This is one of the better story telling and concept albums I heard in the 2010's but for some reason a lot of y'all hate it.

I love it and think it's a masterpiece, but I get it if people don't warm to it. It's not the first album I put on when I want to listen to Kenny. But the wholesale effort that went into making art like it, music that goes above the fray instead of just following trends, I respect it immensely.

Alot of cacs on here hate the album because it got critical acclaim and they want to be contrarian. I seen someone say Kendrick made TPAB for Pitchfork. Like Kendrick is in the studio making music for music reviewers on the internet
:unimpressed:


I think it’s the opposite. I think white people praise it more than black people.

I honestly haven’t met too many black people that enjoys it. There’s a few but other than that I remember when I was in college (HBCU) a lot of people were complaining about it being a jazz album.
