it's a solid album. not the masterpiece that everyone claims it is though. too damn long.
Most critics and listeners think it's a classic, but I, a random anonymous 4chan user, say you should not.
Listen to this dubstep remix of Jandek instead:

I listened to it for the first time yesterday and I just thought it was boring desu. The only track I really liked was King Kunta.
I actually enjoyed listening to Young Thug - Barter 6 more than To Pimp A Butterfly.
You should still listen to it though, maybe you'll like it.
nah just shitpost about how people who like it are cucks

Real good album, but if you're just expecting back to back bangers and everything that made GKMC great, you're gonna have a bad time.
It's got great tracks that stand alone on their own, it's just a whole lot different sounding than GKMC was, also tackles bigger issues, but still handles it all from Kendrick's unique perspective.
If GKMC was K-dot in the thick of it, TPAB is K-dot after he got out of that shit.
Yes. /mu/ might be the only online music community to actively shit on this album as much as they do, for no good reason whatsoever. Even getting past Kendrick's lyrics, which are the main sticking point for a lot of detractors from what I can tell, the production is second-to-none. There's lots of breadth in the sound, and the compositions are never boring. There's a lot going on, and anybody with even a modicum of taste should enjoy themselves with it. "WE WUZ KINGZZZ" or not, it's a neat album with a lot of ideas on display.

> tackles bigger issues
>liking music because it "tackles issues"
Le "hello reddit"
Okay I'm listening to it right now
Pretty groovy and funky, harkens back to 80s hip hop in some parts
Some of these featured artists are not good though
"Look both ways before you cross my mind"
fucking christ
Kendrick is actually really good so far
This is a lot different than other modern rap, I like it
>>61577004

>>61577503
Never said that was a benefit to the album, it's a contrast to GKMC's small scale story.
