May 13, 2021 I ain't say it's not, I'm not convinced though. But still it just doesn't change the fact the album is kind of mid by Kendrick standards.
May 15, 2021 My ranking always changes. I don't think you can go wrong either any of them, but right now I'd say gkmc, with s80 trailing.
May 15, 2021 GKMC was the only album I really enjoyed. I don’t think I listen to music for the reasons the other albums where made for.
Aug 10, 2021 I remember when me @Narsh and @Mike Tyson wrote that track by track explanation of TPAB for the old blog I was struggling so hard to explain why the concept worked and made sense lol. Article did well and ended up being pretty good all things considered but that really demonstrated to me how convoluted TPAB was when I had to sit down and explain every song and how it related to the album as a whole.
Aug 10, 2021 Good Kid Maad City. Was the first album i heard from Kendrick every track is perfect but i dobt really like the bonus tracks. Tpab for me is not as good. Critics overhyped this so much also overhyped is d---. Section 80 is close to gkmc very underrated
Aug 10, 2021 My theory is that the praise for his later albums are compensating for how underappraised his first 2 albums were. GKMC was loved by the hiphop community, but TPAB and d--- was when he started hitting the top of the mainstream, and started to also reach people who moreso listen to other genres of music.
Aug 11, 2021 100% agree on this. TPAB is a great album but it is not the best album of all time like a lot of critics make it out to be. d--- brought a lot of new fans, got kendrick to another level
Aug 11, 2021 I mean Kendrick released a special edition vinyl of d--- with the tracklist backwards, and I believe he said in an interview that it was meant to be played both ways. It really does play well backwards too aside from some of the skits and stuff making for awkward transitions.
Aug 11, 2021 also idk how people think d--- is mid. I get not ranking it #1 or even #2 but issa great album.
Aug 11, 2021 I like d--- a lot, but it doesn’t have the replay value of GKMC or S80 and I don’t revisit it much anymore GKMC > S80 > d--- > TPAB
