As far as TPAB is concerned, I can't warm to it. I understand why it is hailed as such a work of art, but it doesn't connect with me on a personal level. I'm a 25 year old white Irish man, though. So I doubt I'm the demographic of importance. Still, I can fuck with TPAB as far as lyricism and there's no doubt he's one of the best, but to me personally, GKMC was the better album. It was a coming-of-age narrative (admittedly non-linear) that, to me, is just as solid when broken down track-by-track or digested as a whole. The instrumentals and experimental styles on TPAB were jarring at times and I found myself thinking Kendrick was trying to hard to be Kendrick. Anyway, I know that TPAB is more ''socially aware'' but at times it's too fucking preachy for my liking.

I'm rambling now but yeah, GKMC was better imo.

Agree completely w the Kendrick portion
