TPAB dropped almost 6 months ago, how are we feeling about it now?

[DrunkerThanAMotherfucker]

I still think it's a powerful album, it's such a masterpiece imo... It combines the best of what hip-hop can provide, innovative production and intelligent, thematic bars.

It's not an easy listen, but I don't think that was Kendrick's intention. It's a rebellious album, he went the opposite direction everyone expected him to go... A lot of people thought he would sell-out further and cater to the radio, but he straight dropped an album complete with BrainFeeder instrumentation, weird flows, and political lyrics

He has a long and prosperous career ahead of him, I think he's absolutely brilliant and has the greatest grip of language out of every new MC I have heard out of this decade.


But I think the album is finally gaining traction now with Kendrick's newfound success with his visuals. Alright and For Free? are probably the best videos I have seen in a long time.

Props to this guy, he is the guy we should be for in the aftermath of Drake vs Meek

I feel like I still haven't listened to it.

Kdot is the best lyricist of the new generation. Thats an undeniable fact.

 

[ThisWorldAintRight]

I'm still lovin it man. I play it whenever I'm out riding around.



Very powerful album, I can't wait to hear what else he's got planned.

 

[HearNoEvil]

Really good album. Had classic potential but ultimately lacks the popularity.

 

[AAKing23]

Damn 6 months already

 

[YeLovesBoston]

Everyday is amazing. The jazz, R&B, and funk instrumentals. The concept surrounded around the allegory of a poem. An allegory that expanded into topics such as racism, colorism, crime, poverty, depression, empowerment, and spirituality.

Kendrick did it again

Best album of the year..masterpiece is the only word I can think to describe it. can't see it being topped but we only just past the halfway point.

 

[Surreal]

Classic IMO and my standards are pretty high

 

[YeLovesBoston]

Its hardly been 5 months though

 

[Jen The Prude]

No one listens to it. And those who say they still do are lying. It got old pretty quickly.

Although Kendrick is talented with the pen, there's something very grating and harsh about his delivery.

I don't see him growing as an artist.

Still have it in my rotation weekly. The recent videos have sparked my love of the album all over again.

I find Kendricks music takes me me multiple listens to let in sink in. Like it took me around 5-6 spins of gkmc before I was just like

Same with TPAB. His music is very "dense" and it takes multiple listens to focus on each aspect,flow,production,lyrics before I can appreciate the full picure.

Which is just how I love my music. Almost all of my favourite albums across all genres are ones that took me repeated sessions.

I really appreciate his attention to his craft. Their isnt one thing on his albums that isnt created without a purpose.


And its awesome to see the album still charting and sellin consistently.


On that pount,gkmc is STILL charting as well.
