    I don't really listen to Kendrick but if i have to listen to one of his mixtapes/albums its tpab. Incredible piece of work.

    Sxn 80 was kinda ok to me, I like gkmc for what it is, UU was cool, but tpab is a work of art. it's not something I would listen to on a daily basis though

    Tpab is one of the best projects of the last few years (its near flawless musical composition probably the reason for this), UU is just a dope compilation of songs

    The sound of tpab was the worst part of it, also an 8 song ep should have 5 songs of filler

    He can, if he works with the exact same team again. Part of tpab's success is that kendrick worked with the best musicians of this era.

    Topping Tpab is such an impossible feat to do, this album is perfect in many ways.

    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).
    Kendrick really went back to the various stages of black music. 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 imo

    meh, he just needs to make something completely different.

    I still don't see him topping tpab though, thats an extraordinary album.

    While it can only make sense to see Tpab on these "best albums of all time" lists, I would be offended to see UU on one of these lists. Not that it's not good, but its not that good
