    like klp musician said, TPAB is objectively speaking goat album, it has some of the best compositions of the past 20 years but its an album for smart people. Like you don't have to be smart to understand it, but you'll need to have some serious musical knowledge to understand the legit praise.

    Like, best jazz elements you've heard in rap? Surely you don't mean jazz overall. I'm sorry, I just can't comprehend anybody picking this over GKMC.

    he probably does. Just so you know, the best jazz album of the past 5 years is The Epic by kamasi w.

    and you know what? kamasi is the one who worked on tpab.. and you know what? even he admitted that his best work was on TPAB.

    it looks like you were just implying that it doesn't have some of the best jazz elements because you don't listen to jazz at all.

    No, the best jazz I've heard in both hip hop and jazz music. kamasi washington is a saxo genius man.

    I'm not the only one to say that though, many jazz artists went to say it had some of the best saxo of the past 10 years.

    they're for 2 different publics. However it doesn't make them equally good, from a pure objective standpoint, tpab is better. Which album you enjoy the most though? thats up to you, it all depends on your tastes... but gkmc is nowhere near as good as tpab, quality wise.

    This is better than anything on TPAB. I refuse to take anybody serious who thinks otherwise.

    and thats why tpab is goat, like stevie wonder said, you can try to find flaws in it but you'll never find them.

    The jazz on TPAB doesn't even compare to whats on any of Tribe's first 3 albums or the records on Illmatic

    funny because it is better.

    the jazz on tribe's first albums was more accessible, it was basic jazz for people not used to this sound. The jazz on tpab is pure and more complex, more underground and better.
