TPAB is absurdly overrated and people need to stop using it as some kind of benchmark.

Overrated how? Is there a better album that explores the black experience in America more? How about all the live instrumentation all over the record?

Using it as a benchmark in his discog is fine. It’s the last time he bothered taking any risk creatively. Generic isn’t the word I’d necessarily use at the forefront of my critique, but safe and predictable would.

Whoa they recorded some stuff live? Okay nvm it’s a masterpiece.



And idc what it’s exploring, it’s bloated and the production makes it all sound so sterilized. Some great tracks and like a solid 3.3/5 but #1 highest rated album on rym is a joke

I will happily concede it’s the last time his music took bold steps tho

tpab is a benchmark album period. it absolutely deserves all of the ungodly amount of praise it gets its just unfortunate that a lot of it that we see on the internet is especially from people that aren't even below the water on a hip hop iceberg and think the genre starts and ends with a prefix of "alternative" or "experimental"

The real benchmark is Mr. Morale but y'all ain't ready to have that conversation yet

Mr Morale is the benchmark for what? That’s the start of the downturn in his music. Even if Damn wasn’t as creative as his previous records it’s still a good album, Mr morale not so much.

TPAB is not an easy listen, but I think that's because it's the opposite of being a sterile experience. It's just really dense and heavy lol
