I'm not going to give you my opinion on a forum for free.

I found Kendrick through Cole and a year later Section.80 was being hailed as the greatest album from the modern era and it had just come out. It never clicked with me and I just brushed it to the side. I remember reading one of your threads about listening to S.80 in the airport and around that time I think everything came full circle.

I fully agree with GKMC being a classic, but not necessarily a 'classically rated' album, mostly because after M. city the album struggles to achieve everything the first half had going for it. It loses the entire tempo and feeling the first half had.

I don't know what it is, but To p---- a Butterfly clicked immediately. It was hitting all the right notes with me (coming from someone who hasn't cared about anything Kendrick has done since the release of Good Kid.) I think it's his most cohesive project to date. Not a single song besides maybe u, stuck out to me on the initial listen, but in the back of my head I remember all the things people said when Kendrick first came out. Better than Pac etc.

That's why I don't understand why @Swizz thinks the Pac interview at the end is cringe. I think this album perfectly formulates something Pac failed to achieve through his music. Maybe I'm was just in the right place when the album came; I spent the entire week listening to random west coast albums. To p---- a Butterfly revives a sound that many of those rappers neglected, (e.g. opening of Rat-Tat-Tat-Tat [shout out to chief keef]
Momma sounds exactly like a J. Dilla beat and as I mentioned earlier the entire D'Angelo vibe.

When people think of West Coast sound, they think of hard drums, but with TPAB moves away from that and chooses a sound he feels best represents the culture as a whole.

I just think there is a lot more to this album than the traditional rap release. I'm not even mad if people think the album is bad, I just hope they one day see what I see it in and hear what I hear in it. I think it's just going to be one of those albums that certain people will have to give time and that time may never come.

I may be in the minority but I still like a lot of book 2. Can't c me, shorty wanna be a thug, wonda why they call u b----, picture me rollin are all good and then there's a few others I sort of like too.

Can't c me and shorty wanna be a thug especially are my 2 favorites off that disc.

To me Kendrick's got such a s--- delivery and boring personality compared to Pac. Pac rapped with so much energy and seemed so passionate, I just don't feel the connection from Kendrick.

I'd also throw in Holla At Me, When We Ride, Ratha Be Ya, All Eyez On Me and Ain't Hard 2 Find which all range from great-classic. Holla At Me has some of the best verses of his career.

All Eyez On Me is my absolute GOAT album.


Edit- I'm also laughing at everybody saying Pac and Kendrick would be BFFs. Pac didn't have friends in rap. He had the Outlawz and that was it. He went at absolutely everybody in the industry on 7 Day Theory.
