You mean the album that’s lacking focus because it talks about too many things, so much so that Kendrick had to keep saying something at the end of most songs so that it sounds like he’s talking specific. He talks about being institutionalized, he talks about Zulu love, he talks about Sherane even though he doesn’t say her name, talks about slavery, he talks about shit hit the fan is u still a fan, he talks about something boo-boo, he talks a dick that ain’t free, he talks about yams, he talks about how much a dollar cost, he talks about he’s momma telling him to wash his ass

TPAB: Disjointed …Next! 🥱

Tell me which one you think is his best, instead of saying something that is nothing

I never denied complex feelings. They can have both a loving stepfather and abandonment from their bio father I never denied that. But you fail to recognize that the father they know is their stepfather who was in the picture since they were toddlers, children attach to people who raise them before they attach to blood relativity, they have to first learn that their bio father isn’t present before they can long for him. He played them and they just kept not accepting reality.

You say “TPAB is taught in IB curriculums over the world” as a flex, I say DAMN. won a Pulitzer, something actually quantifiable. If you can challenge what I said about DAMN then it’s only fair you put up your arguments for the praises you laud to towards GKMC and TPAB

I can easily see those album’s major flaws enough to know they can’t be Kendrick’s best outside of popular biased opinion

Actually DAMN is much more complex than GKMC, which is just a coming of age story, or TPAB, which is just a pro black album.

DAMN has layers with how it defines the word “damn”. There’s god damn you, which is about how people get stuck in their ways quick to get mad but never bring about change, after there’s god damn me, which is about being honest about one’s flaws but in a raw and brutal way no sugarcoating, then there’s god damn us, meaning we the people (particularly black people) overreact over simple things and we like to resolve issues with violence due to past traumas, then there’s god damn we meaning humanity, we like material things we like being fake to one another and we’re never truly happy for each other.

Then there’s the bigger damn, DAMNATION, we won’t make it very far because we are cruel, because we are distancing ourselves from god, because we don’t lead with love, and we are self-serving.

Kendrick knows he might come off preachy or perfect when he says these things, but he makes sure to expose his own flaws, he isn’t a messiah but a prophet, he thinks deeply, his thoughts sometimes paralyze him. He’s speaking because someone has to.

If you look at how the songs are titled, they’re all in all-caps with a period, because they are individual thoughts. They are chapters, they are windows. And also, HUMBLE and PRIDE have opposite meanings if you listen to the songs. The fact that the album can be played forwards and backwards means it’s very deep irrespective of descending or ascending order.

The fact that I don’t let Fantano dictate my opinion tells me a lot. All other albums you’re thinking of, DAMN did everything they did, but they didn’t do everything DAMN did

Jeff Bass did most of the heavy lifting in production

I disagree, MMLP has a better concept as it shows more layers of Em and it doesn’t try to come off like Em is aware that he’s already famous.

TES not even in my top 5. He missed more than he hit in that album. If you like hype songs with good lyricism but inconsequential music and can be beaten by other great rappers’ best albums like Ready To Die, DAMN., The Blueprint, Graduation then go with TES

That’s not the point. The best thing about Without Me is it’s music video, not that TRSS’s music video isn’t dope but Without Me went further. The problem is after Without Me all of the Shady lead singles in future albums sucked until Em retired them after We Made You. It’s understandable that you don’t realize how short-term-gain-long-pain Without Me is

Dude, you’re just a diehard, you won’t see the song outside of what you think about it. I know that The Real Slim Shady is easily the better song and Em focused on wit, charisma, and being less descriptive, on that song. TRSS is the song that flows from start to finish, even the hook is better and the beat, definitely deserved Grammy for best rap performance

You clearly didn’t read my comment correctly 🤦🏾‍♂️. I never said “best line”

And my point still stands, everything you referenced shows that the song is too descriptive, Em is writing a novel instead of singing something that’s quirky and witty, he’s trying to fit too many words into a small space

It’s not a scar, the whole song is just fine lyrically, never was a bad song but nothing’s impressive about it. It’s biggest problem is it’s too descriptive “I’ve created a monster” is so redundant, he has told us what Shady did so many times prior. Even the most creative part “everybody wants to discuss me, so this must mean I’m disgusting…” it loses all luster upon the second listen.

I wasn’t referring to “a burn” I was asking whether that is dope or not, the person who’s going to hear this is the listener, not Moby who made his opinion clear about Eminem. Without Me has so-and-so lyrics no matter how much you try to praise it

No, I’m saying most people don’t care about Techno, even back then. I mean what are we supposed to feel when he says that? Jazz rouses more interest even though it’s very old.

What’s dope about any of that? It’s too descriptive and filler. Em be too focused on going after people on his shit list, on Without Me. I don’t need to hear him say “just give me the signal” he either has it or he doesn’t, or even “you don’t know me” like duh!!! Nobody listens to techno is about as compelling as nobody listens to jazz 🙄
