Kendrick has no classic albums. And thats ok. Just stop lying to yourselves though.

I'll be part of a panel discussion to celebrate this classic (Cornell University)

Martin Connor and Snoop Dogg will be there...Martin will speak about it arguarbly being the greatest rap album ever

I'll be there. I was bumping tpab this morning, thats definitely the greatest thing I have heard in the last decades.

Don't think the average casual listener is listening to TPAB front and back, every other day.

Infact, I bet even his stans don't listen to TPAB religiously front to back like that.

Its not an easy album to just listen to casually. Imagine pulling up to someone at a red and they bumping This dikk Aint Free

Count me in, like common said, an album like tpab deserves to be celebrated even 200 years from now

tbh I remember my bro hating on tpab when it first came out, but the more he decided to deep into jazz, soul and funk, the more he loved it.

Like I've always said, it's an album for true music lovers and people experienced with complex layers in 60 & 70's music.

I can't miss this shyt, Tpab is literally one of the albums that impressed me the most, with Nina Simone and Prince's early work.

I still can't believe that a rapper managed to successfully revisit every stage of black music since the 40s.

 

[Hum Alistair]

the fact that tpab is the only rap album with perfect syncopation...even kanye's musicians have never been able to do that


the guys that worked on tpab really on some genius level

 

[Jean toomer]

If all this doesnt translate into your songs dominating the peer group you represent,it doesnt matter.
All these so called accolades but he never had the hottest songs and stilll can't headline a big tour.
Which means it's just propaganda

Is the debate popularity or classicism? You're completely missing the point.

 

[Edub]

GKMC is a classic.....period

 

[New Username]

Any black person who hates on Kendrick is an automatic c00n. That's the man that had the guts to shyt on cacs on tpab.

OP was the one who said Black Americans should be more Patriotic and to stfu since we ain't leaving

 

[Waterproof]

Let's see if we get a Kendrick stan to respond to this directly without deflecting and crying. Though they'll avoid your post altogether





This is the biggest load of bullshyt I've read all day. I wouldn't even be surprised if you're not Black but pretending to be one for online love.





You Kanye stans are something else.

Like I said, Kendrick is the new Kanye when it comes to hyperbolic bullshyt.



Kendrick stans when someone displays independent thought:

The House Negro is from a genetically weak stock of the Original Man, beta male who was beaten into submission, beat the fear into the him, his spirit was broken, mind taken and soul was sold, you bytch nikka is a direct descendant.....

 

[ThaRealness]

Breh, Im hesitant to call any recent albums classic... But if GKMC TPAB and Section 80 aren't modern classics, literally nothing is

 

[ThaRealness]

-the consensus AOTY according to the critics, its also #1 on 90% of the end year lists.

-is probably one of the most respected rap album by modern jazz musicians.

This dude knows his shyt

People that talk about albums not being bumped a lot thus not being classic don't understand the meaning of classic...and critical acclaim

TPAB is a lot like Radiohead...it's not meant to be played in your car or played while you just lounging around your house...

It's meant to be critI call listened to...

It is like listening to hard bop Jazz vs some Kenny G elevator shyt...

TPAB is not pop music, it's not party music, it's not bump in the whip music, it's music meant to be studied.

And some people just don't like that kind of shyt. Not all art is meant to be easily digested and enjoyable.

Saying TPAB isn't a classic because it isn't played all the time or not a lot people listened to it is like saying Chainsmokers is better than Flying Lotus...

 

[gangreen]

Good Kid Maad City was CLASSIC.

Illmatic type classic.

Something wrong wit y all nikkas...... saying outlandish shyt to get featured threads.

You Got to forgive these nikkas, c00ns, CAC's.....If you give these nikkas Stevie Wonder albums from his Genius Years and have them to sit down and listen to those albums these Western Minded nikkas brains will literally bust
