1989 was a veeeeery mid album. Lana released Ultraviolence of the same year in 2014, Florence released How Big How Blue in 2015 around the same time as TPAB. Adele released 25 in 2015 and, while it was too late to be submitted, is by far a better and mor complex alum than 1989. There are so many pop albums that are sooo much better. 1989 was very ubiquitous and just fucking basic comparatively to so many others.@@wefrenz

The Recording Academy's greatest crime has to be denying this masterpiece the Album of the Year accolade.

Kendrick Lamar. The greatest of our time.

The To Pimp a Butterfly era of Kendrick Lamar ended the debate of who is the Leader of the next generation. Talk about Lyricism, the jazz and the ability to express vital topics in a manner that makes you think about what he is saying. He gave the best example of what Rap music should be with this album. A rapper showing the world his intellect through rap surpassing the sexualized videos and curse words that rap is perceived as. All respect to the 2Pac, Rakim and them but not until someone is able to top this expression of art as a rapper will he seize from being the Greatest of All time in my book. Critical thinkers will understand what I mean.
@kingakim11 3 місяці тому
music isn't only for critical thinkers though. I agree with a lot of what you say, Kendrik is amazing, I bought the album physical copy. Music however, even hip pop/rap , is much more nuanced. So he may have ended the debate for you, but there were times I genuinely felt J Cole was better, sometimes I think Future is the GOAT, I think Meek is underrated from that generation as well; I listen more Meek nowadays than I do Cole or Kdot. Lil Wayne is still my favorite rapper. In terms of career, albums, and talent, I even think Nicki is better than a lot of these top 5 guys always being mentioned. Just my 2 cents.
@kalas_zm 3 місяці тому
Well the topic of who wins the debate may be quite complex because music is based of different things and when I said critical thinkers I meant people that are able to openly asses what I was talking about in the comment above not being a critical thinker from a listening stand point. I mean I still listen to some of the most "not conceptual" (24 playboy carti) songs that may have a good hook or are just catchy and still find them hard but I have not let that cloud my judgment on what's most valuable. So my point is To pimp A Butterfly on paper is the greatest representation of how "valuable" rap music can be from a "mainstream" artist @@kingakim11

It’s crazy how an album on 1st listen you don’t really like but after giving it more listens you realize just how great the album is. That’s what happened with me with this album. Didn’t like it at first but as I listened more, it’s one of the greatest albums in music history

@@7Mushrooms7 not deleted just buried. i don’t think it was ever posted until this video. I remember there being a lottt of outcry after the grammys, people weren’t trying to hear what he had to say, probably because kendrick was basically calling out the entire country in 2016- so yeah no one really knows the exact reason it was never posted but that’s my logical guess

@@SamuPuuronen simply cuz hes a genius in production and creating music, a good lyricist, one if not the best in sampling, and very versatile with the projects he releases. u should definitely start with his first album the college dropout u will instantly see just how good he is and then work your way up with his more latest ones and his albums are so unique from each other that its crazy how almost all of it is top tier. if u decide to listen to him u defo won't regret it.

Great that it's back up, but don't forget why it wasn't available in the first place: it offended the sensibilities of some powerful people at a time before MeToo, before George Floyd, before the richest and most powerful people pretended to care about issues like these. Hopefully it stays up this time.
