I'll be fair on Kendrick Lamar, I don't like him to begin with

But how the fukk was the Red Album not better than that simp ass Drake album? How many of those songs are even Grown man music?

:yeshrug: Coo. You're not alone.

But for the Drake part, you're arguing opinion there. Some people can dig what Drake brings to the table, some don't. If you already don't like that type of music, it's kinda hard to rate that album with fair judgement. That's like me saying I'm not a fan of conscious music because I feel that they're too preachy or whatever, yet I'm still rating every conscious song I hear as being trash anyway. It's not fair. My opinion would be better off reserved for something that I actually like.

Now, coming from a guy who DOES likes R&B and "simp" music, I think Drake did it well. But again, that's just an opinion. I would bring some reviews and ratings to the thread, but I'm horribly lazy right now. :shaq: You're smart tho. You get what I'm tryna say breh.

The World, but from BK
I always thought this was a real good album. About maybe 3 songs I skip. I like how he ended it with that song about his daughter's birth too.

I didn't sleep on shyt. Thought it was a good album production wise, but Game was just too fukking corny on that. Still listenable though, especially Kendrick's classic verse on "The City" :ahh: There's a hook on the album where it's whole premise is name-dropping :dead:

This album was fukking horrible. The Documentary is a much better argument for a classic Game album. Doctor's Advocate to an extent to. RED was hilariously mediocre.

Last time I punched a nikka in the face it was 10 minutes or so after listening to this joint.

:manny:

Coulda been the track, coulda been the alcohol, coulda been a combination of the two. All I know is that I can't listen to this joint without feeling a little more aggressive afterwards. Track is hard as fukk.

The reason nikkas sleep on the album though OP is because there's too much filler on it. But like you said, there are a bunch of bangers on that joint.

take off three songs and this album is a 4/5

none of game's albums have been below a 3.75/5

the fact that any of his albums are called garbage... :heh:

he might be weird as fukk and bipolar, but when it comes to albums nobody is as serious as game other than maybe kanye
