    WHERE OH WHERE in the WORLD have you seen Institutionalized being discussed as one of the worst? Ill give you i, because people underrated rate it (the album version is simply fantastic, but gets overlooked because of the live atmosphere and the skit at the end) but people on this site, and everywhere, only praise institutionalized (and, at worst, laugh at the "s--- dont change" bits)

    its snoops best appearance in ages, the first half is fantastic, and it has more going for it than a majority of the album. you're reaching.

    yeah... you can't describe your 4 favorite songs as the definitive top 4 songs on the album when you're in the minority.

    I don't know what @Narsh is smoking here but hes reaching for the stars.

    Wesleys Theory, King Kunta, Blacker The Berry, U, These Walls, Mortal Man, The Blacker The Berry, Hood Politics and How Much A Dollar Cost are ofen praised as the top tier songs on the album. I personally disagree with a some of these songs but it is what it is.

    Now you have people starting to call Momma an underrated song but that's it, Institutionalized and i, while being great songs, have never been ranked that high.

    lol impossible to have a decent discussion with these guys, it's either "MY OPINION IS BETTER THAN YOURS SHUT UP MORON" or "lmao you don't know anything about Hip Hop you f---ing idiot :;'(::;'(::;'(::;'(::;'(:"

    I got bad news, we are not "weird" or have "awful taste" because we don't share the same thoughts over a f---ing musical record, I think you guys are being the weirdos at trying to put their words above the ones of everybody else here but oh well, Barter 6 AOTY is the most common opinion in the world I am right?

    Narsh usually is a very nice, polite and well structured guy though, but yeah I want some of that green. Definitely not his day.

    I mean, the guy said the song with snoop, i and Momma "were the definitive top 4. 5th spot is up for grabs between..."

    I was there when the album leaked but I can't remember institutionalized being praised like that. Even if it was true, sx80 is nothing compared to all the other boards/critics who labelled the song as dope, but not as good as most of the songs on that album

    I don't know who said it but its the truth, institutionalized is probably considered as the "Real" or Compton of TPab. (Real is underrated imo but whatever)

    How is HMADC a top 5 song on the album? I haven't listened to the album in awhile and it's one of the (if not the) most forgettable songs on there. I can look at the track list and have at least a vague idea about the content of the song but with this one I couldn't say a d--- thing about it.

    its one of the most acclaimed songs on the album. You not liking it doesn't make it any less great.

    I mean, my best homie doesn't like sing about me and thinks its forgettable, it doesn't mean its not the most acclaimed song on the gkmc.

    kendrick is better because his ceiling is higher. he can make songs like cartoons and cereal, m.a.a.d city, a.d.h.d....vince staples can't.

    I keep seeing people make statements but never actually back them up or explain their reasoning. These discussions (which has gotten way off topic at this point but f--- it) would be so much better if people stopped dodging questions with vague or irrelevant responses.

    So can you (or anybody else for that matter) explain why it's so great?

    tbh wherever I go I hear people saying How Much A Dollar Cost is one of greatest thing kendrick has ever released.





    and I can't disagree with that
