I think this album is a masterpiece and it's crafted incredibly well, but it only works for me if I treat it like a book or movie. I gotta start from the beginning and go all the way through. For example, "u" literally feels like a scene out of a movie, so it's weird when it randomly comes on shuffle. There are only a couple of songs I can listen to on their own and really enjoy, but mostly it feels better as a whole. Does anyone else feel this way?

[@christiandiordenimflo]

Same. Songs like Wesleys Theory and How Much a Dollar Cost I can listen to no problem, but songs like u and institutionalised I can only listen to when going through the whole album. And u is my favourite song on there, too.

[@Chakaonnet]

Felt this way about GKMC .

[@Rugdoctor1000]

I completely agree. I was excited about the album but I hadn't really enjoyed the singles ( I, Blacker The Berry) because I was listening to them out of context. I've been listening to the album endlessly for the past few days and its honestly one of the most satisfying experiences in music I have ever had. Each new listen I get that much closer to figuring out and deciphering the messages he places into the songs. I salute Kendrick for believing in his fans\listeners and not insulting their intelligence by giving us something to really analyze and sink our teeth into. Kendrick is a living legend, the kind of artist i'll be telling my children about when they ask who I loved and listened to as a young man.

And thus, this is now the first album I have ever understood the lyrics to, and it's one of the greatest things I have ever had the privilege of listening to. That's all I wanted to say really.

When people say “why do you watch music reviews” I point them to this video. Your passion and attention to detail to the point of view of the artists is very admirable. I went through a slump where I didn’t appreciate music as much but as I watched the video on how you review music to see videos like this I started changing the way I listened. This definitely caused me to stop enjoying a lot of artists i use to because I stopped looking for catchy one liners and “hard” beats. But it made me appreciate not only real hip hop artists who put time and thought into their albums, but other genres I may not have cared for. Basically I wrote this to be another to acknowledge your impact on music and it’s listeners. In case you ever see this never stop being you!

As a metalhead who rarely goes out of his way to listen to other stuff, I decided to finally give Kendrick Lamar a try. I listened to Section.80 and GKMC, and I’m upset that I’ve been missing out on this art. Kendrick has an amazing ability to write compelling and in depth stories in his lyrics and flows while not giving up awesome instrumentals and just overall catchy music. It’s artists like this that make me wanna venture off into more hip hop music.

You can argue for days which album is better this or GKMC but at least respect an artist going entirely out of his confort zone and delivering such a satisfying result.

I'll tell you just how much a dollar cost... the price of having a spot in heaven embrace your loss, I am God (slatt) (slatt) (what) (homicide)

I'm the biggest hypocrite of 2015 (what, yeah) When I finish this if you listenin' then sure you will agree (hold up) This plot is bigger than me, it's generational hatred (plot, slatt) It's genocism, it's grimy, little justification (what, what)

What about Cal Chuchesta?

[@divyenduraina]

but it does feature Cal

[@darth2312]

TPAB does have features.

[@Andrew-xc7kb]

@@darth2312 They say REVIEW, not album.

[@artapex7686]

TPAB is one of the greatest albums of the damn decade. I had been a rock snob but this was the album that helped get me into hip hop. That and his TPAB Grammy performance

You mean DAMN. Decade

[@bhiengga.mazhar7957]

That performance really really beyond any other artist performance. Like it had purpose, its substantial, the way kendrick delivered and combined the songs make me speechless. Its the best of the best

This album ended up becoming my gateway hip-hop record. On my first couple of listens, I was loving it for the instrumentals. And then the lyrics started making a glimmer of sense. And then the conversation at the end started making sense, and I learned its context. And now I'm listening to this thing every other day. And I was proudly saying only a few months ago that I didn't dig hip-hop at all.

+David Rosen Wait till you expand your horizons. You'll realise this album is little more than critic bait.

[@david500006]

While I am looking forward to expanding my horizons, I'm not sure that that's a fair assessment. Maybe some of the lyrical content. But the music itself seems so fully realized, I find it hard to believe that it was all done just to impress critics.

[@kobron1559]

+David Rosen did you listen to Section 80 and GKMC?

[@UnBR0k3enAngel]

+Ich Mein Suuuure...or is it because you were expecting pop-songs and didn't like what your heard because it took more than one listen to enjoy.

[@kazoh0lic]

UnBR0k3enAngel Nah, I think it's a good album but GKMC was fairly better. It's just very profitable to speak from a moral pedestal. Even if it doesn't sell well, you'll have people calling you a prophet for pointing out the obvious. TPAB is the equivalent of a movie about gay people or slavery. Critics just eat that shit up.

[@wowwhyisthistaken]

you can tell off the bat anthony knows he’s about to review the greatest album ever recorded and he’s just happy to exist when it came out

[@liammiller6247]

10/10? DAMN.

he was being HUMBLE.

[@santeriairaksinen398]

Guess it was in his DNA

[@kinleydeboer7280]

He showed this album a lot of LOVE.

It really put him in his ELEMENT.
