so i finally listened to it.

not feeling this at all. first half i'm not feeling the whole spoken word vibe and pitchy voices. second half which is more "traditional" i feel is a little underwhelming (especially musically). i like Cost of a Dollar and Blacker the Berry (especially the beat).

i don't know, maybe i went in in the wrong mood. maybe i had preconceived notions of what it was gonna sound like and felt disappointed. i'm gonna let it rest for a couple of weeks and go back to it with fresh ears to see but yeah, not my cup of tea.

Love how For Sale mimics a Commercial jingle, while KDOT wards off Lucy's demonicness:myman:

...TPAMB is loaded with Dualities of BLACKEXCELLENCE, without coming off superflous:huhldup:

Lucy gone fill your pockets
Lucy gone move your mama out of Compton
Inside the gi-gantic mansion like I promised
Lucy just want your trust and loyalty
Avoiding me?
It's not so easy I'm at these functions accordingly

...almost like veiled shot to that Gay-Ass-producer :pachaha: said Arrivederci to:sas2:

Yeah it's sound like a pleasant song, but that's how the devil comes at you. All smooth and nice with temptations everyday non-stop whispering in your ear

Kendrick, Lucy don't slack a minute
Lucy work harder
Lucy gone call you even when Lucy know you love your Father

Lucy go get it, Lucy not timid, Lucy up front

So for those saying this album heavily pro-black, in what sense? Just curious

I dunno if someone already posted this. I don't always agree with Max, but I know he didn't start listening to hip hop for the first time last night like most of you nikkas and the hyperbolic critics determined to shove Pimp The Hood down our throats. WHEW! (long sentence)

why doesnt dude just review the album instead of, yet again, getting more analysis about the response to the album? seems we getting a bunch of defensiveness from people who feel they are being forced to like it and maybe dont like it. which is fine. no album is for everyone, and nobody is forcing you to like it. a lot of people do like it however, and why you convinced its some big conspiracy to mind control you i dont know. shyt.

waiting for that XXL from XXL

its already the highest rated album since the year 2000 and not giving thisz a XXl would come as a joke since this album is at least 9.5/10

what xxl doing? come on, drop that review

this... the guy isn't reviewing thealbum and I know him personally... hes an idiot.


I mean, look at Klp, he said he didn't enjoy the album but still thinks its one of the best albums of the last 10 years. sometimes you have to put your bias aside if you want to judge the quality of an album.

on my first listen, I knew this album would become a benchmark
