No, but I've heard DAMN and the first one and they ranged from okay to solid.

By the first one do you mean Section.80 or Overly Dedicated? OD is his best imo.

Damn though, that's a crap record outside of a couple of tracks.

Coming up:

How to Have and Have Not

I'm sure there's a Wiki how-to somewhere for all of those, as well as the best way to pimp your butterfly. :laughing:

This was very, very hard for me to get through. It's been a long time since I've had to listen to an album that I found so tedious and generally disagreeable. This album feels long. Very, very long.

I don't really see how this Kendrick fella is any good at rapping, but then, I'm a complete hip-hop philistine.

The music is generally pretty detailed and well produced, but mostly also shops around a bunch of clichés that I've heard better treated elsewhere.

On top of all that, I feel like this album is so heavily inteded as being by and for African Americans that me and my Sacandinavian white boy ass has no chance of feeling like it speaks to me on any level.

Sorry. I pretty much hated this album.

3/10 - because it is evidently well produced and apparently some kind of classic or whatever. I still remember how inescapable this thing was back in 2015.

I couldn't get into this album. I like some of the music and beats, and how it switched up. It had minimal drum machine beats, a lot of Soul and smooth Jazz samples, so in theory I should like it. But despite the things I like, there are a few others I dislike and couldn't get into the album.

so far ...

The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars
...
Kind of Blue
To Pimp A Butterfly
When the String Pops

You rated Acid Bath higher than you rated Kendrick Lamar.

The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars was the game changer.

Am I seeing things or is Ziggy the only album not to receive a one so far?
