I haven't listened to WTT in ages, but I certainly played the s--- out of it. I'll need to revisit soon, but I'm gonna go w/ a 8/10.

9/10
Great album front to back, both delivered as expected.
I wish we had more of that Kanye throughout this decade.

This but just need to change that it's not what I really want from a rap album. It could have been good that every song having different sound if they were all good but I find myself getting bored of some of the songs, never playin'... On the other hand, there were great songs on the album. n----s In Paris was way overrated. I'd prefer Welcome To The Jungle over that. No Church In The Wild and Otis are two of my fav songs. Lift Off is wack. Anyway, I like slightly more than half of the songs in the album therefore, the most I can give this album 6.5/10...

I was on vacation & missed out on TPAB. I don’t know if my score will count but it’s a 9/10 for me. I think a lot of people get warped up about replay value & setting. TPAB obviously isn’t an album you’re going to play frequently & that’s okay. It wasn’t really made for social settings. It’s an album you come back to once in a while to appreciate the creativity & story—similar to classic movies like The Godfather or Schindler’s List. With that being said: I think songs like “alright” or even “King Kunta” fill that empty space at least a bit—they’re fun & uptempo.


I’ll try to do “honest” once I get out of dreadful LAX.

Honest has some of Future's absolute best songs (T-Shirt, Move That Dope, Benz Friendz) but is kinda weirdly sequenced and has some weaker tracks that slow things down a little (I Won, Blood Sweat Tears), but the hits outweigh the misses, of course. I was one of the people who wrote this off when it dropped but over the years I've grown to appreciate it a lot more, and if nothing else it laid the groundwork for the style that he perfected the following year. 8/10

Momma is Kendrick’s most impressive raps

Knee deep in the Mexican countryside and with 3rd world internet connection, this post will probably take an hour to upload...but f--- it I ain't gonna be late to this party.

Daytona: 8/10
This was an atomic bomb wrapped inside of a 7 song EP. Never before had I reacted to a song like IYKYK, I d--- near threw the sofas out the living room windows. It might have lost some of its luster, but like most of you good folks said, the highlights from this are as close to Clipse-era perfection we'll ever get from King Push.

My Krazy Life: 9/10
I can't listen to this album without wrapping a red bandana like a young Juelz Santana. MKL was this decades evolution of Dre & Snoop's G-Funk, it practically set the tone for California's sound for the following years. It's sequenced to perfection and YG offered a grittier scope of the Compton streets to Kenny's more introspective GKMC. Mustard a d--- legend, dude can craft gangbanger anthems like this and f--- around and produce 1# pop hits like it was nothing.

To p---- A Butterfly: 7/10
I'm not gonna deny the brilliance of Kendrick's most experimental writing and the bravery to tackle the themes he did, considering what was happening at the time in 2015. Truthfully the toast goes more to Thundercat, FlyLo & Co for creating the rich tapestry of funk/jazz that paid reverence to each respective genre. And yet, for an album as acclaimed as this was, it truly doesn't feel like a special album. It's experimental to a fault, Kendrick feels like he's forcing his writing and comes off as artificial at times. It's not a disaster nor a masterpiece to put it short, reminds me more of a Roots album but with a different tune.

Phew, have a happy New Years fellas!

TPAB - 7/10 imo. Liked it at first a lot but as with most concept albums, I find that the concept gets stale after a while so hasn't necessarily aged that well for me.

Still love King Kunta though!

8.5/10 horrendously frontloaded

 

Dec 31, 2019

7.5/10
I love the vibe and the message but for me it has the least replay value out of the 3 Kenny's major albums.

TBAP isn't exactly what I wanna hear in the club but I sure as h--- would love to hear songs like These Walls in clubs. I might not say it's the best Kendrick album but Kendrick doesn't have an album that is not great anyway. Personally, I might prefer d---. over this one but cannot deny the fact that TPAB was a classic. 9.5/10 from me.

Ill give MKL a 7.5/10. Still Brazy is a much better album imo
