I know its cool to make bold statements on this forum, but Tpab is better than both combined.

It might not be everyone's taste though, but quality wise tpab is much better than these albums lol

No.

Tpab is one of the best composed albums we have heard in years

Tpab was AOTY, so I have to disagree with this and tpab didn't only have that grammy for creativity. It was the album with the best music

 

Nov 8, 2016

I like all of these albums but Tpab is in a different league

 

Nov 8, 2016

You're just not listneing to enough music then

 

Nov 8, 2016

Nothing wrong with enjoying an album more than To p---- A Butterfly but if we're talking about what album is better then it's Tpab and its not even close to being close.

Both dsp & barter 6 sound elementary compared to TPAB.

h--- no, Tpab is without a doubt one of the best albums in recent years, and I don't even enjoy it.

The fact that you said it won the grammy because its creative pretty much proves that you don't know what you're talking about.

From an artistic standpoint, the album's strenght is the music: the composition, the production, kendrick's ability to incorporate variations forms of classic music in his rap (only pharoahe monch doing that, and now young thug). I know some old heads listen to jazz-poetry, but I'm not one of them.

However, Kendrick really went back to the various stages of black music and the poem was part of it. This album features both the rhythmic spoken word & classic/traditional poetry that were both used outside of mainstream jazz music few decades ago. Despite not being used by white artists trying to popularize jazz in the mainstream, these aspects of jazz music still influenced early hip hop. This album can really be described as a "black" album, all of it, and it was done extraordiry well.

tpab's acclaim doesn't come from its experimentation of sounds because the album is definitely not experimental, it comes from the successful attempt at incorporating all the best aspects/elements of the different stages of black music, without compromising anything. In that regard, you could say it's more of a safe than experimental album and that doesn't make it any less great considering the fact that very few artists can do that.

neither is f---ing close to TPAB, stop this bs

 

Nov 8, 2016

Tpab is not something I'd listen to every day but from a pure quality angle, I'd pick it over any of my favorite albums. s--- is THAT good

 

Nov 8, 2016

OP clearly doesn't know how to make the difference between what he likes listening to and what is "better"

 

Nov 8, 2016

lol..it actually has to be enjoyed as a work of art, some of the rap songs aren't even rap, they're jazz influenced songs. Way too many people think jazz = instrumentals, it's false.

 

Nov 8, 2016

tbh I find this thread to be very direspectful. I'm fine with you if you like b6 or dsp more but saying they're better than tpab?

 

Nov 8, 2016

U > young thug discography

 

Nov 8, 2016

Lol Tpab s----s on both these albums

 

Nov 8, 2016

I listened to all 3 last week and tpab is still better
