I LOVE KENDRICK

#

@fair apex i listened to good kdid and u were right its wya better than tpab

#

even though they are both amazing albums good kid better

fair apex
#

but theres so much thats different between them i can understand either pov

#

good kid has more typical beats and deliveries, tpab is more based on more traditional (i think thats the right term) african music with more or less no reliance on beats with atypical lyrical style and delivery

graceful egret
#

yes i think the right opinion is that kensrick lamar is an amazing rapper and we are lucky to breathe the same air as him

proud geyser
#

cos you gotta be in a special state to fully listen and appriciate it

#

good kid mad city is where i started

deep delta
proud geyser
deep delta
#

which is why i dont listen it very much lol

#

Pretty sure ive listened to the whole thing once

#

and thats it

proud geyser
#

same

#

alright and how much a dollar cost are my favs from that project

deep delta
#

Like as a whole

#

Damn has like 4 songs I really like

#

humble, dna, element, xxx feat. U2

proud geyser
#

pride?

swift bobcat
#

damn is half amazing half ???

#

I think some of it is just head scratching

#

I can't get into pride or god

#

At all

sleek cipher
#

I love pride so much 🥲

#

god I can understand tho

#

my fav song from that record is LOVE., which is also in my top 3 fav Kendrick songs

deep delta
#

imo

sleek cipher
#

I got it at an 8.5

#

my personal kdot ranking is

GKMC
MMATBS
DAMN
TPAB
SEC80

deep delta
#

i mean for me sec80 is better than damn

sleek cipher
#

ye

#

i know I don’t have a popular opinion ab his albums but GKMC and MM are insane to me

deep delta
#

its my personal fav

#

Butterfly is more of an artpiece so if you're someone who prefers ear-catching beats its not really gonna hit that much
and that was kinda my takeaway from it

#

i dont think overrated is the right word for it
but its certainly not something i consider my favorite, based on personal taste

#

Morale certainly stood out to me more with its beats

sleek cipher
#

and so it’s lower on my list

#

thread was too dead to bring up the beef

#

Album ranking

#5 Section.80

#

kendrick > drake

silver ruin
#

Obviously

rancid sedge
#

It's a widely accepted fact

#

Or should be

#

Kendrick is:
More skilled at rapping
More charismatic rapper
Better lyricist
Better songwriter
DOESN'T LIKE 14 YEAR OLDS

calm ice
#

LOL

deep delta

#

I love damn

#

It took a bit to grow on me tho

#

Drake is only successful because he's still popular, but in reality, his last good album was in 2016

sleek cipher
#

I’m personally still a pretty decent Drake fan. despite him as a person, dude has classics and still puts out pretty alright music

#

I really enjoyed Certified Lover Boy and parts of For All The Dogs

#

also Passionfruit is one of the greatest songs ever made

rancid sedge
#

I'm not that big into Kendrick but I loved GKMC and TPAB
I haven't listened to rap in general in a while though, I should probably revisit him

silver ruin
#

Id give DAMN. a listen

#

It really does grow on you

proud geyser
#

no

#

theyre both on rotation

proud geyser
#

was ass

like in 2 deep

#

girls want girls

#

love all

#

like i can go on and on about all the songs that just make me feel like im lying on a cloud

#

then it has some harder songs that hit

sleek cipher
#

IMY2 is the one that makes me feel like that the most

#

the songs on that album are so vibey even if the lyrics are weak at times

proud geyser
proud geyser
#

lyrics are weak i think thats why its hated

#

but its not really one of those albums where it matters

rancid sedge

#

I always forget that Swimming Pools is on GKMC
I always think of it as Section 80 for some reason

rancid sedge
#

It took all the way until i for me to realize "holy fuck, this album is good"

silver ruin
#

Good kid maad city is a 10/10

silver ruin
#

Relistening to mr morale rn

rancid sedge
#

I haven’t got through GKMC yet

#

But TPAB was an absolute masterpiece

deep delta
rancid sedge
#

The minivan one yeah?

deep delta
#

Some good shit on there
i love the song with mary j blige

#

Yes!

#

Some people consider that the official cover for it

#

Which to be honest, I think it makes more sense for the themes of the album

rancid sedge
#

Yeah

#

The minivan is the most iconic piece of Kendrick lore

silver ruin
#

Do yall prefer MMATBS or DAMN.

deep delta
#

more variety

silver ruin
#

I prefer damn

#

For me MM isnt as consistent

deep delta
#

XXX is one of my favorite kendrick songs tho

silver ruin
#

Purple hearts is defenitely the best song on it imo

#

Oh XXX is amazing

deep delta
#

but its still MM for me

silver ruin
#

Duckworth is peak

deep delta
#

Everyone's coming in here every few days to ask which albums we prefer, but no one ever talks about the diss tracks

rancid sedge
#
  1. Not Like Us
  2. Meet the Grahams
  3. Euphoria
  4. Family Matters
  5. 6:16 in LA
  6. Push Ups
  7. Taylor Made Freestyle
  8. The Heart Part 6
deep delta
rancid sedge
#

Yeah

deep delta
# rancid sedge Yeah

I would also say meet the grahams, but its like slightly lower for me due to sheer lack of replayability from it being such a demented and haunting track

rancid sedge
#

I just love Meet the Grahams so much

deep delta
rancid sedge
#

LMAO yeah

deep delta
#

its crazy to me that not like us might actually be his biggest song

#

in terms of numbers and mainstream staying power

#

the diss track

#

not anything that was from his own unique artistic visions for his albums
for a diss track to be this huge is kinda unheard of

#

I mean, not even story of adidon was this big and thats the one that exposed drake having a son

rapid thunder
#

best rapper

Pride or Duckworth

silver ruin

Mines duckworth

static kernel
#

Kendrick is a band but I'll let this one slide bc he's goated

deep delta
#

the beat switch is fuckin awesome and the U2/Bono feature goes so hard

silver ruin
#

undone shadow
deep delta
#

father time is def one of the best songs from mr morale

shadow current
#

Kendrick just dropped

#

a fucking album

deep delta
proper spruce
deep delta
#

that has nothing to do with the topic of this thread

#

dumbass

#

Just in case any of you guys are interested

#

oh i see what the problem is

#

it doesnt allow puncuation in titles

#

Rap

#

i'll start this off by saying i fuckin adore Kendrick Lamar's new album

#

like i could cry its so good

cedar moon
#

I've heard a few songs off the new album and they are quite good

deep delta
#

its a masterpiece

#

I should also say I'm one of the people that didn't vibe with To Pimp a Butterfly as much as everyone else did

#

It's a great album but for some reason I just like MAAD city better

#

I don't know I guess I think the beats on that one aren't really my thing

#

i click with the intrumentals on Mr Morale alot more

#

did i do something wrong jason if so i am sorry

#

Kendrick Lamar

ripe pilot
#

I’ve actually never listened to Kendrick before but I love Eminem and saw he was blown away by this album. Gonna check it out tomorrow. I’ve obviously heard a lot of great things about him before but I don’t know a single song lol

deep delta
#

and the album is actually phenomenal
Em is very correct

#

his praise is 110% founded

ripe pilot
#

I’ll check it out or is there a better album to start with for a newbie?

deep delta
ripe pilot
#

Sounds good, I’ll try that one first

deep delta
#

its his first main album
Overly Dedicated you could start with too
but its considered to be a mixtape

swift bobcat
#

id feel like to pimp a butterfly is the easiest to get into in terms of getting into his sound

deep delta
swift bobcat
#

yea great album

deep delta
#

I don't know why I just can't get into Butterfly as much

swift bobcat
#

damn

#

(pun semi intended)

deep delta
#

Of course the lyrics are still great but i prefer Maad City's beats

swift bobcat
#

yea i just think tpab is more consistent

deep delta
swift bobcat
#

yea i honestly find myself going back to tpab more

deep delta
#

Maad city (the song) is one of my favorite songs ever

swift bobcat
#

for me (ik no one agrees with me on this) but gkmc doesnt get good until the art of peer pressure

#

i dont find the first 3 tracks all that good

#

but art of peer pressure onwards is all great

deep delta
#

shit that i understand

#

Backseat freestyle doesnt exactly fit much with the rest of the album's narrative

swift bobcat
#

i think it does just i dont like it that much

deep delta
#

Maybe I'm just biased because I love the mad city song so much

swift bobcat
#

i do too

#

at the very least top 2 track of his

deep delta
#

But I don't know I think I even like Mr. Morale more than to pimp a butterfly

swift bobcat
#

idk

#

mr morale just isnt as appealing to me

#

like its a great album just i wouldve consider it as appealing as gkmc, tpab or damn

deep delta
#

I'm gonna try to keep listening to it more but so far I think it's incredible

#

ive listened to just about the whole thing once

swift bobcat
#

i haVe twice

#

i do need to do my 3rd time

deep delta
#

oh nice

deep delta
#

good kid, m.A.Ad city turns 10 this year

#

its probably one if my favorite rap albums ever

swift bobcat
#

yea def top 5

#

(out of the 2 and a half rap artists ive heard an album from)

#

might as well just put my top 5 rap albums

  1. to pimp a butterfly
  2. late registration
  3. my beautiful dark twisted fantasy
  4. good kid maad city
  5. rage against the machine
deep delta
#

Rage doesn't count

swift bobcat
#

i always count them

#

in that case then put damn/the life of pablo there

fair apex
#

uhh ive only really heard tpab

#

i dont like what ive heard from damn but i will listen to good kid soon

#

so like what should i expect, similar production? more minimalist? or something else
