    tbh I'm glad tpab got all this praise, I'm glad it was praised as one of the goat abums in any genre because Kendrick and his team really found the way to flawlessly incorporate all the black elements that have helped to pioneer the african diaspora over the past 100 years.

    gkmc is better than od, and probably just as good as s80. Agree with tpab topping them all.

    I don't know bro, I enjoy gkmc more than section 80 but from a pure objective standpoint I think section is better. And it's crazy because Tpab is even better..

    Yeah I think I ranked them based on my own enjoyment... I do agree that gkmc might be his worst album (but its still a great one)

    I swear koolo said tpab was better than mbdtf and gkmc like two days after it dropped? Can't hate an album just cause it's getting praise... that being said I still think gkmc was a lot more enjoyable than TPAB, but the depth and importance in what Kendrick was tryna say on TPAB is unparalleled in this decade.

    ya'll read martin connor's review? saying tpab is potentially the GOAT album. Can't say I disagree with that

    I thought gkmc was more enjoyable than section 80 tbh,


    Personally it goes like this:

    based on the quality: tpab > gkmc > s80 > od

    based on what I enjoy: tpab = OD > gkmc > s80

    Yeah but the way people are portraying it as a poor album, do they genuinely feel that way or are they just trying to support TPAB?

    Nah... This album is another showcase of kendrick lamar's talent. This is a very creative and a very creative and remarkable album.

    I'm not even mad at critics calling it one of the best albums of the 21th century, because it is that good. It's not for everyone, but it is that good, musically.

    I don't think so

    Tpab and gkmc are just for 2 different audiences. Personally I think tpab is much better but it's like comparing Mj's best album to Elvis' best album, you know the fans of one artist is gonna s--- on the other and vice versa.

    I'm fine with you enjoying gkmc more, there's nothing wrong with that. As far as I'm concern, I haven't revisited gkmc ever since tpab dropped and it's not gonna change anytime soon.

    I've heard the tape, but I've just learned that O.D. had a few bonus songs I have never heard of.
