I'd put them at the same level lyrically.
It's so bad. And lately he's switching it up into even more annoying voices on certain songs.

Not as high since it has numerous 8-9 minute tracks, but it's definitely a replayable album.
Yeah pretty much. I didn't keep a single song off the album - it felt super unnecessary. Anything on there that I'd even kind of like becomes boring or just makes me want to listen to his first two albums.

Can't tell that definitively since it's been out a month.
Nope.

While I think op unfairly paints all the fans with a broad brush I have to say if you guys dont find the institutionalized chorus and for free at least somewhat corny....I dunno guys. That's some of the worst shit I've heard from any artist let alone one with talent like kendrick
Still give me hope that he may course correct. Lazers was leading somewhere...dark...
So what happens if the same happens with TPaB and all the incoming releases?
We're not even 2 weeks in yet.
Oh no you didn't. Drizzy at the top of the game right now.
For me he hits a note that indie music in the eary 2000's had. Since 9th wonder kind of botched JUSTUS League he gives me the shit I need in a overly saturated cash money/weak lyrics great beats market.
He's also not overtly arrogant like Lupe and can still get deep without being pretentious.

anyone who says otherwise is fucking wrong.
To go from lazers to T&Y is what I would call a comeback. If T&Y came after the cool, i'm not sure how much more or less received the album would have been.
Maybe in sales. Everything else, no.
I don't like his beats from what I've heard except "Swimming Pools" cause dat trap shit. And I don't like his voice or his flow. I don't get it either, but whatevs.
A quick skimming of T&Y and I can tell at least that I'll like the beats better than most of kendricks stuff. His voice is less annoying than kendricks too but the flow is just as bad.

Well when we cross that bridge we'll see what happens....but so far I don't think the album is getting out of my playlist just yet. The same reason that I played Operation Doomsday out the whole summer of 2004. Once you experience a timeless record...there's no dying down of how much you play it.
Honestly, it's on par with To Pimp a Butterfly for best rap album so far.
He's talented and I suppose Youth proves that more than most of his recent work. The problem for me is that Youth never reaches a decent peak. Just because the valleys aren't as bad as Lasers', I still don't want to listen to consistent mediocrity.
At least I could pull a song or two off of Lasers and F&L2. I'll keep a look out for future Lupe projects, but at this point I don't expect him to reach The Cool level again. He needs better (more interesting) production.
Fjordson, i mess with you, as i see you in the Jazz hop thread. I like you, and i respect your opinion, i just always thought he was very weak and cant take him seriously.
That said he is killing it, but in different ways than Ken
Nah.
Are you saying most of Kendrick's songs are trap shit, or that Swimming Pools is? Either way you're off
Yess
As does usual January releases. It could be well forgotten by the end of this year.
Good. There is one good song on that record. And that one barely qualifies.
Wow. Album is very very solid, and a true follow up to Food and Liquor.
You listen to Tetsuo and tell me its unlistenable after going back and listening to LASERS.
Unlistenable lmfao, myriad hyperboles in this thread
If I'm honest with myself, it's mediocre. I probably will never listen to it again tho. It has some nice production, but Lupe's lyricism and song concepts are still laughable.
I like Madonna and Prisoner 1 & 2.
