I wasn't really trying to say it was like a standout track or anything, it just shows that Kendrick is trying to have fun even with the heavy themes that he's trying to get across.

Lord jesus we have used Metacritic as a measurement of album success  Extreme real talk: TPAB is constructed in a manner that is sensitive to black culture and incorporates spoken word and much more poetic structure while being uncomfortably in your face at times. It's drat near an afro-centric body of work. And you know what? It made Kendrick into the most appropriated and accepted rapper I can think of in a long time. It really begun when "I" came out and that entire campaign. It's almost like people can point to his album and be like "look at this right there - racism's over, move along". Kendrick is the Obama, the "my black friend", the safe negro, the hipster neighborhood in Brooklyn that is one stop before Bed Stuy. In terms of it's importance it might be one of the most important and substantive albums of our time, to be honest. And even in all that it's still self aggrandizing and was not an easy listen. It's trying SO HARD to carve out it's own self important lane. It's not even the best album of the year, by any longshot; BUT the real AOTY Tetsuo & Youth won't get appropriated and consumed in the same manner as TPAB - It's too raw, it's too dark and it's WAY too real. That's my only issue with the album outside of how it actually sounded to my ears. It got SUCH a critical acclaim and epic levels of praise that it all but shut everyone off to all of the AMAZING music that has come out this year. We want to talk about classics? We can't even get there because the music of the year has been drowned in the watery shadow of TPAB.

I think history will look back on Tetsuo & Youth as a classic of this era, along with GKMC. Nobody else here seemed to like Summertime '06 that much but that's the other AOTY contender in my book. It's pretty long though and I know I haven't fully digested the whole thing so I need to spend some more time with it but for now that's how I feel.

I wasn't really trying to say it was like a standout track or anything, it just shows that Kendrick is trying to have fun even with the heavy themes that he's trying to get across. For Free is one of the best tracks on the album, specifically because it is fun and freewheeling and vibrant. If the rest of the album sounded more like that and not a symposium at the Lyricist's Lounge I would have actually liked the album. e: also Summertime 06 is a great album and one of my favorites of the year. I feel like right now Vince Staples is where Kendrick was when Section 80 dropped, and I'm really interested in seeing where he goes from here.

thathonkey posted:I think history will look back on Tetsuo & Youth as a classic of this era, along with GKMC. Summertime 06 is actually my current pick for AOTY but I haven't really said that until now because there's a ton of other albums I haven't listened to yet this year and don't feel like my opinion has been fully-qualified. For example, I am just now listening to Tetsuo & Youth (thanks Yuzenn/other ppl in this thread who posted about it recently and reminded me to get to that) HorseRenoir posted:e: also Summertime 06 is a great album and one of my favorites of the year. I feel like right now Vince Staples is where Kendrick was when Section 80 dropped, and I'm really interested in seeing where he goes from here. Definitely. Blue Suede and Senorita had a huge impact, but the album itself doesn't seem to have had quite the same traction, which I think also parallels Section 80 & ADHD.

Hahah a whole lotta words in here to try to justify that even though TPaB isn't good to listen to it's really important because some critics said so or whatever. Like I said, that's the benefit of being able to listen to and appreciate hip hop without worrying about this superfluous bullshit. I can just say "this album sounds bad so it's bad" without worrying about a bunch of other bullshit. Free your mind. Enjoy music for the actual music.

I can just say "this album sounds bad so it's bad" without worrying about a bunch of other bullshit. I think the album sounds good, thus making it good. See, we're now at an impasse, which is why conversations about music generally don't start and end with "I think this music sounds good/bad." Otherwise we might as well move this thread and rename it "PYF rap/hip-hop/R&B song."

Kind of agreed, though I like some of the stuff on the first disc ("Norf Norf"). This is my favorite track (it's also, not coincidentally, awesome live): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NuErF0DLCl8

if you slept on vince staples' Hell Can Wait EP last year and liked Summertime 06 you should go back and check that out for sure. it's different but good and you can tell he was gettin ready to make something special now in retrospect when you listen to it (even though I called it in one of the versions of this thread that he was gonna do big things. i basically discovered vince staples yall  )

thathonkey posted:thanks for actually responding with something thoughtful. so you're saying you like future when he's being vulnerable? i think that is what most people want from musicians and it is what makes the best ones so intriguing. if future had more songs focused on him as an individual and what makes him unique instead of having personal stuff come out in spurts mixed in with random talk about lean and loving bitches in songs like march madness that'd be great all future's [really good] songs are about him though. just like bruddas posted:Off 2 milligrams, I forgot about my ex-ho vs swimming pools (drank) posted:If I take another one down, I'ma drown in some poison, abusin' my limit future freestyles everything so we get drug-addled but self-aware stream of consciousness raps that, to me, are way more interesting (and relatable, with better knack for melodies and production). k dot clearly goes to work with a mission statement of trying to carefully craft righteous and important artisanal hip-hop verses. i mean it's two completely different styles and i like both songs, but pretty much anyone can sit down and pen some "deep poo poo". i can go read poetry on deviantart if i want that, it's not bringing anything fresh to the table. a rapper battling his demons in real-time over fire beats is something new and exciting and that's why it's been radically successful. it would devalue future's music to slow it down and structure it the way kendrick does. i mean that's pretty much what he did on honest and that's why the album was not so bueno compared to everything he's dropped this year
