    I enjoyed it a lot musically, not so much conceptually though.

    Good/great album. 2nd best in his discography, my least favorite Kendrick album. Totally overrated and lacks replay value

    It's a great album. It's just one of those albums that you can't listen to casually outside of a few tracks. I love sitting down and reading the lyrics to this while I listen to the album in full though. That's what makes GKMC (and for some people, S80) so much better IMO.

    I think if you have a certain knowledge & appreciation of all different types of music,& sounds you'll fully understand why its his best in his discography

    as for his enjoyability, its not more or less enjoyable than gkmc, both albums were made for different audiences, but theres no doubt in my mind that tpab is his best work

    Thats what makes this album so amazing

    Not only I f---ing love it, but even if you don't, you can't deny how amazing it is, something you can't say about his other projects

    For real, one of the best albums of the decade, in any genre. As far as I'm concerned, this is the only kendrick album I really enjoy (OD too but its more like a mixtape)

    its greatness was never doubted, s--- is classic.

    But like someone else said, it's more for those who are familiar with music from the african diaspora. Kendrick brought us through the streets in GKMC, but TPAB does something even more impressive...With strong influences of soul, bebop jazz, r&b, p-funk, and all sub-categories of hip-hop, Kendrick has essentially made an amalgam of the beautiful art to be created throughout African-American history. It is a love letter to Black Culture and where it is today.

    Thats easily one of my favorite albums.

    I fell in love with it when I started to fall in love with funkadelik.

    Now I regularly play it front to back and its non-skippable.

    I absolutely love the album and play it more than GKMc which I thought was a good/great album.
