ofc I do, I'm a musician myself and I can recognize quality when I hear it
I don't believe you. You wouldn't have mentioned others praise first. You would have said, "Kendrick is 10 times better than Jay as an artist. The way Kendrick plays with [insert music term], and how he forms the melody blah blah blah". I might have found it pretentious, but at least I would say " tehparadox bout the music."
Now I just think you're a follower like the rest of them.
But you can redeem yourself. What tracks are the standout on To Pimp? I haven't heard the album in full and I'd like to give it a deep listening. Which stand out as supreme quality since you can recognize it when you hear it? No troll. Serious question.
