    It's has some really good songs that I put up as some of my favorites from him but I'm gonna say nay cause tpab exists lol the concept to tpab is way too strong for d--- or gkmc to be better as a project to me

    I should also put the disclaimer that I only listened to these albums all the way through once and I haven't listened to s.80 yet

    Nay. d--- is definitely his most sonically pleasing and appealing album to the masses. But GKMC & TPAB are culture changing albums.

    i think i’m about ten percent lower on most of kendrick’s records than the average listener is, and about ten percent higher on od and untitled. d--- is the only one that, to me, feels like slightly less than the sum of its parts. i’d need to revisit to say exactly why, but while i love a handful of songs (“fear,” “yah,” the ha one, the 9th wonder one), it feels almost surreally like kendrick’s industry record. i don’t mean that disparagingly, but something like “love” or “loyalty” or “humble” feels so much more tethered to radio than anything he’d made since swimming pools, and because those songs range from nice imitation (“love”) to bad imitation (“humble”) they really bog down the album for me as time passes.

    Nay.

    TPAB is his magnum opus.
    GKMC is 2nd best.

    I’ll make a detailed explanation tomorrow about why TPAB is so highly regarded.

    oh, no question

    i’ve grown to like tpab a little more over time—and i think it’s going to go down as his definitive record—but i think the music outshines his rapping, which suffocates a lot of songs in a bad way.

    od, by contrast, is everything that makes him great as a rapper distilled. for example: “average joe” is the whole thesis of gkmc in a single song, and his actual vocal take is better than anything on that album.

    I agree, those three have aged terribly. No reason to play them after the initial drop, he failed on that front for me

    From a rapping standpoint I can see what you mean but overall the music is just incredible. OD still just felt like Kendrick rapping over beats if you know what I mean. TPAB he was crafting songs. Plus his rapping on Momma and Mortal Man better than anything pre S80 to me besides maybe HP2.
