    They were all contenders. It's so hard to pick just 3.

    Section.80 will probs be my personal fav forever though. The KLEP/OD/S80 era in general I love even if KLEP is pretty flawed.

    I think it has to do with GKMC being a linear narrative, and d---. being a bunch of different types of songs built off of common themes. This visualization of d---. really captures that, even despite there being a lot of incidental links.

    GKMC is best experienced in one daunting listen from start to finish. d---. makes you want to start it up to hear DNA., and you can put it down then come back to it more easily imo. I don't think they scratch the same itch.

    Voted d---., i feel like Kendrick improved a lot lyrically and vocally and because the vibe of the whole album gave me a strange good feeling/mood when i heard it for the first time.

    when i heard tpab, i told @BigCountry it was better than gkmc...but 24 hours later i knew i was wrong

    tbh i think d--- will hold up...every song on gkmc has a song on d--- that can be compared to...fear and sing about me for example...but then you have money tree and swimming pool and art of peer pressure whjich cant be compared

    but then you have songs on d--- like god --- pride that kendrick never did anything like

    i dunno, i think d--- can be viewed as better than gkmc in a year
