I didn't get that impression at all. The track fits well and is a fantastic interlude, especially towards the end.
yes. I like that definition. TPAB feels like a album made by a musician, not a rapper.

Had a listen through it all.
How Much A Dollar Cost is my favourite on the album.
So good.

A lot of people are going to hate this album for having no bangers and call it a snoozer, but I feel there are about a half dozen or more tracks on here that will age well. The album will be forgotten about by the masses as soon as Kanye and Action Bronson drop their shit, it will win no awards and others will call it a dud. But I feel it will be a conversation piece for music critics and other artsy types for a long ass time.
This is what I mean. This is the demographic that will love the shit out of this album.
It got put back on pre-order, in the dumbest move ever and a great way to get people to pirate your album!
The full explicit is still up on Spotify. Guess they don't want money
Did he play every instrument on the album and write everything himself?
This is very important to know whether it is real music or not
Expected nothing else from a Ye stan tbh

Best fake hip hop interview since Rhymefest's interview of Michael Jackson

This is going to take awhile to sink in. I have no idea what to think after first listen. Such a huge change in direction from GKMC...not that it's a bad thing, just really unexpected
But are all musicians rappers?

Slept on it and giving it a couple spins now. This is just something else, I don't really know how to put it. I was worried after hearing "i" for the first time, but Kendrick pulled it out. He doesn't give a fuck about singles or features or any of that shit, this music in the purest form.

Ima cosign the hype about Mortal Man. Holy fuck is that a well composed, well executed track. And the last few seconds of it...wow. That shit sank in.
I think you're underestimating that my man
jazz is essentially America's greatest contribution to music
I mean, I'm white. then again I've been a music lover since my inception and went to college in one of the cradles of jazz music (Charleston). so I don't know.

Way to go people, misinterpret my post for the sake of misinterpretation
What I meant was that GKMC sounds more like it was made with the typical "receive beat -> write text/think of text -> record -> next one" structure than TPAB does. To me, TPAB sounds like it was made with much more care and with much more people involved.
I'm not saying rappers are not musicians, that's just Courage trying to derail my post because I don't like Young Thug and Rich Gang in general

To Pimp a Butterfly |OT| I Swear I Is Better Here
If this album did get an OT it HAS to be titled "I remember you was conflicted"
Or maybe "Pac, Pac Pac..."

Did Flying Lotus collab at all on this album? There are a lot of similar vibes.
This album pleases me greatly as I thought the Kendrick+Flylo collab on "Never Catch Me" was fantastic and had wanted them to work together some more.

He produced Wesley's Theory. He gave Kendrick a bunch of beats that he recorded to but didn't make the album.

Yeah aside from a few songs in it, the bulk of GKMC felt a lot like young Kendrick. TPAB feels more grown up, like he's found his own sound and it's great. Love the soul and funk influences.
I've never loved Kendrick so my opinion doesn't mean much, but I'm not really a fan of this. Kendrick sounds awkward on most of these tracks to me and his already weird voice is made worse to me by all the high pitched goofiness and vocal effects. And those interludes. Holy shit are they bad.
Mortal Man and How to Change a Dollar are great tracks, though. And I kinda like Momma too.
