    I beleive that TPAB is good, but its flaws are glaring. At times it feels like "Section.80 For Dummies", he really overdid this on some songs, and it doesn't always work well (it fits a track like TBTB, but not Hood Politics where he goes full corn). A part of his audience has to mature and read about/learn a few things more, because he really isn't saying something new. In S80 songs he sounds much more compelling with his social commentary, but I guess some people enjoy being spoonfed. I like what he tried to do and undertand the concepts, the music is nice, some songs are great, but he could have easily avoided some bad choices regarding the execution, and make a better album imo. I still think it's quite good, but I don't agree with all that hype.

    GKMC is better, despite its weak finish. I also like S80 more than TPAB; OD and the EP are good projects to start with, and see his progress during these years (in which I've been a huge fan), and that yaer before GKMC was full of gems, he killed every feature, he dropped random tracks etc etc. Very good rapper, but some people are talking too soon, like they discovered rap last year or something. Chill, dudes.
    Btw can someone clarify this for me, is Lucy actually the devil? If yes, that's certainly something that no one has done before, kendrick so gud :kappa:

    I mean yeah there's definitely a section of people that approach it with that POV, but there are also a group of people that think it's a piece of s--- (which is an unfounded extreme as well). But the actual quality of the album isn't all hype, it's pretty d--- great, and Kendrick isn't really overrated lol he's one of the best rappers alive

    so you really sincerely believe that kendrick is the greatest rapper of all time? there's no one whose catalog ranks above him? not scarface or jay or nas or ghost or doom or big or boosie or anyone? great.

    i'd love if every kendrick album is a concept album, far as those songs that get left out, he can always just release them like the cartoon & cereals of the world
