Why every time when the greatness of TPAB is brought up it is linked to it's jazz elements and why are the jazz elements objectively better than any other type of production. Answer me this question please
gkmc works way better as an album and a story than tpab

Soz but you can't ask m not to praise it as one of the best albums of all time when I haven't heard a lot of better albums in my life.

Maybe thats because I'm a musician and I'm hearing things that most casual listeners can't hear... duno

If anything I think the album doesn't get enough praise, s--- is a masterpiece.

Like Musically, I think it really is the best thing I have heard these past 10 years, and I used to hate Kendrick

In fact, I still hate his previous work prior to tpab

 

Jan 20, 2016

It's a pretty good album that has significant flaws

 

Jan 21, 2016

^ yeah, honestly you can have an argument for tpab being top 20 in any genre

 

Jan 21, 2016

true...

this alone really makes tpab special, album of the decade

 

Jan 21, 2016

They'll do anything possible to put TPAB on a pedestal, even if that means rubbishing other great albums.

 

Jan 21, 2016

Yeah I really liked the itunes version.. sometimes I want to put it at #2 right behind tpab

 

Jan 20, 2016

Yeah I think I ranked them based on my own enjoyment... I do agree that gkmc might be his worst album (but its still a great one)

 

Jan 20, 2016

This. And by far his best album. It's outstanding.

 

Jan 20, 2016

best album of the decade... 10/10 and I'm not even kidding

 

Jan 20, 2016

greatest album of the decade after MBDTF.

it does approach the same elements, but it doesn't mean there's no evolution. All the albums released these last few years feature elements that have been present in the game for years.

Also I don't think there should be disagreements, a hip hop album is an album, hip hop is a musical genre. A lot of people say Atliens (its just an example) is a better album than reasonable doubt because the music is better... but it appears that Atliens is also a hip hop album so the outkast fans say Atliens is a better rap album than reasonable doubt. It doesn't mean atliens has better rapping though...but they key word here is probably "Album", a cohesive body of work and not just a collection of songs.

But the rapping on this album is great, not top notch but great (kendrick was def a better rapper on sx80). Numerous flows, voices, rhymes (for those who care) but its all about the music. The beats are incredible and are arranged perfectly. The compostion is amazing, The features are all necessary and pertinent to the story. There's very rarely a moment wasted on the album. In my opinion what makes Kendrick great is that not only is he a great rapper but his "production" accentuates the ideas he's trying to get across and for me, this isn't an opinion I reserve for Kendrick it's what I use to measure every rapper by. When I listen to Jay-Z or Nas or Kool G Rap or with more more contemporary artists when I listen to Blu,J. Cole, Kendrick Lamar, Wale, Fashawn etc.
I'm judging them by how they use the beat AND their pen, in Kendrick's case he's taken it a step further (in my opinion) and hired on some incredibly talented musicians and writers that can bring more to the table than the typical beat maker can.


Good night btw
