How low are your standards Hum.... Interesting. As I said, it's very artistic. Lots of time put into this. It's a great piece of music. What more do you want? Illmatic? Good Kid, M.A.A.D. City? The Chronic? Those come only once in a while now. This is its own lane, its own style that is to be listened to differently. If you can't understand that, it's cool. Music is subjective. But know you are in a minority.

Sonically
and about this sounding like a broadway play I think its amazing hiphop is steppin up
Everyone just ignore Will from here on out. He's either trolling or just has no ear for music.Honestly believe in a decade, people will group this album with 90's classics. Only time will tell.
This ain't hip hop. There isnt a single beat on there that says to me hip hop. This is a West Coast born and raised, but neo soul infused, contemporary rap album

This is a West Coast born and raised, but neo soul infused, contemporary rap album^^ so what is your definition of a "hip hop beat"? "wesley's theory", "king kunta" are traditional westcoast hip hop beats to me...."alright" is no hip hop? "the blacker the berry" no hip hop? nevertheless i enjoy the neo soul, funk & jazz infusion on this album, if you don't like these genres then it might not be the right album for you.

Out of every musical genre imo there's nothing worse than bad jazz. Kendrick took all his (good) ideas from his previous music and stirred it in a big pot filled with bad jazz and neo soul and poured out TPAB. He went full Kanye on this one
great review, ty for taking the time to write it. i'd add that i think this album flows and is more cohesive than his first. whereas the first had a couple joints that maybe didn't fit exactly perfectly in, production wise, this one flows better to me. just based on one listen. i'm sure my opinion will continue to evolve over time
I'm not a fan but he is talented. I tried to listen to good kid mad city but the production was so bad that i couldn't give it more than two listens. Just by skimming through the album, this sounds more like something i would enjoy.
