We're all chemicals, vitamins and minerals
Vicodin with inner tubes, wrapped around the arm
To see the vein like a chicken on the barn
Top Cat chat, let's begin another yarn
That's flying saucer cheese, or is it chicken parm'?

It’s cool to say that but admit that most people don’t agree. And that’s fine too

Kendrick has such a greater reach than Lupe will ever have.

Lupe is just as talented conceptually and lyrically but artistically is where Kendrick separates himself.

he was just luckier/smarter in the team that surrounds him

lupe got caught in label s*** and that pushed him back a lot unfortunately

still two goats on their own right

just to be clear on the "critic bait" s*** so it doesn't seem as vapid

its not the topics - nothing wrong with what kendrick is saying

its the oversaturated last minute additional jazz instrumentation and production , skits and interludes that bother me and felt forced to please white critics

the tpab singles were beautiful and powerful anthems without the added production, "i", "the blacker the berry" , specially "alright" and then he added this knockoff d'angelo black messiah (which is an absolutely brilliant album) jazz production to make them please the industry and the grammy's

when he doesn't need none of that s*** , talking on the singles he ruined "I" on the album, "alright" was overproduced it would have been his biggest single ever if he kept it simpler, and even "blacker the berry" on the album has some additional boring unnecessary production to please white critics that despise rap but love jazz

my cornball rich art school fake hippie colleagues loved the album "and they don't like his other stuff because it doesn't feel as legit", it makes me want to slap them in the face, just because they hear thundercat jamming it makes them discredit k-dots other work

just to keep this clear I still think the album is like an 8.5-9.0 , and im not hating on kendrick, I just believe the last minute over instrumentation and the pseudo deep s*** ruined the lasting appeal of most of the songs

i mean food and liquor is probably in my top 10 personal favorite albums, but he’s never made anything as good as gkmc or tpab

Ignoring Section 80. and the trash that Lupe's label imposed him in F&L2 and LASERS

F&L = GKMC / TC >= TPAB / T&Y > DAMN

even Drogas Wave and Drogas Light can be compared to Untitled Unmastered. in terms of loosies ( even tho the first disk of drogas wave is a brilliant album of his own, but the second part is just loosies )

also can we finally acknowledge that Tetsuo & Youth is a f***ing classic

• blacker the berry og

and alright was originally a fabolous song - same hook and instrumental - dj's were playing it - I don't have alright without the extra instrumentation but here is fabulous version - he eventually released it -

Meh, I barely notice any differences between OG and album version of TBTB

Fab’s version of Alright was cool, but I prefer the Kendrick’s since the mixing was better and drums went hardsr
