Yeah, also it's a different kind of depth. Kendrick is an artist in the tradition of Bob Dylan. Kanye is decidedly more Beatles-like entity. Kendrick - storyteller, Kanye - maker of musical behemoths.
I'd be disappointed if I expected something like TPAB too. But I never thought that was in the cards. I don't expect a lyrical odyssey from Ye. I expect a labyrinthine musical experience.
But shit man, I'm sooooo glad you've come around. SO glad. Way too glad actually.
