[Doin2Much Williams]

I can't...



Give me another week or weeks on the Kendrick.


My reactions have already been established for Tetsuo.



Will report back by Cinco De Mayo.

TPAB don't have Mural

...and, T&Y don't have Mortal Man

Either way, both are Dualities of BLACKEXCELLENCE

I'd say Kendrick's album is better

but anyone who hates either one of these albums is lame and doesn't want hip hop to be taken to a better place, real talk

both albums display some fine hip hop at work

 

[Dirty D]

The only song I didn't keep from T&Y is Dots and Lines, which other ppl seem to love but is garbage to me. The instrumentation is just too weird, even outside of the banjo bookends.

I kept about half of TPAB. It's pretty good, but T&Y is great. Obviously TPAB is selling better and getting more hype. Kendrick is a company man with Interscope so he's getting the full-court industry push. Lupe is in the opposite situation, leaving his label, and is getting the treatment that goes with that.

Wouldn't rehabilitate, man, I would just box these nikkaz
And throw away the key, I'd throw away the key like the coast guard watching me
I'd throw away the keys/ki's, I'd throw away the keys/ki's, I'd throw away the keys/ki's

Better watch these nikkaz (on God/en garde/on guard)

The dualities *Hov voice*

I still got TPAB. Lu was #2 of the year but Bad Neighbor took its spot. Still Top 3 of the year.

Is it me or does anybody else see the similarities between Prisoner 1 & 2 and These Walls as far as the concepts?

 

[JulesWinfield]

I love both of these records. Tetsuo & Youth and TPAB were my most played hip-hop albums this year, no question. I'm gonna give Lu the slight edge because there isn't a single song that I didn't like on T&Y whereas TPAB had songs like "u" that I wasn't really feeling. Still a great record but parts of the song were hard to listen to.
