SECTION.80 (2011) = THE BENDS (1995)


On a more serious note, the sophomore outing from both of these generation-defining artists is where they came into their own as Srs Artsts and is even still considered their best record by some of their most faithful fans, who also ride razor scooters to work (because it’s more organic) while sipping a Unicorn latte (because they’re seven). One important distinction is that Section.80 doesn’t have “Bones”. That song [loooooong bleep] sucks. It does have “HiiPoWeR”, though, which makes a stronger case for J. Cole as a producer than he’s ever made as a rapper. This is analogous because the producer of “Street Spirit (Fade Out)” .
GOOD KID, M.A.A.D. CITY (2012) = OK COMPUTER (1997)


The main difference between good kid, m.A.A.d. city, a rap album, and OK Computer, which is some kind of calculator-rock digitoid ball-scratcher, is that good kid, m.A.A.d. city received a mere 9.5 from Pitchfork and OK Computer was awarded the ultra-coveted 10 fuckbillion (10FB GDP) point zero (10FB.0) rating. Otherwise, they are literally the same album. (If you listen closely to “Fitter, Happier” on binaural headphones, you can hear ScHoolboy Q in one channel distinctly shouting “YAWK YAWK YAWK YAWK” after each line of the text-to-speech program’s recitations.) This was the moment that these two peas in a pod left the pod, so to speak.



TO p---- A BUTTERFLY (2015) = KID A (2000)


The fourth album by these two lovebugs was respectively where both of them broke all the rules. I mean ALL OF THEM. Jonny Greenwood reportedly stopped showering for the entire duration of recording the dystopian opus, and Thom Yorke made a habit of pissing on the studio floor to demonstrate his disillusionment with technology, particularly that of Britain’s toilet system. Nigel Godrich later explained in The Guardian that he was informed he would be fired if he ever broke eye contact with Yorke during these pissing sessions.

Similarly, Kendrick began to compose his rhymes completely in hieroglyphs, retaining a tattoo artist on hand to have them permanently etched into Flying Lotus’ back after the last papyrus store in Compton closed down. As it turns out, Kendrick actually wrote the famous “I love myself” refrain from “i” while trying to picture himself as Yorke in 1992, completing the fateful masturbation that would inspire him to compose Radiohead’s biggest hit, “Thinking About You”.

You’ve probably suspected that this analogy has one glaring flaw: Radiohead obviously don’t have a “King Kunta”. It’s frustrating because every single song on Kid A contains the lyric “this d-ck ain’t free” — even “Treefingers”. But admittedly, this one just doesn’t wash.


UNTITLED UNMASTERED. (2016) = AMNESIAC (2001)


This is where people started to first notice serious parallels between Radiohead and Kendrick’s careers. It’s completely incontrovertible that both icons released an album of equally acclaimed outtakes immediately following a work so massively acclaimed that it well stood a chance of topping decade lists. Also, even though they were recorded at the same time as their predecessors, their productions were distinctly dimmer and murkier; Amnesiac wasn’t literally unmastered, but the close-eared sonics on, say, “Pulk/Pull Revolving Doors” were considerably thinner than the sweeping vastness of, say, “How to Disappear CompletOHFUCK I FORGOT TO WRITE THIS ONE IN THE SATIRICAL LUNATIC PERSONA f--- f---

d---. (2017) = HAIL TO THE THIEF (2003)

Kendrick’s newest outing, d---. , makes it painfully clear he’s been in cahoots with Ed O’Brien and co. this whole “d---.” time. The jig is up, but that doesn’t mean he can’t poke fun at himself: the just-released “DNA.” video contains IRL footage of esteemed actor Don Cheadle forcing Kendrick to confess to ripping off “We s--- Young Blood” wholesale on “DUCKWORTH.”. (Yes, the story is true: Anthony Tiffith once drank Kendrick’s father’s blood back before Kendrick was born, then made Kendrick’s father, Kenny, drink his blood, effectively siring the rapper into existence, though ironically, everyone involved has denied an association with the Bloods despite the aversion to garlic shared by all of the above-named.) Still, this is where people start to overrate both artists in the exact same way after both of them opted to return to their “old sound” by having Bono sing every single track on the album.

TLDR

SECTION 80 = The Bends ( Both albums were critically acclaimed and even though they are left in shadow since people focus more on their subsequent releases, they are still acclaimed as the acts best albums and it started kendrick and Radiohead critical succes)

Good Kid Maad City = Ok Computer ( respective classics in each genres. Will both be remembered as one of the best of the decade.Heavily considered the artists best work.)

To p---- A Butterfly = Kid A
( Both boundary pushing and totally a new sound to the music industry. A heavy turn from their previous projects and critically acclaimed across the board)

Untitled = Amnesiac
( Both creepier, moodier sinister and they are both leftovers from TPAB and Kid a respesctively)

d--- = Hail to the thief
(Both have elements of the previous albums, and also both are a successful experiment to test their fans with these many combinations)
