    there's nothing wrong though, the kendrick fans praise an album that has the exact same amount of praise from musicians, artists, critics, professionals and co

    we're not pulling s--- out of our a----s. If anything it makes the haters look bad and uneducated on the subject. You really think someone who knows jazz music is gonna come and say the jazz on tpab isn't as good as the jazz on tribe's first albums when even your favorite jazz artist would agree with that?

    It looks to me that the haters are the one who deserve to be compared to the stans
