"If these POLLs could talk" - Kendrick Lamar - To Pimp a Butterfly

U is one of the most haunting and true songs i've ever heard. starting to prefer this to DAMN, just needed time

for sale is so good

turrican otm throughout this thread

Thanks Ross - this is still very much my album of the decade, although The 1975's I Like it When You Sleep... isn't too far behind.

i will probably have to hear that 1975 record. yeah i prefer TPAB to DAMN by a margin now, but i still feel DAMN is easier to listen to front to back, and also the reverse version is really cool. TPAB really needs to be absorbed as a whole statement and im not sure if im alone in feeling that kendricks speech to the crowd and subsequent interview with Tupac are almost tear inducing in their call to justice.

There's a few people that don't really like stuff like the ending to the album version of 'i' and the long outro to 'Mortal Man', but I disagree - I couldn't think of a better ending to the album. I just think it's perfect.

agreed!

honestly i love the poem throughout and any time Kendrick just drops monologues, he is always engaging.

the only kendrick song i can think of disliking is the acoustic one on untitled

The jam session?

yeah, the one with singing about the head or whatever - felt like one of those moments where an artist is surrounded by people telling them they can do anything, so they do without considering that it maybe sucks.
