real talk:
When Good Kid came out, I didn't know what to make of it. I liked "Bitch Don't Kill My Vibe" and "Poetic Justice," but was baffled by a lot of it. Kept listening. And by year's end, it was my fav album of the year.
When TPAB came out, I didn't know what to make of it. I liked the concept, the breadth, the instrumentals, but was baffled by a lot of it. It's led me to Kamasi Washington, Thundercat and Robert Glasper, and has kept me curiously coming back to it reluctantly since release. I still don't know if I love it, but I can't shake this feeling that it's a really important record to me this year.
