    Hey c---- either respond to my question articulately or f--- off, no one wants to see us get into how off base you are about barter 6 for the millionth time (especially since you already conceded to all your shortcomings in previous convos)

    Now on topic, how is these walls a top 3 track, and how is TPAB the "perfect culmination of the black experience in America?"

    On "These Walls", the production is sexy, the hook is great, and the twist in the third verse is pretty great. I enjoy the track a lot, alright? And my #3 track changes all the time with different listens. That's just how I'm feeling now.

    And I think the album is a near perfect culmination of the current black experience in America as it's not one-sided. It doesn't just take one side and stick with it, it looks at the black experience from multiple perspectives and isn't just "black people > white people." For example on "The Blacker The Berry", Kendrick looks at the current #BlackLivesMatter movement from both sides. He's definitely pissed off about the current racism black people experience, but realizes that hey, white people aren't the only people killing black people, we're killing each other, but again that can also be attributed to white people as the introduction of crack cocaine in black neighborhoods in the 80's was the fault of a white-run CIA.

    I just really love this album as it came out at a perfect time. Everyone wants to pick sides nowadays, and Kendrick has the depth to realize we can't do this. There's problems on both sides that we need to address together to fix. And additionally to convey him looking at the black experience in America, the production matches this, taking inspirations from many genres originated and defined by black people, including jazz, funk, hip-hop, and more.

    It's an album deeply rooted in black culture that shows respect to it and analyzes it. I have a hard time talking about TPAB as it's really hard to do the album justice with my words. I can only really say just listen to it, and if you don't enjoy it, that's unfortunate.

    yeah that's fine, but don't come in this thread attacking people for really loving this album while you didn't quite feel the same

    but i guess you want to get some sort of revenge for how much people hate on you for being the #1 young thug stan on here
