We've had both albums for at least two years now and so its safe to say that good kid, m.A.A.d city is the better album, no doubt. But would anyone else rather listen to Section.80 or is it just me?



Inspired by @Narsh and @JFK's posts in the other thread.

The run time for both albums is about the same, but Kendrick packs less in good kid, m.A.A.d city than he does in Section.80, so it almost feels like we're getting more in S80. With GKMC, I don't like Real or Compton compared to the rest of the album either, so that adds to it too for me. With Section.80, it's lows are still tracks I enjoy listening to (No Make-Up). And its highs are top 5 Kendrick Lamar (HiiiPower especially).

Another thing for me is that Section.80 is a non-linear experience, and I appreciate that some times too. Listening good kid, m.A.A.d city sometimes feels like I’m watching the same movie over and over since I listen to albums front to back most times. For lack of better words, it’s almost like Section.80 is an easier listen when you’re listening casually and its filled with great Kendrick Lamar quotes

Again, I'm not saying S80 > GKMC, that's just wrong. My ratings for both Kendrick Lamar albums go as follow:
Section.80: 9/10
good kid, m.A.A.d city: 9.5/10

So while we wait for Kendrick Lamar’s new album, let's compare the first two albums. Thoughts?

I think theres a lot of people who prefer CD to LR. You're still young but when CD dropped, that was a moment for a lot of us. For the record his albums rank like this:

MBDTF > LR > CD > 808s > Grad > Yeezus for me.

But I'd rather listen to CD than any of those.
