Is this better than any of the 2000's hip hop albums?
MBDTF, Yeezus and Butterfly will be remembered as the most important of our era.
if charts and pop sales are important to you I guess throw a Drake release or something from Minaj in too.
Several of them, yes.
>not feath grips

Better than 99% of them but there's a couple of albums that are better.

>>66077638
you are so white it hurts
>>66077743
KYS faggot im middle eastern
Am I the only person who doesn't love or hate this album? It's a solid 7 and GKMC is an 8 but neither are as good as stuff like MBDTF or Money Store imo
IMO one of the best hip hop albums ever
Maybe only The Marshall Mathers LP and The Eminem Show could be better in 00's
>>66077401
It's better than most of them, yes
>>66077759
Eww, middle eastern kys
>>66077444
GKMC will ultimately be remembered more fondly than TPAB but TPAB will forever be in the conversation
>>66078007
Because TPAB was a political piece. The music sounds dated already.
>>66077401
I did not like this album one bit, maybe only The Blacker The Berry. GKMC is so much better
>>66078172
nah, if anything it's GKMC that sounds dated. it's pretty clear that with GKMC Kendrick wanted to stick with trendy "banger"-ish production, while on TPAB he matured and tried some more interesting stuff.
>>66078231
GKMC managed to convey the same political message as TPAB without being as hamfisted as possible. People will look back at TPAB and realize that this was released during the height of BLM movement so critics kinda had to like it. GKMC was clearly the superior album. TPAB is a 6/10
MUH DICK ITS A METAPHOR DUDE LOL
>>66077743
Why does having good taste in hip-hop make you white?
>>66077743
That isn't white. He's right outside of Eminem.
>>66078421
No, Eminem is good.
>>66077638
Five of these are better than TPAB
>>66078421
Early Eminem is some of the best hip-hop ever released
>
>>66077638
>>66077401
Common-Be and The Roots-Game Theory are the only ones that stand a chance, in my mind at least.
However TPaB AND GKMC both deserve to be on the Mount Rushmore of Hip Hop Records
>>66077638
>the eminem show
kek
>>66078888
QUADS
>>66078007
>>66078290
Finally somebody fucking said it, big ups
GKMC truley is his magnum opus
>>66077638
replace one of those with slim shady LP and we have a deal.
[spoiler]its hard putting eminem on the list his first 3 albums are legit masterpieces, but you cant have all of them put up there [/spoiler]

I sadly think this will get forgotten about, it's grown on me quite a bit since it's release and found its way into my top ten. I think it's better than TPAB though.
>>66079129
Thank you for posting this.
Bandana is gonna be better than this one I feel like.
>>66077401
Yes.
Along with The Money Store and MBDTF
Its not even kendricks best hip hop album of the 2000s
>>66078271
Not at all. TPAB sounds like a product of the opolitical atmosphere as oppose to a piece of music. It's like the Wall.
>>66077401
XXX is better.
>>66077638

still haven't heard
>>66078314
cause unlike white people, black people listen to hip hop for its artistic expression, not exclusively for its social value
>>66080981
Nice racist nonsense anon
>>66081073

>>66078172
This is such a dumb criticism. It's really not that political, it's more just pro black, which isn't really a political standpoint as much as a personal thing. The production doesn't really fit in any hip hop subgenre, and instead more fits in it's own category. If anything the poppier production on Good Kid will age worse.
Not my favorite album ever but I do love TPAB. The complexity and creativity of the project is insane and I don't think the sonic experience suffered at all. Amazing lyricism and still managed 2 songs that got radio play (Kunta and Alright). Great project.
>>66080758
XXX is better than TPAB? C'mon man. Even if you slightly prefer XXX for whatever reason you have to admit the complexity and depth of TPAB is incredible and the lyricism is on another level. Personal preference is one thing but if we're being even a little bit objective it's TPAB.
All 2000s hip hop albums shall forever be compared to Deltron 3030. No exceptions.
Based off of this statement, OP's pictured album is pretty average.
>>66077401
Madvillainy, Donuts, and GKMC are its only competitors.
>>66080981
what do black people listen to?
no naming trap artists.
>>66077638
no
>food & liquor
>Relapse
>The Documentary
>Carter 2
>Trap Musik
>Stillmatic
>Graduation
>Trap or die
>Purple Haze
list is really missing some essentials of the 2000's
>>66078172
I'd say GKMC will age a lot worse. It sounds dated already desu
still good tho
>>66079106
>his first 3 albums are legit masterpieces
>Infinite
>The entire album where he rips off Nas
>>66083638
But Fishscales and/or Supreme Clientele. EL-P's work? "cLOUDDEAD"? Aesop Rock's work? bones' work? "God Loves Ugly"? There's more than just GKMC, Donuts and Madvillainy dude.
>>66083397
I love this damn album. It's so fucking good desu.
>>66083703
>relapse
HAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA
It's so fucking bad, like soooo fucking bad.
>>66084086
I find it one of his most accessible works besides something like the MM LP
>>66078172
>TPAB was a political piece
the only people who say this are the ones who havent heard it
>>66083046
such a newfag way of thinking
>I like this more than that, but can't explain why. Good thing I can just blame it on "personal preference" when I'm being retarded
I'll send you money for a rope and a stool
>>66083944
We don't count Infinite. It's pretty much juvenilia at this point.
>>66080713
what the hell are you talking about
where did this "TPAB is a political album" meme come from? is it because of all the "journalism" sites pushing all the "MUH BLACK PRIDE" shit in their reviews?
there were like two maybe three songs on TPAB that qualify as "political", or at least political the way you would call something like Public Enemy political. I don't think TPAB was meant to be some big statement, and I've practically memorized all the lyrics.
like my favorite song from it is How Much A Dollar Cost and I can tell you from memory that song is not political at all. it's just good storytelling
