    Like the title says do you think Kendrick will continue the concept album trend? Personally I think he will it certainly has become almost a niche for him.

    Is it a concept (no pun intended) that people could get tired of though? I know TPAB seems to get mixed reviews here would some people prefer his next project to maybe be an EP or something? I'm sure I've heard rumours of him doing a joint project with others.

    Yeah I know but s--- changes. Just curious what people think. Especially if he does a joint EP whether that will be of a similar theme. Him and Cole would be something special.

    He knows it works for him, if I were him I certainly wouldn't change what I'm doing.

    I guess a joint album would be different though, same as multiple features on an album.

    I'm sure I've heard rumours of him and Cole possibly doing something joint. I think they could really make a concept project work.

    It'd be cool if he did, though I'd be lying if I said the skits in GKMC or the poem in TPAB didn't get tiresome at times.
    Eminem's thing used to be making near flawless albums, and we know how that turned out :stephena:
    Point is, s--- changes.

    At this point I would think another concept album would be sorta gimmicky. Hoping to see him get away from that, although I think he's absolutely mastered the concept thing. If he doesn't do a concept album I can see it exposing some of his flaws though, not as much consistency as the first 3 albums had. I'm expecting an 8/10 album either way

    Ill be honest it is a good feeling knowing we are still early in Kendricks career as an artist and can't wait to hear all the great albums that are to come. Loved TBAP and GKMC was a classic. Maybe a GKMC sequel one day..? haha jkjk
