You're not weird.
I mean, To Pimp a Butterfly is certainly my favorite hip hop album of 2015 so far, but I listened to it so much in the first week that I haven't had it back on since (not counting the appearances it makes during "shuffle" sessions on my iPod).
I also still like good kid, mAAd city better, but only because of the nostalgia, the time I've spent with it, the countless times I've blasted it from start to finish.
I think TPaB is a huge record, and possibly a turning point for hip hop as a whole. However, sometimes I just want to put on something badass and a little goofy and thug the fuck out I my way to work or whatever. So I listen to other albums more as well. Like, yeah- Action Bronson, the new Curren$y, Ghostface & BadBadNotGood...
And it may actually be that I prefer Lupe's Tetsuo & Youth to TPaB, if I'm being honest. I pretty much thought Lupe was done. To have him back and better than ever is a pretty fucking awesome thing. Kendrick's album was going to be a success no matter what. But Tetsuo is still kind of a mystery... I still wonder if Lupe "did" it. But whenever "Mural" gets pumping, it all becomes very clear indeed.
