This album got a raw deal. That joint had a bunch of JOINTS on it. It's just that the lows...are REALLY low.
You’re telling me I’m lying when I know people who are into music and they all shared different views of the album.
How many niggas you knew were driving around bumping TPAB in their cars? I haven’t seen many. Maybe we’re from different places.
30 something, Lost Ones, Dig A Hole
SMWYG only cause of the beat…everything else is a low for me

somehow this came to mind first
When this album FIRST dropped everyone hated it and said it was too weird. Then when all of that racism and political shit started happening big time in 2016 when Trump ran for office everyone started to jump on the bandwagon and wanted to be politically conscious while mixing it with trap music and shit.
Is this actually true, though? Serious question. I ask because a lot of people don't seem to have any in-between. It's either a high or a low. Sometimes, a joint is just 'ok' or 'cool' or 'good'.
With that said, here are the joints that I didn't fuck with AT ALL:
oh my god
hollywood
To me, everything else was somewhere between 'Eh, that one is cool.' and 'That's a banger'.
you aint gotta lie to kick itTPAB was booty then and booty now.
I understand the sentiment. For this very reason, I revisited this shit recently. Maybe 2 weeks ago. Still hate it. LOL.
So you went from nobody gave a fuck about those albums....to yeah I know people who were on either side of fence. And yet you're still clinging to this everybody hated it except the hiphop historians.
I know exactly where you're from tho

How come you never liked it? Just asking
you aint gotta lie to kick it
I didn’t like anything about the album honestly. The production was sketchy to me. The concepts werent for me. Etc. I’m a rappityrap nigga. And the shit kinda veered off of that way too much for me.
Kendrick is more of a rapper who’s skill I recognize and I respect more than I actually listen to his music. GKMC is by far my favorite shit from him. Both Damn and TPAB are both joints that make me say ‘I respect the artistry and I recognize that they aren’t wack...but they’re just not for me.’.
also, I’ll admit that 65% of the shit I listen to on a daily basis was released before maybe 2005.If that tells you anything. Lol.
Make a TPAB thread on THIS site and watch what happens lol
I never knew it got sooo much hate…I’ve been called a K Dot “stan” for bringing up it bein’ a classic lol
Why are you looking so deeply into this? You sound like a female constantly looking into shit for nothing
Yes in my OP I said everyone hated it, because that’s what I mostly remember. I then clarified my comment by saying I’m speaking from the perspective of the everyday dude….NOT music nerds or political theorists. Those were the only people I knew that praised the album when it was first released….Grammy’s and MTV awards don’t count. That shit is pop culture and Kendrick was ALREADY FAMOUS so of course the album was highly anticipated…..and guess what?????
A lot of people were initially disappointed
Go ahead and try to get the last word….like a female I know you won’t be able to sleep without it..
Wait a minute do the WOMEN in your life often, call you a liar?
