Rapsody murdered Kendrick on his own shyt
Should have had no guest appearances so he could be crowned the best lyricist

you was buggin
i can actually see the aquemeni references people talking about, though i think outkasts soul felt more authentic to me spanning from atliens to stankonia
people (really just napoleaon and other people hating for the sake of balancing out the people that like the album) talking about kendrick rehasing old peoples music missing the point that he is bringing this type of music back to the mainstream. aubrey could have if he wanted but lesbihonest he doesnt have the experience with black culture to do something like this. he is just getting acclimated to black culture right now
kendrick brought the roots of black music back to the mainstream at a time where we got bruno mars and others ripping off our classics and sitting at the top of the billboard
this album was a salute and a call back to a few of the best moments in recent black music with the jazz neo soul and funk. honestly even if you dont like it, as a black person in this country you have to appreciate what he just put out there. not a true radio single song on there (except maybe "alright"), he just went straight for the music and feeling with this one
@Ziggiy said it best some posts back, this album was a great feeling
it'll be hard to compare this with GKMC but i think kendrick may have just made two great albums back to back
Kendrick hasn't read enough books to create a Tetsuo.Lil ol Kendrick just payin homage respect
Will it be better than Tetsuo and Youth though?
I'm almost willing to bet coli cash on this soundclash
Shame on you for even suggesting this

Section 80 + Good Kidd Maad City = To Pimp A Butterfly
It has the raw, IDGAF about your ethnicity K.Dot swag, mixed with the polished production and storytelling aspects of GKMC. This whole album is very psychedelic, spoken word & G-Funk at the same time.

So far best song from the album. First song to get a instant repeat anyways.
It's that old section 80 Kendrick. The best Kendrick to me
Made me wanna say oh shyt, but I didn't need to because he already said it for me

I guess all Kendrick has to do is release a halfway decent album with some stock conscious messages to keep the stans happy.
GKMC>>>>>TPAB no question

If shyts all true, the way he broke down the "walls" metaphor, and went in talking about ole girl w the "vacancy" (ain't been smashed in a minute), then tying it in to the story from GKMC about his homie gettin killed...and the killer getting caught up & locked...revisiting that on the third verse of this track & basically telling the nikka POETICALLY AS fukk that he's fukking his bytch now is just
