    Yes absolutely....in a hip hop album category


    90059 really captures that old school hip hop sound...to me at least

    DS2? Yes I've listened to it, and I enjoy it like I said previously. It succeeds for what future was aiming for. But Kendrick aimed a lot higher in terms of lyrical depth, scope, and many other levels. I didn't mean to sound snotty, I was just asking what the themes were because I simply don't know.I'm all for honest discussions, I would just have a hard time agreeing that DS2 deserves a grammy over TPAB. And also, I don't think there's any "hidden meanings" on TPAB, it's all fairly overt if you just listen to it.

    Well there is a song called "trap n-----" and he does talk about drinking lean quite a bit no? I can't really comprehend everything he was saying, so please enlighten me.

    Drug abuse, lust, love, loss, disillusionment, being institutionalized (from a different pov than Kendrick), his origins/upbringing..etc

    see and this is why i'm not giving any weight to what you say about the record. it's a breakup album that's also about the anxiety and disillusionment of having a friend in jail in the middle east.
