No I just meant it as the song sample except I forgot to say sample after it lol. :laughing: ugh I spent like an hour on that write up too.

Not a masterpiece, not even close to Good Kid, but a solid 4/5. Can't wait to see this man perform.

Goofle 04-09-2015 03:06 AM

It's definitely better than GKMC. That album is an absolute snooze fest aside from a few tracks.

x2 Plus at least we only have one annoying thing to skip on TPAB with the Tupac interview. GKMC had all those annoying phone calls.

Fringe 05-03-2015 04:36 PM

There are a good few tracks on here. I would say it is on par with GKMC. 3/5. I just loved Section. 80 and neither in my opinion come close to section. 80.

For sale? - Interlude is really cool

Kendrick
 
What a ****ing incredible album. Kendrick always puts his heart into his music and it shows which I love in an artist. I respect his efforts at trying to shed light on a corrupted system and his strong language an metaphors are really captivating.

Lucem Ferre 09-08-2015 09:32 PM

I loved this album.

DragonsHaveScales 12-14-2015 12:41 PM

I'm not super big into hip hop, but I'm certainly open to it. My roommate showed me Good Kid M.A.A.D. City and I absolutely loved it. The whole end of that album is incredibly moving. So I was pretty stoked for this album, and I have to say it didn't disappoint.

I just really, really appreciate Kendrick as an artist. His lyrics are very honest and interesting, and it really makes you think about things you might not otherwise have considered. And the music to the songs themselves is fantastic. All in all, I think it's an excellent album and I can't wait for the next.

I'm on "S" right now, so To Pimp a Butterfly is coming up soon. I'll finally get to hear the album everyone is raving about. I wonder if, in my mind, it'll live up to the hype. I preemptively rated the album 1 star just to be safe.

Goofle 12-15-2015 08:26 PM

Why would you rate it before listening?

Zhanteimi 12-15-2015 09:15 PM

Because everything else he's done has been a strong 1 for me. Just covering my bases. ;)

prisoner437x3y0 12-16-2015 01:01 AM

one of the few positive conscious hip hop records i like

Zhanteimi 12-16-2015 03:03 AM

Just saw Pitchfork's top 50. TPAB is #1.

TDanger19 12-30-2015 09:25 PM

Excellent Album. Kendrick has shown constant improvement with each new release.

Was there any question it wouldn't be? I know few who don't have it somewhere on their list.

Seltzer 01-01-2016 04:44 AM

I think this is a decent album. Not perfect, not album of the decade, or even last year for that matter. It's a bit inconsistent and I wish there were more tracks like The Blacker the Berry, Wesley's Theory, and King Kunta. Oh, and I love These Walls - it's clever :jailed:

Definitely agree there. The boo boos sound a little too much like Tom Haverford for my liking.

Tristan_Geoff 08-17-2016 10:26 PM

Hood Politics is one of my favorite tracks on there actually.

You must not be listening to it the right way. The whole album is fantastic.

To begin with I'm a metal head Listened to rap here and there but never got my attention..
I somehow stumbled across Mr.Lamar a little while ago and decided to invest in his work in buying my first rap album from him. By God was it worth it. He's absolutely amazing and I respect his and every one that collaborated on this album to the fullest :)

Trollheart 07-17-2022 02:34 PM

I don't care about this album. I'm just posting because I'm ****ing sick of seeing that thread "listen to this fire new song!" At least this will remove it from my most-recent-seen threads.

Mindfulness 09-28-2022 01:10 AM

Macklemore deserved the gammy win over this album!

Tristan_Geoff 09-28-2022 08:22 AM

Your so quirky for that

JiggleMonster 09-15-2023 04:10 PM

Literally a perfect album.

Ethen 12-17-2023 06:52 PM

Ehhh, I'm not entirely sure if I like it.

3/5 stars.

harrisonDergy 02-10-2024 11:23 AM
