You were right about TPAB too bro. I said Kendrick would never top Good Kid, and even though I like Good Kid better, that's tantamount to likening Late Reg more than MBDTF. I'm probably wrong in some way that I'll later regret, but Good kid just sounds like an actual overhaul/reboot of early '90s Compton hardcore shit, only with, you know, crazy intellect and a socially peaceful message.
But anyway, you said he was going to drop a high concept album that would be all charged up, and you were right. I was skeptical when I heard "i" ... thought he was going to get all soft on us, but you called it.
If I'm being honest (I hate that phrase by the way... "If I'm being honest"... people say that shit all the fucking time right now, specifically millennials and people on the show New Girl), but if I'm being honest, the main reason TPAB didn't end up on my personal top 10 was because it was on everyone else's. Like, quite literally. So when I put my shit together and gave it it's final touch ups, I decided to move it to honorable mention because I wanted to promote the album's that got no love in 2015, like HudMo and Prefuse and Pusha, who made a dope ass album that made no kind of lasting impact and was just forgotten the minute Future announced his 300th mixtape of the past two months.
But if I felt like putting TPAB on my list (which I publicize on blogs and Twitter) wouldn't have just normalized the thing, I would probably have done so. I rocked those early singles so hard, so much. Woke up to "Blacker the Berry" every day for a month. Just had some trouble listening to the record all the way through
