I honestly think it birthed the regular use of “critic bait” on KTT1, if I had the time or attention span I’d try to prove that demonstrably

this is actually crazy to me that 8 years have passed already, like my mind wont even allow me to believe it for some reason

Both classics that serve different purposes unfair to put them against each other

TPAB did some things better than GKMC but the opposite is also true

Fun fact about "To Pimp a Butterfly":

"How Much a Dollar Cost" was the first song that Kendrick recorded for the album.

Yes. Gotta remember that everybody expected GKMC 2

Fav song here changes all the time, but this one right here hits different everytime I hear it.

That’s a fact casuals were super annoying about this album when it dropped

Loud and wrong asf

Couldn’t stand them short sighted basic ear havin ass mfs

This one of them ones that separated the real from the casuals imo

"ain't no bangers"

Ahhh you're right lol. Now I remember

Greatest album of the 2010s

Source? I think the subject of that song happened when he was in South Africa February 2014. So that means nothing recorded between GKMC and early 2014 made the cut

one of the greatest albums of all time

one of the greatest songs to be heard by the human ear

His best song.

I don't see the reception for Mr Morale turning around like they did with those albums. Because now you have people like me, who f***ed with both of those albums from the start who don't really f*** with Mr Morale

I think the sound and execution of the concept is just so messy and such a step down from his earlier work that people will never praise it unanimously like they do GKMC-DAMN

we been waiting for you, waiting for you

8 years later and we STILL haven't gotten the full song of this snippet

2:10

I'm convinced it's an incomplete song or the sample couldn't get cleared

TELL ME WHO THAT B**** NIGGA HATING ON ME?

TO PIMP A BUTTERFLY ANOTHER CLASSIC CD!!! (he was right)

This is definitely one of the best mixed albums I’ve ever heard but Kendrick’s lyrics are trash and he’s pretty boring. Tried liking this album plenty of times but I lose interest immediately

wish i was in more of a mood to play this rn but classic, masterpiece, timeless, inspirational, etc.

Masterpiece

8 years? Literally just made this face

Greatest album OAT

This and Blonde are my favorite albums of all time. My kids will know those albums.
