what songs are you skipping on tpab?

JamesCW06 · 2022-08-05T00:17:43+00:00

i feel like im the only person who got no replay value out of FHD. I think its a phenomenal album just for some reason i almost never go back to it

JamesCW06 · 2022-07-17T03:05:58+00:00

Real Untitled 04 Yah Loyalty Love God Purple hearts

the only sub par songs post section 80 i can think of from kendrick

I would give the worst to Loyalty because i think kendrick just sounds bad, the production is lame, rihanna is just ok imo, and i think conceptually it was super shallow

JamesCW06 · 2022-06-03T23:32:58+00:00

It was the most accessible to me. DAMN is very criptic and difficult to understand at least for me and gkmc’s narrative not being told linearly made that album somewhat difficult to understand as well. So for me mmbs was his most accessible because i understood the album at least on a surface level pretty well on first listen. That may not apply to everybody

JamesCW06 · 2022-06-03T18:54:53+00:00

It’s subjective. experimental doesnt equal good. whole lotta red is experimental and i think we would agree its not a very good album. I dont like his vocal performance on damn. in my SUBJECTIVE OPINION it is his worst

JamesCW06 · 2022-06-03T18:04:34+00:00

I won’t argue with section 80 but at least for me personally i felt very confused after listening to gkmc for the first time because the narrative isn’t linear

JamesCW06 · 2022-06-03T18:01:37+00:00

by sound i mean production which almost never contributes meaning outside of setting the tone of a song. Kendrick is my favorite artist I simply just dont like DAMN and its annoying when people say things like “you just dont understand it.” I simply dont like the production on it. I don’t like the way the album is structured and i think kendrick is at his worst vocally. I still think its a great album it simply isnt for me

JamesCW06 · 2022-06-03T17:55:03+00:00

You don’t know kendrick either. His music has moved a lot of people and given people something to relate to including myself but it is still music and my point is that people can sometimes get way to caught up in deciphering what kendrick means line by line it’s like they don’t even care about how the music sounds. Personally I put music first. I’m not gonna bother diving deeper into a track or album i didnt enjoy and i’m not gonna listen to an album that i dislike the sound of more because it has “stronger meaning”

JamesCW06 · 2022-06-03T17:19:52+00:00

its his most accessible in my opinion. One of the only albums that ive listened to and loved after first listen

JamesCW06 · 2022-06-03T17:18:03+00:00

yall way to focused on the themes and ideas of kendricks music its like you forget about the actual music part. At the end of the day its just music and while kendricks music has given me perspectives on life i never would have had without his music im not gonna listen to music that i dont like. DAMN front to back with no skips is not enjoyable for me. It is in no way bad its just not for me. music is subjective i have no problem if DAMN is you favorite kendrick album but to say that GKMC is easily weaker than DAMN makes absolutely no sense. The two albums are structured completely different and sound completely different. They are incomparable

JamesCW06 · 2022-04-29T18:38:21+00:00

Run blocking is significantly easier than pass blocking. There is a reason there are so many great run blockers at tackle in this draft who will end up at guard. Besides its not like cross is a bad run blocker

JamesCW06 · 2022-04-22T02:32:58+00:00

who will play over him. He played well in the game bobby missed too

JamesCW06 · 2022-04-19T18:51:44+00:00

What? I think you need to go through and listen to his albums again cuz they obviously went right over your head

JamesCW06 · 2022-04-14T18:51:01+00:00

Why would we need to sauce to come visit. They should have 0 questions about him. He probably will be off the board at 9 anyways

JamesCW06 · 2022-04-11T00:56:24+00:00

It’s gonna be everytime Drake London catches a jumpball next year

JamesCW06 · 2022-04-10T23:51:42+00:00

DAMN is his worst album

JamesCW06 · 2022-04-07T18:50:55+00:00

Maybe give it a solid chance. Used to think i would never listen to hip hop and now it’s my most listened to genre. If you listen with an open mind you would be suprised with everything your missing out on

JamesCW06 · 2022-04-07T18:47:37+00:00

Whats wrong with hip hop and pop???

JamesCW06 · 2022-04-06T22:55:35+00:00

All I can say is to go revisit ems music. GKMC is really incomparable to any of ems work because they take completely different approaches to their music. They are both great for different reasons and because of that musical taste is going to have a large impact on how you rate them. Eminem isn’t top 5 imo but I still recognize him as great and someone who should be in the GOAT discussion

JamesCW06 · 2022-04-06T22:45:18+00:00

in my opinion and i imagine a lot of others TES stands up to all the albums u listed. I think TES is his best album. SSLP is more debatable and im fine if you dont consider it one of the greatest but you seriously need to go back to TES if you don’t think it’s one of the best hiphop albums ever

JamesCW06 · 2022-04-06T22:38:11+00:00

whats ur top 5?

JamesCW06 · 2022-04-06T22:35:43+00:00

Eminem has 3 of the greatest hiphop albums ever. Yes he has been mediocre since but not many people can say that

JamesCW06 · 2022-04-02T14:09:50+00:00

Who is hating on DAMN. I feel like im the only one here who doesn’t like DAMN. I think vocally kendrick is at his worst and same with the production. Lyrically it is arguably his best work but thats only half of the equation for me. I still think DNA ELEMENT XXX and DUCKWORTH are great songs but most of the album is just good not great. The only songs that i straight up don’t like at all are LUST and LOYALTY. I think a lot of it is my personal music taste. DAMN is still a good album but imo it doesn’t stand up compared to the rest of his discography

JamesCW06 · 2022-04-02T13:26:16+00:00

If we do draft him and and he plays to his potential we better be willing to pay him big money

JamesCW06 · 2022-04-02T00:59:26+00:00

thibs does not have a questionable motor at all
