    Some songs work great as standalones, but it aged awfully with all the constant reference. The references are incredibly dated which ruins it for me.

    Imo yes... but eminem albums are more accessible. Kendrick made something more underground, but better imo

    what makes tpab so beautiful is that kendrick and his team combined all the ideas black musicians have helped to pioneer over the past 100 years.

    outstanding album from a musical standpoint

    It's not mainstream music either. Sonically speaking, the album is all about the African diaspora and musical genres that haven't been hot in the mainstream for a decade or 2.

    Great list.

    Crazy to think tpab is already compared to the goat albums but its well deserved, I haven't heard a better album in decades. There's some albums I enjoy more, but they're not better, thats for sure.
