    going to a store,being able to hold it in hand, see what the Cd design looks like and read the booklet etc>>>>>>>>>

    Agreed but you can't play a CD on your phone...

    Also, I was a strong advocate for the digital booklets that come with some digital albums. Shame that they barely make em anymore.

    You reaching something serious fam

    ? the same chics....
    Walking round like y all made Thriller

    IMO that's bout Ye

    The thing bout pawning ? and running off w ur masters to me is a warning bout the Kardashians

    What same women have Jay and Ye messed with? That ? is about ? in general who are sharing the same 4 girls and beefing over them ? Ameber Rose on what her 3rd or 4th rapper already...

    U rip the cd to your comp, transfer to your phone. 2 birds in 1 stone.

    Bruh... We already covered that.

    Also that four bar loop quote had a ? feelin bad as ? lol :bawling:

    TPAB was an album I struggled to find a four bar loop on. Production was immaculate. There was always a slightly different baseline, a horn run, a key riff, something to keep variety.

    Lol, I dabble in production, hence why I said that. But I agree wholeheartedly. The musicality is one of my favorite things about TPAB. I still don't see why it's so hated...

    TPAB isnt hated...its just a heavy ass album to listen to and nobody is in that mood all the time to unpack that much from the music they listen to. Its not a bad album, its an extremely good to great album but aint nobody in the mood to decipher ? or hear Kendrick suicidal thoughts all the time.

    IMO, is not hated. I get the sense that it was "too heavy" for some folks.

    because it had depth.

    TPAB is one of those albums ? wont appreciate until years from now

    that album was medicine something ? needed to hear at that point and time

    That was more of a rhetorical statement than anything. Let me put it like this, it still baffles the living ? out me how a lot of us blantantly shun substance and/or intellect.

    Comments like this are why people are starting to say Kendrick fans are reaching Lupe stan level of being pretentious prices on some I'm smarter than you ? . It aint about shunning substance. The album was universally lauded. "Alright" became a song people chanted as they marched in the streets....but damn nobody wants something that heavy every time you cut on the album. DAMN has substance and intellect and it's heralded too...its also just plain and simple more fun to listen to

    Think about iy

    *both struggled to get a record deal early on

    *both were cosigned by legends from their eras (nas-rakim, jay-Big Daddy Kane)

    *both put out classic debut albums

    *both were considered the best rapper in NY at one point

    *Both married R&B singers

    *Both put out great and really bad albums that made people think they were washed and returned to drop great critically acclaimed material

    *both worked closely w Steve stoute

    Glad to see hov bounce back from MCHG, but he had plenty of ammo and topics to expand on since the lemonade album, its his second best album post retirement. Imo he his subliminal game is the best, he took kanye's mentor, made an whole album and still insulted him, That Future line was well executed, the messages of building your own wealth and being there for his kids without sounding preachy, i salute him. No Classic but definitely 4 1/2 mics. Will be coppin the physical, supposedly its got more tracks
