    Narsh I'm not saying it's a perfect album but that there's an argument to made that the obnoxiousness of people posing it as something it isn't can shift people's opinions.

    because its all about the overall project. Kinda like ye is getting praise when most of his songs have co producers, ghostwriters and stuff like that

    TPAB is simple too. It's kendrick in his current position in life reflecting on the troubles that plague his community. Except it's presented in a clunky, poorly written manner so it's "abstract"

    GKMC is a coming of age story centered on a boy growing up in that same community. It's linear to an extent so I guess that makes it simple? It contains the same ideals that TPAB claims to champion, except it's much more personal, more fleshed out for the most part, and less sprawling

    In all honesty Kendrick deserves the shine, the album was dope lyrically and amazingly well done musically.

    yeah but just because teh concept isn't as blatent and obvious doesnt mean it's weaker, GKMC's is much more consistent and complex than tpab's

    I'd say this OP should apply to GKMC, not tpab.
