    if you're letting a forum ruin the way you listen to an album, you're doing it wrong. other than that, where is it getting this "overpraise" from?

    nah, he's just like me. If you were born in the 80s then there's no way you can say gkmc > tpab, it's impossible.

    This makes no sense. If anything, TPAB is the one with a loose, poorly formed, concept. It's hinged on a clunky poem, a narrative that's all over the place, and ends with an inexplicable tupax cameo that's 100% self indulgent more than its vital to the albums "concept"

    GKMC is a short film. It has the prologue, the rising action, the climax, and the fall. It has distinct set pieces (AOPP, maad city, swimming pools, SAM/DoT). It has a stronger, more focused, less indulgent, narrative.

    TPAB being a "great concept album" is a big lie.

    I very much agree with OP. This could actually be a good piece @Koolo...I gotta think on some arguments.

    I must say this guy came out strong with Summertime '06 album and also this song is dope. He easily became one of the rappers I'm kinda excited for.

    I questioned that too but I think what Koolo meant is that GKMC is a simple narrative whereas TPAB is bigger and more abstract.
