lmao @ that GIF
Flex pls, just hang it up.
Sooner or later Drake is gonna hit up Breakfast Club or at least Angie and they're gonna put Hot97 underground for this fukkery. Where are the PR people at at Hot97?

yall following any of these rappers snapchats? i think Freddie Gibbs got the best one
I like MBDTF a lot, but Monster is the corniest shit. Kanye's verse is pretty damn good, but everyone else is hamming it up.
And why are there two posse cuts back-to-back? And why do both have Jay Z? And why is Rick Ross only on Monster for 8 bars?
Like I said, I do like MBDTF, but some of it hasn't aged well at all.

Interview: Terrace Martin Explains Why Kendrick Lamar May Retire 'To Pimp A Butterfly'
[...]
- I think the album’s importance was apparent before we even knew what to do with the music. I don’t know another album that’s got that sort of reaction out of my generation. What about you?
It took me five years to fully grasp Makaveli [The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory]. When I was in high school, I heard it the first day it came out, and then I didn’t hear it again until way after that. People think music goes through your ears, but really it hits your spirit first, then your ears. With music, I gotta live with it. I gotta throw it in the car, drive to it, talk over it, eat to it, just have it in the background, not even think about it. I have to really live with the music and the artist before I really grasp it. I’m going through that now with Black Messiah.
That album was one of my biggest inspirations when I was producing on To Pimp a Butterfly. Black Messiah was the newest, freshest thing that me, Sounwave, Kendrick, and Thundercat felt we could grasp and believe in. We were fans, and yet we felt like we were a part of it. We wanted to coincide with D’Angelo’s energy.
[...]
- Kendrick has talked about possibly not performing songs from To Pimp a Butterfly after he finishes the run of Kunta’s Groove Sessions. Why?
We didn’t do that album for popular culture. We did that album for people who have no way out. We did that album for people who can’t even afford to go to the shows. We did an album for people who need hope. You don’t prostitute that.
- People are taking it as a sign that Kendrick is going to start rolling out a new album sooner than we might’ve expected. What new stuff are you working on with him?
We’re not working. We’re just studying. Playing Sly Stone records, Miles Davis, and eating a lot of vegetables.
- Is that a euphemism?
No, for real. And praying for a better day. We’re chilling.

Is that Steve Blum on these new Logic album skits? AOTY contender for that alone.

ahaha...my man

flex what are you doing man
Let's all be honest, though: MBDTF is a bit overrated. Sure, I loved the hell out of it when it came out, but is it All-Time-Top-10-On-Metacritic good? Don't know. With regards to overall influence on the industry's sound and style 808s and GR are probably still his most relevant ones (my least favorites personally, though).
Someone convince me otherwise?
Someone convince me otherwise?
Yes
It's probably Kanye's worst album imo, but meh. Opinions.
I wouldn't go that far. LR >= CD > MBDTF > 808s >= GR > Yeezus

Basketball Wives is great, I don't care what anyone says. That and Careless are infectious. Rearview, Narcos, Extradite (these Black Thought verses, jesus christ), McDuck, Lately, Forever And A Day, Insecurities, and Freddie Gordy are all top tier Gibbs IMO. Great album.
EDIT: No forreal, Black Thought snaps on Extradite

Naw
They're pretty much polar opposites when it comes to their strengths and concepts.
Definitely; MBDTF's strengths are in execution, production, effective storytelling, super high consistency within the singles and the album at large, memorable lyrics, not having cringeworthy skits and outros.
TPAB on the other hand doesn't deserve enough praise for the quality of it's mastering. Also, the mastering, wow. The mastering is out of this world. Top marks.

Neither are overrated, and kind of similar in that they both tell multilayered/multifaceted stories.

Well Des, you've gotta understand that people are going to constantly go at bat for something that gave them their first exposure to a new and exciting experience.

you know it's been a while since Yeezus when we almost forget about the Kanye cycle
also one of the best songs from the whole process that didn't actually appear on the album has got to be this

This verse had me thinking about Black Thought for the first time in a long time. Used to be a Roots stan from about DYWM-Phrenology and just thought he always served his purpose, obviously incredibly skilled and passionate, but just wasn't memorable for whatever reason. Is this how most people view him? I never hear people talk about him.

I can't actually think of a better intro to a hip hop album than Ambitionz az a Ridah
maybe Wesley's Theory but it's too early to tell

I wish I could do that again.
Whew at Adele numbers, she is a juggernaut in the industry, that's some 80s/90s number she is pulling out in 2015.
No fucking way this album did this much
It's going to fucking beat Nsync isn't it?
