyrically too actually)
    97 on metacritic well deserved imo

    I think TPAB is more important to the world right now, given the current circumstances and situations happening everywhere. I just think it is a more important release. I think GKMC is just a slice of hood life, whereas TPAB is a universal message promoting black excellence and the improvement of the lives of black people everywhere. In 15 years, I believe we will view GKMC as more important to rap, but TPAB as more important to society as a whole. But that's just me.

    For me I still prefer GKMC, I haven't real gotten into TPAB as much only a few songs that I play on a regular basis(u, king kunta, hood politics) the rest of the songs are slowly growing on me.

    GKMC by far. I think KDots next album needs to be more of a GKMC than a TPAB. He also cannot wait another three years before his next release lol.

    I seriously don't understand how people can enjoy this more than GKMC.

    It has aged terribly so far. Nothing really holds up over time like GKMC did. When GKMC dropped, I listened to it for the rest of the year. With this, here we are a month later not really revisiting it much. On the other hand I'm a big fan of the instrumentation on this album. It's definitely a more complex album, but much less entertaining. :jordan:

    Why do we have to put one album above the other? They're both equally amazing in their own right.

    The production is good but at the same time it bores the f--- out of me. Dre needs to give kendrick about 16 beats that were meant for detox and just let him go.
