I don't get it either Drifter. I definitely thought GKMC was slightly overrated at the time of release but it was only bc it was played everywhere I went. That's an issue moreso on me though. It is easily one of the best hip hop records of the 2010s

sometimes it's a case where it feels like the underrated album should be talked about more but u don't need to put the more established album down

GKMC was pretty formative in me getting back into hip hop after not really having much interest in it through high school. it was the first “modern” rap album that I was like wow this is getting radio play but it’s also way deeper than what is normally on the radio. I wonder if there’s anything else like that out there…

Its not about putting the established album down, it's about my enjoyment of his work. Gkmc is the album is return to the least outside of something like UU or OD. The narrative of the album isn't as compelling as the ones on his others even though songs like Sing About Me or maad city are some of his best. It also has songs like real, backseat freestyle, poetic justice, and Compton which are some of his weakest. Its a playlist album for me.

They'll come around. Kendrick has come so far in his career it's not really fair to keep holding up that album as his best when something like TPAB exists. I could even see this album being reexamined as his best one day.

there's a great ep in here certainly, but there's just something so sterile feeling about the majority of the beats and i can't get over it. also find pretty much the entirety of the second disc to be among his worst material.

GNX slaps ye



Its worth noting all his work is great, gkmc is not my absolute favorite though. I might even put Damn over it.

Tpab>section>gnx>damn>gkmc=MM>OD>UU

man UU is fantastic. also, agreed we don't need to shit on GKMC to give love to this one, my bad for following that trend. i just can't for the life of me understand the low ratings for this. also, the beats on this are fucking immaculate alex wtf

I might change my mind on the backhalf's order but 1. GKMC and 2. TPAB is solidified forever

"i think this album is underrated in the grand scheme of things but tearing down the classic album is just unnecessary"



I never put it down though, I think GKMC is amazing and I think this one is too, on the same level
