TDE plants breh

Gotta be. I'm outta here. I'd rather debate a nikka about music in person so I can expose his stanism face to face because these nikkas can't be serious calling this a masterpiece .

 

[DAlbert]

Took a break from class to continue to listen :Lupe:

That's gonna make ppl bootleg it and will hurt the sales. Smh I want Kendrick to sell a mil the first week. I wonder how much it sold so far?

Anyway to find out the numbers so far?

Me and my boy were just talking about this today. This could really fukk up his sales cause there were no leaks thus far.
I really wanted him to do a million too. Much better than the shyt that's always out.


Hopefully this let the people who were gonna bootleg get it early, but make people who are on the fence go ahead and cop due to word of mouth.

For y'all still looking for it on iTunes, it looks like they took it down.

 

[Ohene]

pretty so far but it sounds like something critics will eat up.

Institutionalized was the frist song to catch my attention. Just sounds like a poor mans Native Tongues album for some reason.
Maybe its cause i'm at work

 

[Ashtrey]

Waiting for the physical release to listen but I think it's safe to say there are now 3 classics in the 2010s = MBDTF, GKMC and TPAB

 

[Golayitdown]

nikka DO YOU LIKE IT? goddamn y'all corny as fukk.

I love Kendrick and am feeling the CD heavy, but this has me

 

[Kaypain]

that yellow tint is not working breh

Ok so.... make another smiley

 

[eerieBell]

This album is a masterpiece. Do you guys thiink its better than MBDTF?

Not sure why you brought that up.

Anyway, always thought MBDTF was overrated af. It's not even best Kanye album. To Pimp a Butterfly easily tops it even with only 2 listens on entire album.

the direct path
cutting through the problem with words
investing heart and soul hoping to turn the tide
that's kendrick

the overhead approach
coasting over a world that you feel you can't change with words
energy invested in epicurean pleasures that give you distance from the worlds ills
that's drizzy

life has complexities so of course these statements aren't final judgements
some people are a mix of both perspectives
some people fall to the extreme of either side
you know the fukk turning up crowd vs. the shut the fukk up and quit preaching crowd

some people have inner conflicts
and you can clearly see the conflicts between kendrick and drake fans

the back and forth finna be crazy
these nikkas got albums to go this that biggie/pac jigga/esco syndrome nikkas got emerging again huh¿

some things will never change+

How much a dollar costs and complexion the only good songs the rest of this album garbage

This album is the album of the people, it's timeless. The execution Kendrick displayed throughout this record is something that doesn't come out very often. It's literally like listening to poetry in motion... seriously, it's just awe inspiring music from start to finish. The way Kendrick switches his voice tone to properly convey his messages and connect the listener to his concepts and song writing is unrivaled. The skits are perfect... "This dikk ain't freeeeeeeeee"

Nobody else gives us deep spoken word poetry like this in the game. King Kendrick

Oh and damn, the production that he had on this is

The jazz feel, soooo soulful...

The Pac feature

It's like Kendrick took on the hood mentality head on and rose above it to let people know there's more to our people than what is portrayed in the media.

Generational Game Changer

Thank you Kendrick

 

[doublenegative]

The arrangements on this album are mind blowing

 

[JuvenileHell]

Time to avoid this section for a few days (maybe weeks) The trolling is going to be nauseating, especially since rep is temporarily disabled

Agreed, gonna chill out in TSC until the bullshyt is over with

 

[Plexxx]

This shyt here .
