GKMC is more cohesive, I just go back to songs more often on MBDTF than I do GKMC. That bottomline quality assessment right there. GKMC has more songs that are skips too. I also like the narrative in MBDTF and variety better.
Actually, with that in mind, might as well put Owl Pharoah above GKMC.

Pretty much my assessment, except switch the albums.
I feel like my track record for top threes in the rapup threads is flawless.

MBDTF's only narrative is for more minimalism in production, and yeah, i sure wish GKMC had such timeless classics as hell of a life, devil in a new dress, and monster, that song where everyone was so lazy, nicki came out on top
top 10 album right there for C students

MBDTF and "minimalism in production" don't belong in the same sentence unless there's a "laughs at the idea of" between them

yeah, i should've said it was an argument for it
Ha! This is great man. Good shit
Also- Power is my favorite song of all time. So just for that MBDTF is the best.
Taste is so personal tho.

MBDTF is a really good album, the grainy-ness of it is a legit complaint, still one of my favorites.
good stuff soul

allow one decent song to elevate an otherwise forgettable album to decent status & then pretend it's better than an actual classic brehs
1. Lil Ugly Mane - Mista Thug Isolation
2. Danny Brown - XXX
3. Ratking - So It Goes
4. Freddie Gibbs & Madlib - Pinata
5. Kendrick Lamar - GKMC
6. Death Grips - The Money Store (I know Courage didn't have the courage to put this in his list, but fuck it)
7. Curren$y - Pilot Talk
8. Kanye West - Yeezus
9. Nas - Life is Good
10. ...eh
not going to lie, i think i've spent more of this decade listening to older stuff than anything

Released 2 years ago and already a classic huh?
MBDTF ain't no classic either. But It's nails it's concept (Superstar makes maximalist, ostentatious, self-depreciating album about Celebrity in 2010) a little bit better than GKMC (Gang Violence is bad, everybody should really stop glorifying it.)
Anyway, in my opinion there really isn't that much of difference and it comes to personal preference breh.
There are many. Sing About Me/Dying of Thirst, Money Trees, Maad City, Sherane, etc
gkmc is an instant classic you don't have to wait to anoint it the title.

I hate saying this, but this is as bad an opinion as when I liked undisputed.
I'm really interested to see who has the best new album between Kanye & Kendrick, looking like a good year.
sorry.
sorry.
If that's the only thing you got from GKMC then you really should listen to it more attentively. Finding yourself and not accepting the cliche of becoming a product of your environment is mainly what it's about. Everyone's not pre dispositioned to a certain life because of where you grew up.
but gang violence is also bad, yes.
Since 2010:
1. good kid maad city- Kendrick Lamar
2. Habits N Contradictions- Schoolboy Q
3. Old- Danny Brown
4. MBDTF- Kanye West
5. Watch the Throne- Kanye/Jay Z
6. Section.80- Kendrick Lamar
7. Covert Coup- Curren$y
8. XXX- Danny Brown
9. Nostalgia 64- Denzel Curry
10. Trap Lord- A$AP Ferg
Surprised at the lack of WTT mentions and Yeezus was one of my personal biggest album disappointments ever. Went hyped as fuck for it pre launch but was severely let down. Hope Yeezy goes back to his old style. I loved 808s but hated the experimental style he went with Yeezus. Praying he doesn't go with the same route for his album this year.

if it wasnt on yalls lists idve forgotten it, yeezus had some missteps but at least put forth an effort
yeah, i can call something a modern classic, they still occur in nature (however rare)
and im fine with reducing them to those lines but thing is, the narrative on MBDTF - that it's supposed to be a mess cause that's reflective of ye at the moment etc - is really such a bad pass you might as well say the last few Roots albums are genius cause they made them while on nyquil & donated the proceeds to insomnia research
was my favorite of his for years, now it goes between that & all eyez
