No one sees Lupe bar for bar. NO One. nikkas need a thesaurus and olde english dictionary to decipher da Gawds wordsmithery. Kendrick is not nice with bars on lupe's level. He's not saying any groundbreaking shyt that any artists pre shiny suit era has said on tracks. That industry plant brainwashing is real. And I like kendricks albums...but you nikkas are lost. Pick up fear of a Black Planet before you start praising this half assed generation.

To Pimp A Butterfly is better..
i voted for lupe's album initially but it had very short legs for me replay wise.

musically this album just hits my SOUL a lot more than that one..

i'm convinced i lived in the 70s in a past life so this shyt just got me like :wow:

i change my vote

Difficult decision..

I can essentially bump the whole Tetsuo without any skips...with Kendrick i'm def skippin This dikk Aint Free and U at times.

I love Tetsuo but I still dont fully get alot of whats being said on the record. With TPAB its all pretty straight forward without losing any of its depth. Two very heavy-handed records.

Tetsuo wins up front, but we will see months/years/decades from now.
Yeah, this is how I feel to a tee
