Excellent closer, I just wish there was an outro track to end the album. Don’t want to listen to pac every time I hear the song.

I remember saying when it dropped, it was soClassic the moment it dropped
, it needed a week or so to breathe cause it was A LOT. Last classic album released of the 2010s
Lol @ anybody not considering this a classic. You just don't like rap music, or rather you don't like/relate to the message.
This album was unashamedly pro-black and about as much so as it could get. And what was happening in America when it dropped set the table for this album.
"Damn" is a more abstract/vague album that is more easily digestible due to songs like DNA, Loyalty, etc and it's just Kenny rapping his ass off. It's a classic as well, however it was definitely more easily digestible for NON-black fans. So that's why it sold better than TPAB.
Any album starting out with "every ni*ger is a star", already sets the tone. Nobody will make an album like this again.

My favorite album if the last ten years.

Listening to the Dissect podcast about this album during quarantine made me appreciate it even more. The way the story is woven together is excellent of getting fame, not handling it well and slipping into a depression, bouncing back after going to Africa and embracing his blackness and being himself all while being lyrical and honest. Its a masterpiece.
Checking out that podcast now.

You gotta give that man his flowers in retrospect. Maad City made him a superstar and he could have rode that into some type of commercial stardom. Instead he kept it all the way real and all the way black at the risk of alienating everyone.

yeah this was a dope album. i didn't like Damn because he was going for a mainstream sound instead of focusing on making the best music, but this shyt here was dope. Even the leftover tracks from this album were better than Damn
7 year anniversary. I still remember the day I heard it. I couldn't believe my ears. Masterpiece
Still fukk with it more than good kid
Play both albums depending on mood. Like GKMC is more street insightful shyt and TPABF is more politically insightful. But both albums stay in repeat after all these years.
unfortunately Damn did not grow on me and got old kinda fast save a few tracks
