This website and hyperbole
. This is why I was thinking the next time any album gets reviewed for this site it should be a round table type of thing. I can't get with your reviews a lot of the time...your biases shine through every time (even when I agree with you). Mind you, Kendrick's album was the only rap album I bought last year aside from LIG, but RELAX.They're not even the same type of record. One is two artists coming together to essentially make a stadium-sized album, that launched the biggest tour of that year (while still maintaining artistic credibility). The other is a conceptual album and a conceptual album when executed perfectly is almost ALWAYS going to be a superior record. K. Dot didn't do it perfectly, but he did it exceptionally well. It is a very good album. I voted for it in this poll as well, but no need for hyperbole. (I guess Houston and I are the only ones on here think Kendrick is lyrically a bit overrated, but Money Trees and Sing About Me were the two best songs last year).

100% exactly this, WTT is a collection of several good songs but it doesn't feel like an album. it feels like a playlist of stunting anthems by two people completely out of touch in a recession
some of the songs go hard
, but i can't really relate to even a wordcan anyone say anything negative about anything jay-z related without you coming in to

Are u gon sit here and tell me what he said made any sense

Black people been in a recession perpetually that never stopped cats from bumping "unrelatable" tracks before. This argument is always a cop out from anyone who listens to a genre whose bigger stars have always portrayed themselves as some sort of "superheroes."
And if you say you don't feel these bars off Murder to Excellence then I'm not quite sure what you're doing listening to hip hop.
I've been nowhere near married and my parents aren't divorced that didn't stop me from feeling "Bye Baby." The same way, all the people rating Kendrick's album highly can't relate to half that Compton struggle.

Didn't think anyone read those so I stopped doing the reviews. Plus I had too take a step back an be like I'm just a fan so I don't have the credibility to critique these people cause my experience with the music is only through headphones. Thanks anyway for the criticism it would be cool to have realisitic round table discussion on the main site.
As far the post I made. That was just for laughs, just clowning around and exaggerating what Im trying to say. The ghostwritten part was more for Kanyes verse cause he's admitted to having his raps written by other people. The EDM influence or whatever can be heard throughout the entire album and especially on "Who Gon Stop Me". Even that beat was taken from a real dubstep song. Then on tracks where Jay is trying to shed crocodile tears its ironic cause a few tracks before he's bragging about his clothes while Ye raps about his expensive ass shoes. It contradicts itself almost. Back to the beat selection though, it just sounds like grandpa Jay and uncle Ye trying to like these young kids. You can tell Kanye wasn't feeling that much cause he toned it way down on Cruel Summer. I know music has to innovate and move forward but I don't think it should of gone that far off into another genre. It does have good songs and even though the people rapping probably don't mean it the lyrics are nice and the subject matter is still welcome.
Honestly, I don't get the comparison between the two albums cause they're so different. Not even from the same year so I didnt even take the thread serious.

i forgot about murder to excellence, thats on me
but as far as songs, you're nitpicking examples. relating to some shyt is not about relating to the overall concept or image, it's about a couple bars here and there that got you like
yeah i can feel that, i can understand where he's coming from. that sounds at the least a little bit humaneven if i exaggerated and said "not even a word", yall know what i mean when it comes to Watch The Throne. there's very little they say that you can even understand what they think or are coming from. theres barely any bars on new day worried about trying to raise a kid in this current climate, but rather how they feel their kids will be punished because they're too famous
you don't have to agree, thats fine. but i know you at least understand what i'm trying to say even if we continue this back n forth
also if you don't have to relate to shyt you bump, that's cool. that shyt was just my reason for choosing GKMC
