carter 3
to pimp a butterfly
this album is my least favorite kendrick album.
I hate Kendrick weird voicesI used to think that for a long time. Then I realized how different it sounded than anything else in hip-hop this millennium. Kendrick managed to craft an album that sounded more like other black genres than hip-hop. The way he weaves in artists like George Clinton, Ronald Isley, Thundercat, Kamasi Washington, Flying Lotus, and other instrumentation is nothing short of amazing. The weird voices are off-putting, but I look back at Stankonia and how I thought Andre 3000 was weird at the time. How many new guys pay authentic respects to genres like Funk and Jazz? I can't name many.
Guys like these are simply at the pinnacle of creativity when you look back. I think TPAB will stand in the pantheon of modern black music when it's said and done.
College Dropout or Harlem World
You gonna bash the documentary but then uplift that horrible ass C3Wayne doesn't get enough respect at the moment. Carter III is easily top 10 this millennium and i'd argue 3 Peat is one of the strongest openers of any album in history. Wayne fukking destroyed that beat. Carter III was the perfect culmination of an aggressive takeover of hip-hop. It's Wayne's finest hour. He reached the summit of Everest and fell off the other side unfortunately.

Never in my fukkin life outside the internet have I met a Nas fan, let alone people who think he is better than jay z
