Lack of mainstream appeal will do that to a record.
Once it fades though, and people look back on Kendrick's career years from now, will TPAB be looked at as brave or foolish?
It has nothing to do with that. If you think Rocky sucks, that's cool.
The fact of the matter is that your average Rocky fan doesn't crave validation. He has a TON of fans. You wouldn't know because we don't sit here trying to tell you everything he does is classic. Or make threads/lists about who cosigned him. We just don't give a fukk. Undeniable dopeness speaks for itself.
Rocky exudes confidence. When you're comfortable in your own skin, you just don't care about sales, who's cosigning you, what your metacritic score is, etc. You just know you're dope. That's it.
The impact and courage to drop a LP with the type of content for a artist of his stature and mainstream visibility is what I take the most from it.
He could have easily side stepped controversial topics like the current social situation in America At the time it dropped.
Hip Hop has a diverse audience and it was cool to see him put that out especially that 2Pac conversation at the end.

As an amazing album that spoke to the anger, confusion, and violence of 2014/2015. The right message at the right time.
Take your fairy fakkit stan wars somewhere else.

It'll be remembered as the album that was less-traditional and less-accessible to the general public, but a strong body of work.

Some people say Ilmatic is trash so I know there's bound to be a few clueless people who will try the same with Kendricks lesser master pieces
It makes your musical opinion invalid pretty much calling all those projects "trash"
not even "they weren't for me" nniqqa said trash

I definitely think overall, the album will be remembered in an important way. Hip Hop is in a current state of bangers and hot trendy singles. Kendrick could've easily done a GKMC II. Could you imagine if he had an album of shyt that sounded like the song from the Beats commercial (It's Alive/"Pyrex")? It would've been an easy lay up, and he knows it. But he wanted to stay true to his vision and gave us this... something different. And I love it.
I'm glad he stuck to his guns. Artists need to be taking more riskier choices with their music.

There y'all go comparing Kendrick's work to Illmatic again.
For the thousandth time. We know you Kendrick fans are so damn delusional.
