I can see that perspective @Orc aside from TPAB being preachy. I thought it was the opposite of preachy; it held up a mirror to the complex psychology of black identity in America. It didn't come across as message driven at all to me. But, I agree that GKMC has a broader sense of appeal and it doesn't compromise its depth or quality. Imo both are classics but I can't feel comfortable about it as long as @uh-oh disagrees.

Rap message boards are forever behind. In 2004, everyone on rap message boards was trashing Get Rich or Die Tryin' and College Dropout. By 2008, it was like "man, Graduation and Curtis sucked, they need to get back to where they used to be." Same thing is happening with Kendrick Lamar. And it's still happening with Kanye. I bet in three years, the message board consensus will be that Yeezus was the last great album Kanye dropped.
