We still pretending Joey Bada$$ latest wasn't a better pro black/political album than Kendricks TPAB

[Izanami]

Don't get it twisted TPAB is a phenomenal record. It's infusion of jazz, spoken word, storytelling and introspective raps sprinkle with a little bit of pro black self conscious rhymes was a breath of fresh air in a mainstream hip hop climate. That being said the album is misconstrued as some super pro black conscious album like Dead Prez "Let's Get Free' or Mos Def "Black on Both Sides" of its time. That's false. The album majority dealt with Kendrick dealing with fame and his current mind state.

This new Joey album at the very least can be labeled as such.

"Three Ks two As in AMERIKKKA"On the hook of the opening single, The album is...

More direct in calling out CACS
More direct in calling out CACS hypocrisy
Better political driven rhymes
Overall superior lyricism
Great production

Considering the original title was AfricAryaN that wouldn't be surprising
