DAMN will go down as Kendrick's Stankonia

[oollopapolloo]

i feel like TPAB was way more impactful than any album kendrick put out
It the first pro black album put on mainstream if im not wrong in this era

I’ve always felt like Kendrick’s career mirrored Kanye’s a bit more.

GKMC with the ode to Class hip-hop story telling and lyricism with music that still sounded current a la College Dropout.

To Pimp A Butterfly with the more jazz and orchestrated album with involved social elements and more grandiose production a la Late Registration (minus the hits).

DAMN. the album that showcases Kendrick’s ability to blend in and do the current sound and have chart success while still being true to himself a la Graduation.

They’re not exact parallels but I’ve always felt like they kind of relate to each other.

Damn is my least favorite Kendrick album.

DAMN. was a lot of hits. He had to make this shyt tho. He would have been pigeonholed if he just stayed his same lane.
Now he can just straight hits w/o ppl questioning his skill or authenticity. Its already been proven. This and GKMC are the only Kenny albums I can play straight through
I feel the same way about Outkast and Stankonia. Probably one of my favorite albums ever

Damn is my least favorite Kendrick album.

It's legit his worst one so far. People won't see it until he falls off all the way

Just didn't expect this to turn into a shyt on Stankonia thread

Paid Outkast opposition out in full force today I see.
