TPAB was iffy to me at first but that gradually did grow on me though and now i think its classic. I can get it not being considered classic in hardcore rap circles and see that more for GKMC but overall classic in terms of being "bigger than one genre"

But this album here? :dahell: I can tell its never gonna grow on me. It has no standout tracks unlike TPAB. You have posters in here THEMSELVES who admit there are no standout tracks on this album but still say its great or classic worthy. I mean that makes absolutely no sense :gucci:

I mean "DNA" is real dope but there are no standout tracks. One guy said they loved "Fear" and then everyone ran with that when there are no quotables anybody can mention like with "Sing About Me...Dying of Thirst" "Mortal Man" or "Hiipower" .

Its not a good look on a rap album when the best song are the more mainstream songs like with "Humble" or "Loyalty" with Rihanna. That is a terrible look on a rap album.

On REAL CLASSIC albums you don't see "Mo Money Mo Problems" or "Hypnotize as the best song on LAD or "California Love" as the best song on AEOM. Even though the remix without Dre was on the album even if the original was on the album it wouldn't be the best song.

What kind of true classic rap album has mainstream songs as the best song on it? Coli please answer me :gucci:

Kendrick needs to watch that Crank Lucas video put up the other day because it is a true characterization of him. I mean it was all in jokes and Crank even said he is a Kendrick fan but he is going over the top now. Just straight up rap It was cool with TPAB and i love that album now but its going overboard. There isn't even a theme to this record its all over the place. Just because every song feels dark doesn't mean that its a consistent theme if there is barely a message.

i hope dudes aint gonna keep saying the theme is death.

Lmao and this is the type of thing we talk about. Posters like you sounding like women.

Where in my post did i mention not liking Kendrick? If you see my posts over the years i'm actually a fan i liked all the other albums including GKMC and TPAB. I guess now to you i'm not apart of the clique cause i'm not really feeling this one Kendrick album. Grow up. Talking about let people enjoy the music as if everyone is forced to like it. You see in the left hand corner there is a rating system right? Are we all required to give it 5 stars?

The phrase "I wish everybody would stop pretending to like this" is more woman like than anything he said. Again, what does "pretending to like it" look like and who the fukk are you to say how much someone should enjoy something?

All right, but ... HUMBLE is not the best song on here :dahell:

And just because HUMBLE is tearing up the radio does not mean it's "mainstream" :dahell:

And you mention the track with Rihanna as a standout song, when I think that is the worst track on here. The only one I skip.

HUMBLE sounds nothing like the mumble rap that generally tops the charts.

If you don't think the album is great, that's fine, you have your opinion. But it ain't the popular opinion :yeshrug:
