The beat switch on "Complexion"

Can't touch champagne Papis latest album...and that shyt was just a mixtape

Drizzy still got the juice

 

[spliz]

nah thats his main draw between him and lupe theve been makin similar music the last few years

but kendrick got the elite of the elite contributing to his album who knows how to deliver his message and make the music appealing to the masses


lupes project dont lack direction but his message gets lost due to his cryptic style




im just thankful we finally got a couple albums this generation that can truely stand with the all time classics

Honestly I think musically T&Y appeals to the masses more than this album...it's about the name...that's it...Lupe got plenty of rather straightforward songs on his album...like Deliver or Prisoner 1 and 2 for instance are some I can think of off the top of my head...nikkas didn't even wanna give him credit for those...

Listenin to Wesley's Theory, is the concept of the album Kendrick is in the 80's?

Far from it, after King Kunta the funk pretty much dies down.

Is that because of time goin forward and the funk dyin? I'm on my second listen I'm tryin to piece this shyt together

I'm not really gonna participate in this thread but I'll say this, off first listens, I can see the mainstream fans that Kendrick gained from GKMC not really being hot on this album initially. Besides Alright, sonically, this albums sounds like what Kamaal The Abstract would have sounded like if Q-Tip made it today.

Stand-out tracks so far:
Institutionalised
Momma
You Ain't Gotta Lie
Hood Politics
Mortal Man

I have digest this album more but I think I like this more than GKMC already but only time will tell if I like it more Section.80.

That's actually an excellent observation

I don't think it's purposely as such though, considering "i"'s placement on the tracklist

 

[edzyy]

This album is crazy



Sounds like a funk album with someone rapping on it



It didn't grab me like GKMC did, but it's def on it's heels

 

[Hyperion]

Baby momma and your new bytch? BOO BOO!

 

[PHamm]

Kendricks album dropped out of nowhere she's so excited that she doesn't want any distractions.

The interview at the end with 2Pac sound so fukking real...its scary. Its like Pac is giving game to Kendrick, passing him the torch to carry on what he was set out to do.

But Im about to go to bed....the album was a great listening experience no doubt. Spinning back again later on

 

[heisenburrr]

Gave it two spin and I love what I'm hearing but so far it doesn't do what GKMC did for me...

My new V-Moda's arriving on wednesday though so I'll be able to give a better judgement when I bless this album with these cans

 

[I-Hate-You]

Mortal Man got me up here like
